Fast and Furious

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.

A bigger something

After a week of really hard work...





It's not perfect, far from it. But it was hell of a lot fun making (when we weren't dead tired), and quite decent for a first movie ever made!

A little something  

Posted by Hal'jin

Haven't had time to even post what I have already waiting to be posted, since I first had exams on my head and now.. Something I wanted to share!

Here is a little something that I'm working for a course in Computer Animation and Modelling.




Looking familiar?

Silent Wolves

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!

Even In Death I Still Serve  

Posted by Hal'jin in , , ,

Moving on with the vehicle motiff, another heavily armored thing - Brother Vali One-Arm, the veteran of countless battles!

This started out as an AoBR dreadnaught that I did quite some conversion work to add wolfy details and make it look like a proper Space Wolves Dreadnaught!


He is armed with the Multi-Melta the AoBR came with default, although I decided to swap the Storm Bolter out for a Heavy Flamer instead!

Two sides of the Dread.

As you can see I added Storm Shield some wolf tails and such. Notice the small detail above the MM arm.


Detail shot of the Heavy Flamer, made frm the IG flamer and some wire. I think it turned out really nice.


A tabard and lower part of the body, as well as the base.


Unfortunately the Dreadnaughts aren't really a highlight of the Space Wolves codex and Vali hasn't actually seen a single battle, since interred in the Dread. It's partly the loadout he has, since such a short range Dread is mostly suited to walk towards the enemy, something that Dreads don't really do that well. I am planning however on maybe getting the Venerable one from ForgeWorld at some point though...

And that' it, hope you enjoyed it!

'eavy Armor  

Posted by Hal'jin in , , ,

Last post from my own comfy chair in Poland. Tomorrow a 12+ hour car trip ahead of me, hooray! But I have taken plenty of pictures to last for at least the next full month of content, woo! This time, some heavy armour!


Fun fact. The rear part of the turret is magnetised, in case I'd ever want th ebattery that goes with the Lascannons, but it apparently tilted a little (The magnet is a little too weak with all that plastic inbetween) and I haven't noticed, and I can't really take new shots. Ooops!


Of course there's more!


As I mentioned, oops! The back hatch is openable and it's actually the inside wall of the Rhino stuck right there. It isn't painted though, and is quite pointless anyway, so I didn't really take a picture.


Another tilted thing, the damned sponsons! One actually snapped on me, due to carelessly applied glue. It was a real pain to reattach! Still, seems 3 mm diameter magnets aren't that tough, but the bigger ones won't fit. Oh well. If you tilt them up they stay that way till you bump the tank, so it's okay

I tried to Wolf-ify the tank somewhat hence the tails, tails everywhere. And of course the runic inscriptions.


And some runic plates, just like the Land Raider.


And that's it. As I'm writing it I realised that I didn't take a closeup of the tank commander. Sorry! Still, I hope you liked it.

I think it looks pretty decent, too bad it doesn't see battle often. The Predators are really handicapped in this edition with all the defensive weapons nonsense. This loadout seems to be the best for the price, but it's still mostly a pillbox. But still, I liked the model so I took it. Also I'm not a fan of 3x5 ML Long Fangs... Although maybe the Vindicator would have been a better choice. I guess I'll have to have both!

And now, time to mentally prepare for a long trip. See you in 1200 kilometers!

Lightning From the Sky  

Posted by Hal'jin in , , ,

And here... we... go..! Starting off a new hundred of posts with another Rune Priest. This one is a fully custom conversion, made from spare Wolf Pack parts and some green stuff to boot.

His name is Radulf Wisewolf and he usually runs around with Living Lightning and Jaws of the World Wolf. He also lost an eye. Somewhere.


That's not all, obviously!


As you can see his second shoulder pad clearly bears the mark of the Great Wolf's company, to which all the Priesthood belongs and is only assigned to companies as needed.


The weapon he carries is the original metal Rune Priest weapon. Since the previous one got a little weapon swap, I thought it'd be nice to actually use this one anyway. It also helps him stand out a little.


The other thing, to make him stand out in the squads was to use nmm all over, as with all the other HQ/Elites. Since the model is made out of regular Wolf Pack bits it had to have something!

Here you have a closeup on the face, and the sculpted runic shoulder pad! You might also notice.. I have no idea what exactly it is, other than it is a part of the Psychic Hood, the metal Rune Priest has.


And the weapon, with the "glow" effect. It isn't as good as some out there, but I think it looks quite okay, since I did want a very faint effect.


And lastly, his Chooser of the Slain, which I would show more of except that... I only got him recently. Yep, a cheap idea, I will use one of the DE Razorwings. I cut off some of those shard claw parts and will paint him as a raven.



And that's it for today, thanks for reading!
