Bladewolf and the Horus Heresy

[Dantay VI]

Ouch for the Spartan.. If that is a picture post droppage, then you did a real good job patching it up/

 

When mine took a trip south it was the tracks which suffered badly, tried fixing them but some were too busted, so in fluff terms it is battle damage, now with the gaps in the tracks it is a marker to its foes as to which tank has passed by and who they should beware of.

 

Cant rememeber if it was here or elsewhere you were asking about close combat arms, but have you considered using destroyers, maybe jump pack ones?

 

They come with bolt pistols in both hands, so you can use whichever arm you need for CC specialist, plus the reinforced armour makes for cool looking assault troops or breachers. Plus the rad grenade launcher would look pretty sweet as a suspensor webbed missile launcher :)

 

The helms ar epretty close t Phalanx warder style helms too so you could mix them into your IF pretty easily.

 

I have used the destroyers in my breachers and in my assault squads, and I think they look pretty good

Even for a member of the VIth legion, his name was only spoken in hushed whispers. Day and night he toiled in the forges, perfecting the legions weapons of war - honing every axe edge and bolt round into a manifestation of the Wolf King's might. When he wasn't there, he toiled across the stars, bringing his vengeance to Xenos & Traitor alike. None could stay his edged weapons and those Vlka Fenryka lucky enough to wield one of his masterworks prized their killing ability like no other.

 

None knew the Techmarine's true name - he was known only as... The Bladewolf.

I wanna watch that series. It sounds a lot like an intro statement for one of my 80s TV shows.

Go bladewolf, go bladewolf!! Dang bro you're flying through yer basecoats!!!

Sorry to hear about your Spartan and I'm glad to see it back together again:)

Just realized this is your 3rd legion

[Lord Blackwood]

It's just 3 legions and a knight house it's no big deal D:

[Jackalwolf]

pretty and scary!

[Lord Blackwood]

SURPRISE PRAETOR  
This one is a cousin to the one that WLK  made , the idea is effectively stolen.

 



Oh and here is Dantay Threadbinder  Speaker of the Dead 
Hes got a dagger on his back  to serve as the fang of Morkai Reductor , I just didint snap a picture of it. 




And Obviously my Pack Leaders are finished 

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

I like yours better.

 

Far more pimp.

[Dantay VI]

Loving the Speaker of the Dead :tu:

[Lord Blackwood]

Loving the Speaker of the Dead

Dantay called Threadbinder was pulled from  the Ice as a youth and raised to the legion in one of the first harvests from fenris. 

How exactly he came to become a member of the Priesthood is unknown , though his deed name Threadbinder comes from the time spent during the Xenocides where he was said to have served with great distinction , stopping the fraying of threads of many of his brothers and keeping them alive.  It is a deed name he finds somewhat distasteful considering how many of his kinsmen died. 

 

Armed with the Great Frost blade Wyrdfang  mostly done , need to do the eyes and some details here and there.

 

Oh  and I didint forget his Fang of Morkai Reductor ,hes got one. 

 

Some other progress today 

 

I also got some more work done on the Praetor

I love everything about that post.

[Lord Blackwood]

[Charlo]

Bruh, you smash these out so quick :P

 

I'm taking a leaf out of your book with my Ad Mech... Base coats and maximum nuln washes for the win.

[Lord Blackwood]

I'm taking a leaf out of your book with my Ad Mech... Base coats and maximum nuln washes for the win.

Something ive found that helps is to base with a layer color , over a strong undercoat , the reason I go with so many washes is because i like to stain my layer color into something its not , in the case of my Templars/ Imperial fists its getting a grey down to a black , in the case of my wolves its trying to get a blue grey closer to a storm grey 

 

Of course a better painter will do a better job than me , and take the time to go back and highlight certain things and such.  

 

Kinda hard to get to that when you work as many hours as I have been XP 

[Charlo]

Yeah man, I like the technique - I don't have too much paint time either so it works wonders for me too, though I've been using base colours for a really dark outcome.

 

Good tip on bringing colours down though, I might try it that way on my next batch.

[Lord Blackwood]

I didint get a lot done before work 

I did a little bit of Red Work on the Spartan  I  also worked on the terminators armor to bring it down to that new color I am liking 
Tomorrow I do have a day off from work , so I  will be able to get a bit of painting done hopefully.

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

Flipping fantastic brother!

[Jackalwolf]

That looks so dope!!!

[Lord Blackwood]

So got a good bit done today. 

Completely finished the second veteran Squad ! 
I also ordered a moritat the volkite one , so i can swap his head with the wolf helm I use for all my consuls ,
Im not sure the best way to run him since they are kinda naff , but I might have to cut off his one hand and swap it with a plasma pistol , not sure. 
I plan on painting him in the same legion colors as everyone else , will probably go with a black helm for him due to the sort of consul he is. 

The next Scion of House blackwood ( my last Cerastus pattern knightt is assembled and primed. ) 

Still a lot tto work on , but I  feel like today was productive and I might actually have tomorrow off as well. 

[Othniel's Blade]

I think your basing cost more than my entire army. That's such a sick pose though.

[depthcharge12]

I love those tacticals! Really gives an identity to each warrior...the individualism of the SWs can be seen in them.

[Lord Blackwood]

last squad of veteransand my spartan are indeed finished
