Quixus Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Passable for an ultramarine vet sgt?More than adequate. How did you do the left lightning claw? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3779182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat_Vet Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 @Quixus - I made the left claw by trimming the back away from the "middle finger" chaos power fist an adding the Dark Vengeance chaos lightning claw. A little modeling epoxy to seal the cracks and "viola!" @Flint - My store has about half an aisle (6ft) of FW goodness. It is limited to say the least. Over the last two years I have gotten lucky and found my contemptor dread, Typhus, and now Huron. I am sure seeing him in the store made up my mind about adding termies to my list.

Combat_Vet Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Picked up some Scribor shields for the Termies. I hope they will tie in with Huron's shoulder pad. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Ultras/0CAA6FFE-14EE-4CC2-BB44-E7C6CD90F81D_zpsds8e0kwp.jpg Thoughts?

Combat_Vet Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I still haven't been able to decide which legion I am going to be building. I have decided that that they will not be 100% trusted :) http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/6CC21C43-FC7B-4AFD-8B7F-2009961987ED_zpsnb9p8yof.jpg Everyone needs a little wolf in their life after all LoL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3898714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 So I started working on the wolves, mostly to get a break from the horror of blue. This is what I have as a test model for my 30k Wolves so far http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Ultras/0293F32B-20A0-436D-A041-C47F01A1D937_zpsn4tf0cak.jpg I am wondering: does the grey look too close too pre-crusade or is it "wolfy" enough? Any thoughts or input would be great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3899359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Definitely has a very "robin egg" hue to it, so if you're going for post-heresy wolfy, I'd say you're right on the money. Then again, Thunderhead gray is cooler than baby powder blue any day of the week Glad to see you back to work buddy! I am dying to see that claw/mace guy in Cataphractii plate a little closer and a little more colorful.

Combat_Vet Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks Flint, as always with me it's a matter of finding the right color. That's my major road block in deciding a legion to paint :) I will be using the Wolves to break to monotony of my Ultras (penance) and I am just about finished building them so should be painting them soon. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/1FB6EA3F-E07F-43BC-8B77-31C5D3E00494_zps4gxy4b1x.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3899742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat_Vet Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 I think I am getting closer to the grey I want for the Wolves. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/8877737C-ED46-40C3-BD95-93608B1611DE_zpssn0bej9c.jpg I have also come to the decision to stick with Task Force Nibelung. A combined Space Wolves/Night Lords army that will allow me to paint and convert both armies that I enjoy most and also allow me to play either side should I ever decide to learn to play the game :) Making a lot of progress of the "Golden Lion of Calth" as well. (Ajax is never used enough in my opinion and he was a very honored warrior. Both were actually. Little Ajax just happens to be my favorite next to. Achilles and Neoptolemus) http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Ultras/1991A731-486F-4C55-BD92-86C82B4BB118_zpsfyarlxav.jpg Thoughts?

Combat_Vet Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Test model (PiP) of the NL side of the army. I did brass trim as he's a SGT so I wanted to set him apart from his squad. I think I'm going to go less skulls and more scalps (they will have skulls just not as many as usual). http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/9038CF32-3468-48E2-8466-1C6B34DAFAE5_zps8lg38hkz.jpg As always any tips, hints, or advice are always welcome.

Combat_Vet Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 So I built a new bad to bring my new dread into alignment with the rest of the new guys. Which raises a question do the barrels add to much to the base? I do not play the game (though I may in the future) and want to build within the rules. I know it's just decoration but I also know some people in the hobby are "rules Gestapo" about stuff. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/BD0EB405-62AF-4D04-8595-A517A9767260_zpsx0ielvqg.jpg Too much or is it with the rules?

Flint13 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Rules-wise, I very much doubt anyone would have a problem with it. It does bug me a teeny bit that the giant, chunky contemptor hasn't caved in the side of the barrel a little though :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3902809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 You are right Flint. I was going for a "splint second in the action" with the pose. Perhaps I can tip one of the other barrels slightly so that it looks like it is in the process of falling and the Dread is in the process of stepping. Hence no damage to the barrel on the ground yet. If that makes any kind of sense. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/1242CF9E-DB77-4140-97D8-C892C3CD70ED_zpspdc6utn9.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286913-random-wip/page/6/#findComment-3902850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marqol Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Seeing that barrel crushed like a tin can would be awesome but I see the scene you are going for and it looks good. I feel a small pile of rubble just scattered around might help the base too, but I could be wrong there.

Combat_Vet Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 @marqol - the base will have scattered rock as well as some fuel cans on it before it's done. I posted it to get opinions on the height of the barrels for the most part. My army is being constructed with the concept of tunnel/asteroid/underground fighting in my mind so the bases will reflect that. I'll also throw pieces from the Space Wolvf bases onto the Night Lords and vice versa to tie them together. Thanks for the input though.

I am up in the air about building the army as a Night Lords list (with simple uniform differences) or building them as Space Wolves and the same thing. I know I am not doing "allies for the sake of rules differences in the army. They will all come from one list, but the Wolves won't have 30K rules for years. All that aside any input, C&C, or advice is always welcome.
