DimDim Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 First wolf done! Pretty happy with him save for the base which came out a bit wonky but oh well. Next time I need to angle the wolf head down a little more as well. C&C? DimDim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nice and subtle, compared to the regular wolves, who I find gaudily over the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimDim Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Cracking Space Wolf mate, what did you use for the grey? The grey is Mech standard grey, glazed on the highest points with dawnstone (very watered down). Then I wash with a three to one mix of nuln oil and lamian medium, and return after to pinwash the models deepest crevasses with straight nuln oil. The edges are highlighted with dawnstone afterwards. Hope this helps! Do I spy a "borrowed" Blood Angels sword? Controversial. Dallo The idea for the force is that it is a forward element sent out by Russ in order to hit the enemies of mankind and weaken them before a main imperial fleet arrives, keeping the foes occupied until then. As such by the time of the heresy they are all veterans, and under equipped. The idea for the sword is that it was a gift from the angels as a show of respect, but with the enemies the hunting fleet faces now, why leave a perfectly good power sword sitting on a wall in a battle barges great hall? Now onto the next finished marine! Space Wolves Veteran Legionary Pack Member Bran Assault of Anjar A fenrisian born and raised, Bran joined the Wolves forces after the arrival of the Emperor upon Fenris. Renown for his quick wit and jolly demeanor, Bran served numerous years as an ambassador alongside the wolves fellow legions learning their ways of war and forging bonds he thought everlasting. Having returned to his legion Bran volunteered for the Hunting fleet personally, hoping to add more glories to his saga as a warrior of the vanguard. Learning of the betrayals at Isstvan III and V it is said Bran laughs no more, choosing to blacken his helm as a sign for the sorrow he holds for his slaughtered kin.

BeatTheBeat Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Damn, I love these Wolves. Perfectly captures the pre-Heresy (and IMO much better/more fitting) feeling of their fluff.Cheers,BTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morngrym Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Been enjoying your entire thread here as I'm catching up with things. Â The wolves are coming along nicely. Â I'm curious to see what FW does with the wolves when they finally release some heresy era models. Â In the meantime I think you have captured the spirit here nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Vet sergeant: Space Wolves Veteran Legionary Hunt Master Alek Assault of Anjar A veteran of the hunt for numerous years, Hunt Master Alek was highly regarded for his quick thinking in decisive moments and for the absolute brutality with which he executed the foes of his father and the Emperor. Early records state Alek was involved in the purging of forces deemed excommunicated by Terra itself, perhaps hinting at the old wolfs participation in the culling of their previously fallen kin in a time far before the darkness of the Horus heresy. A prime example of the state of equipment the wolves had to hand, Alek is pictured in a mish mash of armour patterns. Most prevalent are the replacement Mk.IV pieces that the hunting fleet liberated from the traitor mechanicum vessel "The Ashen" supplementing the veterans presumed damaged Mk.III plate. His fate is unknown. *EDIT Ive been thinking about giving him a second claw. Opinions? Im having great fun painting these wolves up, and to be quite frankly honest the ease at which I can pump them out makes them even more appealing. Expect more in the future!

Soric Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm with Pheidias on the lightning claws, do it. http://media.giphy.com/media/wErJXg1tIgHXG/giphy.gif Also if you can maybe magnetize them to give you the option later.

DimDim Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks for the opinions lads, im in the process of attempting a magnetization Now back to what this thread was originally all about: Ive finished the last few knights for my Templar unit, rounding them out to ten. I figured I would get as much Fist stuff done as possible and put up here before itake a deeper dive with the Wolves hunting fleet. Some of my personal favorites, all dressed to impress in their void hardened mkIV minus the sarge. Guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks. And my overall favorite: Finally heres a piece I posted about a while back but never uploaded a finished model for: My kind of loyalist night lord and his literal "red gauntlets" I think im going to head back to this guy and highlight his skull.

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 This. This is awesome. Nothing like the vision I have for my Fists, mind you, but awesome nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch@oZ Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just a little throwback on my part- where do those two power fist-lightning claws come from? I can't place the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just a little throwback on my part- where do those two power fist-lightning claws come from? I can't place the right one? Right hand is the Solarite Power Gauntlet from the Templar Brethren kit with the Lightning Claw Addon from the Special Weapons Upgrade kit with the Left fist being from the same source as the claws.

DimDim Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Good call slips, even though I know the fact that that fist being a solarite power gauntlet makes your skin crawl :D Little update, showing off a unit I complete a loooooong time ago but never showed off for some reason. Heres my recon squad done up in the pre primarch scheme for the fists. Id like to think my painting has improved since then: Also im supposed to be saving these for the hobby challenge next month but I got a little antsy and built a wolf ive been thinking of doing for a long while.

DimDim Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sooooooo, been almost a month and no updates here, thats due to my inability to keep focused resulting in this log: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320164-legends-of-the-hunt-a-vith-legion-log-loads-of-pics/ So, if you like my wolves or Horus Heresy wolves in general, have a stop by. I usually dont bite I figured the wolves were becoming an army of their own, and the fists deserved their thread back. Dont worry though, as I bring WIPS. (seems I like building more than getting stuff finished..) "A slaves life is all you understand. You know nothing of freedom traitor." Strategos on deck! I've built my personal avatar more than once, and ive always found him lack luster. So far im really happy with this guy, although he is still very early on. Still not sure on the whole gripping the helm thing, and if I do go for it it may be with a custom built arm cradle or at the least a helmet swap on this arm. Dont have a blade suitable enough for him though, and in wondering if I should have him gripping the hilt of his sword while it is still in his scabbard. The head will probably see a change unless I sculpt some facial hair on him. But small progress is progress none the less. If anyone has a sword recommendation (i would rather it not be too ridiculous, and preferably capable of being swung two handed), you would be most appreciated.

DimDim Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Still tweaking the pose and I think I prefer this version with the helm, if just to avoid the sculpting of facial hair. Still unhappy with the sword though. DimDim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I see what you mean with the sword it doesn't seem very VII Legion - bit generic but how about the Emperors Champion sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
