“When they strike they inflict a dreadful wound, deadly where it lighteth” – SAGA Scots project pt.3

Greetings cattle thieves and vagabonds! Welcome back to another article covering the muster of my Scots warband for SAGA. In the previous part I covered the bulk of my army, namely the Kern and Irish runaways, seeking fame and fortune within the ranks of a Galloglass raiding force. In this article I will show you my first unit of painted Galloglass, as well as talking about the material culture of the Scottish mercenaries roaming the countryside of Ireland and the Hebrides.

“Loose young men” and violent desperados! SAGA Scots project pt.2

Greetings and welcome back to the Den of Procrastination! Some years ago I set out on a journey to paint and collect a new SAGA army of Scots. I even blogged about the plausability of a high medieval Scottish army of rebels in this post but failed to summon enough Mojo to carry through. At least in the sense of completing the army within reasonable time. Fast forward a couple of months and there’s still no army to be seen – but I HAVE been stroking along on a miniature-by-miniature basis. In this post I’m going to revisit the Scots project and showcase some progress of my redshank troublemakers.

Baby got Razorback – Vlka Fenryka army project log pt.9

Calling all warriors of Fanhalla! It’s been a while but lo and behold the Alpha is back at the paintstation. I will give a more thorough runthrough of my experiences from the last No Retreat tournament in Gibraltar – where my Wolves did quite good considering I had only played 3 games with the new codex prior to the event. In the meantime here are some pictures of my recently finished Razorback, and Rapier Quad Friend-Maker.Read More »

Speaker of the Dead and Great Company Ancient – Vlka Fenryka army project log pt.7

Hey again reader! I know I’m bothering you with nothing but Space Wolf content, but with the No Retreat 7 tournament around the corner all I’m doing right now is  #makingspacewolvesgreatagain. Another week have passed and this time I managed to finish my Runepriest/Speaker of the Dead, and a Company Ancient (or some sort of veteran) standard bearer. Here are some pictures!Read More »

Brothers in wolf – Vlka Fenryka project log pt.6

This weekend I managed to maul through another 10 power armored dudes for my Space Wolves army. I finally finished the lascannon Long Fangs, as well as another 5 Tacticals/Grey Hunters. I’m really enjoying the different painting stages and color palette for this army which helps a lot when you have so many marines to finish. Next up on the table is a unit of Wulfen to finish my No Retreat 7 army, and then I will probably  branch off deeper into 30k again with another Leviathan Dreadnought and some Rhinos. Here are some pictures of the finished units.

Another pup to join the pack – Vlka Fenryka project log pt.3

Heyooo vikings of the e-fjords! Welcome back for another week of hobby therapy. I’m currently working on a really nice tutorial on how I painted the battle-damaged power armor for my Space Retrievers. As it is not quite finished yet, and since I found a really nice inspo-wave to surf on this weekend, I managed to paint up my Leviathan Dreadnought in one go – I snapped some pictures of it for you to feast upon as I continue on the painting article.
