The Wolf Time

I have been working on a project - building forces for an old Rogue Trader mini campaign "The Wolf Time".
Currently I am focusing on the Space Wolf forces.

28mm epic Blood Angels Captain

Yeah it has been a while...life keeps me busy! I graduated at UCO, got married went to foreign lands and am living a life of high adventure....

I have done a little painting and modeling in there too. My goals are to do a whole lot more after this month.
Here is my Blood Angel Captain from the Epic Rulebook Cover. If anyone happens to know this guys name - please share!

The Rule Book

Adding Some Paint Epic Commander

WIP Lamenters

Lamenters WIP

I should be working on my test for class but...

My Shoulder Pads came in!!!!






I am a happy camper.
I just popped the shoulder pad off of two of my Marines for some test pics - so they are quick paints - no dry brushing or highlighting yet.

I got them from here:

New Drop Pod! Thanks Ben!

My friend Ben made me a nifty new drop pod by using modified plans from HERE. Ben has only been wargaming for a short time...I brought him to the dark side by leaving my codexes out and loaning him some books...Yes I am am evil and I created a monster! Ben and I have made foam core buildings, converted flayed ones using this tutorial HERE (scroll down to see our flayed ones)and having Ben to do this stuff with has really pushed me to get some projects done. Thanks again Ben!

Here is the primed Drop pod with a Razorback that just changed from blue to Black. Most of my tanks are 2nd hand so I have had to disassemble and repair them before repainting. When you are poor sometimes you skimp 8). I am using my sons Landraiders Heavy bolter turret - I am going to have to buy a turret eventually.

Again the drop pod and the other side of my RazorBack

Drop Pod with either - Red Griffin captains or Red Griffin honor Guard for what ever leader I decide to go with....What do you think? I can only have one Captain but I could field a bunch of my OOP captains as honor guard.

Before Painting

I added a paint can top for an engine. if you look at the primed pics. Do you think I should remove it or leave it?

Stern Guard Pics

Well I put the Decals on my Stern Guard and my ancient Predator Tank last night. Putting Decals on these guys is a little bit of a chore.

I bought Some Red Griffin decals from Armor Cast about six months ago - I was happy camper when they came in...until I put one on. They do not show up over black because the ink is too thin and needs a white background. I did not want a white background. So I complained and they sent me some gold, white and some more red Griffin decals. Ummm not what I wanted. So last month I started doing some experiments - I tried putting a white griffin decal down and then putting a red griffin on top of it...it worked but it was not the right color red.

I then tried a white decal then inked it red ..presto I found the combination I needed.

Side Note on the Predator Tank:

My Chapter was originally known as the Vindicators and they were a Dark Blue Color - The tank has had four paint jobs since then and it has the word Vindicator decaled on it side - you cannot see it in the pic because it is painted over - but you can see it when you hold it. When I put the name on it there was no VINDICATOR tank in existance other wise I would have left it on there as the tanks name.
In the first game I used it in in 10 years a month ago - 1st turn took out my friends Necron Monolith!

Since I already posted my Contest entry...

I figured I would go ahead and post another RT figure - amusingly enough the same Captain they are giving away at GWpertinent. LOL If I happen to win the contest I will paint the additional captain in my new chapters colors.
