My Birthday: GOT THE BATTLE FORCE

Hi, just updating to tell you that I got a space wolf battleforce just now!!!

My Birthday: Space wolf stuff so far!

Hi, B-day update 2. Here is my space wolf stuff so far today. Sorry for the dodgey pics as I took them quickly.

Here are the wolf guard termies. I want to make four as just that and then 1 as a rune priest in termie armor who can be used as a normal termie sometimes too (maybe even a wolf guard battle leader in smaller games at a push!).

Here is the codex. I have been reading through it and enjoying the Ragnar stuff!!!

Thanks for reading,

Jacob!

Supprises: IT'S MY B-DAY and I got loads of stuff.

Hi, today is my birthday and I have just opened a load of presents. I am posting from my new amazing laptop and I have had lots of non 40k related things but I also have the new space wolf codex and space wolf termies box (I know that I have more to come). There will be lots more posts today so watch out!!!

Painting: LOADS done on Space Wolves (pics included).

Hi, just thought I'd share my most recent updates with the wolves.Here we go:

It's hard to see I know but these guys have been painted shadow grey then had a heavy wash of devlan mud

Here are the other 5.

Now here's some progress. the armour has been reestablished with shadow grey except for the recesses. Most of the yellow base coat for gold has been done. both shoulder pads have received their base coats and the face and base coat of the hair are started.

A closer look.

The other blood claws.

A closer look at some wolf pelts. oh yea, they have been started too.

The wolf guard. Now, his armor was never reestablished because of the amount of wear and tear it would have, He has also had a load of work done.

A look at his back.

And finally a nice clear close up.

I hope you like them and please tell me if you don't. More work has been done since, pics to come. thanks for reading,

Jacob.

As he stands I have done the metals, the skulls, the belt and more. have a look at him.

The smiley face has been fixed on the cloak and it has been muddied appropriately.

Another view.

Now for part 2. These four space wolves are now shadow grey.

Here is an in detail look at one of them.

Thanks for coming back and i am sorry for not posting yesterday. tell us what you think and contact me if I have made mistake. thanks for reading,

Painting: Space wolves are now Fenris grey (with pics).

So, today i sat down and started to base coat my blood claws (and their wolf guard). After painting them black over the past week I have now painted all the armor in Fenris grey (boy does that paint separate fast, tutorial on how to fix separating coming soon). Anyway, on with the pics:

all of them. You can kind of make out the blueish grey.
Here is a better example though still hard to see.

and another

One last one.

Please tell us what you think and I hope you enjoyed the pics. what do you think of the every day post thing. Thanks for reading,

Space wolves: First 14 guys (now converted) pics.

Hi, just thought that i would give you the pics of the now converted guys. here they are:

Both of these long fangs (above and below) have been given some form of bionic arm. this was because I couldn't fins the real arm in my bits box. Also the guy below has a shortened (slightly) lascannon because the end was broken.

Below is plasma cannon dev 1, he has extended shoulder pads. Tell us what you think.

Now for the 'knight' of the blood claw pack. I think i may have to give him an appropriate name (feel free to suggest any). All it is is a marauder a shield glues to his fist.

now for my favorite bits. the wolf pelts. here they are.

Basic conversion, just stick it on the guy.

This guy took a bit longer. First one pelt was glues round his waist, then another one was trimmed and stuck on slightly overlapping it. this gave a large cape thing effect.

This guys pelt was trimmed then stuck on high up on his back.

All of the pelts and shields were from a marauder kit that I had bits left over from. Please give us some feed back on a) what you think of me collecting wolves and b) what you think of these guys. Anyway, thanks for reding,

Jacob.

Space Wolves: my first set built.

Hi, today I am going to show you my new space wolf models (unconverted) here we go:

Plain old blood claws, all 6 of them
The three special blood claws, the flamer is taken from normal space marines and a wolf thing is stuck on.

Sorry the pic is on it's side but this is my wolf guard.

4 long fangs.

Now for these 14 men I used 4 running leg sets and the main parts of 4 marines. these were mixed into both squads though all of the long fangs apar from the legs and heads were regular guys.

Thanks for reading, I hoped you enjoyed it,

Jacob.

Sorry it's only a short one.

Thanks for reading (and hopefully commenting),

Space Wolves: why I chose them.

Ok, so there has been a load of hype about how good the new wolves are. and quite frankly they are amazing. I just thought I'd share why I started them.

Because i am on suscription I got white dwarf early, I saw there were wolves on the over and imidiately loved them. I have always liked them but I loved them. this ws before I had seen the rules. All I knew was about jaws of the world wolf. So, at games day i go and buy a box of the delicious wolves. A few days ago I finished building them I made: 6 blood claws, 1 flamer blood claw, one plasma pistol blood claw, 1 power fist blood claw, 1 wolf guard with thunder hammer and storm shield and 4 long fangs (2 plasma cannons, 2 las cannons). Now, part way thrgh I saw the rules at my games workshop. i carried on with my plan for them, just made sure my squad was legal. I will be painting them as space wolves and using them as space wolves. yes I may built a competitive list but it will still be a list i like. I am also going to put a lot of effort into them and will have something I think looks cool.

Please give me some feedback (I want to star a bit of a discussion) thanks for reading,

Jacob.

Next up, legions of the eye, this is the designers notes on the new WOTR minis. Looks quite good and a nice read.

Bood and Sand: This is the campaign between gondor and harad. It's a cool looking campagn and the scenari packs are interesting with a mix of WOTR and LOTR. Also ther are pics of some of the armies.

Mighty heroes mighty deads: This is an editorial on heroes in warhammer and how special characters can change your army. Should be a good read for 40k players too. Some nice armies are in there as well.

The battle was really good. i won't spoil it for you this time though. But basically the four space wolf heroes clashed with some form of daemons each. It was really cool to see some of them in action. tell me if you want more information.

Hobby essentials: This month there are some great tips on how to use modelling snow. 1 is basing, 2 is mixing with paint water and water effets to create wet looking mud and 3 is used on water for froth.

adverts on tools of the trade.

Standard bearer: Jervis talks about how fun painting nights are and how to organise them. Good fun as usual.

Super interchangeble space wolves: A look at the space wolf sprues, nicely laid out as usual. then ther is an atricle on converting and kit bashing the space wolves. It really shows you how to get milege out of the sprues. then they do the same to tanks.

Now comes the hall of fame: this month Dave Thomas chooses GUI LE GROS, here is a pic:As you can see it is a nice mini. Dave says he loves it for it's simplicity and character. As well as it's little details. Look on google images for more details. Dave also like Gui's friends Hugo le petit and bertrand the brigand but likes Gui most. Michel 9the sculptor) was very supprised as he had almost forgotten the mini and sculpted him in a very short time. he says the barrel took ages.

Eavy metal masterclass, wolf guard: here is a really good tutorial on how to paint wolf guard or as in this issue, lukas the trickster. lots of good tips here and quite a simple way to paint power armour. in fact, most of the tecniques are simple and only have 3 stages. Bubonic brown was the base for the yellow! really nice stuff.

Master modelers: this is an article all about the amazing terrain the studio has. It's got some great tips in and all of it looks really good. Nice to see some more terrain tutorials.

and that's about it. Skaven next month.

Thanks for reading everyone, please leave a review and tell me if you want something in more detail. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading,

Jacob
