Digital wolf stepping through the warp onto the TT

[PeteySödes]

Crap sorry for the struggle. It at least breeds unique solutions and skill ups though when not under a time crunch. Bikers continue to look badass!

[TiguriusX]

Botched my glowing rune painting for the bikes.

I tried it both ways...painting recess first and painting around it. Painting around it first and recess last.

I simply can't paint the flat surface without paint going into the recess

To make matters worse I tried/failed it so many times the recess is filled with paint

For my final attempt I actually used my hobby knife to physically carve out the runes (which was insanely hard because so tiny)

Argggg

Debating whether to simply make it uniform blue and move on

Early attempt where I tried to do a very watery white at the end. I tried wiping it with my finger as shown in the youtube video but it smeared white all over instead of wiping away

Cover up with my darkest blue

How they look now (and the blue thunder hammer as well)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the bikers.

[TiguriusX]

Went to a tournament and the batreps can be read here

Also finished my ETL vow!

Part 1/3 (Dreads)

Part 2/3 (WG Bikes)

I actually had to do post vow modelling correction on these guys

I cut and trimmed the flag pole from the seats and chopped and magnetized the pack leaders weapon arm

Those combi-flamers took forever!

Part 3/3 (Njal)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[NightHowler]

Good job!

[Jackalwolf]

Really cool mate. Can you put some more close ups?

Close ups of what?  Name it and I'll post it up for ya

 

 

 

 

Also posting my latest batrep for archiving purposes

So after I attended the 2k point tournament I came to a realization

My KR bag is awesome to get my army from my house to the tournament safely

My KR bag absolutely sucks from a logistics point of view for getting my army from table to table for each game. It just makes no sense to put them back in their foam and then pull them out after changing tables.

I noticed all the veterans were using carrying trays and decided I would join them.

I'm a big fan of FLG and went with their new display board and mat (currently on sale!)

Next time I attend a tournament I will pack this board as well. I unpack my KR bag onto the board and this is how I get around the room until everything is over

[The Saint Ragnar]

Pro tip, if you want the same on the cheap the old lunch trays from school work wonders! Minus the mat of course

[TiguriusX]

A while back I made some wolf guard but I wasn't really happy with them. The storm shields look too small IMO

I finally got around to changing the models. I ripped off the arms and magnetized them all. Then I went and put in my custom breacher shields

I really like the size and scope of the new shields much better

Meanwhile I am running out of hobby supplies.

My 2nd can of black primer spray is officially empty and I used my last 1/16 x 1/32 magnet putting the new shield arms together

In fact I was so distracted using my final magnet I messed up and installed it in reverse in the arm I was using. I couldn't get it out safely and wanted to complete this project so I took my cutters to the arm to get the magnet back...

Next time I am in the store I will pick up more primer and get the WG painted up next

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The shields look great!

[Krakendoomcool]

Magnets are a pain! Yep it’s fully magnetised. It’s all fully glued together as well. There are two magnets in there, somewhere. As has been my experience.

 

Your army is coming along great. Also great to hear you representing the Space Wolves so well on the tournament scene. Especially as you still have to use the index. Respect.

[TiguriusX]

Reinforcements have arrived!

I need to find some time to assemble a gallant before my knight detachment is ready for the tournament sat (no painting required at least)

Probably going to ebay the 2nd knight but haven't decided yet

The armigers are a well designed kit. Easy assembly and I like the twist and lock of the gun arms (no glue required).

I plan on putting the shapeways wolf heads and will experiment with LEDs as well for the big knight

[Dantay VI]

Looks like a nice set up for reinforcement.

 

What about fibre optic instead of LED

I'm open to any hobby suggestions (links to tutorials if you have them...i am a visual learner)

 

never did any type of lighting. I'm pushing my comfort level with this project

that is a blood angel dread i converted (and need to paint eventually).

he has a blue torso and red BA highlights.

one of my opponents at the tournament kept referring to it as Captain America (the shield kept stopping shots).

i think the name may stick

[PeteySödes]

Nice! I got a BA dread as well just for the subtle differences in design.  I feel like we're both spiritual team dreadnought bros haha.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Dreadnoughts look promising.

[TiguriusX]

After 2 late nights of fast assembling I have my latest purchases available for tournament saturday woo hoo!! (thank goodness for no painting requirements)

-2 Armiger helverins

-1 Knight gallant

-2 3rd party vindicare assassins

I intentionally left armor plates and other pieces off for now. Will do them later when I paint (I read many tips saying assemble that way)

Goal is basically have them ready for the tournament.

I did take some time to modify the gauntlet. The claws intended for Bjorn can be clipped to fit in the sockets. I think they look quite nice in there.

I also have the shapeways wolf heads incoming and an LED kit to experiment with

But first things first....tournament prep for saturday!

[TiguriusX]

Get your war face on boys!

Will update everything after the tournament today

Here is a link to my thread with post tournament batreps

Edited August 13, 2018 by TiguriusX

[PeteySödes]

Badass dude! That gauntlet looks great!

 

Chances are I’m facing down some knights today too, good luck brother! Regale is with tales of your victory!

[TiguriusX]

Got my shapeways knight accessories

Just waiting on the LED kit now before I actually glue and then move on to painting. I actually took these to the tournament with a mix of glue and blue tack and they held up just fine

In the near future I should put all their armor panels and other "bling" on as well

Also decided on my next knightly house to test

I will give Mortan a spin

The tradition all my units gain will be WS+1 if we charge...were charged...or heroically intervene (hey why does that seem familiar hmmm)

This probably works better with warglaives instead of helverins but I need the ranged backfield. At most I will take 1 of each in future testing.

Mortan has a special stratagem (slayers of shadows) that has synergy with my helverins. 1 CP and I can ignore all modifiers (buffs and debuffs). Basically this lets me pick off flyers and eldar like alaitoc at my normal BS of 3. I can then spend 1 more CP for skyreaper on the same helverin to reroll all misses or I can use it on the other helverin to hedge my bets

I also predict I will need more grey hunters to get a battaltion for the new codex stratagems so the overall list will be changing
