mercbat Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 A thread of WIP, motivation and some ale-based boasting My 1000 pts army I'm working on: RP on bike, still unnamed for no significant deeds Ancient Alf "Green-blood soiled" (For wrecking a battlewagon and tearing 'ardarmored Nobs mob for pieces) Bradie Ainarsbrodir - Jarl's brother and first wolf guard, called "Big Sack" for magnetized 5 variants of wargear, with his WGTDA battle-brothers The core of the company - Grey Hunters Packs "Kveinid' - Howl And "Gnistrad" - Tooth Shriek TWC - Vang's Silvereyed pack called "Bloody Brooms" for effective horde wiping. And the whole pack on the hunt. Great thanks to all Aett-brothers for inspiration and ideas.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Dark grey Space Wolves look so much more badass than light blue ones. Great job.

mercbat Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm not normally a fan of dary grey but these look amazing! What's the plan moving forward? Converting storm bolters on WGTDA to combi-"magnit everything", due to meganobs of my opponent on the horizont, and then building full-kit (PA, TDA, TWC) of Wolf Lord Ainar Adalson. Hope the wolf-style Cerastus-knight Castigator would follow.

BlodVargarna Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I love the look of these models and together the unit looks great. What was your color combination? I'm getting ready to paint up my SW and while I do like the blue/grey look, your dark grey look is totally cool. I want to do a couple of tests and see which I prefer before I paint up the whole force.

Color scheme: Armour : Adeptus Battlegrey -> Devlan Mud -> restore AB everywhere except recceses -> edge highlight with Codex grey (Astronomicon Grey also looks fine but too light for me) Accessories : Chainmail -> Badab Black -> slightly drybrush Chainmail back Gunmetal: Boltgun -> Gryphonne Sepia all surface wash Feel free to ask if something else is interesting.

Quixus Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Those are some beautiful wolves. I like the darkish grey much better than the typical baby blue. How did you do the snow on the bases and the vehicles?

mercbat Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Those are some beautiful wolves. I like the darkish grey much better than the typical baby blue. How did you do the snow on the bases and the vehicles? PVA Glue, Soda. Apply glue with suitable brush, then apply small portions of soda over it. Couple experiments with amounts of both and you'll succeed =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304202-ainar-adalsons-sesc-company-some-large-pics/#findComment-3968188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just a warning about soda..it doesn't last and can ruin minis from what I have researched. A tub of snow flock is about a tenner and will last a whole army easily!

Rift Blade Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Gotta echo everyone on the look of your army. They look awesome alone as well as together. The light use of snow really sets them apart in my opinion. Really well done. Welcome to the Fang & looking forward to seeing more.

Fangbanger Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think for the price of snow flock, it's not worth the risk, just my 2 cents though. Defo stealing your idea if having snow settle on vehicles though!

Defo stealing your idea if having snow settle on vehicles though! I just haven't seen good snow flock may be. Citadel and others I've saw are not a snow for me, they were just white static grass. So I've tried "the old scale-modelling way" :) Edited March 5, 2015 by mercbat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304202-ainar-adalsons-sesc-company-some-large-pics/#findComment-3968822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercbat Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 As I promised - The saga of bravery, ferocity and misfortune I might be misusing some rules and terms, but it's my third 7th edition game and seventh game at all. SW vs Orks 1000pts Eternal war; Emperor's will - Hammer of Anvil SW: RP on Bike WGTDA - 4 C-plasma, 3 SS, HF, PF, FrostSword Dreadnought - AC, GC w\SB GHx6 (ccw\plasma) on Razor TLHB GHx6 (ccw\plasma) on Razor TLLC TWC - 3 SS, PS, TH, Chainsword Orks Megaboss + meganobz х 4 + painboy in battlewagon Nobz х 5 (2 combi-scorcha + 3 Bigchoppa) 'Ardboyz (11+Nob w/PK) in trukk Boyz (21+Nob w/PK) Killa-kan x 2 Orks had first turn Turn1 Orks - Greenskin's rusty wheeled piles of metal advances on full speed, rest of the horde, screaming worse than Eldar banshee, rushed in our direction Wagon and truck made more than half of the field in one turn, SW - First losses, plasma brother from Kveinid pack dissapears in a sunbright explosion of his weapon. Warp resists the will of our priest so he failed the spell, but his TL-bolter with help of Plasmagun from pack Gnistrad and Ancient Alf's AC - explodes the Trukk, killing 2 'Ardboyz Turn 2 Orks - Megaboss with retinue disembarks from wagon, charges, suffer 1 wound from Overwatch and destroys the TLHB Razorback. 'Ardboyz charges into Ancient Alf, losing 2 in combat, but Nob made mighty blow with his Klaw taking out 1HP from dreadnought Rest of green gang is slogging. SW - Seeing this huge insanely armored figures Bradie "Big Sack" commands his TDAWG to teleport on the battlefield. Iron priests were blessed by the Allfather and there was no scatter or other teleport-failures. Massive bolter fire and crack grenade takes 1 wound from meganobz, TLLC instakills one more of the pack. Than mighty wolf guards showed their stunning skills and expirience: combi-plasma rapid fire burns away Megaboss and his closest bodyguard despite of their size and toughness. Sadly wyrd also wasn't kind to plasma brother from Gnistrad pack and he also died through his weapon explosion. Meanwhile mighty Alv killed 2 more of the 'Ardboyz, and evaded all blows of PowerKlaw. Scared with their complete inability even scratch him - 'ardboyz tried to flee, but Ancient's sweeping advance buried their hopes along with themselves. Near him "Bloody brooms" (TWC) charges big green blob killing 6 and losing 2 wounds Turn 3 Orks - Remains of meganobz pack charges into TDAWG, Painboy suddenly kills all 3 of C-pl\SS brothers. Angried by this - HF\PF brother wipes them from the battlefield with his mighty counter-attacking powerfist. TWC suffers 1 more wound and kills Nob with 4 boys in a row. Shoota nobz and Killakans - keep going. After his sub-turn My opponent closely examined the table and conceded defeat. I took Firstblood and Slay the Warlord, he made Linebreaker. Main objectives were uncontrolled by both.

Argyle Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) They do look really good! Those runes really pop on a darker grey. More so on a well painted darker grey, props! Another thread for me to follow. As for the soda and glue... I've read the same thing that it can yellow over time and look terrible after, but I've also read arguments stating thats not true.... No personal experience on the matter. What I do have experience with, and love, is secretweaponminiatures crushed glass and realistic water. Your method already looks great, only offer this up if you get worried about its effect down the road. The crushed glass/water effect gives a slightly slushier, somewhat melting look to the snow... but lets remember the heat of a war is likely happening around these minis.

mercbat Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 @Argyle This week I had a talk with some historical modellists, and they've said that it's really depends on glue quality - it must not be frozen below 5°C, and despite of quality adding 1/10-1/8 of white paint in glue would solve problem totally.
