Shrinky dink wraithone bases for wraithguard

I traced some cirlcles for the bases.  Then cut them into cool shapes, cooked the on the oven at 325 for 3 minutes.  Glued em down, and we got some wraithbone bases.

Apocalypse game

Here are some pics of the latest apoc game we played.  I had half my wolves in drop pods, and half in tanks or on thunderwolves.  The drop pod grey hunters got the most kills.  Great game.

Magnetized Wraithguard

So I won a local tourney with the new Eldar Codex, and won these beautiful wraithguard.  With all the options they came with, I couldn't just glue 'em together, so I started figuring out how to magnetize them.  I used 1/8" x 1/32" magnets from kj magnetics.  This shot has most of the important stuff in it.  The right arm you can see, has a magnet that I have trimmed to match the size of his wrist.  The magnet was just larger than his wrist, as you can see on his left arm.  I didn't drill into the arm, just glued the magnet right in top of the wrist.  After I started taking pics, I realized that his left sword arm doesn't need the magnet.  Just glue the left sword arm to the sword.  Or magnetize it for different poses, you don't have any other weapon to put in the left melee arm.

The other impotant thing on this photo is the small finishing nails i used for his hand.  You can see a full nail next to a nail that I have trimmed ready to insert into a drilled out wrist.  Use a nice, new, sharp micro drill bit, and drill by hand.  A dremel will destroy the hand in no time.  

Below you can see the wraithguard with a D scythe.  I just decided to put the head vanes and hip guards on with glue.  I like the look of them, and did't want to go crazy magnetizing every option.

Space Wolf Army

So I got everyone together for a family pic.  I need to figure out how many points there are all together.  There are 2000 just in terminators and drop pods.  I am going to airbrush the termies today, time permitting.

I am going to add a melta/plasma and regular guy to each of my grey hunter squads.  They were built for 5th, with a wolfguard with power fist in the squad. Also going to bring the blood claws up to 15 strong, with Lucas.  After the termies, I want to finish the thunder wolves, and get some actual Fenrisian wolves.

TDAWG Chainfist, Stormbolter

Drop Pod

Group all together.  Pods need some work. Comes out to about 1996 points.  Logic was 2 shooty, 2 choppy squads.  2 Shields per squad, chainfist, and heavy weapon per squad.  With 2 Power Armor Wolf Guard, I could fit a rune priest and 5 wolf guard per pod, which means I could get a heavy weapon per squad.

Wolf Guard Terminators

I have been getting excited about an all Terminator Wolf Guard army.  I have about 50 terminators to be put together. I am magnetizing all of them to be able to change out weapon load-outs after trying them in battle.

 Wolf claw and power fist adds 15 pts, for 48 pts.  He can choose initiative 4 ap3 attacks, or initiative 1 ap 2 attacks.  Both get +1 attack because the claw and fist are both specialist weapons.

 A little overpriced for the hammer and shield, but he looks dang cool.

 Only his left arm is magnetized.  Dark angel power sword arm there.

 Power axe and shield.  Only 48 pts again.

 I will get rid of the chaos star on the axe before painting.  I like the cleaver look though.

He has a claw back there.
Now only about 40 to go.

 Rune priest in Terminator armor.

 Two claws-again not the best use of points, but looks cool.

They all will be airbrushed like this chap.  The cyclone is magnetized, but I will probably just glue them on in the future.

Wraithseer and lynx in Progress

 Here are some projects I have been working on.  I still have some work to do on the wraithseer.  He has been a lot of fun to paint.  I started with a grey primer-a must for working with resin.  Then a cream colored spray paint.  I learned that when you get a good look with your airbrush, PUT IT DOWN.  I had a great fade from cream to brown on the wraithseer, and then wanted to add just a bit more, and ruined the whole effect.  After trying to recreate it, I was not quite as happy with the result.  Then I did a heavy gold drybrush across the whole thing, followed up by a wash of gryphon sepia.  I tried to draw attention to the face and gun barrel by making it almost white.  The spear needs some work, as does the base, and some touch-ups on the seer himself.

 

The lynx has only been airbrushed.  I like the blue/light blue effect I have going so far.  The sonic lance is magnetized to replace it with a pulsar whenever I get my hands on one.  

 Dang thing has a bend in the end.  I have warmed and bent it about 5 times, and have given up.  Same things on the vanes.  Warmed and bent them about 5 times, now I just put up with the bend.  Need a larger backdrop.
