MithrilForge Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 well i have my color chosen and i finally settled on a great Co (Harald Deathwolf's) and so begins this Skald's story (lets hope its epic without modeling mishaps but plenty of mead,song and a happy ending)... Once upon a time.... There was a box of plastic models(spacewolf terminators) that was sitiing in a for sale tub at a second hand stall,this box was overlooked many times at many events and outings,even though it was remarked upon by many as "being a great bargain!" ,alas each time the weary seller returned home with his wares the box remained there unsold. Then after one such outing the seller was given in trade a few more plastic box's of similar content(TWC and more terminators)....this made the lonely box happy! for now his owner refused to sell the box as he had others to join together with the original box....and so begins the story of how the box found a home... well all jokes aside, here begins my first test model of a squad of wolf guard termies TDAWG'S as i see there known here now ! wip TDAWG 1 - TH/SS . second pic - and an actual shot of the Famous Box! from the story. cheers, Mithril and may i hopefully post more soon.

MithrilForge Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 well.... sleepy town...no response's and low traffic happens in the ol wolves forum im seeing... bit of a shame.... anyways my first rank and file (and trying to be quick) this guy is nearly done,just the shoulder pad and his base and he's ready to go... trying to not go over the top on these guys as i'd like a playable force some time soon C&C IS appreciated.... ++EDIT++ added better pic. cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3448345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 There's no reason you can't go back and add more overthetop details later. Anyway looking pretty good, are you going to freehand the GC sigil or use transfers?

MithrilForge Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 heya Vash, yeah i guess later i can go add more,but in RL he looks great at the moment. i think i may add extra highlights etc to my characters so they stand out a bit more. im going to try and free-hand the pad as its on the right and i don't think the cool B&C transfers go that way ill use transfers for the GH and TWC when i get to them....free hand on 10 termies won't be so bad...famous last words(i hope not) thanks for the look in anyways. cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3448563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Volsung- Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hmmm, the Deathwolf's Company. A worthy choice... hmmm *strokes goatee beard* Excellent paintjob, I like it. Your metal looks a tad messy compared to the smoothness of the blue. Otherwise, excellent stuff. I love that particular terminator head. I clip the the lil braid, and it reminds me of jim raynor.

MithrilForge Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 ha i can stroke my goatee back at ya bud yeah i really like the deathwolf playstyle - TWC and wolves will be a big part of it if i can work it right. the metal is washed mithril,i can see how it looks a bit messy but in real life it looks pretty good...you will have to trust me on that... thanks for the C&C cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3448578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Volsung- Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Fo sho, So are you gonna get Canis and the Wolf Lord model on the TW?I think those are the only two Deathwolf models currently out, yeah?

SW1 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looks like a good start to your force. From the pic's it's a top paint job especially if you're able to knock them out at a decent rate. IMO I've never really rated the baby blue for the wolves as my preference is a much darker heresy inspired grey, but that's just my personal preference though. Keep up the good work. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3449543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creamywynch Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looking good. Like the face. Makes the whole thing pop. Mebbe try using boltgun metal for the weapons as the effect tends to be more smoother with washes than mithryl. I like the darkness of boltgun as well :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3449565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 thanks for the replies guys, i normally use the Boltgun/Mithril combo on metals but i've ran out and the new Boltgun equivalent - leadbelcher that i have is waaay too dark and seems crappy (lives up to its name -metal chuck ), so its mithril till i get another one... here's the shoulder pad done(need more practice but thats ok for now). cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3456795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urauloth Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Looks like a good start! I like the bronze detailing, works better than gold on such light coloured armour.

Sohail187 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I think its coming along really well. I also recently finished 1 of my WGTDA to see how he looks. *MY PERSONAL Preference* however i feel that the helm yellow could be a bit brighter. EDIT: by the way i love the orange hair tone. What colours did you use? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3466453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The pack markings on the helm look great. How do you plan on basing these guys?

MithrilForge Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 @Sohail187 - the hair was based with Vomit brown, then 50/50 vomit/solar orange,then a sepia wash and final very light highlight with solar orange do u have any pics of your "WGTDA" ?? @ A Kvlt Ghost - i was thinking of basing them on clear perspex .... ....thats the look im expecting,but bear with me ! im planning on getting perspex laser cut to the same size as bases with laser etched ice cracks and use frost spray paint on patches to make it look like frosty ice and i'll prob paint the base bottom a light blue with a black rim(not sure on rim color %100)....stay tuned for when i post up the experiment when its done... it 's all there in my mind looking great,lets hope reality is just as kind cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279438-my-spacewolves-plog-from-start-to/#findComment-3466493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenrisWolf Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Your figs are top notch. I like your bright metal work. Given your lighter armor, it looks good.
