Looks awesome!

Where is the head from if you dont mind me asking?

[Ganders]

Thanks. It was in my head bits box but I'm pretty sure its from the forge world death guard heads set.

Here are some of my personal BaC space wolf conversions, with one of my brother's word bearer's conversions thrown in (he's rather too busy to join) note: all WiP

Excellent! Can't wait to see him painted.

[Quixus]

A praetor without some kind of power weapon seems weird. Otherwise he looks great already, but with paint he would be even better.

Lokens Chainsword is a Paragon Blade. Who's to say this one isnt ~_~?

[Thudslugx]

Yes it should be a Paragon Blade.

Here a W.I.P Picture of one of my Contemptors.

Very nice, where are the chains from? Think I need to bling up mine now.

Chaos Rhino kit, if I'm not deluded

Yes it's the chaos rhino /Land raider Upgrade Kit. :)

Just starting with 30k and have finally bought the Betrayal at Calth set. Pretty much decided on the two legions I'm going to start with however have a few questions on the models in particular the legion upgrade kits. Looking at doing Death Guard and Fists and was going to get some of the legion upgrade kits (Torsos mainly and helmets)however wasn't sure if they'd work with the MKIV armour in the set.

 

Was also wondering if these are normally used for Vets or Artificer Armour. Once I get hold of the books and figures will have an idea what changes can do and will try and get something posted.

 

Cheers

The Legion upgrade kits are indeed fully compatible with the MKIV plastics from Betrayal at Calth. How you choose to distribute them is up to you; I've seen some use them purely for Veterans and others just to add a bit of visual variety to normal squads.

I managed to paint at least one mini this week. It's a Terran born Legion Tactical Sergeant named Orson Valaris. I need to add some finishing touches to clean up the eyes a bit, though.

[Marqol]

This is probably going to sound a bit odd when there is a model to talk about, like the model is really nice, the pose is awesome, it's a good mix of parts. But that grass its amazing. How it sticks up and actually looks  like he is on a grass plain rather than just flock flat on the base. 

[Ursa Doom]

@Marqol

I usualy get that result by blowing on it before the watered out PVA glue dries, that also helps to get rid of excess flock that would just fall off anyway, and after it had dries I might gently give it a brush with my drybrush.

[Marqol]

Thanks for that! I have a few armies that are going to be grassed, I will try that to get better results.

[Ursa Doom]

@Marqol

No problem. Just don't blow on it too hard or the wet flock might get ripped off and land on the minis surface or somewhere else where you wouldn't want it.

[Ursa Doom]

There, I cleaned up the eyes a bit.

[Reyner]

That grey is really nice.

[Arthanor]

There, I cleaned up the eyes a bit.

Nice model! And nice not too crazy wolf! Although I dislike them in 40k, I think I might like 'em in 30k..!

 

Back on the eyes, what about some brighter yellow to make them pop more and make them look like they are a light source?

Thanks! I might do that later, but then I will tidy up all the eyes of the Space Marines.

[Dantay VI]

Nice looking Wolves Ursa!

 

The yellow eyes are unique, but I like them. Matches the description in Prospero Burns of the Wolves having gold pinned eyes!

I prefer to do my Wolves eye lenses green because I imagine that is the colour that their vision works in at night :D

 

Please though, do not do glowy lenses.. maybe a dark area and a dab of white in the corner and go for a jeweled effect.

Thanks! Don't worry I wont be doing glowing lenses since I think it would stand out too much with my colour scheme. I should highlight them a bit, though. Although, my Contemptor Dreadnought kinda ended up with brighter eyes than the Space Marines, but it's also more machine than man anyway.
