However, this time I wish I was home working on my army.....haha!

Grimtooth Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Got stuck in Mexico another night so haven't got any work done. I might be taking part in an escalation campaign which is going to suit my building attitude this time around instead of trying to rush through a big army for a tournament.

Grimtooth Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Got home late tonight from Mexico and found a bits package with my set of Blood Talons to wolf up my vendread a bit. However after making the first Blood Talon, I was not impressed. So I used the hand option from the ven dread kit and the talons from my bits order and a bit more happy with how it came out; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-18_23-51-57_330_zpsf915cfd2.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-18_23-49-40_179_zpsd9c3e790.jpg Just roughed in now and in need of greenstuff to fill some gaps and clean up the connections.

Grimtooth Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well got hung up on cleaning up my new dread ccw a little more and then started getting stuff of the SW sprues to wolf up the dread a bit more. Then I set about cleaning up some bits to make the following, Wolf Standards x2 http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-19_20-34-42_797_zpsffabc061.jpg Power Axes x2 http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-19_20-35-01_775_zpsb36c8f4c.jpg Gotta bore out the barrels and then ready for primer (heads and power packs done seperately).

Grimtooth Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'll be watching this thread for sure! Everything looks great so far Brother Ramses! Thanks Kas. I am taking a bit more time with this build then my old builds which is hopefully going to make for a better built and painted army. I am also pretty set on what I plan on doing with models as far a bits and custom work so I am not doing a ton of experimenting. The dread ccw was a bit of quick thinking, but it was just an improvement of an idea I already had regarding a more wolfy dccw. I am trying to get 500pts together right now for an escaltion league that will help keep progress going.

Luckily I hadn't gotten to far into my army when i decided to take my time as well and customize them. Eventually the older stuff will be rotated out once I get some decent replacements. I really like the improved DCCW. Looks proper for a Wolf intombed in a Dreadnought. Goals are always a good idea to keep you focused. And at such a small points level keeps your enthralled on not get bored/exhausted. Good luck brother!

Grimtooth Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Finally got one pack completely cleaned of mold lines and assembled minus bolters, backpacks, and heads. If I didn't hate mold lines more then I hate scrapping mold lines, I would probably be done with this army....lol. Pictures up tonight when I get back home.

Grimtooth Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 So got a bit done this weekend besides being a fully packed weekend. Two packs fully assembled and ready for prime minus heads, carried bolters, and backpacks.: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-05_23-53-11_589_zpsa2b11b99.jpg Got the custom dread ccw affixed and greenstuffed gaps filed down: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-05_23-54-21_244_zpsab2a112c.jpg Gotta make a new paint box for priming sometime this week. My TWC also keep snapping off the resin bases or from their paws which is damn annoying so will have to pin them all this week which will be a PITA. Till next time.

They are not even primed yet. I will hopefully be priming them this week sometime. The axes were acquired from my LFGS when they had a weekend event where gamers can bring in their stuff and sell it for store credit.

I am not complaining because I was promoted to purple belt!! 5 1/2 years down so far and at least another 10 to go till black.....hahahaahah!

Grimtooth Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Started new army tonight so popped in 13th Warrior and then opened up a new SW battleforce, SM Tactical Squads x2, and a TWC pack. Also flipped open my digital wallet and ordered up SM Command Squad bits for Wolf Standards and a whole mess of resin bases from Secret Weapon Miniatures. Too tired to put what I started up tonight, but will update in the morning. So since I have only partially assembled by first 1000pts or so of my army as well as zero painting, I went ahead and vowed the entire lot of stuff I have for the ETL. Here is to getting 2k points done by August.

Grimtooth Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 For ETL purposes, here is what is assembled so far; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-15_21-15-12_121_zps13c12460.jpg Here is what is pending to finish up my vow; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-15_21-15-00_598_zps0ac270b4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/page/2/#findComment-3372435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Some ETL Grey Hunters and WGPL primed and ready for basecoat, but forgot my new paints at home while house sitting so that will begin tomorrow. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-19_16-40-57_865_zpscec786c7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/page/2/#findComment-3375367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I hate mold lines, but hate seeing them on my models after painting even more. This file kit is pretty pretty handy when used with a razor blade to make it a little easier. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-05-20_22-06-24_52_zps76f989d0.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/page/2/#findComment-3376356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
