SW1 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well I've finally got all the first vow assembled and mounted onto push pins or whatever they're called. I've collected a stupid number of empty paint pots I just need to fill them with stones or some other heavy stuff. And then hot glue gun them to the bottom of the push pins. I've also attached Logan's pelt to his back. I offered it up to make sure it all lined up for post painting assembly and wasn't happy with how it would look so it's now pinned, glued and gs'd in place. Next up is casting enough bases to mount this lot up on. This is the first ETL I'm actually sort of organised for and it's quite refreshing not to be rushing around.

codyrstuart Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Do those drills just magically grow legs and walk off? Mine went missing as well a couple weeks ago.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 So has mine!! I recently moved so there is that. But still I swear I packed it away with all of my other hobby tools... Guess I'll hit the hobby shop up for a new one... I am also well prepared for this years event. Models all built, basing done, and I am currently working on priming it all up.

SW1 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well yesterday I managed to drill the barrels out on 50+ bolters and 70+ bolt pistols. With the models I've already built plus these I will not have to prep any more basic bolt weapons. Next up is 100+ chainswords and as many chain axes as possible. I've also found a load of chaos chainswords. So I'm looking to incorporate as many of these as possible as well with some of the details removed.

SW1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Grrrr ... I've just realised that I'm working full days on the 15th and 16th, so only going to have lunch break each day to paint. The 17th will be better as I've got the morning off. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4390574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I am working full days from now until the 30th :( Hoping I do no get a room-mate, so I can paint in the evenings.

SW1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 That sucks. Well on a brighter note I've got hold of some airbrush thinner and some airbrush greys. I chose 3 that are meant to be a nice progression and they're almost te same colour. The swatches indicated a much wider variance in colour than the blobs I put on a paper had. If I use them in the right order though I won't need to mix any custom colours. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4390992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Happy days for you, looking forward to seeing how the paints work out, are you using P3, Minitaire or Vallejo?

SW1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Vallejo as the store I can get to stocks them. I also noticed B@C with a 15% discount which I had to resist. Good job it wasn't next week when I went or I may have impulse bought as it's payday soon. :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4391007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've got ... 71.050 light grey 71.047 grey 71.048 engine grey 71.052 german grey The german grey is that dark that I doubt it will show up a black wash that well. Will have to see what happens when they get applied to the models.

Dantay VI Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I just stick to GW because I can get to them from the sho or order them n to the shop for free. If I want vallejo, I need to order online, & unless it is a substantial order, any savings are lost in the postage costs. I d however look forward to seeing your greys. German grey is ideal for Wolf Priests. Use it and then the other greys to highlight, then a black wash and you have black armour with nice grey highlights. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4391029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm going to try a technique I worked out for doing Iron Hands. Black with a few dark grey to meduim grey drybrushes and then hit with multiple black washes. I wouldn't normally drybrush but after 3 or 4 black washes you won't be able to tell that the blacks been drybrushed. ;) The multiple washes is the killer though as they take a while to dry though after the 2nd or 3rd wash you can pick out the metallics and then wash them at the same time as the final wash.

Dantay VI Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Try using drakenhof nightshade, it'll give it a hint of blue, but it is darned close to black as well.

codyrstuart Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hmmm ... And a dark green wash for Cypher!!! :tu: I was thinking the same thing. Black with white or grey dry brush highlights and wash green.

SW1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 GWS are e-mailing me the assembly instructions for the B@C kit as I've managed to loose both sets of instructions. So I'll be able to crack on with assembly shortly. At this rate the army will be more akin to a Legion Force than a GC. ;) :devil: Hmmm ... Multiples of 10 bolters equated to Legion Tac Squads, 5 plasma guns equate to a Legion Tac Support Squad, 5 heavy weapons equate to a Heavy Support Squad.

Dantay VI Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You can go up to 10 for both support and heavy support squads :D 10 for veteran squads and 20 for tacticals, breachers and assault squads. But I'd keep them at 10's & 5's for now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4391399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 If I just happen to end up with 30k valid units at te end of this then I will be very happy. :p And those BC's can be assault squads!!!

Dantay VI Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 No, Sky claws would be assault squads, Blood Claws would be despoilers ;) I am looking forward to September/ October, as that is when Wolves and HH book 7 will land (allegedly) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319227-sw1s-wolves/page/7/#findComment-4391492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Yeah ... I'm trying to choose a single generic pad marking for the different unit types and avoid specific pack markings. This will allow free movement of models between 30k and 40k.

Dantay VI Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am going with a plain pad colour for now till Inferno hits. Dark yellow/light brown for the Claws, red for hunters, black for Wolf Guard, white for Long Fangs and grey for scouts. Going to use a rune to distinguish between packs, if I get that far with my painting. It will not win me the artificer award, but it'll be simple to paint over when the right schemes are released.

SW1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Well I've got all the wolf priests mounted on paint pots. Now working through the other models this is actually taking a lot longer than I thought it would do.

Dantay VI Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 One little query. Is Lukas an Independent Character? I haven't really looked at the codex, but I thought he was outside of the FOC d you got him if you included a unit of claws. Would that not mean he is only legal in a SW army if you had a claws unit, ergo you would need to paint a Blood Claws pack o be allowed to paint Lukas?
