Deathscream Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread to post pics and ideas I have and or had in regards to my wolf army here. I didn't go for the ETL compy this time around since I didn't complete the last 2 challenges I attempted. I just don't work well under pressure, sorry. Plus I have wrangled a good friend of mine into painting most of my minis for me (he is a waaaaaaaay better artist than I am), so showing off my models is all I could do. My army are the Night Wolves, a fleet of space wolves en route to battle one of the biggest massings of Orks the galaxy had ever seen. What they did not know was that exterminus was already put into action. Upon arriving in the planets system the fleet is sucked into a massive time space rift. Floating for what seemed like years, but was actually moments in the reality the came from, the fleets coms, radars, and other electrical equipment finally came back online. Their own voices the only answer from the static vox. The army was crushed and out raged. A course towards Holy Terra was launched!! Along the way the attending Tech-Marines began to suspect that something was amiss. Read outs and scans of charted and know plants where reading off from what they should be. Much discussion ensued. And their fears where put to reality when arriving at the Terra itself only to find the densest, most lush planet many of the Long Fangs had ever seen. But not a single for of an evolved species, not even a trace of their possible foot print!! Basically, and cliche knock off of a lot of years reading sci-fi and a desire to field an army that was a little more my own. Some of you may remember me from a couple years back as Rune_Priest_Rhapsody. I shed that moniker after a long stint away from 40K. It's good to be back, I still wish I had more time for this hobby. My wife seems to think she needs to see my go outside more than to walk to the car on my way to work! BAH!! Anyways for my into post, I'll give you a couple of pictures of the models I am currently working on!! Here's one of my three Lone wolves in TDA. He will have a sword stuck in the outcropping he is standing on. In each of his hands will be a stein of mjod. I will also give him a long flowing beard and mustache. I am currently waiting on the GS 'mugs' to dry. http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04022-1.jpg http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04023.jpg http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04024.jpg This is my Wolf Priest in TDA with a combi plasma gun. He need GS work as well. fur to connect the pelt to the shield on his back and filling in the crozius gap. http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04025.jpg http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04026.jpg http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/DSC04027.jpg Look for more soon guys, and enjoy!!

Sohail187 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 i use cork for my bases but it is not as think as this.

Deathscream Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 @Sohail187: I live in the USA and there is a craft store chain here called 'Michaels". I bought it there. I got 4 12x12 inch pieces for less than $10. It is a great thickness for basing as you can cut it in half again. @Russ Brother: Thanks, it's good to be back here and to the game as well! I have the body of the mugs finished now, but the handles are giving me quite a pain in my ass.

Sohail187 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 <p>it really is great thickness of cork. The cork i been using is like a fraction of what yours is. It just looks so much better. How thick is that cork in mm?</p> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278285-my-wip-thread-and-musings/#findComment-3420468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Deathscream (RPR), welcome back. The models are looking good, mate. I just picked up some cork from Michaels this past weekend, and am experimenting with the new basing style.

Deathscream Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I love the cork for basing, plus the cohesion of it makes my army stand out. So those of you who remember me know my unbridled love for terminator armor, and elite armies. I tired my hand at running a GH heavy list that is closer to a competitive build, but it's just not my play style. So I'm back to assembling ore TDAWG's ( I know you guys love that abbreviation!! ;) ) to complete a solid 2500 points worth of soldiers and transports. I also have on my work desk seven TWC and a second pack of fifteen Fen wolves for a full 200 points of savage wolf riding goodness. I am also working on a heavily converted Nurgle CSM army, but this isn't the place for that... Since this is my party, and I'll cry if I want to. Cry if I want to. I am going to post my basic army lists for each themed army here as well. My meta is full of top tier armies, I still play for the chance to play, not to win (although I do like winning!!). Here's the 1750 point termi list: Logan Grimnar Long Fang Pack (6) 5x Missile Launcher Wolf Priest -TDA -Combi-Plasma Joins the Wolf Guard pack below Wolf Guard Pack (5) -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Wolf Claw -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Wolf Claw -TDA/Storm Bolter/Power Sword/ Cyclone Missile Launcher (this model joins the Long Fangs) Drop Pod Wolf Guard Pack (5) -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Melta/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Wolf Claw -TDA/Combi-Melta/Wolf Claw -TDA/Storm Bolter/Power Sword/ Cyclone Missile Launcher Drop Pod Wolf Guard Pack (5) -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Melta/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Wolf Claw -TDA/Combi-Melta/Wolf Claw -TDA/Storm Bolter/Power Sword/ Cyclone Missile Launcher Drop Pod Wolf Guard Pack (6) -TDA/Storm Bolter/Power Sword -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Melta/Power Axe -TDA/Combi-Plasma/Wolf Claw -TDA/Combi-Melta/Wolf Claw -TDA/Storm Bolter/Power Sword/ Cyclone Missile Launcher Lone Wolf -TDA/Storm Shield/Power Sword Aegis Defense Line -Quad Gun And this is the Wolf Wing list at the 1500 point level: Canis Wolfborn Fenrisian Wolves (15) Fenrisian Wolves (15) Wolf Lord -Runic Armor/Belt of Russ -Power Fist/Wolf Claw -Thunder Wolf Mount -Saga of the Bear Joins the pack below Thunder Wolf Cavalry (3) -Storm Shield/Close Combat Weapon -Storm Shield/Close Combat Weapon -Bolt Pistol/Close Combat Weapon Wolf Guard Battle Leader -Runic Armor -Storm Shield/Wolf Claw -Thunder Wolf Mount -Saga of the Warrior Born Joins the pack below Thunder Wolf Cavalry (3) -Storm Shield/Close Combat Weapon -Bolt Pistol/Close Combat Weapon -Bolt Pistol/Close Combat Weapon Thunder Wolf Cavalry (3) -Storm Shield/Close Combat Weapon -Plasma Pistol/Close Combat Weapon -Bolt Pistol/Close Combat Weapon With this list, I am unsure about the lord, I may run 2 WGBL's to save on points. That could give me another Fen wolf pack, not that another troop choice is needed in an army list that isn't about holding objectives. Lastly for today, here's a few pictures of painted Wolf Guard.
