Dried Posted April 3, 2024 Author Share Posted April 3, 2024 (edited) Hello everyone, Here is the Phobos Lieutenant I painted to go with my infiltrators I posted last week (don't hesitate to click on the picture if it's blury). It's obviously totally based on @Wispy's kitbash he posted a few months ago. As I said in the first post, his kitbashes were a real inspiration for me and pushed me to explore some stuff I won't have done otherwise (and maybe my SW army won't even exist yet). So hats of to him and this mini is my tribute to him. I'm not sure what to do next (I'll start a Bretonnian army I think in a few weeks) so maybe I'll won't post for a while here.

Dried Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Hello everyone, long time no see! My Bretonnian army is now quite big and I'm really proud of it (~1500 points... Painting an Old World army is not a small project), but now that we'll get new magnificent miniatures I decided to go back on my Space Wolves a little. So I kitbashed this little Iron Priest. I'm really proud of the result, I hope you like it too!

Dried Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 I used the green stuff rollers. I honestly don't think it's possible to do it by hand without a similar tool.

Dried Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 (edited) Like everyone here I received my Army Set and having a lot of fun building the new minis. Honestly i didn't saw it in gw's pictures but the jump in quality compared to the previous Space Marine I built is impressive. I magnetized my Headtakers : Spoiler I also magnetized both arms of the battle leader and tried to do a Lukas the trickster like for my blood claws (like everyone else I assume). I read the codex also and I REALLY like the Runemarked symbol. I may switch my great company for my next minis and it already fits my "red" background for my great company symbol. I made a Runemarked logo with the help of a friend : Edited June 20 by Dried Wispy and Prot 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377454-drieds-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6117311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dried Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 Hello everyone, I painted my converted Iron Priest, and I decided to switch my great company to the Runemarked for my futures SW. His very simple lore, I wrote to explain a few painting decisions : Spoiler Harman the Ironbreaker is a proud Space Wolves Iron Priest. He decided to keep the great wolf symbol on his shoulder to put his assigned GC symbol on his knee symbol, now the Runemarked. Grievously hurt on Armageddon where Orks took his arm he crossed the Rubicon Primaris. He sti keeps parts of his old armour, now painted in red to honour the priesthood of Mars which formed him. He kept a furious hatred again the Greenskins and The hall of Fang now echoes of multiple Sagas where Ironfang is destroying an ork metal creature. svane jotunsbane, Karhedron, Wispy and 5 others 4 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377454-drieds-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6125816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dried Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 (edited) Hi everyone, I just finished my first minis from the last refresh. I loved painting the faces honestly. They are so cool, maybe the best marines faces I ever painted. Can't wait to paint the rest.

Dried Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Hello everyone! I finished my Wolf Guard Battle Leader I started just after finishing my Terminators less than two weeks ago. Once again the sculpt is awesome. Those new Space Wolves are so good! He'll be my general at the Paris Wargame Expo in a few weeks, I'll play in the 2v2 narrative event. I hope you'll like it!

Thanks a lot. <3 I started my Blood Claws, but the PWE is in 2 weeks and I'm not sure I can do 10 miniatures in this period of time... We'll see.

Dried Posted Monday at 08:31 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:31 PM (edited) Ok so I just finished one in time... But I'll use some Assault Intercessor for the other nine blood claws and take the time I need to finish the rest.

DanPesci Posted Wednesday at 08:17 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:17 AM Fantastic stuff! The detailing/weathering/faces and base work are all outstanding. Is there a particular method/product you're using for the water effect on the base?

Dried Posted Wednesday at 09:29 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 09:29 AM (edited) It's not water but it's snow (ok snow is water but you understand what I mean. ). To do my base : - in a hollow base, I put some enemy bits (often bits from my friends armies) and paint them - I pour uv resin - I sand paper it to add some scratches when it's hard - put some electric blue and white very crudely and use household alcohol with my finger to clean it (the idea is to keep the paint in the scratches and have very very thin paint outside on top of the resin to just tint it) - matt varnish - after that I put the snow : Ak terrain snow and snow sprinkles And that's all. Not so hard to do for a effect I really love. Yesterday I also took an army shot with all the minis I'll use this weekend : Edited Friday at 08:19 PM by Dried Kassill, jpwyrm and svane jotunsbane 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377454-drieds-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6136698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiguriusX Posted Wednesday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:26 PM Those look amazing You have great usage of the blues I could never even come close to when I was painting (my power weapon attempts are on here somewhere if you want a good laugh). The power weapons and plasmas and the ice/water bases....excellent work!!!

If you put the effort to paint your minis, you are already doing far more than the majority of the player base. It should be celebrated and not shamed. And as a teen I was mocked for some paint job I put my heart in. Honestly it sucks. But if I didn't paint those, I wouldn't be the painter I am today and I still love those pieces. I have a pictures of my first Ulrik btw I painted 20+ years ago, I don't have a lot of my original Space Wolves left, but this one is still in my display case. I put a ton of work on him at the time and was the first miniature where I tried to paint gradients. He honestly is far from good but I'll never get rid of him: Spoiler And if you don't want to check page 1, here is him now: Heraclite 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377454-drieds-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6136759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
