Combat_Vet Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Got the left arm finished. Now I just have to do the backpack and do touch-ups and the task force will be under way :) http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/170ECB9F-8ED4-4A75-AFF7-101F10AFAB6E_zpsyqplqzxd.jpg C&C are welcome as always.

Combat_Vet Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 @ Forte - Thanks! it was fun and I still need to figure out the right blue, but I'm getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Started another thunderwolf. I'm just adding a little more metal to the models. I don't want to go overboard, just make them a little more battle hardened. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/C27A7C74-A5F1-425C-ADAB-A40D3205AD17_zpsxispam7i.jpg I am hoping it looks like metal ribs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaky Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Nice ribs were they sparingly made? Sorry very poor attempt at a joke. But nice work none thr less will all your wolves have some form of cybernetics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat_Vet Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 spare ribs? that's funny :) All of them will have cybernetics to some extent. I think the ribs are as far as I will go though. A piston in the leg here, a plate there, just minor things. I don't want them to become "all" cybernetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaky Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Oh fair play :) enough battle damage to denote they have seen it all but not so they could be mistaken for a T series robot. Look forward to see your pack with some paint on keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice! Totally reminds me of Wolverine. Your wolf is substantially more intimidating that Logan, however. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat_Vet Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Started putting paint on the wolves and had a roadblock and wanted opinions if possible. This is where I was http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/E86FD879-52A1-4A66-8C00-DE64FB2CDA39_zpsjtq0asvn.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/4B46B100-49EE-4F49-9A1C-F53FE9F3553F_zpsswzmcxlk.jpg Then Forte mentioned Native Americans in his thread an my addled brain seized onto the idea. Power armor seemed too heavy at that point and I remembered some half finished wolf scouts I had in a scrap box collecting dust. This is where I am now http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/DE5070B6-986F-4D28-B791-AA7551CE2C05_zps7vnku8m6.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/EF36DD35-82D9-469B-83E4-EDDAB74ADB17_zpsjxkzvmlv.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/6FF8BF05-6E04-431C-A2F0-ECD20B4A4593_zpsz6qolrng.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/FF02C06E-6791-477C-87B7-E32CBFB32E5C_zpscjbbkrza.jpg Both are early stages so both concepts are easily worked from this point forward. They will be used (if at all) as counts as bikers either way. So I suppose the question is, full armor marines or half armor scouts? As always any C&C would be great thanks.

Fytharin Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I like the half armor scouts. I happened to find a bare arm with a wooden shield in a friends bit box, put on one of my cavalry guys and I've been in love with the idea ever since. Didn't think to pull from a scout box thanks for the idea. I like the mech GS you're adding into the wolves, it's just the right amount. Keep up the good work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 sorry not much help as i like both ideas .are you able to do both types of rider and have them separate from the wolves so you can pick and choose as your games demand? nice wolf painting too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 @ Fytharin - thanks. The armored scouts I am using are years old and are kit bashed from standard marines. I did notice that regular plastic scouts fit nicely on the back of the wolves with very little adjustment needed. @Daemonclaw - You are being too kind about the wolves LoL the scouts pop off easily from the wolves right now. I may do a set of actual marines as well and magnetize both sets. That is a very good idea. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaky Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It looks really effective the colours on the wolves :) can o ask which ones you used as I may do something similar with my brothers ;) uh I agree with demonclaw would give you alot more freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 The wolves were mostly just dry brushed up to this point. The brown wolf used all P3 paints Body - Idrian Flesh (flesh wash), Gun Corps brown, Battle Dress Green Mane - Hammerfall Khaki (flesh wash), Thrall Flesh The grey wolf used Upper Body - (Citadel) Abaddon Black brushed with Vallejo (Model Color) Dark Blue Grey Lower Body - (Vallejo MC) Dark Blue Grey brushed with P3 Thrall Flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 So I am sitting around bored and I decide to knock around my army idea a little. I say why not do a small display for the desk to get a feel for the army and have a ready color reference as well.So I start building this little piece. It will show two wolf scouts handing a crown to a Space Wolf Vet Sergeant and A Night Lord Termie.http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/CoC%202013/D7F2D739-8988-4C39-8E4C-9FAF0AD966BE_zps4hqbhpwu.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/CoC%202013/E56A7BED-FA0F-4D67-9894-B6457C90AAD6_zpsc70mb4ar.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/CoC%202013/8B77E3E5-123D-4F54-A7CA-3ED9E139C2F2_zpsf3ttdz4w.jpgI figure this way my colors will all be present as well as my basing style. There will be several casualties on the display but as they are abhumans and generally not named, I will continue that tradition As always any and all C&C is welcome.

Squeaky Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks for the colour palette and how to. Great idea with the diorama I like it alot especially the idea behind it having a practical purpose. A really good start cool crown too ;P only thing I can see a bit off is the wolf lord leaning like he has had one two many ales or he is being blinded by the bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think I have finally found the right blue :) http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/E3033BE8-D5DC-485E-AB62-1C50A33D5DF5_zpsefaikfce.jpg This one doesn't seem to look as "evil smurf" to me at least.

Forté Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 May want to dull the metal down a bit though ;) Nice blue and red. And the subtle lightning looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 @Forte - The metal will still be washed and highlighted then the weapon casings will be painted. I was just so happy to have a working blue I wanted to tell the world LoL (A Night Lords army without a working base color is not a happy sight believe me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Oh wow. Very pretty. I always love it when I see a perfect "midnight" blue black with just a hint of edgy blue highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokkorex Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 looking forward to seeing the diorama more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 @Flint - thanks. I have been trying different colors from different companies to find the right color. I finally stumbled across the right combination for the blue for a base color I am happy with. My army is now ready to to be "in midnight clad" with the rest of you. :) @lokkorex - I am tweeking the diorama a little here and there. I will post pics as soon as I can.
