Space Wolves: Morkai Great Company


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the comments. I'm still trying to get the unit of Blood Claws built. Just right now time been a little limited with stuff going on right now.

Wow never knew you did Space Wolves ohmy.png Very nice.

Thanks Slave - Yes, this is my third Space Wolves force. I started 13th Company back in the Eye of Terror campaign days, then started a small Space Wolves force which I believe I had a log on this forum in 2008?

I started this current force - Morkai Great Company in 2009 with the codex release & took the Wolves to a lot of events from Throne of Skulls to local events. A small amount of my Wolves army where feature on the Games Workshop web site back in 2012 when I was there for a double event.

Since then, the current updated Marine kits & now the new Wulfen book give me finial push to go back & add a lot more to the force. I want to have it Company strength & finial get a model base on my Lord build.

George Dellapina Space Wolves force from the 4th ed rule book been one of the main reason I've collected Wolves. Along side Wolves allow conversion, background really cool & there great fun using them in games, all these are important & why I pick any army :D

I've also got Ravenwing (second army, as last one was collected in 2005) as well, that will also get a lot cool new models added in the future.

Just Chaos is always my favrout faction, with Iron Warriors been my favrout Legion.

Update

 

So after trying to get my Space Wolves back up & running, I got a little bit knock off track.  But now everything sorted, it now time to push forward with the Space Wolves, always adding to my Iron Warriors & pushing forward with a lot of other hobby related project.

 

So I think last time I shown the Wolf Guard Battle Leader I'd added to my force, just because the new Deathwatch model from the box game look really cool.  I also though it would be a nice theme for the Wolf Guard Battle Leader been sent to the Deathwatch to gain experince to help him become part of the higher chain of command in my Great Company.

 

I also got the Beastman shield added to him, part this to also help theme the era just as he was pick by the Wolf Priest to one day become the legend Battle Brother who battle in the All Father name

While thing have been a little busy.  I have spent the past few week trying to paint a brand new unit of Bloodclaws for the Iron Wolves formastion I'm wanting to run with my force as it always been Mech heavy.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00339_zpsdfnxdln5.jpg

 

So right now I still need to get

 

- First unit of Bloodclaws shown there, finish.  I just need to double check my army list as I think there a few more Battle Brother & a Wolf Guard to led them into battle.  The above models for the first unit Bloodclaws should hopeful be fully painted during next week.  Just right now this week been pretty chaotic with work about to happen to the house & all focuse is on the ETL & complete painting a Black Legion force for a friend to use that a local tournament this weekend

- Second unit of Bloodclaws to get built & painted.

- Transport for both those units & my Long Fangs.

 

So I want to try get that lot done during September & want to try pick up a few of the Forge World doors for those tanks.  As well as have a look that the Horus Heresy armour & pads that where release for the Wolves a month or so ago.

 

I'm going to add some allies to my Space Wolves as well.  Saturday saw Deathwatch hitting the 40k scene.  So I'm aim to build up a force (third one) that will ally with my Wolves in games as well as been a stand alone force.  So hopeful start included the Deathwatch in this army log as well.

Good to see your Great Company again IP. It's one of my all time favourite armies. Exciting to hear you will be adding the Death Watch elements, I loved the Legion of the Damned dudes you did for them earlier.

 

Just a quick question in regards to your varnish. Do you still use Citadel Gloss Varnish, followed by teslors dullcoat? Is that your preferred method for varnishing models?

Or am I confused?

 

You seem to do quite a lot! Thanks in advance!

Very slick looking Wolves IP! I love how individualistic the models are, which is no surprise from following your IW all these years. I intend to strive for a similar level of individualism as I work on my new Wolf army!

For varnish models.  I just use the standard Games Workshop purity seal varnish.  Then only add gloss varnish to parts, say like the lens or that scope on the bolter or auspex screen.

 

I'm really looking forward collecting Deathwatch again, this was a small force I done for Conflict Scotland 2008 go along side my friend Blood Angels force.  I think I had a small army log on them as well.

I just like trying to have each model tell there own story :D  Like the Wolf Guard there serve as part of the Deathwatch & with the model been really cool :D  Everyone as hero in there own right, with year & year of experience.  This is why converting models is way more important to me & why I can careless/general find it boring what ever the current internet list is - Warp spider spam one kicking about right now.  Just building & painting models I think look cool & enjoy building, gain there theme though all the really great games against friends & events like Throne of Skulls.

 

Yes I saw your army log yesterday & it really great seen that you've included the 2nd ed era Long Fangs with some current era bitz for the Heavy Weapons.

Quick update

 

So pretty much spent today hidding away while heat wave was happing.  As said a few time, I can not tolerate the heat as this cause me to get headache &/or nose bleeds.  So today pretty much been spent hiding & making sure all the fan's & air con where on the go in the house & spend bit time get hobby done.

 

Just got to varnish the Bloodclaws & add Blood for the blood god as well as a few chip/battle damage.  I've just got another 3 Blood Claws to model & a Wolf Guard to led them, as well as Rhino transport.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00043_zpsplsyewam.jpg

 

Then Sunday there - I went to my local Games Workshop store to pick up my Deathwatch box set, codex & datacards

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00036_zpsnrvc08nv.jpg

 

So I spent the first part of today, building the Deathwatch models.  These models are really great & fun to build.  So they will be a ally force to my Space Wolves as well as a stand alone army as end of the day the models are just really cool.  There, Space Wolf, Flesh Tearer, Salamander, Iron Hand & Ultramarine.

 

So background wise, while they are battle along side my Space Wolves, they still have there own goal & mission.  But both force are missing the bigger picture if it true about the 13th Black Crusade happing rumor permitting?

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00057_zpsrtss0itb.jpg

 

Always like the Deathwatch since the Index Astarties article & any time I've made a unit.  For some reason I've always added a Space Wolf Battle Brother inspired by this art work.  Also need to get around to model a Ultramarine w/Heavy Bolter that some point.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/14067706_1082084441882452_1990222212295728901_n_zpsjvpl0uul.jpg

 

So here the current version.  Going have theme between him & the Flesh Tearer where both veteran of the Honour End background & that first how they'd always be fighting.  But since been part Deathwatch Kill team, have let the past be the past & became a unstoppable force.  Wolf act as the scout of the unit, the Flesh Tearer for combat, Salamander & Iron Hand for support fire & Ultramarine to guide them & "try" to make them see the codex astarties way.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00076_zpshibib8dd.jpg

 

Salamander.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00079_zpsgz0ccdss.jpg

 

Ultramarine who will led this unit.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/2016/DSC00080_zpsljlznjzj.jpg

 

I'm really looking forward to painting the new Deathwatch squad & I'm going to try following the video painting guide Games Workshop posted on youtube & facebook

Update

 

It been a little bit busy over the past since the last update & I've put the Wolves on hold until I had a bit more time, which is pretty much now :D

 

Just things like, last week saw a lot of work happen to my home.  So this just meant all my models, pretty much everything had to be put into boxes & into storage.

Hobby wise I've been really busy with my Iron Warriors force.  In September saw a few new unit been added for the Throne of Skulls event & while I've been to a lot of great events.  Throne of Skulls Sept was by far the best event I've ever been to with greatness games I've had.  Then stay for a extra day in Nottingham to get a game against my friend & spend my birthday that Warhammer World

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242006-iron-warriors-5th-grand-company-re-born-army-log/?p=4492621

Then after that, it was adding more to my Iron Warriors for my gaming club tournament.  With the release of the new Traitor Hate book.

With thing settle down & have yesterday & today off.  I've been trying to clear some of the hobby back log.  So today was getting the four Bloodclaw models varnish.  So I just need to add chip/battle damage & Blood for the Blood god to the models.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00158_zpsgiyis4ki.jpg

 

Then picked this up last week.  That one of my unit of Long Fangs for there new transport & useing Forge World doors that where order last week as well.  I'm going to try pick up another Predator kit & get that build for the second unit of Long Fangs.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00160_zpszcnl62am.jpg

 

Also got around to building the second box of Deathwatch Marine.  Only thing is, I seem to miss place the first lot of spure which had a few weapons & gear I was hoping to use on these models.  It turn up, just because it trying to get everything sorted again after the work to the home.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00162_zpsc9dqurvy.jpg

 

Then the rest of the Deathwatch Marines.  I'm going to try get the five painted Deathwatch model varnish during the weekend as well & get the finial bit of detail added like battle damage & blood for the blood god.

As said there, I'm hoping pick up another Predator tank to use as a Razorback for my second unit of Long Fangs.  I'm hoping to spend this month & next month just getting the Wolves up to date & I'd like to try get a game with them before the end of the year.

Razorback for the Long fang almost there.  Just make some plasticard armour plate.  I'm really looking forward getting the Wolves back up & running, want to try get a Great Company level.

Here the next Razorback for my second unit of Long Fangs.  I prefer buying the Predator models as the turret look a lot better & fit better in my view as well as a nod toward the 2nd ed Metal upgrade part for the Razorback tank.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00293_zps3iiz0vme.jpg

 

I'm hoping to get my second game with my Space Wolves later on in Novemeber since I got the whole army rebase & going to try & see if I can get these brand new tanks fully ready & painted.

Just spent a little bit of time yesterday & today before a game with my Iron Warriors vs my friend Genestealer Cult force.  Here how the Razorback looking, though photo was taken yesterday before the Viking rune where added onto the side of the hull & other detail.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/DSC00314_zps4iskzjvv.jpg

 

I've just got to

  • Add battle damage around the hull
  • Paint the rivits
  • Paint the Long Fang pack marking onto the crew member of the Razorback, as well as add the pack marking onto the Razorback it self
  • Paint campaign mark, see the photo just above with the Grey Hunter razorback with the red arrow with the viking rune which is part of my theme/background/campaign marking for the whole Great Company

Then it just add Forge World weather powder.

 

Then this one was last week?  It the second Razorback for my second unit of Long Fangs.  Then I'm going to build the Imperial Marine I got back in April to my Wolves force.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00467_zpsdztoyxk6.jpg

 

Then this is the lot I bought today.  This is for my second unit of Bloodclaws, so I'm almost there for my Iron Wolves formation.  This unit, along side with the Wolf Guard for the first unit Bloodclaws, are all going to be built next Sunday during my day off.  But I think it will not be until the holidays until I get both unit of Bloodclaws transport (Rhinos) bought, built & painted.

Sorry Midnight I though I replied to this. The dozerblade are from a upgrade spure that was with the Leman Russ in the last ed, before they spure got updated & the problem track got fix, it also has the extra armour plate & fule drum's.

Update

So just as I was hoping push forward with the Space Wolves with the Razorback & second unit of Bloodclaws. I ended up becoming really badly ill, in fact it was during the last update during that time I went from bad to worst. It led to me been ill for two weeks & not been able to get anything done other than sit & watch TV (for all those channel, there so much rubbish dry.png ). It was pretty frustrating as I missed out on a local tournament for charity as well.

Then once thing where ok. All my focuse on the hobby was to complete my vows for the really great & fun event Call of Chaos. You can find my complete vows on my Iron Warrior army log

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242006-iron-warriors-5th-grand-company-re-born-army-log/?p=4592004

But onto Space Wolves while there are still some left!!!

So my holidays started yesterday, Friday where I've got about two & a half weeks off. During this time, beside enjoy Christmas biggrin.png I want to try get as much done, the first week mostly try get as much my own space as well.

So hobby wise with a sort of gap. I though I would make this push to get those units I've said I'd add, added & painted. When it come to building models, that take me the longest to be honesty, but as soon as the models are undercaoted, painting is never a issue.

In fact I just spent today getting the first Long Fang Razorback painted. There few parts still finish & few Viking Rune to paint. But for now I'm really happy how the Razorback turn out. So just need to vanish & weather powder the model.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00200_zpsdd7r4qrp.jpg

Then the second Razorback which I think I just got build when I lasted updated. So I'm ether going to spend tomorrow or Tuesday building the extra armour plate from plasticard for this & for my Rhinos - see below.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00281_zpslj1fooak.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00291_zpspxpxqntv.jpg

Also with me adding Deathwatch to my Space Wolves as allies & a stand alone force. I got this lot built just before been ill but never got around to take the photos.

So in this squad is a Raven Guard, Ultramarine, Black Shield, Novamarine (my friend collect Novamarine/base on his force) & then Dark Angel.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00280_zpscn3utnlc.jpg

Then as said during this week I'm wanting to try get as much done for the Wolves. So today while that my local Warhammer store. Bought these two Rhinos for my Bloodclaws. While the tactical marine box set to help with parts toward the second unit of Bloodclaws........& I think I've also still build a Wolf Guard for the first unit I shown a while back. I'm temp to try model some of them as Deathwatch Veteran & useing the Thunder Hammer left over from the Deathwatch kits as they just look cool & somthing a Space Wolf would "borrow" after there time with the Xenos Order.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00235_zps9evu1uoa.jpg

Then the stuff I shown last update. So to get the second unit of Bloodclaw built. I also got the Imperial Space Marine (thanks to the Renegade box set biggrin.png ) & going to build him for my Wolves as he a cool model & like the one Simon Grant had done when his Space Wolves where in the White Dwarf as part of Army of the Month.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00277_zps2p6fvrsq.jpg

So I'll try get some update during the week of all these new models. I've got Tuesday, Thursday & Friday set aside as days toward the hobby as said just get my own space before Christmas & how busy the week between then to New Year can get.

Tomorrow also going to see the Imperial marine finish.  I'm just unsure what to do for the right shoulder pad?  I think I'm going to check out Simon Grant Wolves army that was in Army of the month in the White Dwarf a month or two ago as he had a Imperial Marine in his Great Company.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00322_zpsqk7ou6dj.jpg
