Strike Force Wulfgar

I have to say I'm extremely proud of this point,  here is the army 1750 points fully painted.

Not the best photos probably but heck here they are.

Nearly 12 months in the making, long nights at the desk painting,  lamenting on army lists and colour theme's.

And thus tomorrow i venture into my 1st tourney and hope to win at least one game or at least conduct myself in honor and not get tabled 6 times.

For those about to Dice

So here I am, ready and waiting for tomorrow to begin and what will hopefully be a fun tournament and with any luck I wont lose every game over the weekend. It goes without saying that I will be sacrificing plenty of upstart foolish astartes to the Daemon for good luck!

 Sorry JP, your Ulhfen Templars make for tasty treats

I shall endeavour to record as much as I can over the weekend, Happy snaps of nicely painted armies and battle reports so you will all have to hang tight but until then I shall leave you with some photos of a commissioned project I did for my mate Jon-Paul for his Ulhfen Templars. This is payback of a sorts, a thank you if you may for painting my Daemon Prince for me for the last tournament as I was running short on time just as he was on this one :P

 

I've also redone a couple of my objectives in the interim, I just wasnt happy with them before but I think they are a little more... chaosey? 

Anyway next time I post it will either be with an air of joy or a photo of nicely painted models in the trash... no maybe not the models I worked so hard on... it will be the dice in the trash instead :D

Brother Anliefer

So here he is one of the last pieces of the puzzle in the current army.

Have to say pretty happy with the outcome so here is Brother Anleifer

Lord Haldor's Guard Squad "Rangvalder"

Ok so today we have Guard Squad "Rangvalder"  Lord Haldor's Personal Body Guard in his Razorback Osvalder.

Leader of the Guard is Hróðarr centered with his power axe.   

Should have some pics of the dread up later tonight 

cheers

!

Squad "Thor"

Im looking to redo the Units as I complete their Vehicles for the Army.

Additionally The forces here will be part of  "Strike Force Wulfgar".   Harley "Astral Wolves" and I will soon be using Sons of Taurus's (http://sonsoftaurus.blogspot.com/) campaign as a starting off point for logging the Events of of the Volundr Incursion.

Squad Thor is Lead by Blade Master Dragmáll Seen above, 2nd in command is Eiríkr seen in the 1st picture.  


In the early part of the Campaign the squad used the Strike Cruiser HRÓÐGEIRR's drop pod to support the strike forces operations, later it would transfer to its designated Rhino for combat operations.

An example of the Drop Pods Used in the campaign to support the Ulhfen's operations against the Astral Claws. They not only saw extensive use with Strike Force Wulfgar but also in support of Strike force Horthgar as well in the later stages of the campaign. 

Work In progress shots of

Sorry for the delay in posts but I have been busy getting ready for Kill Count this weekend. The last few weeks have been a blur with play testing and painting. Im down to the last few models ( a dreadnaught and a drop pod) .

I thought I would put a few shots of the dread as I paint him. Looking to have him completed tonight so will have completed shots up soon.

Codex Blood Angel sneak peek

So due to interest I thought to give a sneak peek to the BA army im starting to work on. Its early days yet as the Astral Wolves is soaking up a lot of my time preparing it for a tourny, but in the background Im laying down the groundwork for a project thats been waiting since I was a little boy!

This is my first model and there are definitely some things I'm going to go over and redo but for the most part the colours are down.Ive yet to decide on Helmet colour for the regular assault marines but tip of the hat to codex BA with Yellow helmets is leading the charge right now.

So to give you a little background on what I'm hoping is to be a very exciting project! Many years ago (back during rogue trader days) I was given a copy of Space Crusade. In this I was given 3 codex chapters, The Ultramarines, The Imperial Fists and the Blood Angels. The fluff that came with that wonderful board game on the chapters was surprisingly detailed considering the quality of production at the time and in that fluff it was the Blood Angels that stood out as my favourite. fast forward a couple of years, being a young man I didn't have the patience, materials or the skill to paint, but paint some BA i did. It was about then that i saw my very first quartered space marine in the dark pages of a White Dwarf. Ever since then I've dreamed of being able to do such a chapter but have lacked the means or wherewithal to proceed.

So here we are, with a yet to be named Blood Angels based, Knights Templar themed army. Im planning on doing roughly 20 Assault marines, 5 Honour Guard, 5 Sanguinary guard, 2 Sanguinary priests, 2 Land speeders and my own custom built Dante for a 1500 starting point. Will this take over from the Astral Wolves? I'm not really sure but I must say Chaos has its certain charms :D

Everything here is still very much WIP, the Chapter symbol at this stage is purely rough copy but needless to say Heraldry is involved. In the coming weeks as i start the long string of conversion work that will be involved I shall endeavour to keep regular updates but until then enjoy and as always feel free to comment and drop suggestions.
