Angron: WIP 2

This is just a quick update on my Angron project to show how I've got on with the basing so far. I've now got the basic painting done on the base and diorama base, all ready for weathering powders.

Angron: WIP 1

This post being titled 'Angron: WIP 1' may be appropriate, but, as you can see, while there's been a certain amount of 'W' completed, there's really too much 'P' already done for my liking. But I need to stop neglecting this blog and update it with something. Got to please my fans after all. You're both welcome.

Grey Hunters: Raudsrekkr the Red's Pack

This is my third and final squad of Grey Hunters, completing the core of my Space Wolves army. Model-wise, this is probably my favourite squad of Grey Hunters as a number of these kitbashes just came together so pleasingly.

Wolf Scouts of Fyf

Well, it's been a long time since I posted! I do apologise for that and will try to post a bit more regularly. My time was mainly taken up by replaying the entire Mass Effect trilogy (including all DLC) from start to end for the third time. Shepard won again. Those reapers are all talk.

There was also a lot of procrastination and general non-hobby-doing. Sometimes it's hard to get back to it once you break your flow. I did need a break though as I had been relentlessly painting Space Wolves and was sort of drained.

Anyway: let me introduce you to Fyf's contingent of Wolf Scouts. The first Space Wolf models I built, but not the first I painted, alas.

Grey Hunters: Hjorkyr Stormblade's Pack

Finally, I managed to post another showcase! Sorry for the delay; I've just not got round to posting lately but rest assured that I have been busy and there's another couple of squads after this one all finished, photographed, and waiting for me to write their mini-sagas. In fact; I now have a 1,500 point army ready to roll.

So with no further ado, let me introduce you to Hjorkyr Stormblade's Grey Hunters.

Wolf Guard: Ask the Hunter

It sometimes amazes me how cheap Wolf Guard Terminators can be. This guy is a mere 33 points, and he can make himself a bit of a handful if he wants to. Change that power axe into a frost axe and he's still only 43 points. I'll be tempted just to leave him with the humble power axe when I run him though, unless I have a spare 10 points knocking around.

This was one of those models where I was somewhat indifferent to him until I finished painting him. Then everything just seemed to "pop" and it all came together.

This guy, Ask the Hunter, is the last of the Wolf Guard Terminators I have painted. Five more will follow in the upcoming months.

Wolf Guard: Jofr Stonehewer

This Wolf Guard model, Jofr Stonehewer, came about from me wanting to build the now classic Lone Wolf with chainfist and storm shield. I figured he could stand in as a Wolf Guard or Lone Wolf as I wished.

The problem was the actual building. As you may now, the Wolf Guard Terminator kit has plenty of storm shields and chainfists, but they're all left-handed. So when the Arjac Rockfist model came out and he had a right-handed storm shield, I grabbed it.

Such an aggressively equipped model required an aggressive pose and I like how it turned out.
