Dantay's VI Legion. Hvarls Headtakers

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

I am very happy with my Axe.

 

I would go with a wood-like color myself, as the trees of Fenris are sturdy enough to make boats from, whats an axe shaft?

 

WLK

[Brother Heinrich]

Well I would worry about the gray armor blending with gray rubble, maybe throw them in the desert to really shake the mold up since so many people model wolves like all they do is hang around on Fenris in the snow lol.

 

But seriously ill always have a soft spot for the Viking roots of the Vlka Fenryka, they were my first army back in 3rd and I painted them dark gray ;)

[Lord Blackwood]

I want a named dude D: where do we sign the petition 

[Dantay VI]

Hi Bladewolf.. I am glad you like the Wolves.

 

I have linked the post below, pick a Wolf and a suitable name :)

[Lord Blackwood]

Id stand to the Right of Jarl Coldheart I reckon 

[Dantay VI]

Wolfblade, do you mean the models right (my left) or my right (the models left)?

[Charlo]

I think for the axes just a nuln wash will do wonders. The metal there would be darker anyway. I Think the steel weapon class in skyrim will give you some good reference.

[Lord Blackwood]

Wolfblade, do you mean the models right (my left) or my right (the models left)?

The Models Right , yer left

[Dantay VI]

Hi Charlo, I had a crack at the axes... trying to go back and forth with the blue metallic darn near melted my brain. I call them my Ice-Blades

 

Hope you like.

Front & centre are Kassill and Psycho's wolves, the 2 with the dark metal are to the left and look pretty cool, near the right side, I tried metallic red on one of the 2 axes waved around by the mark 5 Wolf.

 

I have never played or seen Skyrim, although I heard it was good.

 

Brother Heinrich, it sounds like quite a good idea, to add browns to the bases. I could sprinkle snow flock on when I feel more wintry and just tap it off when done... Good thinking sir!

 

Hi Wolfblade... Good choice and pretty axe!! :D

Stonking great dude!

[Dantay VI]

Thanks Charlo!

 

Getting ready to head home.

 

Overall quite happy with progress, just a few odds and ends to finish up, maybe neaten the highlights and do bases. Found some RT Space Wolves transfers and gave them a go. Not too shabby, but the sarge symbol didnt adhere properly so shiny where it lifted. Sorry for the blurry pics.

 

Let em know what you think :)

[Charlo]

I really like the red face plates on these guys. It's a great scheme idea.

[Dantay VI]

Hi guys & gals.

 

I have made a few minor tweaks to the story, or mainly to the second part and added in the pictures of my assault marines completed. Recon marines are now 95% done. Seems I will need to repaint the cloaks.

I opted for more of a bleached desert-y kind of feel to the bases. Brother Heinrich suggested to change things up a bit as it seems a bit stereotypical to keep just plonking the Wolves in the snow.

 

I also really like going back to old-school RT Space Wolves markings. I hope that FW will go back to something similar when it is the Wlves turn, and not opt for the lazy option of recycling Ragnars shoulderpad.

 

Besides I can now say the bases are more Prospero-esque 

 

The other reason is that the Wolves in the story have come to the aid of a world in the Ultramar system Reading parts 1 & 2 which need a good tidy up will help flesh it our t a bit more. The Night Lords Eaters and Bearers have been blasting the world to bits.... Anyways I will let you read on and see what you think.

 

Also do the bases look okay or should I stick to the standard snowy bases?

 

Here goes:

A perfect hunt & revelations

 

  

The ambush had been almost flawless. Almost….

Recon squad “Bjorn” sat in the cover of a burnt out hab building. The area had once been a popular trading district and there had been many shops, stalls and homes. Now it was deserted, the wares long gone or turned to ruin and the bones of unfortunate citizens were spread across the square, picked clean by carrion birds where they lay.

 

It had been gruelling work, hunting down the traitors and many of our leads had been dead ends. Keldane Blackfox was always just out of reach. Hel-born scum. It took all of my restraint not to emit a growl at the thought and give our position away.

 

 Entering the plaza a lone Wolf stumbled and fell. He tried to rise, but failed & began a painful crawl across the rubble. Scant seconds behind him, followed a gaggle of cackling Night Lords.

Having thought they had found easy sport, they took their time inflicting maiming wounds on the stricken Wolf who made no sound and could barely defend himself. It was only after the lead Night Lord examined their prey and discovered something amiss, that the trap was sprung.

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_234143.jpg

L-R Hjald Halfborn, Egil Eiriksson, Morgrim Silvertongue

 

As the gore soaked, midnight clad marines looked around in confusion,  Egil Eiriksson’s sniper rifle silently coughed and the closest Night Lord dropped. Then 2 more fell taken down by Hjold Halfborn & Morgrim Deathtongue and they began to draw their real weapons and look for cover, not knowing from where they were being picked off.

 

 

At a signal the sky blazed as grey clad marines dropped amongst their midnight brethren. With glinting axes and barking bolt pistols, Kjaran Cold-heart led his pack into the fray against his once brethren. More Night Lords dropped, their armour sundered by blade and bolt. Kjaran, Kassill, Skjara Redwolf and the Wolf-Blade began to reap a tally of cut threads forcing the Night Lords to breaking point.  Some of the skitja stayed and fought, then died. It allowed the leader and his party to retreat towards the relative safety of an outlying building and from there, to make a stand. The safety was just an illusion however as Fafnir led his terminator clad pack into their midst. Where, before, there had been a solid wall, now it became a pile of pulped rubble.  Fafnir and Starkadr burst through, shields to the fore and hammers swinging, followed on by the remaining 3 warriors of their pack. All hell broke loose for a few brief seconds as the Night Lords tried to recover from the turn of events. However the truly smart ones turned and fled before their armour was caved in By Fafnir and his Hearth-Hammers.

 

 

As the two remaining Night Lords fled the scene, one collapsed in a heap, careening head-long into a fragile cart demolishing it, the second rounded the corner and was away.

It was at that point I called Kjaran’s pack back from trying to pursue. We didn’t want to get too strung out and picked off ourselves. We had already lost a lot of brothers that way. The little Lordlings may not have our heart for battle, but they do have a cunning which should never be under estimated.

 

 

Seeing Kjaran’s pack give up the chase, and watching the one Night Lord slip through his grasp, Fafnir flew into a terrible rage, like a baresark of old times… In truth I feared for my safety in that moment. He stormed over to me and there we were. Face to face. Kjaran's assault team created a cordon around myself & Fafnir, keeping my pack out and his pack away.

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222404.jpg

Agvald, leader of Bjorn pack 

 

“Why in all of the Hel’s did you allow that piece of skitja to escape?”

 

“Who said we let him escape, Jarl Fafnir?”

 

“One of Curze’s night cursed sons slipped away” Fafnir was getting dangerously  an I could scent the kill urge on him.

 

“Torvald, did we let the scum get away?” I called calmly over my shoulder, never breaking eye contact with Fafnir.

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222345.jpg

Torvald, pack huntsman

 

“ No Jarl Agvald.”

 

“And why is that?”

 

“Our bolt rounds were envenomed Jarl Agvald… The one who fled, I wounded him myself. His wound will not heal and we can follow his blood trail back to the vipers nest”.

 

I kept my voice low so only Fafnir could hear, for although I do not particularly like this man, I would not want to shame him in front of his men

“So you see Jarl Fafnir, he hasn’t escaped at all. In fact he is doing something that no amount of interrogation would have given us”.  I think I even managed to grin back at him, for his face twisted in frustration as he turned away.

 

“We lost a wolf to set up this trap, that hunters blood will be on your hands Agvald” grunted Fafnir as he gestured towards the fallen man who had led the Lordlings into our trap. I believe he was trying to find a way to save face in front of his men, it was a shock to him when I told him who the dead wolf really was.

 

“That is neither a Wolf or a Hound, but a blood-mad butcher, Jarl Fafnir. The World Eater was too far gone to give us any information, so we cut out his vocal chords and dumped him in traitor territory near a known Night Lords outpost. He knew where we were for we told him, and we knew he would come here looking for a fight.

Apart from Hamma’s hand, we didn’t lose anyone”.

 

It was then that the anger bled out of Jarl Fafnir and some of his humour returned. “It is a good thing that Hamma is right handed then, isn’t it? Tell me though, this was not a part of my plan, who decided to change it?”

 

“I did roared a voice from the edge of the circle and as one we all bowed”.

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Korianna was one of the 500 or so worlds which made up the Ultramar sector of space. It was a forge world supplying men and materiel to the ever expanding great crusade. Not a major world, it was however famed for having a Knight household standing over the world as protectors. The ultimate fate of the Knight household is unknown, but from archived records it would seem that a coup of sorts took place and like on many worlds across the Imperiumt, the Knight household was ravaged by civil war.

 

It was around this time that the Word Bearers, Night Lords and World Eaters descended upon Korianna and despoiled this once verdant and productive world.

 

A Space Wolves contingent was sent out to the world shortly after, believed by the Ultramarines to be one of the much-maligned watchpacks. Having ascertained that Lord Guillemann was indeed loyal to the Imperium, they were released from their duties and deployed to Korianna, to monitor the traitor incursion.

The total strength of the force which actually deployed, was and still is unknown, however it is fairly safe to assume that it was well beyond the 10 man unit initially sent out. In these uncertain times it is suspected that the Ultramarines allowed the Space Wolves to act autonomously and if they were halting incursions into Ultramar then they were left free to act as they saw fit.

 

In and of itself, this unusual display of leniency on the part of the 13^th Legion shows just how stretched the Ultramarines had become by the unfolding treachery enacted upon them.

The Space Wolves were known to use diverse tactics in hunting down the traitors on Korianna. Often relying on guerilla tactics such as ambushing their prey. Commonly this would be a multi-unit operation with a specially prepared kill-zone

 

In the example above we can clearly see that the ambush was orchestrated by "Bjorn" or Bear squad (given this name due to the amount of equipment they carried, they were always "loaded for bear")

 

Once the trap was initiated, fast moving units would descend upon the foe to cause confusion, in this case it was Kjaran Coldhearts assault squad, the "Ice Blades"

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221227.jpg

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221715.jpg

Iceblade pack.

No record of how this name came about, however speculation leads to believe it was given due to the blades un-natural blue glow. Legend persists that these weapons were forged in the frozen heart of Fenris. Note. The squad have no visible pack markings, this is attributed to the fact that it is a squad drawn up from various others and no marking has been allocated to show respect to the fallen comrades of their respective units.

 

 

 

From markings and armour types seen on the individual members we can tell that, they have come from several packs. In the first image we can clearly identify mark 3 and the composite mark 5 plate being used.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221428.jpg

 

Kjaran is bearing the mark of Vaerangi on his kneepad to display his seniority over the Wolves in his charge. As can also be seen on his arm plate is the old marking of Sergeant. Used mainly by Space Wolves of Terran origin, often worn as a mark of veterancy, amongst the companies.

to When his pack was not ravaged by attrition, they bore the moniker the "Ironsides". This was due to their famed use of mark 3 armour and being at the forefront of each engagement.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221630.jpg

This image is of an "Ironside", known as the Wolf-Blade. Clearly displaying the former pack marking on his kneepad.

Initially they lost very few packmates further cementing their Ironside reputation, however as teh siege ground on, losses began to mount and packs were amalgamated to keep them at fighting efficiency.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221612.jpg

An example of this is the unknown Space Wolf from Baresark pack

 

Known for ranging ahead of the main force and found where fighting was fiercest. It is believed that Baresark squad suffered as high a rate of casualties from the wolf-curse as from the enemy.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221533.jpg

 

 

"Iceblade" pack is also made up of mark 2 marines displaying the markings of the pack formerly called the "Stalwarts". A group of veteran assault marines who had fought side-by-side for decades, they gained their name for being ever present and always holding when situations seemed lost.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221822.jpg

Former leader of the "Stalwarts" Taron Ironarm, earned his moniker due to his bionics and the great strenth it bore. Ever found at the forefront of his pack, often first in and last out. He is the bearer of the great axe "Icewyrm"

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222153.jpg

While some wore their veterancy in he form of augmetics gained through injury in war others displayed it with honour plates or upgrades to their armour, such as seen here born by the warrior known as Kassill.

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222019.jpg

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222033.jpg

Skjara Redwolf, was once tipped to be moved from the assault packs into the fledgeling chaplaincy being established within the Aett.. Despite his devotion to the Emperor and the legion, his psychotic tendencies and desires to rush headlong at the enemy that were often displayed in battle ultimately thwarted his chances of advancement. Skjara does not seem affected by this and appears perfectly content to fight in the vanguard of the Wolves assault, showing his devotion in a more "practical" way.

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221958.jpg

Unknown member of Iceblade pack

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221917.jpg

Casualties were a constant concern for the Space Wolves as there was probably little chance of reinforcement. This image shows the warrior known as Hamma, just after the plaza ambush. He has suffered a catastrophic injury to his left hand. In later pict recordings his corpse was discovered. It appears that he had a hand weapon fitted to his armour in place of his missing hand. This was to eventually become his undoing as it limited his ability to reload his weapon. Unable to do so he charged an enemy position and fought in hand to hand combat. Lacking flexibility in his weapon arm he was eventually brought down by a band of rabid World Eaters, but not before having reaped a tally of his foe-men

I completely redid the pictures and revamped the story & background a bit.

 

I decided against reposting  something so similar so edited the post above..

 

Please look at the post above and give an honest opinion please

I like how things feel a bit more dire now , good job!

frak that, I dont think I could handle the might of Dantay!

 

Game over man!

 

WLK

[Dantay VI]

Lol, well we are all from the same legion :D

 

Hail brothers and well met... Be at peace sons of Russ, put the fine blade away.

 

Come & be seated by the fires and tell us a tale. There is no need to paint the snow red with the blood of true brothers. Let us share this "popcorn" which Bladewolf has brought for us & raise a toast to the mighty 6th Legion.

 

Which company of the Rout do you hail from?

 

I honestly never knew you had been working on a similar scheme to the one I had been using. For me, the helm idea came from Bran Redmaws company in IA11 where they painted the snouts of their helm red to show they had been "blooded".. It could be a common theme across all the Wolves.

 

I do the same on the terminators, but give them a black helm instead of grey.

 

Are you using Dawnstone for your base colour WLK?

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

I've been toying with various color schemes for the Rout for a while now. I havent moved forward due to a lack of rules. 
Leave it to Bladewolf to bring this tasty but not filling "popcorn" but no mjod. Whelps these days...

I havent been assigned to a Company yet, just toying with stuff mostly. 
I used red because it is a color I dont use often with my Wolves or my Ravens, and wanted them to look distinctly different than my 40k force. I like the IA "blooded" idea, but never really read much of IA 11. It was released back in the days when I frowned upon FW. 

Not dawnstone, but vallejo's Cold Grey with some healthy washes of Nuln over it. I liked what I saw in the Fang with various brothers using Adminiswhatever Grey on the Wolves, and thats the next scheme I am going to try out.

With the release of the battle of Calth, I am thinking of building a ZM force of Rout using Breachers (the storm shield that comes on the SW kits...though its a little small) and some chopping of the newly released Marine arms. I'll probably chop up a few models over the next few days before I commit to any project.

 

WLK

[Dantay VI]

Cool beans... I use standard mech grey which is a shade or 2 darker so no copying at all

 

Creamywynch & Vykryl use leadbelcher with agrax & nuln oil washes for their Wolves which is pretty good. Could be a time saver as all your weapons are essentially done at the sme time

 

Wispy uses dawnstone which is pretty good too. Cold Grey is a dawnstone equivalent

 

http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

 

This is a paint chart if it helps to compare GW to Vallejo and the likes for colour matching.

 

If you want to go a really dark grey almost black, then Eshin grey might be the way to go

 

PS breachers are cool, I made some, but like you I am finding shield sizes a problem..

[Dantay VI]

Quick update. I quickly drybrushed in the metallic areas. I am trying to get a heavy aged bronze look to the metals on the tracks and a worn but cared for almost brassy look rather than my shiny golds which I am used too doing on the plates and fittings.

 

Do you think I managed it, or does it need some more washes?

 

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151115_212219.jpg

 

I also tried out some heat was for the melta's. I am going to mount round shields on to the sponsons, so I plan to keep the melta's a neutral black. Going to have to work out 2 complimentary designs or the sides...

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151115_211746.jpg

 

She is going to need a name, from one of the Valkyries.

 

Just as the Fellblade was named ReginLeif (Daughter of the Gods) and the Sicaran named Togn (Silence), so shall the Land Raiider Achilles be named from the Valkyries in Viking saga.

 

All ground vehicles will be named as such where possible, due to the fact they support and oversee the men bringing war. In traditional Viking stories the Valkyries would choose from the slain, which would go to Valhalla and which would not. As there are no medical transports II figured this would be the next best thing.

 

As an aside, my fliers will be named after dragons of legend, so my new Fire Raptor will be named Nidhog (Eater of the slain). I will need names for my Caetus and also my Storm Eagle. I am considering keeping Jorgmandr (Father of dragons) aside, incase I ever buy a Thunderhawk.

 

Yep, so if you guys can come up with any valkyrie names for this mighty beast of war then I am all ears.

 

Okay, this is the most extensive list of Valkyrie names I could find, I didn't realise that everyones favourite fantasy barbarian was named after a Valkyrie (look at the bottom of the list):

 

Name is in Gold, description in blue and name meaning in Red

 

Brynhildr, she was also called Brünnhilde or Brynhild. She was a shieldmaiden and Brynhildr was the daugther of Budli. Bright Battle

Eir, she was a goddess and or a Valkyrie, she was associated with medical skill. Peace, Clemency, Help, or Mercy

Geiravör Spear Vör/Goddess

Geirdriful Spear Finger

Geirönul The one charging forth with the spear

Geirskögul, it was two separate or an individual Valkyrie. Spear Skögul and Skögul: Spear Shaker or High Towering

Göll Tumult, or Noise Battle

Göndul Wand Wielder

Gunnr War or Battle

Herfjötur Host Fetter or Fetter of the Army

Herja Devastate

Hlaðguðr svanhvít, she was the sister of the Valkyrie Hervör alvitr Swan White

Hildr, she had the power to revive the dead on the battlefields, and used it to maintain the everlasting battle between Hedin and Högni.Battle

Hjalmprimul Helmet Clatterer, or Female Warrior

Hervör alvitr, she was the sister of the Valkyrie Hlaðguðr svanhvít All Wise, or Strange Creature

Hjörprimul The Sword Warrioress

Hrund Pricker

Mist Cloud or Mist

Ölrun Ale Rune

Randgrior or Randgrid Shield Truce, or Shield Destroyer

Ráðgríðr Council Truce, The Bossy

Reginleif Power Trace, or Daughter of the Gods

Sanngrior, she has been the mentor of the Norse hero Sigurd Very Violent, Very Cruel

Sigrun Victory Rune

Skalmöid Sword Time

Skeggöld Axe Age

Skuld Dept or Future

Sveid Vibration or Noise

Svipul Changeable

Tögn Silence

Trima Fight

Thrud, she may or may not have been a Valkyrie, but there was a Valkyrie with the name Thrud. Thrud was the daughter of Thor and Sif. She is the half sister to Magni and Modi Strength or Power

 

This isn't going to be the grey of the Land Raider, it is just the primer. It was my bad fortune to go to a GW store on pre-order weekend for BaC and it was shut.

 

So I didn't get any mech grey, so I am working up the courage to start mixing paints for this wee behemoth...

 

Anyhoo let me know what you think?

Edited November 15, 2015 by dantay_xv

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

I like the treads and LOVE the melta heat scoring.

 

From the names given, I'd go with Randgrid. For an Achilles, "Shield Destroyer" is pretty damn fitting.

 

WLK

[Dantay VI]

Thanks Kieran.. The name Randgrid is pretty cool .

 

I am torn though, because I quite like that name for my Typhon, which I have yet to assemble & paint.....

 

Geiravor, will be the name of my Glaive I think.

 

I think Brynhildr is also out, as I think I would get a few funny looks from folks for naming a tank that.  

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

Well crap. If i knew a Typhon was also in consideration for the name I wouldnt have touched it. 

 

Then I change my vote to Hrist. It describes the what the weapons will do to the enemy!
