Dantay VI Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I just joined Bolter & Chaisword yesterday and I started a topic in the PCA work in progress section. It was suggested that I post over here too, so I thought it would be nice to put up some pictures of what I have been working on.I work offshore and find that at shift end I get an hour or 2 to indulge myself and I am starting to get a wee bit of notoriety out here now. Thankfully the guys out here are far more tolerant & I daresay encouraging about my pastime.Well as you can gather from the title I am working on Space Wolves and I would like to put together a themed army around the 1st war of Armageddon. This is for a few reasons. 1: I cannot do snow bases to savemy life. 2: It means I can vary the army a bit, as it was drawn from all over the chapter. 3: I can branch out into usable allies (Grey Knights and Imperial Guard) at some point in the future, unless 7th edition wrecks that chance.The pictures are a bit scrappy as I am trying to pull them in from different places but hopefully it will make some sense.If not message me and I will see if I can straighten them out.Thanks for looking, C & C always welcome.http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/DSC_0067.jpgThis is around 60% of my army here. Not in the picture is:10 TWC & Harald Deathwolf20 Grey Hunters15 Blood claws2 Drop pods & 1 Land Raider, 1 Land Raider Helios, 1 Land Raider Achilles, 1 Land Raider Crusader & another Land raider that may become a Terminus Ultra.Also not included is what is sitting on my desk just nowAnother 27 Terminators bwah hahaha....http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/020420141886.jpg Most of which can be seen here and... http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/020420141887.jpg Thriller..I have managed to get my Tartaros terminators mostly done. I need to break out the green stuff and start wolfing them up a bit. While they will be in use for my 40K games I have gone with a 30K colour scheme, why? Well first off all Tartaros and Cataphracts will be Grimnar's company, they are the best of the best and as such they get the best armour. To honour their vows of fealtyto Russ they are the only ones allowed to bear the legions colours. Plus when 30K rolls along I have them in the right colour scheme. http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/Front.jpg</div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/left.jpghttp://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/right.jpg I purchased some Justaerin with a view to converting to Wolf Guard, they are really nice models, but the spikes and eyes, just dont work, so out cme the knife and files and voila!!New Wolf Guard!, the spikes are now studs and the eyes are gone. In some areas I now have big spaces to fill, so maybe when I pluck up the courage i will try some free hand, who knows.<div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/270320141879.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/110420141903.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/110420141905.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/100420141899.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1955.jpg<<div>Again they are almost done, the axe heads have been snipped and replaced with dwarf great axes, so still those to do and the obligatory wolfifying I am trying to keep to a limited pallette to help move things along, but I am hoping that, each model can be a little unique while still looking like a cohesive force. Also on my work desk I have this:<http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1989.jpg</div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1996.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1995.jpgThis is my scratch built version of Logan Grimnar, based on the Legion Praetor body and arms, still very rough WIP and needs a lot of work, hopefully I can pull it off.<div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1990.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1991.jpg< Was my plan for Bran Redmaw's second in command based on the picture from IA11. From the fluff we know that as Redmaw is suffering more from the curse of the wulfen he spends less time with his men, often issuing orders before battle before going out alone, leaving his second in command in charge, The artwork shows a really cool warrior and this will be my take on him. I will use the bulls head as a template to sculpt the wolfs head and hack off the horns, the skulls can get fangs and some of the runes can get filled in, the wolf him up. I am thinking Moloc's shield might have to go though. I have also decided that I want to do my own shields for the terminators, I really like the old norse aesthetic and think that it blends well with the Space Wolves, as such I have been workg on a few prototypes, what do you thnk? These are still very early days still. All my terminators will get on, even if it just gets strapped to their backs, but primarily I will focus on the Chain fists and the Thunder hammers: http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1984.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1987.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1982.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1986.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1988.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1985.jpg</div><div>The last picture is for scale purposes:</div><div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1975.jpg</div><div> </div><div>And talking of Thunder hammers last night I got their base coats down and have just started working on their blacks yellows and browns.</div><div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/270320141878.jpg</div><div>http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1997.jpg</div><div>Got the yellows, blacks and browns done </div> http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1999.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_1999.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2000.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2001.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2002.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2003.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2004.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2005.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2008.jpg And this is where I am now up to http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/Space%20wolves%20in%20progress/SAM_2006.jpg Starting the golds tomorrow.

Dantay VI Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi, Thunderwawk3015 and Fytharin. Thanks, I really like the idea of each warrior having their own heraldry, but keeping the same colours to try and keep them cohesive. The shields help me to do this and also the knot work is fiddly, but it can look awesome if I don't fluff it I need to do another 20 or so, so surfing the web for ideas. If you or anyone else has some celtic/norse designs which could be used I would be more than willing to try them out. I have some pictures on my pc here, so I can put them up and let folks pick from what I have.... effectively help customise my terminators How do I make the pictures bigger?

Valerian Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Welcome aboard mate; if you have any questions, the folks here in The Fang will help you out right away. Â If you're planning on getting more painting done soon, we really could use you in the two concurrent painting challenges that are going on here on the boards: the Titanis Belli (which is all about painting Terminators, of which you have a plethora), and the E Tenebrae Lux 3, in which everything counts (including the Terminators or models in Runic Armour from Titanis Belli.

skeletoro Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hey, not sure if you said, but where did you get the axe (on the lord) and the resin hammers with the knotwork? LOOKS NICE. Â Oh, found it. Dwarf ironbreakers and hammerers. I wonder if any of the other bits in the kit work on marines? The heads look rather amazing and so do the shields. I'd just worry they're too small. Has anyone done a size comparison? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290833-the-rout-released-fenrys-hjolda/#findComment-3680581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 @ skeletoro: The knotwork shields are too small, I can put a picture up later today. They might look good on  normal marines though. I am not sure about the heads, I got all my parts from a bits supplier. The axes, and hammer heads came from the dwarf sets are from the great weapons, the axe and hammer from the lords are both the champions weapons. I got mine from a bits company on ebay, the command sprue set was a few pounds and sets of 10 weapons were cheap too. I can pm you the company details if you are interested.  @Valerian: Hi and thanks for the welcome. Wow, there is a lot here for the painter and modeller. Its just a pity that I have already started these terminators or I would have loved to enter them. I still have 2 to strip, build and paint, but not enough for a unit. If I can get to my friends house and liberate some of the others I will go for it. I do have my Bran Redmaw counts as and a converted Sevrin Loth to a Rune Priest sitting in front of me, so I could oath those just now.  My painting time is restricted to when I am offshore (wife and 4 y.o. son) but I could set myself some achievable targets. I also have some units of TWC & wolves at home on the paint pile that I could throw in too for the ETL. So sign me up!!  @Rune Priest Sven: Signing up to the painting competition, I'll be on it like a car bonnet! and thanks for the kind words. :)  @ Mactire: Thanks, I am glad you like the painting and the shields.  @ Jbickb: Thank you for the kind welcome, I hope I prove a worthy addition to the Vlka :) The shields ado look good don't they?  The shields seem to be getting a lot of love, like I said earlier I am always on the lookout for anyone's input into shield designs. I have a few ideas for shield designs which I could post up if you want, and let folks pick from (thank you google image search), or if you guys have designs of your own or ones you have found and like, let me know and I can work them in.  And thank you all for the positive feedback and kind words Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290833-the-rout-released-fenrys-hjolda/#findComment-3680698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 @Torin: Hi! The hammers? The one on the terminator (Bran Redmaws N.o. 2) is from the Warhammer Fantasy Dwarves, Hammerers boxed set, it is the great weapon. The other Hammers are the Great weapon hammer heads from the same set, combined with the FW Thunderhammer arms. The axes are all from the same set.  Oh 1 of the hammers also cam e from the Thundwof set (the square/ diamond head, looks much plainer)  I am not sure if I can post the name of the bits store I picked them up from on here, but you should be able to get them no problem.

Dantay VI Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Cheers, I based the vows on what I have at home and what may be achievable. The first picure of my army, well tha is all sitting at a friends house, so it isnt totally accessible, which is a shame asthere are 30+ terminators and characters on top. But hey ho.... Â I would ask my friend to mail them to me, but knowing the warp they might get lost...

DobbyKroket Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 no problem, I hope it works out well. I too follow the campaign and think its too bad that there are as good as no space wolves battlereports, I hope that one of the eventual replacements for jay and/or owen plays space wolves.  anyhow, if you have a "spare" thunderwolf rider you want a design for, I would like to see this one  http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs20/f/2007/260/2/d/Celtic_Knot_Tattoo_by_ketsueki426r.jpg  but then with the same sort of lines as your other ones.  (if you dont have any twc left or dont want shields on them feel free to utilize it on whatefer you want)  -rps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290833-the-rout-released-fenrys-hjolda/#findComment-3682712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
