Hey guys, 

 

Just back with a quick update.  In the last few days I have managed to pick up a couple of the Krom Transfer sheets which is good news.

 

Good news means I can now use some scouts I have gathering dust in my SW army (YAY!) but also means that I can trade out an old tactical squad for another pack (which I've just done)...

 

So, in short, I have a bonus 20 marines coming in which I wasn't planning on building.  I'm now just thinking I should ditch my Dark Angels ans just make a Great Company!

 

In other news, I've spoken to my painting man and am expecting a delivery (hopefully next week) with the next batch....the reinforcements will be:

5 Void Claws

2 Lone Wolves in TDA (or fillers for other squads  / WGPL etc)

Iron Priest on TWM

5 TWC

and....a StormWolf!

 

Looking forward to my first game taking these boys out!

Well, I'm back again! This time with quite an update! Not only have I got a fair few hundred points worth of painted minis to share, but I also have news....I'm currently sat building another squad of Long Fangs and a Grey Hunter squad....as well as a contemptor dreadnought, 2 more 'Rhino-backs' and a Land Raider....I'm not setting my sights on a Great Company!!

But anyway, you want pics so here they are!

Storm-grrrr!

Thanks, Amarog!

 

Re: the bases, I don't have a clue!  I started the army last summer when I was recovering from surgery.  The meds have given me a really bad case of the hand shakes so I have a guy paint for me.  I send him build marines and he paints and bases them.

 

I know he sells bases painted and can message you with info if you want it.

 

Cheers

that'd be great mate definately. thanks very much smile.png

p.s. sorry to hear about the post op shakes mate. at least you are still able to build etc :) and still enjoying the hobby.

Well, yesterday saw 15 more PA marines arrive in the post so today saw a little bit of building going on. My paint guy still has 10 Fenrisian Wolves (using Chaos Warhounds for these) and a Cyberwolf but I thought I may as well divert some other minis to this and try and make a Great Company. To do this I need 2 more GH squads, 1 LF squad and 2 more squads of either BCs, Skyclaws or Swiftclaws. So the expansion is this:

I have 3 units of Grey Hunters in the army already. 1x 10 man squad with 2x Plasma guns and a plasma pistol, 1x 10 man squad with 2x Meltaguns and a 5 man squad taken from the Stormclaw box. To supplement this, I'm building 1x 10 man squad with bolters and 2 melta guns to be mounted in a Rhino-back and am planning on the other 10 man squad kitted out with the additional CCWs, 2 flamers and a drop pod. This will give me 3x 10 man squads all with drop pods and with 2 of each special weapon. The bolter squads will then have Rhino-backs to get them where they need to go / hold back-field objectives.

My 2nd Long Fang Squad is prepped to go to my painter, armed with 2x Heavy Bolters and 2x Plasma Cannons to give me an anti-personnel option. Their Rhino-back will be armed with a TL-HB.

I'm currently building the 10 man bolter GH squad and giving them a covert, sniper feel. These guys will also have a Rhino-back and I'm thinking a TL-LC for these to give them heavy firepower help. I'll post pics of the conversions as soon as my phone is charged.

I'm also going to send up a Land Raider, a Land Raider Crusader and a Contemptor Dreadnought (Chainfist and multi-melta to be podded in).

I'm also using some spares to build a small squad of Wolf Guard in PA. All will be armed with Storm shields and a variety of melee weapons.

Hope you like the results!

EDIT - PICS

Sniper Wolf 1

Sniper Wolf 2

Deathwatch Wolf

I'm thinking I may add a silencer to his bolter as well. Fluff-wise, I'm thinking he should really be a lone wolf...got sent off to the deathwatch after his squad were killed off by filthy xenos etc etc etc, but I also like the idea of him coming back to his pack, still in black armour and being flung straight into glorious battle....I can't decide which!

Sniper Team Pack Leader:

This inspiration for this guy came from this pic - hope you think I've done a worthy job representing him!

Hi all.

Well, I have some more reinforcements for you! In my last few games, my TWC have been a bit vulnerable....so I have decided to boost them with some ablative wounds in the form on Fenrisian Wolves. I, like a lot of you guys, have decided to pay less £££ for twice as many wolves so went for the Chaos Warhounds...

gallery_71376_10305_94609.jpg

My Iron Priest on TWM also wanted his very own puppy, so I got him this guy:

gallery_71376_10305_104070.jpg

I've also got myself another drop pod which takes my total of painted pods up to 4. This one and the other with the silvery fins are for Dreadnoughts and the troop transports have the pack markings on the fins.

Finally, although not initially intended for the Wolves, I have a Fire Raptor. This guy was initially going to be for the Dark Angels hence the black paint job....but.... to my mind, it is a venerable relic of the Fang! It has flown to orbit and re-entered the atmosphere of many a world so the paint has a permanent scorched appearance.

So, there we have it. This was going to be the end of my Space Wolf army. But, it has somehow managed to get even bigger. I now have my eyes set on a Great Company. So, I have a number of units that will be getting painted up over the next few months...

10-man Grey Hunter squad (2x Melta & bolt guns - the sniper squad I have hinted at above) with a twin-linked lascannon 'Rhino-back'

5-man Long Fang squad (2x HB, 2x PC) with a twin-linked heavy-bolter 'Rhino-Back'

10-man Grey Hunter squad (2x flamer, bolt guns & CCWs) to go in a pod (I know GHs should use their better BS to go with melta / plasma, but I want the options without magnets)

Contemptor Dreadnought (with multi-melta & DCCW)

10 Sniper Scouts

5 'Skirmisher' Scouts

Land Raider

Land Raider Crusader

Imperial Knight (Painted up and played as Gerantius)

15 Blood Claws (to go in the Land Raider

5 Skyclaws

5 Wolf Guard in PA all with storm shields and then 1 each of: Wolf Claw, Axe, Chainsword, Hammer, Powersword, Mace)

Anything else I should take to make up Krom's Great Compmany?

Thanks, Lord Ragnarok

 

I'll be sending my next batch up for painting in the next few weeks as soon as I get chance to build 10-20 scouts and 10 more Grey Hunters.

 

I'm also going to be sending some allies to be painted.  I can't decide between which I will be sending first.

 

The choice is:

Blood Angels

Death storm box, 10 extra death company, 2 extra dreadnoughts and the terminators from Space Hulk

OR

Deathwatch (played as Codex:Space Marines, Crimson Fists)

Librarian, Tactical Squad, Rhino, Dreadnought and 3x Grav Centurions

 

I think the gravs will play really reall with the libby in a SW FA pod, but the thought of a Deathcompany Dreadnought podding down next to murderfang gives me goosebumps!

 

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the positive comments guys - appreciate it!

 

I've just finished off boxing up my next delivery to the paint man.  It's a BIG box, but I haven't got as much in it as I'd hoped...

 

There'll be a few kennels for the wolves (Imperial Defence Line, Imperial Bunker, Firestorm Redoubt, Aquila Strongpoint) and the minis that need the shoulder pads repainted are being sent up too along with an Imperial Knight.

 

Wolves-wise, there is a Grey Hunter squad (the sniper guys) with their Rhino-back (TL-LC) and a 5-man Long Fang squad (2x HB, 2x PC) with their Rhino-back (TL-HB).  There is also a Land Raider Crusader and a Land Raider to give me a bit of heavy transport / firepower.  

 

Oh, and just to give me a break, I've sent the Blood Angel half of Deathstorm to him as well.  I really want to try popping Murderfang and Cassor the Damned in a couple of pods and dropping them behind the enemy lines together.....could be interesting!

Who's doing your painting, marv?

There's a guy I found via ebay.  He was selling painted resin bases and I messaged him....one thing led to another and we started talking about his commission service.  It was last summer when I was recovering from a leg op and the pain meds gave me a serious case of 'hand-wobble' so he started it off for me.  I want to keep everything uniform, so he is finishing it off too!

 

I'll PM you details - don't want to mods to delete the thread for advertising! ;-)

Endorsing a commission artist isn't the same as advertising; feel free to let us know who painted your army for you.

The chap is called Tony Smallwood. He works up in Newcastle and is reliable as well as producing the quality you see here . He has a new Facebook page called 'TSGaming' but it doesn't have a huge lot of content yet....only just started

Cheers, Lord Ragnarok...but truth be told, I need to get mine finished!  I'll be posting 2 Land Raiders, 2 Rhino-backs, 5 Long Fangs and 10 Grey Hunters tomorrow....then in a few months I'll get some grey hunters, 15 more blood claws, some PAWG and the scouts sent which will finish it off*

 

 

 

*until I get a Fellblade etc etc etc .... you guys know what it's like!

Hi all, 

 

I received my Grey Hunters squad and Long Fang Ancient in the post today - they had their shoulder pads corrected and look all nice and uniform now!

 

I also got a few Blood Angels (the deathstorm box and a sanguinary priest)...but worry not!  I'll be back to the way of the Fang when I receive some more Long Fangs, a Rhino-back and a Land Raider for the wolves!

 

I'll get some pics up later when the sun isn't killing the light!
