Vlka Fenryka Update

This is where my pre heresy army stands at the moment. A few more stuffs and the army will be good for 1000 points. Pending completion as follows:

1) 1 Pre Heresy Rhino
2) 1 Wolf Guard Terminator
3) 1 Grey Hunter for Asgier's pack
4) 5 Long Fangs
5) 1 Drop Pod

I just ordered 4 pre heresy missile launchers from Forgeworld last week and it should arrive anytime soon. Can't wait to work on that! Tentatively everything should be finish by end of March, but then again will see hot it goes. In the mean time enjoy the pics below and comments are welcome. Laters..

Slowly creeping back to the hobby table..

Yup, as the title says, I'm slowly getting back to 'hobbying'. I've been really busy with the triplets and they really got me working! Imagine you have to feed them every 3 hours, everyday for the next 5 months, that doesn't leave me enough time to do anything let alone hobbying. But the good thing is I'm getting the hang of it, and trust me it does do you wonders if you organized things up. Here's my update so far;

Pre Heresy Vlka Fenryka

This is a continuation of my Vlka Fenrya project. As per the pics, this is Asgier Longspear's pack and part of 3rd Company. Nothing fancy, just the same method I used with the previous completed Space Wolves. 3 more models and I'm done with this pack.

Asgier Longspear pack

Wolf Guard, Asgier Longspear

Next, I wanted to finish a remaining Terminator Wolf Guard model then I'm good for 1000 points. I've been eyeing on that beautiful Contemptor dreadnought from FW. Was thinking of getting one, it will really compliment this pre heresy army.

Vampire Counts

With the newly released Vampire Counts Army book, is high time that I do something on my neglected Vampire Counts army. I got loads of free Warhammer stuffs from Austria not too long ago, courtesy of an Austrian friend who is living here in Bangkok. So I have this old Chaos Knight horse and have decided to use it as a Barded Nightmare for my Blood Knights. I kinda experimenting with Blood Knights and I came out with this color scheme. Basically is Red Gore washed with Badab Black and a dry brush of Boltgun Metal to have that aged and rustic look suitable for a VC army.

Next post I will include the Blood Knight himself, converted from an old Chaos Knight as well. Till then. laters..

Vlka Fenryka - Wolf Guard Terminators

Right, after almost 2 weeks of Hari Raya celebration (though not so merry in Bangkok) and food gluttony, its time to get back to the gym and of course, HOBBY! As the tittle entails, it's the Wolf Guards turn this time. I managed to finish painting 3 WG couple of days ago. Check out the pics below.

This will be my Wolf Guard Terminator pack lead by Sigurd Wolfbane (the guy with the Thunder Hammer) For a 1000 points army, I'm fielding 4 of them as a bodyguard for Ulvuruth Longfang or for the Wolf Lord. I'll update more once I finished painting the remainder of the WG.

 

Sigurd Wolfbane

In the next post, I will continue with the Grey Hunters and one remaining WG. Well, I have nothing more to add. Comments are welcome. Till then laters..

Vlka Fenryka - More Updates

I'm having a blast with this project at the moment. Never realized converting minis could be quite exhilarating. So this is my update thus far.

This will be my second Grey Hunter squad, led by the Wolf Guard Asgeir Longspear, as per pics below. I managed to base coat it last nite and target to complete it by next week. I'm working on a Pre-Heresy Rhino as well for Asgeir and his boys.

Asgier Longspear

I did some conversion for a Pre-Heresy Terminator. Actually I'm not a fan of the antiquated Terminators broad shoulder pads but to capture that pre-heresy essence, I'm willing to accept. As per the pic below, my first trial run for a pre-heresy Space Wolves Terminator with a cyclone missile launcher. The shoulder pad are actually bendable cardboard including the parchment jutting below the shoulder pad. Added some green stuff for the fur at the top portion and a Havoc Launcher for the Cyclone Missile Launcher (apologies for the pic quality, used a camera phone) For me, it looks great so far and will update further once I finish painting it. That's it from me for now, till then laters..

Pre-Heresy Space Wolves Terminator

Vlka Fenryka - Ulvuruth Heoroth Longfang

I got this guy done few days ago. He will be the Rune Priest of Tra Company, known as Ulvuruth Heoroth Longfang as per the Prospero Burns novel. A Vlka Fenryka army would not be right without their 'gothi' or rune priest and this guy fits the bill perfectly. I'm not sure if did this guy pre-heresy enough but I'm satisfied with the result.

There's nothing really to it really, 90% of the model came from the Space Wolves bits. The staff however, I used the banner pole from the Chaos Warrior sprues and I attached Space Wolves icon or symbol, whatever you want to call it, so it looked like a gothi staff. Finally some green stuff for the fur.

The base was made of polystyrene, at first I want to use cork, but I got like tons of polystyrene from my store room so I ended up using that. So basically I cut it up to proportionate size, and base coat it with chaos black. Then drybrushed with codex grey and space wolves grey. Finally flocked it with snow. That's it people. Till then, laters..

Vlka Fenryka - Hakon Gudbrand's Pack Completed

I managed to finished my first pre-heresy Grey Hunters pack including the Rhino over the weekend and I must say, I'm totally happy with the result especially with the addition of the MK 1 Rhino. I love the snow so much,  I even sprinkled some on top of the Rhino, just to show that they're really in a snowy environment hence befitting the Fenrisians winter climate. This is Hakon Gudbrand's pack (my own fluff) of Tra Company (3rd Company) as per pics below;

Hakon Gudbrand's Pack

This is only the beginning and I promise more pre-heresy goodness coming your way in the near future. In the meantime enjoy the pics and have a great week ahead. Laters..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vlka Fenryka - More Grey Hunters

Hi guys! As promised more updates on my Vlka Fenryka project. I managed to finish a few more Grey Hunters as per pics below.

What would be better than to have a pre-heresy Rhino to accompany your pre-heresy Astartes. I got this used Rhino cheaply from a ebay, so I bought a few since my pre-heresy Space Wolves would be pretty much mechanized. Will update more on this once I finish painting it. For now enjoy the pics and I will see you guys in the next post. Oh, to all my Muslim brothers, may you have a blessed Ramadan Mubarak.  Laters..

Vlka Fenryka - First Grey Hunter

This is the first Grey Hunter for my pre-heresy Space Wolves or the Vlka Fenryka. It took me the whole day to finish this guy (while working from home)and frankly I love the result. I mentioned before that I used Chaos Warriors, Space Wolves bits plus some green stuff for my conversion and this model is no exception. The only thing I would like to improve is my sculpting especially the fur and the mantle. I'm taking my time with this project so I'm in no hurry to finish. I've posted pictures below, comments are welcome.





I will start on the second model soon, well not too soon. Till then, laters..

Test Model Done

Well it finished sooner than expected and here it is. The painting was pretty simple which involved lots of drybrushing. I didn't do anything fancy albeit it looks good enough on the table.


For the armor, I used Chaos Black, Adeptus Battle Gray, Fortress Gray and Badab Black. First I primed the model with Chaos Black then drybrushing the whole model with ABG. Once its dry, I washed the whole model with thinned down Badab Black. Finally a drybrush of Fortress Gray to bring out that stone grey color of pre-heresy Space Wolves. I admit mine is bit darker than the normal pre-heresy color but I kinda like it this way.




The fur was based with Scorched Brown and drybrushed with Snakebite Leather. The faces were painted using Elf Flesh and and a wash of Gryphone Sepia (I love this wash!!)

Ok THAT's it for now and I really need to finish my Night Lords Stormraven and four more Jump marines before I got pulled further into this project. Laters..
