This is the start of my Space Wolves Great Company. I have recently got back into the hobby after long break.
Models:
10 x Grey Hunters (incl Battle Standard)
10 x Grey Hunters
10 x Blood Claws
5 x Wolf Guard Terminators
3 x Wolf Guard in power armour
3 x DreadsI
3 x Thunderwolf Cav
So I found a load of my old SW models, the old metal ones, and decided to strip them down and repaint them in the Heresy Era colours. I had previously painted them in the codex, bright, shiny colours and really wanted the darker grey armour of the Heresy wolves!
So here's my painted Grey Hunters (minus the Battle Standard), Wolf Guard in power armour and two of my dreads. I have been reading the Heresy series Black Library books and really wanted to recreate the dark deliberate killers that the SW are. This is also reinforced in the Battle of the Fang, so here's my project so far!!!
Looks good! It also reminds me that behind this mountain of models I'm doing for projects, there's a mountain of terrain that I should be working through too!
Everything looks realy great Loki! I'm a huge fan of those wolves, looks muted in the way I see the Wulfen.
I would recommend a wahs on that barb wire though. Looks a bit to shiny as it is. Also try to have it closer to the ground, it looks like it is floating mid air.

Thanks I have just given the barbed wire a wash of nuln oil and I am considering getting some ryza rust to touch them up. This will have to wait till i get down to my GW.
well you can always go the route of once a space Wolf shards his humanity there is no need to be confined to a suit of armour no matter how good it is.
Not alot happening painting wise this month due to work!! And when I have had a little time I have been working on my High Elves, but I just received some FW goodies via ebay and made a little change............
I have a number of boltguns and chain blade attachments saved for when I get back to my SW's.
So I decided to have a play around with a camera and a white back drop, and to celebrate all the new SW releases I took a loads of shots of my SW's so far!
Loving the old school minis. That blood claw sgt is one of my favourite minis. I lost mine years ago, and I've been unwilling to pay stupid money on ebay for another.
Yeah I was lucky and kept hold of mine all these years! I agree the older models are some of my favourite and I think they really stand up against the newer minis
After spending some time on my HE army I have returned to my SWs! I am working on a Grey Hunter pack, these are the first three WIPs........
This pack has a few minor conversions, namely weapons and helmets, from my bits box. I have used weapons from the WoC, Dark Elves and some FW bits to give the pack a bit of identity! Hope you guys like them
So here's an update on what I got painted over Xmas! First is a better photo of my Wolf Guard/Wolf Guard Battle Leader
I used the halberd from a Dark Elf spure.
I finally completed my 2nd Grey Hunter pack. All have converted CCW's, mainly Dark Elf spears and Chaos Warrior maces. The final two models completed were the plasma carrying wolves.
And here is the completed pack! Pretty happy with how they all look together. Due to the fact I added WG as pack leaders I have 3 GH's left with no pack so will pick up some FW HH marines to make a small pack to accompany a Wolf Priest I am working on.
I also got some scenery done over xmas leave, my goal is to get a gaming table up and running in the next month. I got a couple of barricades done
This was the first proper time I used some of the new technical paints (typhus corrosion sand ryza rust) and I am really happy how the scenery looks overall and I was also impressed by the paints, very easy to apply and the effects they had!
I also picked this little gem up on ebay. I don't usually buy already painted stuff but this was exactly what I was looking for so I couldn't resist!
Thanks Nordicus I appreciate the feedback! I build up by drybrushing, starting with mechanius grey follwed by a wash of nuln oil then a drybrush of dawnstone grey and lastly a very light drybrush on the extremities with adeptus grey (sorry about the paint names havent got them to hand and cant remember the exact names!) I then use ulthuan grey for the edge highlight. If there are areas where the wash has pooled etc I wet blend with mechanicus grey again.
So here's my second Rune Priest who will accompany Njal. The model was originally an old school metal librarian. I stripped and re painted him. I will say it was a nightmare to paint! The older metal mini's lines and edges are not that crisp and it was nearly impossible to get a backpack on due the the positioning of the fixed shoulder pad!!! But I think it fits with the look of my Great Company, which has a fair few old school mini's in it!!
So this month is looking to be pretty busy hobby wise! Hopefully I can get what I have planned done without work interfering too much! So first up are my recent purchases for my SW's!
Having played a few games I desperately needed some transport and air support! I always planned to get these but decided to pick them up ahead of schedule as I still haven't painted my Long Fangs or finished my Predator.....oh well feed the plastic crack addiction!
Next up I have put together a Pegasus gothic building I brought off ebay.
I still have to glue on the gargoyles, lamps and tile fillers but I really like the look of it and it is an piece of cake to assemble. Its also a cheaper viable option then some of GW's kits, especially considering the size! I plan to paint it in a limestone/marble colour, much like ancient Greek and Roman buildings, and and a ruined 1st floor. This way I can use the scenery in 40k and Fantasy.
Another WIP is my Predator Annihilator, which coming along nicely
And finally my latest completed GH!
The GH did originally have a spear but unfortunately I was a little heavy handed and snapped it into a variety of pieces!!
Completed my first ever tank and I am pretty happy with the result! Here's my completed Predator Annihilator
The only thing I am considering is whether to add some weathering?? I was thinking a little damage and some grime over the tracks and lower parts of the tank (using typhus corrosion). Any suggestions would be appreciated!
That is a quality tank.
Though, I would add a little weathering, personally. Looks like it rolled right out of the STC yesterday.
Still, you could leave it alone, as is, and you have a magnificent predator.
