I haven't had much time to do stuff with a Bachelor's thesis I'm working on all the time now, so not much painting progress and I just didn't have what to post on Monday. I'm clueless on what to post next week as well, but I'll try to think about something. Silly posting schedule! 

Anyway, to the point, back to the Terminators! Today, the second part and the other five men!

There are all brand new and share some interesting features, at the end of the post.. Starting off with Liufr Fireeater. His name doesn't come from nothing, but more on that later... Currently he is equipped with the standard terminator loadout, storm bolter and power weapon.



Eyvindr Frostwind, the second man-Cyclone. This one also has standard loadout aside from the rack of missiles on his back. I would say he is close to being my favourite terminator as well!



This terminator, Snorri Sharpclaw, has actually been made from an AoBR terminator. Could you guess that? I reposed him a litle and added wolf parts and he turned out quite damn well if you ask me.



Kettil Njordsson, with the thing to chew through vehicles in combat, in addition to shooting. He turned out very.. golden. He seems to have the most gold on him from all of them.



And Yngvar Bjornsson the third storm shield that might come in handy when there's 10 of them.



Now for some details shots, Snorri.


The storm shield detail along with the sword. I painted it rather blandly to make it stand out from Rune Priest's Runic Sword. I didn't like re-using that part, but I didn;t really have any other sword.


Fireeater's details.


All that gold...


"I'm looking at you and that means you're screwed"


But that's not it, the terminators come with some more features. First of all, I don't neccessarily need 3 shields, if I want to minimise the cost o the unit...


Assault Cannon was just too pretty not to paint it. An awesome weapon!


But if I ever deployed them in a Land Raider, perhaps Fireeater could live up to his name...


And finally, to minimise costs even further, in case I didn't need that much AT...


And that's it for now. Hope you liked it! Feel free to leave a comment.

Time to change the army for a bit. Since everything I had to paint for the Guard is done and posted, time for some Space Wolves again! Taking off with my favourite models, that I've put off for too long. I decided to split the post into two parts since there's plenty of pictures here. Each and every terminator is unique, so I got details shots of every single one. On with the show! 


Starting off with the group shot of the first five. Perhaps you can recognise one of those from an earlier post!

First man, Randolf Shieldwall carrying a power weapon (originally intended to be a frost blade, but they aren't really worth it) and a storm shield.


And his back!


Egil Eitrisson, combi-melta and a power fist. I really like that guy!



Halvard Freyrsson, the second PW/Storm Shield. He has been painted in the second batch and I think it shows and he look a bit better than the other ones.



Hjalmar Bjornsson, the second melta guy. This one has actually been converted out of AoBR terminator sergeant. I think he fits the squad really well now after some wolf-ification!



The one I have posted a while back, painted a long time ago - the Cyclone totting Hrodgar Irongrip.



Now for some detail shots. Egil's Combi-melta - I added some runes on the chainsword bit.


Detail shot on Hrodgar's wolf pelt and chest.


Halvard, seen more from below, since he's leaning forward quite a bit.


Hjalmar's leather tabard and helmet.


Shieldwall's shield.


And that's it for the first bunch. Not many words in this post, but hope pictures more than make up for it! Stay tuned for part 2, which is a bit more interesting!

This time, I think my favourite vehicle in my army, aside from the Land Speeders. The humble Drop Pod.

It was really great fun to paint I actually like the overall effect. It's been painted with the most "battle damage" of all my models I think.

I have used various methods to paint these, washes, drybrushing dark color (such as Chaos Black) and more washes. You can see the effect in closeups.

You can see I used carious different washes on the metal surfaces. Normally it is not a good idea to apply washes to a large flat area as you could get a blotchy result, but since it is a Drop Pod that enters via atmosphere it actually looks good!

I drybrushed the lower part of the hull with Chaos Black trying to make burnt smudges left by the atmosphere entry. I also washed the lower metal part a lot.

The stripes on the doors were painted using Ron's great tutorial, alas I could not find a link right now. But everyone knows where to look, don't you?

The interior itself was great fun to paint as well. You probably cannot see it, but I painted the cables using thin lines of grey to represent the reflection of the light, taken from White Dwarf's Spave Wolves tutorial.

I like painting screens, can you tell? Those display status of each individual Marine mounted in the harnesses, while the top shows the angle of descent.

And that's it. It's also a break from the Space Wolves. Expect something... new, soon!

Also I wanted to start by apologizing for not posting in a while, but the I read this and reconsidered! :D

Yay, finally time to post some content, it's only half a year old!


Back to the Space Wolves, one of the last things I haven't shown yet, the Land Speeders! I think they're my favourite Space Marine vehicles and I really like fielding them instead of Long Fangs.

Obviously there are closeups.


I did some minor converting, as you can see here on the Heavy Bolter and the knife scabard.

I really like how they turned out, they're one of my favourite models in the army.

This one has slight conversions as well. There's a tiny wolf pelt on the other side as well!

And from the back.

And a little closeup on the controls, a little blurry unfortunately.

Hope you liked them, there's one more Space Wolves post coming up and then... Darkness comes!

My time in Denmark is also coming to and end, and at home over 2000 points of fresh, still packed Dark Eldar await! I can't wait to start working on them, I will most likely post some details soon!

Also I have bought my first Finecast - the new Haemonculus, just to be sure I get an undamaged model. Overall I really like the quality of it, will post more for sure when I get to working on it.

So a break from the exams and some time to actually post some content, woo! This time, something that has been done for quite a while and a break from boring Power Armor - the Wolf Scouts!


While usually they're fielded in squads of 5, just with a Melta and a Mark of the Wulfen, but a full squad is ready, just in case!

Unfortunately they're more or less a suicude squad that can take off a critical target, but then is likely to get killed by anything. But the models are quite awesome, so I still like fielding them!  There's closeups of course!

The first three, regular chaps, I like the post of the one on the right.

I really enjoyed painting those models, sort of a crossbreed between painting IG and regular PA Wolves.

Next three, with Mark of the Wulfen model in the middle. Also, notice the base of the model on the right. I was planning to make it partly a mountain stream, but I still haven't found a good way to make water on the base, that would look good.

I decided to give him a chainsword to make him stand out, although the regular Scout chainsword was horrible.. So he got a regular one. Not too stealthy, I guess, but once in combat it doesn't matter much...

A Melta gunner and the plasma pistol on the right. Plasma pistol still hasn't seen the field of battle as it's quite an overpriced option, but I like the looks of it a lot!

Besides in a 10-man squad it could come in handy, since Scouts have only one special weapon per squad, no matter the size.

And the last model, armed with a Power Weapon, although not a pack leader, since Scouts are all highly individualistic.

There is a Power Fist/COmbi-Melta Wolf Guard that joins them from time to time, to add some additional firepower.

And that's it, hope you like them! Also, I just got another package full od DE stuff and I'm going to pre-order the new goodies as well, meaning DE will soon be very done and painting will begin!
