Far from Fenris - Ranulfs Wolves

[ranulf the revenant]

Random intercessor coming through, I just had him built and primed on my desk, and wanted to finish him. But he's a solid example of my current method for SW power armour. I also think I will use more red on shoulder pauldrons going forward, it's just a nice combo with blueish grey, I think...

Love the old school mark 6 backpack from way-back-when.

 

Blue and red are complimentary colours, so work well together,so I agree about the shoulder pad.

 

The bolter casing is an unusual colour choice (most folks do them black or red) but the colour looks good too.

 

Nice job :tu:

[ranulf the revenant]

Haha, yeah, I think I found that backpack deep in the bits box of my local gaming store Edited April 28, 2022 by ranulf the revenant

This Wulfen proxy loves the outdoors and acrobatics.

Greetings Wolfbrothers!  I'm back... I kind of lost access to my account after the renewal of the forum, when I had other stuff to do... but after just typing in a secondary mail adress which I didn't even remember using... all of a sudden logging in worked :D!
So I guess I'll update a bit in the coming weeks.The Redemptor has been finished for months now, for example. There are also some Incursors. And Assault Intercessors. Happy to be back on this great forum, see you soon!

Welcome back! 

[Torin]

welcome back ranulf.

 

What the latest progress on your army.. love the work you have done. By the way where did you get those shields from. Very nice. Keep us updated.

 

cheers,

Torin

Oh, thanks a lot. I have some things painted up which I just didn't mange to take proper pictures of so far. There's a Redemptor Dreadnought, Incursors, and some Assault Intercessors. Maybe I'll have to borrow my brothers phone for that :D. I made some pictures with what I got, but they just don't really represent the look of the models, the resolution is too low...

The shields on the Bladeguard are mostly from Puppetswar, if those are the ones you meant...

Some of my recently finished Assault Intercessors/ 'Big Claws'...

 

[Bryan Blaire]

Those are fantastic looking, Ranulf, great work!  I really like the basing you have on them too, those are killer.

 

Are those shoulder plates conversions, 3D printed, stock from somewhere?  I don’t recognize them but they look really nice!

 

I like the last of the Big Claws - he looks like he’s leaning forward and finishing off some lesser mortal foe.

[ranulf the revenant]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad people like them : ). The pads with the teeth and stuff are from spellcrow, the plain ones should be from mastercrafted miniatures.

Another one of those guys... He points at some ugly heretic and is very disgusted 

[Kassill]

They look ready to get into the assault doctrine. Keep up the good work 

[ranulf the revenant]

Unfortunately, I  almost always forget about the doctrines -__- ...

Tell me about it haha. I played my first game in a few weeks last night and forgot a lot of things. Barely scraped out a 70-65 win.

As he should be!

Hey, y'all, no pics today but I thought I'd give a little rambling update... I started base coating 4 skyclaws yesterday, after finishing some Warcry stuff... Felt great to return to my true hobby love,  starting a paint job with a mostly neutral grey base coat on armour just seems like coming home to me at this point,lol. There are about 10 skyclaws waiting if I remember correctly, most of them kitbashed from the MK VI marine kit, plus some wolfguard with Jump packs, which are made from Reiver bodies. The Wolf Guard are all equipped with storm shields, and most of them are weilding great axes, which are supposed to represent lightning claws. I think both squads come out nicely, even though some of the Wolf Guard ended up looking a bit static, but that's how it goes sometimes. I'm looking forward to deploy them at some point, I always liked the idea of deepstriking highly mobile melee units.

Also, I recently looked at the new Eightbound models and thought that they would make a great base for a Wulfen conversion? I actually already have some Wulfen proxies, but I'm not super happy with every result... It's also a bit funny that Khorne is actually one of my least favourite factions in 40K, but I still keep buying (or am interested in buying) Khorne models for conversion purposes :D If only the Eightbound weren't so damn expensive, money wise... >____>. 

 

Well, that's it for now, I'll probably post pics of some of those jump troops soon. Hope you're all doing well and skål! :)

So, I finished four Skyclaws. Managed to drop one just before the photoshoot, so he misses from the pictures :D. And I kind of by accident also finished my new version of Björn. My ancient metal version just didn't want to stick together, so new plastic one it is... I'll probably turn the old one into a "statue", just as I did with old Ragnar, so he will still have some use... Feels good to have some SWs finished, it's been a while, like I said. They just need a quick spray with old varnish can now...
So here they are...

Skyclaw 1: 

 

Skyclaw Packleader (probably)
 

 

Another one:

...finally, some pics of Björn....

That's all for now, thanks for looking :)

Finished this (count-as) Wolfguard with jump pack. He originally had an axe, which snapped off and I ended up replacing it with a Grey Knight falchion. So now he kind of looks like a medieval knight. Or Landsknecht, even? I don't know...

I did some touch ups on Ragnar...

 

 

 

 

 

Well, shoot, looking at it like this,  I should probably work a bit more on his fabulous hair :D

Very good work! Really captures the Space Wolves thematic look. 

[ranulf the revenant]

Thanks, that's certainly what I'm trying to achieve : ) .

[ranulf the revenant]

 

Hey y'all, a quick update. I just wanted to show this guy that I just primed, and ramble a bit : ). The model is a lieutenant, the neovolkite-pistol version. The body is from Kromlech, head from Liber Daemonica. Looking forward to painting him soon, I think the parts went together nicely on him. 

 

I have recently joined a Kill Team campaign at my local club and had a lot of fun running an Intercession Team of Wolves. Maybe I'll do a little write-up when we're finished. Didn't really play that much 40K this spring (if any), but will probably get back into it with 10th edition. Will have to do some rules reading first though. So long, thanks for reading!
