InquisitorDean Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hello! It's Inquisitor Dean! Yes, I know, I have been away for a long, long time. Sadly I spent a great deal of time away from the hobby, there was a few shoulder operations and a bit of nerve damage to the paintin' hand... But, I AM BACK! My friends and I decided to get back into the hobby. I decided to paint a new army as I digested the new rules. I've always had a fondness for The Space Wolves, so choosing a new army to paint was easy. Here's the set up so you can best experience the madness that infests my head... My army is based on the 13th Company... and here's why... Who did the 13th Company chase into The Warp? Yes, that's right... Magnus The Red! Who does Magnus work for? Yeah, you got it... Tzeentch! And what does Tzeentch do? Go ahead, you right... He changes things... So, here they are, The 13th Company. Changed in a horrible, horrible way (for a Space Wolf anyway, I guess...) My WARHAMSTERS!!! http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0557-1_zps41af9cd2.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0533-1_zpse2d19381.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0545-1_zps30a17718.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0553-1_zpsd6e6c36c.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0552-1_zps9dc13d35.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0549-1_zpsdd66a093.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0548-1_zps0bbd6e61.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0544-1_zpsdd25870d.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0536-1_zps08d3e117.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0535-1_zps568b8601.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0534-1_zps84cec17d.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0532-1_zpsc5adc18e.jpg Here are close-up's of the shoulder pads... http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0558-1_zps937b8186.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0533-2_zps80c62a21.jpg Each Spacehamster has his own Identification number on the red (right) shoulder pad. I finished up my first character as well... Bran Redmaw... err... Bran Hamstermaw... http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/IMAG0560-1_zps28d22d05.jpg I'm putting the finishing touches on the Werehamster (or The Redmaw, as they call it...) I'll post a picture of him soon! Here is a teaser for my center piece (just a little work needed on that as well...) http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y515/DangerOneDanger/ecd2213b-6afb-4bfa-899e-abd6df22a1ef_zpsbc9e6c56.jpg There ya' go... more to come real soon, I promise!

Kasper_Hawser Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 LOL, actually they remind me of Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Chip N Dale instead of hamsters.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 O man those are amazing. What an entrance back into the hobby. If hamsters drink ale you get one ;) And as a driver of a KIA soul I must second Bryan Blair's statement of please put a KIA emblem on that.

InquisitorDean Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thank you everyone for all your kind comments! To address a few questions... No, my sculpting skills are horrible. I have (I can't believe I'm going to say this...) I have a hamster head source. I am not from Bellingham (are they insane there as well?). Space hamsters probably do drink ale, but most likely It's from one of those water bottle thingys... I love the KIA idea... consider it implemented!

Valerian Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Funny. Well done. Why Bran, though? Are you just using his Forge World rules to replicate your version of a 13th Company force?

InquisitorDean Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Just finished up the detail work on my Commander... In the rulebook, they call him Logan Grimnar... I call him....

InquisitorDean Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Funny. Well done. Why Bran, though? Are you just using his Forge World rules to replicate your version of a 13th Company force? V When I stumbled across the rules for Bran, I thought "Wait a tick! I have an idea for the Redmaw!" thus the idea was born. If you want some fluff... well, the Warp does some strange stuff. I think my small company fights off a Battlebarge (hmmm, maybe called the "Ham-Star"...). They wander the universe fighting evil and Chaos where ever it's found. Since leaving their homeworld and the Space Wolves behind, perhaps they had individuals develop into likenesses of the great leaders from their past lives... Also, I just thought it looked cool!

InquisitorDean Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Okay, I've been painting feverishly my whole weekend (I have odd weekends). I just finished up my Runepriest and his Chooser of the Slain...

Kasper_Hawser Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 There is little more I can say about all your conversions: AWESOME SAUCE AWESOME SAUCE AWESOME SAUCE AWESOME SAUCE! I particularly like Logan Ham-Star, especially that fire effect you put on the end of the Storm Bolter. Looks a little like a bit of cheese overflowing from the Stormbolter muzzle. Do Hamsters eat cheese? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281285-warhamsters-picture-heavy/#findComment-3483841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfran Morkai Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's not April 1st is it? Anyone remember the "Luuurve Wolves" (created by WLK if I recall)? These are certainly different and I'd love to play against them! Well done lad.
