WIP: Shadespire Steelheart’s Champions Bases
Hello everyone, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted on here. This year has been extremely busy but I’ve still managed to get some painting done. Today’s post will be very different as it’s solely just about bases. I enjoy basing composition and painting...
Showcase: ‘Eavy Metal Masterclass Faces by Lecoqadoodledo
Hey everyone! Lecoqadoodledo here with a little showcase of some faces I worked on a month ago. I painted these for a seminar I ran recently on painting faces, and I needed a few examples of what a hobbyist can achieve with the techniques I...
Showcase: Space Wolves Wolf Lord on Thunder Wolf by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. I really enjoyed painting and building this beast! I used a ton of bits from different kits to create my Warlord. I tried to make him look older but still badass, so I chose the eye...
Showcase: Space Wolves Rhino by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with one of my Rhinos! I really liked the Repressor kit from Forgeworld, and decided that I wanted to mix some Adeptus Sororitas, and Wolves together. I also used a few wolf icons to make it fit into my army even more.
Showcase: Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought by Big Sam
Hey guys, Big Sam from United Painting here again. Here’s my Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought! I thoroughly enjoyed painting this model as it completed my small force. I started playing this guy in mid 7th edition and everybody kept asking me why I’d bother playing...
Showcase: Space Wolves Wolf Guard in Terminator Armour by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with my Wolf terminators. I decided to use the wolf style helmet from the Grey Hunters kit to make the wolf Terminators look a little more different from the rest. In addition, I trimmed off one barrel of each Storm Bolter, and replaced...
Showcase: Space Wolves Drop Pod by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with a look at my (only) wolf drop pod. In regards to customization and conversions its quite light, but I think it a clean and simple enough job to still come across as wolf-y. I decided to go with a wolf grey, and...
Showcase: Space Wolves Long Fangs by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with a revisit of my Space Wolves army! Today I have a pack of Long Fangs, with Missile Launchers. I felt that the stock missile launchers themselves were a little lacklustre and not very wolf-y, so I decided to add some flair by...
Showcase: World Eaters Warpsmith by Uruk
Hey folks, it’s Uruk again, with yet another World Eaters character. More inside! This is another model I bought and meant to use in the last edition in a then-existing formation. Warpsmiths had a few decent ones, and I was trying out a lot of...
Showcase: Space Wolves Grey Hunters by ComradeQuiche
ComradeQuiche here with a revisit of my Space Wolves army! Here I have three 10-man strong packs of Grey Hunters. To keep the packs easy to tell apart, I chose to use three different pack markings on their right shoulder pads. I also played around...
