Hairy's 2012 Plog - Kill Teams, Space Wolves & World of Twilight

[juicytomatoes]

really love the objective markers you made. The crashed ship is ace!

[Killshot]

Great work HN, and the fluff pieces are very entertaining.

[Hairy Norseman]

Thanks guys.

I have finally finished my Knights of Naralon for World of Twilight, though I still need to build their barracks.




These guys got me a bronze award in the WoT painters tale.


I have also started work on the Bushido dragon for our new son; he was born in the year of the water dragon. After that I have some more WoT minis as well as some minis for a home-brew sci-fi ruleset and I'd love to make a start on my new Space Pups force before the end of the "summer".

Finally I can say I have started my new Space Wolf army...yay!


Hmm, I think I may need to do a spot more building, lol.

So far I am working towards a 500pt list for a game a week tomorrow; not to paint them up just build them. But, I began my duties as house husband today to look after our 7 month son so there is not exactly at lot of time at the mo. Having said that I have my Wolf Guard Battle Leader and a Wolf Scout with a sniper rifle built so far and more scouts on the way this evening...hopefully. So fingers crossed I make it.

Pics to follow tomorrow...hopefully.

Finally, a proper start to my new Space Wolf force. Behold the Wolf Scouts...


I had finished my Wolf Guard Battle Leader but unfortunately I've decided to make a few changes. I've also made a start on my first Grey Hunter pack.

Three updates on three days in a row, this is going well...so far, lol. Behold my Wolf Guard Battle Leader.


I had to rework him a few times, first I got the angle of the torso wrong so it looked more like he had tripped, then I forgot to remove the power cables to the fists (they look more slim lined without them) as well as the skulls on the fists. Then I realised I'd fitted the wrong right shoulder pad so I had to cut that off and replace. Still, I got there in the end.

I've already made a start on the first Grey Hunter team so fingers crossed they should be done tonight/ tomorrow then its on to the Long Fangs.

Next squad...Long Fangs...

I decided to use the old style FW heavy weapons as they are pretty darn cool and remind me of my early years playing 40k in 1.5 Ed & 2nd Ed. I did find the FW kits aren't very good at going together so the mini is firing, the heavy weapons always seem to clash with the back pack or the head...or both. Perhaps it's because I'm kit bashing, still I think they could be better.

I've also pretty much finished my first Grey Hunter squad I just need to build a plasma pistol guy then GS as needed. After that I have my 2nd GH squad to do and a Dreadnought. I've also been busy painting up my entry for this months Tale of Skirmish painters, a Fubarnii Eragu for World of Twilight.

HN

[Hairy Norseman]

Just finished another warrior from the World of Twilight...an Eragu!


A great (not so) little mini. It seems somehow strange having a WoT mini in resin, lol. I'm hoping there will be some comrades for her soon.

I have also finished building my first Grey Hunter squad...


...well I say finished I still have a tiny bit of GS work to do but unfortunately my son is a bit grumpy today so I haven't had a chance to do it yet.

HN

[Hairy Norseman]

Well its been a while since I last posted but have been busy working on the 2nd Grey Hunter squad, behold!



I have also been building a Micro Art Studio Death as well as a WoT Fubarnii Engineer and converting up a WoT Dhogu sniper. Hopefully at least some of these should see some paint soon. Oh and I'm about to start my Contemptor Dreadnought, yay!

Nice posses on all of them, they look very dynamic.

[Hairy Norseman]

Thanks bluewolf, I wanted to give them dynamic poses for two reasons: one its cool and two I'm avoiding and removing a lot of the usual GW embellishment (what? no skulls?!?). These guys are gunna be a bit old-school.

HN

[Hairy Norseman]

Just finished the Dhogu Sniper conversion. This has reminded me that I don't really have the patience for metal conversions


The arms are a little long as I struggled to get them to fit properly, apart from that I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out.
