Wraithwing Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Got the grass tufts and snow done. Got the mix on the snow right this time, so it sits slightly more proud on the base: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verux Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Very nice army you have. Normally I am not a fan of the "blue wolves" but your layering style makes it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Fenrisian Wolves done: I'm quite pleased with these guys, purely because they were free from a chap on Facebook, who had got them in a job lot. They were smashed up and caked in paint, with mold lines galore, so I'm glad I was able to rescue them! Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithwing Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Work continues on the army, and I'm super keen to keep the momentum going. As such, I took the plunge, and bought the rest of the army! Just another box of Fenrisian Wolves to go, and I've got the 2000 point army complete. I've also made a start on the Thunderwolf Cavalry: And done a bit more on the Blood Claws, who I hope to get finished tonight: Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Another quick WIP update, second half of my Melta Pack of Grey Hunters built. That's all 30 Power Armour on foot bodies built: Currently building three more Thunderwolf Cavaly Riders and my Stormwolf. Still to build: 3x Drop Pods Venerable Dreadnought with magnets Iron Priest on Thunderwolf (ordered the techmarine I'm going to use as a base last night) Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jegind Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Please post pictures of that Iron Priest on Thunderwolf. Im trying to do one aswell. And did you air brush those wolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 And so begins the Iron Priest on Thunderwolf WIP: I thought I'd have to cannibalise my Stormwolf Pilot, but actually, I think I can make this guy work. Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Been working on the Iron Priest, here's where I'm at so far: Replaced the skull on the mechanicus symbol with a wolf skull, shaved from a Power Fist: Think I'll also replace the Thunderwolf's head with the bionic eye version. I'm annoyed, as I had some guitar string in my modelling toolbox, but it's gone missing. Need some for piping round the waist and from the Thunderhammer to the backpack.

Wraithwing Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think I'm about ready to call this guy done. Pretty pleased with how he has turned out: C&C appreciated. Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithwing Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Time for a couple of updates! Blood Claws are mostly finished, just the basing left to do: I also broke out the airbrush, to try out some Citadel Air Russ Grey I bought the other week: So, that's 23 power armour bodies based coated in Russ Grey in about 20 mins. Quite pleased with that!Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wow, they look great, did you need to thin the paint at all, or did you apply it straight from the bottle? Also how much approximately did you use? Lastly what pressure was the airbrush at? I got an airbrush for Christmas and hope to use it soon (never had one before), I got the GW air paints but wondered how easy they are to use. Also my compressor auto stops at 3 bar. I hear some folks say to run a compressor at 2 bar or 30psi, which means mine would be constantly running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at home, so can't answer your airbrush compressor queries. The Russ Grey was ok. I'll know tonight when I tidy up some panel lining I've done whether the colour match is right. I didn't use to much, and added a good brushful of water to the airbrush cup. I should of used thinners, but was out. I've only got a cheap airbrush for coverage. The rest will be brushwork.

MosesGunn Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Great stuff man. Like the understated snow cover on the bases a lot and the Iron Priest looks great. As someone who's alternate army is the Iron Hands, guitar wire really is your best friend when it comes to bionics and cables! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Your painting is superb, especially the fenrisian wolves. I love the look of your army. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Time for another update. Progress has slowed a little, due to a heavy week at work, including being out of the country for the day for a meeting. Other than that, the fire still burns for the Sons of Fenris! One thing I wanted to do was include a BlizzShield Dread in a drop pod. However, I also wanted to magnetise the sucka, as I felt it would be a waste not to. So, after what feels like a thousand magents, and gallons of super glue, I now have this guys: With the new Wulfen release looming, I wanted to have options for Murderfang, as you know theres gotta be a formation with him and Wulfen. I've also magnetised the ranged weapon arm, as well as the fist with the Wolf Claw (not shown). The ranged weapons can easily be swapped out, and just push fit into the arm casing. I need to add smoke launchers, as even though MF doesn't use them, I think they look cool, and will likely use them for the BlizzShield Dread. Also, I still need to magnetise the Storm Bolter and Heavy Flamer. As always, C&C are welcome.Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Also, finished basing my Blood Claws today: And time for a sneaky group shot: Only 27 more Power Armour bodies to go! Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
