Thanks guys,

@Memnon, I think Ultras are winning out in my head at the minute

Anyway, said there would be an update tonight, the first couple of assault marines





More soon.

And yet another update today

Just finished this;




Raptors Drop Pod

James

[Breazer]

awesome work there...im curious to see their commander...because these already look really promising!

are they all going to have this sorta older armor version look?

[Gearhart]

Fantastic! Cant wait for more, mate.

[The_Dark_Raven]

Looking good as always James, really lovely Raven Guard. Makes me think of the brave souls who fought on Isstvan V.

[superdupermatt]

Nooooooo why did you have to raptors?? Now I can't do my without feeling incompetent.

But the drop pod is brilliant

[stahly]

Great to see you back James!
However your photography was better back then
Looking forward to what there is to come!

[Student]

Great work. I really like the assault marines.

Thanks guys, yeah, the stuff for this job is going to have the same look (the Raptors Drop Pod is a different job)

That's what they're based on, there's Salamanders coming after these as well and I've just had postage confirmation of the Land Raider Protius(sp) for them

Only one pod mate, your Raptors are looking cool.

Great to see you back James!

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, just not sure what I'm doing wrong these days, I probably need to spend a bit more time with my camera to try and get it working right (Got a slightly better one now although you wouldn't think it!)

Great work. I really like the assault marines.

Thanks mate, there's another couple to come, in MkII armour.

James, your painting is so good that I had to create my own space marine chapter/ color scheme so I wouldn't have to look in shame at my minis when I compared them to you. Your raven guard put mine to shame.

[TomG]

Nice painting. I think, you solved my problem, how to finish comission of custom Salamander Captain on Jump Pack with Paired Lighting Claws.

[Griffonclaw]

3 stars? Someone must hate your guts spiky! Excellent work as usual. Im a frequent lurker of your other log(s) and must say you never fail to live up to the task. 5 stars.

[spikyjames]

Thanks everyone, glad you like what I'm doing this time round, not sure on the whole voting/rating thing but thanks for all the support anyway

Finished another couple of assault marines


Just waiting on the other head to arrive.

On another note, after chatting with a few friends I've made a decision on the next personal army, and it'll be more Space Wolves, thinking back to when the new codex first arrived, I thoroughly enjoyed the army I was using then so I'm aiming to re-capture what I did with them then.

So it'll be loads of pods, a few characters and Wolf Guard backed up by a few packs of Grey hunters, Hopefully I'll have the time to take these to a better level than I have done before, who knows, only time will tell.

Hi James,

fab Marines and a crisp painting as ever!!

Great to hear, that we will see some more of your great Space Wolves!

P.S.: had to give it a 5er

[Gearhart]

Great stuff your painting is fantastic, can wait to see those space wolves

[spikyjames]

Thanks guys, starting to speed up a bit now

Raven Guard Captain





I think he's came out quite well.

Next Up will be some tactical marines and then the Stormraven.

James

[Gearhart]

this came out great, good job. You gave justice to that model.....

[npow34]

Great stuff James. Will we be seeing the primarch of the Ravenguard with these bad boys?

Also thrilled to see you will be returning to Space Wolves, speaking as a fellow wolf lord myself, your logs always provide great inspiration! Almost finished with my first Grey Hunter squad!

[Stempe]

Excellent paint job. He's got a really haggard expression on his face. Nice! But I think a more greyish complexion would have suited him better.
