Dreadnought reporting in

I've had a go at painting my first ever Dreadnought. I wanted it to be the same as the rest of my wolves. Dirty, like its truly been through the wars.

I've also got a limited number of paints available to me, so I did the best with what I had.

Photo's were taken with my phone.

I've also painted two of my Wolves in Terminator armour, they will fill the roles of both Wolf Guard and Lone Wolf, one even might be a Battle Leader/Wolf Lord depending on the occasion.

Rune Priest Ahoy!

Just a quick update to show my latest WIP, my newest Rune Priest / Wolf Lord in Runic Armour, lemme know what yo think!

Army So Far

After some Reinforcements arrived courtesy of Jamie, my Knights are starting to look the part! Here is the size of my Army as it stands:

1 Rune Priest - Runic Armour

5 Wolf Guard - Terminator Armour (Possibly 4 WG and 1 Wolf Lord)

10 Grey Hunters

10 Grey Hunters

6 Long Fangs (No heavy weapon arms yet)

2 Long Fangs (No Heavy Weapon arms, WIP unit)


I've also made 1 Standard Bearer that can be popped into any Grey Hunter unit that might need him, I'm quite a fan of the model myself :-)


Anyway, here are some pictures of the chaps so far, 50% of them are base coated and the rest should be before the week is out, I might even get around to starting to paint some of them!!

Incoming

Morning all,

I'm currently trying to get the willpower together to get ready for work, whilst trying to do that I ordered some more helmets for my Space Wolves. Thanks to Jamie I'll soon be the proud owner of some more Grey Hunters, once I get them i'll swap the heads out so they fit in with the rest of the Knights. I was looking around on some random websites and found these helmets, I think they are quite funky and should (fingers crossed) look good on my guys, should take about a week for them to arrive so we'll see.

If any one is interested the site they are on is http://www.maxmini.eu/store/ 

I've been looking at buying another model, non GW to use as my Rune Priest in Runic Armour, i'm still swaying over that one, think I might focus on getting some vehicles, or more importantly, some paint!. 

 On that note, I am still trying to figure out how I want to paint the models, I don't like the "cartoony" way that a lot of Space Wolves look, I want to make them more rugged and battle worn, I was thinking of using Codex Grey as the base coat and then adding colours to it however i've also been watching Beasts Of War painting guide for their Wolf Guard Terminator and I really like how it turns out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Next post should hopefully show my army so far.

Knights Of Russ - Units So Far

Here is a quick update on the models i've put together so far, just few Wolf Guard and some Grey Hunters, all trying to stick to the whole "Knighthood" storyline that I am writing for my Company.

So may I introduce you all to the Knights Of Russ

Thursday Night In

Last night I rocked round to Fraser and JT's place to have some beers, build some models and generally have a good old geekfest. Built up some models, chatted about different tactics/army lists and discovered some interesting rules and abilities that we didn't know about. All in all, a pretty successful night!

 I know have;
5 Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour and various weapons, mostly close combat
7 Grey Hunters
1 Rune Priest in Power Armour

All but two of my models are wearing the same type of "Knightly" Helm although i'm now starting to add bitz to each of them to try and give them a little individuality.

Once I crack my camera out i'll post some pictures, I just want to get stuck in about painting them!

Knights Of Russ - First Model

I was thinking about keeping with the theme of the "Knights Of Russ". I have seen some pretty impressive conversions kicking around on the interwebs and thought I might do a couple of m own, only uber basic stuff, but all to keep with the fluff behind my Company.

 So here is potentially the first of many Knights, this chap will be part of my a Grey Hunters unit.

I have used the normal body from the Space Wolves pack, arms n such with the helmet of a Chaos Warrior and the top knot off of a Space Wolf head. I am hoping once I get them painted it will show up a bit better, possibly with some heraldry on the helms, who knows.

 - Update.

Threw together another two, here is another Grey Hunter and a Rune Priest idea I had. It uses the body of a Warhammer Chaos Warrior, i'm afraid it wasn't my idea to use this, I saw it on another blog I read and thought i'd give it a try, think its turned out none too bad.
