Cake, the way Russ intended!

Sooo... been away for a while, things got rather busy in the last few months what with the arrival of reinforcements, We now have a 7 1/2 month old son taking up most of our time. The boy's getting so big I'm starting to think he may actually be an Astartes.

Modelling has been a back burner for a while but I've been painting where I can. got a few more projects underway. Painting a pure Thousand Son's army for a Friend as well as Alpha legion for myself. There's World Eaters waiting in the Wings, the usual Wolfy stuff, The Sons of Ignis are getting a repaint to Storm Wardens and I've got the new starter set to incorporate into the aforementioned Alpha Legion.

Returning to the main point of this post, I turned 34 at the end of august and my very talented wife made me this for my birthday.

She used one of my Space Wolf Rhino's as the model and needless to say I was over the moon when I saw it.


Check out her stuff at Cozzmic Cakes.

So that's all for now and hopefully I'll be posting more stuff soon.

March... the wolfiest month there is!

So as you all know, Space wolves are kinda my thing. Imagine the nerdgasm that ensued when I found theses!

THUNDERWOLF CAVALRY!!!!!

I can hear the sighs coming from Coz now. But at least my birthdays are covered for a while.
The big question now is what to do with my converted Arjac?

Space Wolf Dreadnought

So, not posted in  a while, life 'n all that!

Been working on a conversion for my Space Wolves army, I purchased the Furioso Dreadnought kit while my brother in law pick up the Venerable Dreadnought.

After some furious bits swapping and chopping I was able to come up with this...

I felt any half decent wolf dread needed a big choppy claw to complete it. Add in a few furs left over from my Chaos Marauders and your away. Still working on  a name for him though, will have to dig out my Norse mythology books again.

Please vote for me!!

My Space Wolf is up for voting on, any votes would be greatly appreciated!
vote here!

I think I'm famous (Ish)!

So i was researching some Space Wolf stuff today and after tapping Sven Bloodhowl's name into google and look at other people's interpratations of him. I was amazed to find that 3 of the first page images are of my model!! Wierdly it also show's me on page 3.

Space Wolves

As previously mentioned Space Wolves where my first army and although my much coveted Leman Russ is somewhere on a land fill in the north of England I decided to start again.

This time though I decided to use this as a showcase army. So far this is my slowest painted army and I'm currently averaging one mini in a day of a  painting. Most impressively I've manged to make this army out of 2 boxes of space wolves 2 boxes of wolf guard and 2 single miniatures.

I stared with a ten man squad of Blood Claws, but to emphasise the wild nature of these young marines I swapped out the standard legs for assault marine running legs. Now with ten spare normal SW legs i could order torsos from a reliable bits store and hey presto, 20 marines from a ten man box. I think in total it cost me about an extra £10.

Then came the Wolf Guard, I bought a box to make a standard squad of 4 Wolf Guard and My Customised Wolf Lord. Unfortunately one of my miniatures went missing after taking them into work so my wonderful fiancee forced me to buy another box. (She really did, we had an argument in GW over it that left the staff speechless. It was the first time in their careers they have ever seen someone shouted at for not buying miniatures.)

This second set allowed me freedom to play around, from this I constructed a Wolf Priest, Rune Priest, a Wolf Guard, Lone Wolf and most importantly Arjak Rockfist.

I've added a few more embellishments to the army with a custom built Wolf Priest in Power armour and Some Wolfen.
Oh and I went on a massive scrounge to find all the missile launchers I could to make my long fangs.

All I need now is about six Razorbacks with converted las-plas turrets and I'm sorted.

So Images, first up Sven Bloodhowl. The fluff of this great company really ammused me. Gotta love guys who set themselves on fire for entertainment.



Sven Bloodhowl



That cape was a nightmare!

This guy won me Best Single Miniature on Grey Knights release day in the Middlesbrough GW Store.

Lone Wolf, Einar Stormcrow

Raaaaargh!

Grey Hunter with Mark Of The Wulfen
Another cunning conversion, the clawed hands are from the rear set of an old Genestealer. Then I just greens stuffed a little fur over the cuffs.

Hairy Palms, nights must be quiet on Fenris!

Ingvar The Bloody
Battle leader of one of my Grey Hunter squads.

Wolf Banner
Why wouldn't you field these? Re roll everything for a turn, yes please!

Blood Claw
The running legs really enhance the feels of these guys.

Finally...

Arjac Rockfist
This heavily converted miniature draws it's inspiration from the codex image. The Thunder Hammer was shortened to represent it's special ability (That of Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer).
The Shield was crafted plasticard and green stuff, the cape was cut repositioned and greened to fit and the anvil (perhaps the trickiest bit) was sculpted from a spare Thunder Hammer.
