codyrstuart Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah, BFTBG is on my list of paints to buy, along with Retributor Gold. Just need to quit being lazy/cheap and go buy it. I started on the banner for the exchange in the Space Wolves forum. Also my first attempt at freehanding the Space Wolves symbol, the Wolf that stalks the stars. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161114_210431_zpsivcz941s.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4562263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 So, back with more photos! First, a better group shot of my November vow. The Headsman, Lone Wolf of the Bloodmaws, and his two companions. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161123_162441_zpsda2hkauh.jpg Next, work on the remainder of my October vow, Bran's Wolf Guard. The leader is almost done minus weathering. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161123_161751_zpsq0lisci8.jpg And everyone else is still looking for love and attention. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161123_161902_zps6gmhfwzp.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161123_162016_zpsoussvtpq.jpg And now a little teaser on my Standard Bearer. Threw a filter on it to hide his final look a little bit. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161123_161833_zpsoo3scs3e.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4571943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

codyrstuart Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Howdy everyone! After a couple weeks playing army, I have some goodies to show. Mainly standard bearers. First, my standard bearer for the Space Wolves forum's exchange. This dude ended up finding his way to user Gemini's doorstep. I was so proud of this guy, especially the banner, that it was hard letting him go. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161119_203224_zps9kuid23x.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161119_203231_zpsjvfr465k.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161119_203307_zpsdr0wnww8.jpg Next, is the one I received from user Vykryl. I absolutely love this model. Vykryl outdid himself with this one. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161214_060937_zps89rmm7ha.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161214_060946_zpsmtnr6sjj.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161214_060953_zpsfwtkfrid.jpg My next project is a pain know of Swiftclaws with their Pack Leader for the Tale of 20 Legions. I fixed the base coat, but that's about as far as I got. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161202_143027_zpslkvmthkg.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4593185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Progress to show today. Slowly but surely. Slowly but surely. Pack markings are done. May go back and redo the pack leaders at a later point. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161227_221059_zpswpclh6li.jpg They're currently a little further along. Bases have been painted grey, details have been painted, and touch ups have began. Left to do is silver and grey touch ups, washes and weathering, then drybrushing hair and bases. Also did a face tattoo for the pack leader. Kinda random, but it went on smooth, so I didn't fight it. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161227_221718_zpspcqk9tmg.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4606206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 And with just minutes to go in December, I completed my Swiftclaws vowed for the month. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233349_zpsdp1gvig0.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233219_zpspre8prpb.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233124_zpso1j0qzk4.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233142_zpsw00skpix.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233114_zpsngzmqx5f.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20161231_233134_zps3fr1hdxh.jpg While these guys were fun to paint, I also don't want to see another bike on my desk any time soon. Now to take a couple days to finally finish my knight, and work on some bugs I got on the cheap, then figure out my next vow.

codyrstuart Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 So, tonight saw the "arming" of Nobilis, my first Imperial Knight. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170101_203022_zpsp073pxcs.jpg I finally broke down and finished the magnetization of the weapon points, and most of the weapon options. The launcher and gauntlet were the only additional weapons I've worked on at the moment. The gatling cannon and Icarus autocannon will be magnetized when the other one is built. The magnetizing wasn't as painful as I thought, but it was tedious. I may do a tutorial of how I did it when I build the next one if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking. Edit: pics showing the options. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170101_204819_zpssiaeijlz.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170101_205127_zps5se4xyvo.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4609076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Wow... it's been a little bit since my last post. I guess 3 jobs, a family, and a new little side project with teeth and claws will do that. But, I am back, and hope to post more regularly. Should have a unit of Wolf Guard that have been waiting, oh, about 5 months to be finished done by the end of the week. Stay tuned for more, folks!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Excellent work on the Wolves. I especially like the Bike SGT's power sword or frostblade. The Knight looks ridiculously gaudy, but that's to be expected for a jousting knight when he attends a tournament.

codyrstuart Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Finally, progress to show. These guys sat half finished since December, and I'm glad to finally get them finished. Redmaw's bodyguard, I am dubbing the Hunters. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170404_210129_zpsrdxqiegu.jpg They are specialists in the use of combi-weapons, waiting for the perfect moment to deploy their overwhelming munitions. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170404_210044_zps4wriphsj.jpg Their combo weapons were made using scout bolsters, magazines from storm bolters, and various bits and pieces to help distinguish which one. Tomorrow when I have a full battery I will take some more detailed shots to show off some things I'm proud of. For a parting shot, a dramatically lit group picture with Jarl Redmaw. For Russ! http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170404_210453_zpspbpd7ixw.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4703828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

codyrstuart Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks for the replies guys. These were my first PA guys to paint in a couple months (something... something... bugs...). It was quite fun to finish them. As promised, here's close ups. Pack Leader http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204626_zpsbmdjfgry.jpg Mr. "What setting is this on?" http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204655_zpszomdajkx.jpg The stoic vet http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204613_zpsnbduxonf.jpg Mr. Photogenic http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204638_zpshl54kdfw.jpg Token Beanie http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204543_zpstai5hdb5.jpg And the newest member of the Bionic Eye Club http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204741_zpszljl4w8g.jpg Complete with possible explanation for his membership http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170405_204755_zpsv2bmxzyr.jpg Boy, close ups really bring out the mistakes, don't they...

Dantay VI Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Your pack looks pretty good, I woud put some gloss on the blood to freshen it a bit. Weathering is pretty good, they have certainly been through the wars and nicely customised combi-weapons. Also pink sword of doom rocks!!! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305064-stus-wolves-and-nids-bugs-bugs-everywhere/page/9/#findComment-4705679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Eh, the red glaze over white didnt work work this sword like it did the other. But, I'm tired of fooling with it for now. This week, I thought I would take a crack at a long fang pack. I am not overly enthused about this group, but I'm just trying to get projects off of my desk. Between the wolves and a reclamation project that isn't B&C friendly (something, something, bugs...), my desk runs out of space just as fast as I can clean it. Anyway, here's where they're at right now. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170413_214346_zpsomhzx4fb.jpg They are not the best looking. They were one of my first ever units, and first attempt at priming, so A LOT of mistakes here. I rarely find myself using long fangs anymore, so I just want to get them painted and out of the way. Does anyone else have that one unit they just can't get psyched up to paint?

codyrstuart Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Evening all. So, after slogging away on the long fangs, I got to a point to where my pride wouldn't let me go any further on them. They were horribly assembled and primed, and it showed through the layers of paint. Needless to say, they're in the soak. So in their place, I started working on the weapon choices for my knight, Nobilis. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170423_211310_zpsr79w9ouu.jpg So, what you see is probably 4 hours of work (goddamn white...). I'm really liking the progress I'm making, and hope to have everything painted and varnished by the end of the week or early next week. Hell, maybe I can get my first game with him in soon. Until next time everyone.

codyrstuart Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 More progress. All the base colors are blocked on the weapons by the timing of these photos. I also started on the gold accents. http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170425_213835_zps9fquzgfz.jpg http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah7/codyrstuart/20170425_213732_zps5sjd1x5d.jpg In a last minute change, I decided against the armor plates on the gauntlet. It just felt out of place to me. Anywho, I need some feedback on something. I was going to do the carapace mounted weapons white, until I realized how many layers I was going to need. Going form my current pallets, which color would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Dantay VI Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I woud say yellow to match the carapace, looks good so far. For white, I do a white prime spray, wash recesses with nuln oil to create shadow then tidy up with white again.

codyrstuart Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yeah, I had a brain fart when I first primed the model. Wasnt sure what color i was going to paint the missile launcher until I had finished the main body and thought ":cuss, now I gotta try to paint more white over black..." I'll give the yellow a shot, maybe with painting the ammo access hatches red?

Dantay VI Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Could do, Go with brown before doing yellow. If you have XV-88 as a base, that wiil work pretty good, plus is a nice shade for the yellow to work off of.

codyrstuart Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Don't have xv88, but I do have Rhinox, Zandri Dust, and Averland Sunset. Maybe mix a little rhinox and zandri together for a lighter brown base. Bjorn- Thanks, man! He's been waiting awhile, and I still have one more to do (bought the renegade box last June). I've also got a little surprise in the mail that I can't wait to work on, but pics will have to wait until I get home.
