A small update... I'm planning on running a small unit of wolf guard bikers with a Rune priest or 2...

Best part about this project is converting this bike from those dress wearing traitors bike/kit.  The bikes are just so much nicer than the old kits so i picked a box up to kit bash and use take parts from.  

Great work on the bikes and the priest, as always!  The glowing eyes are a nice tough and well done. The only dislike is the axehead feels a bit underwhelming in contrast to how amazing the rest of the model looks. Always looking forward to more.

Great stuff in here, Theduke08!! I really like the yellow jags on the bike fenders, and the Blackmane pauldrons are looking really sharp.

Nicely done!!

 

I also agree that the Rune Priests axe seems a little lost in all of the surrounding colors. The blue blade on the other hand looks like it's glowing!! Care to share the technique??

 

End of Line

The axe was the last thing that i finished and i really wasnt sure if I wanted it to be the focal point of the model... So I kind of toned it down and used some glazes to dull down the colors.  I really dont want to use and gold or silver on my wolves im planning on sticking to brass/bronze for my metallics.  I agree that the only thing that im not truly happy with is the axe.

 

@Rune_Priest_Rhapsody for the blade I started with a blue, glazed it with guilliman blue then dry brushed it with the starting color and progressively added a little white.  Nothing too fancy but it does give it just a little bit of a glow.

 

Up next is a couple wolf guard bikers.

I think your models look fantastic. How did you do the pack markings so precise on the Long Fang pack?

I typically paint the pads the primary color first.  Then i tape off the markings and depending on the size ill either paint them by hand or spray them with an airbrush...  It really depends on the size.  I did use an airbrush on the long fangs pack markings.  They were kind of a pain because they were at weird angles being attached to some of the heavy weapons.

These are some gorgeous models, theduke08. Your work is outstanding!

 

I love the old school, blond Ragnar. It's always been a pet peeve of mine that his Blackmane name has been changed to mean his hair, and not the rare and powerful wolf he killed on his journey back to the Fang.

 

The battle damage looks amazing, too, and I can't wait to see more of your work!

Im finishing up my second pack of grey hunters and making a dent into my wolf guard bikers... Im thinking for my next project im going to start some thunderwolves... 

 

Im debating them with all SS and PF.  

 

Its a little expensive but will destroy anything it hits. 

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the kind words Wraithwing. 

 

I should have about 4-5 more bikers in the next couple weeks.  Not sure how many im going to end with or how im going to kit them out but im having fun with them.

 

I still have no clue how im going to run my wolves...  Still might be looking at a CAD...  maybe one of the new Cotw formations...  Just not sure.

With so many bikes, why don't you have a look at the Firehowlers Legendary Greatpack?

 

Lot's of options for bikes in there. 

I really dont plan on having more than one unit of bikers... Just a wolf guard unit between 5-7 bikes.  I plan on running them as a trouble shooting unit thats hard to shift.  Basically taking out stragglers and small units in cover.  

Ive got 2 more TWC models with power fists and storm shields in the works.  Planning on running the three as my "bullet" unit.  Basically point it at whatever needs to die and try to get it there as quick as possible.  I might run my HQ on tw with them but im not sure it will be necessary.
