Sprue Whispering

So I had a bit of a slacker period, work and life got in the way, but I did get around 3 weeks later to finishing the bases for the wolves. Just a bit of Army Painter Battlefield Winter tufts, with Gale Force Nine scatter and bark chips for the rocks.

The next thing I had to work on was the wolves themselves. Really these miniatures turned out to be three projects in one. Build the marine, backpack with servo arm and finally the wolves. I went with a Grey-brown look on these wolves. I basically regurgitated the paint scheme from Buypainted ( part-1 and part-2 ). Buypainted is a great YouTube resource for learning how to airbrush miniatures.

So way back in March 2015, I decided to undertake building a 2000pts WH40K Space Wolves force. I had on and off followed and dabbled off and on with WH40K since the Rogue Trader days (1989), the last time I formally played was up to the end of 2nd edition. But given a relocation from Australia to USA, the price point for building a proper sized force finally made sense. Being a long time Space Wolves, well all things Viking fan, I had a look around at what would be an effective force. Initially I was going to go all fluffy, with named Characters on Thunderwolves, heavily Thunderwolf based, but looking at the points I gradually gravitated to a more point effective setup. I did start working on two Iron priest mounted on Thunderwolves. Those strength 10 servo arms were just too cinematic to pass up. The first of these I assembled from a Devastator backpack and various styrene (Plastruct) off-cuts. I went for a very heavy lifter type feel for this one, heavily dampe...

I have been meaning to put something like this together for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So here we are five to six months later ... I am going to regularly make updates and document projects as I work on them, starting with a bulk "back-fill" of my ongoing projects, from midway through March 2015. You can catch me here and/or on my G+ profiles for feedback.
