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 »

Hammer time! – Vlka Fenryka army project log pt.8

Hello wolfaholics and welcome back to the final Space wolves update before I fasten my seatbelt and travel to Gibraltar to attend the 7th No Retreat tournament! I have been procrastinating my Wulfen unit for a very long time, partly because I wanted to get the conversions right, but also because I have been afraid of laying my brush on them. Today I’m happy to show you the result of my latest weekend paintathlon. Buckle up, put on some MC Hammer and get ready to collect some skulls!Read More »

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

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.

Avenger Strike Fighter in French WW1 blue

I have been painting a lot of blue armor over the past weeks! Not only for my Space Wolves army, but also for a good friend of mine who recently decided to commission me to paint all the vehicles for his Death Korps of Krieg. I have a weak spot for Forgeworld models, and Imperial ones in particular, so I had to take the offer. I was also very happy that he wanted his vehicles similar to the blue French WW1 uniform – heavily weathered ofcourse. In this article I will run you through how I painted the beautiful Avenger Strike Fighter from Forgeworld. Whether you want your vehicles blue or not, you can pretty much follow this tutorial using any other color.Read More »

Tizca shall burn! – Vlka Fenryka project log pt.5

Have you ever had that annoying sibling who believes in sparkly magic and loves candy red clothing? Well chances says you have, but fear not because there is a steaming hot cure all the way from the forges of Fenris spelled A-R-M-O-R-E-D F-U-R-Y! I managed to finish two new war machines for my Space Wolves legion this weekend, and thought I might as well throw some pictures up before I take some well earned vacation. Enjoy!Read More »

Tutorial: How to magnetize a Sicaran Battletank

Hello and welcome back you plastic pervs (!) to yet another update on my Astartes project! It is almost time to prime here but before I can paint up my latest batch of models I had to conduct some plastic surgery on my Sicaran. As I could not find a decent magnetizing tutorial online, and since I had my camera within rapid fire range, I figured I might as well document it all for you. In this article I’ll take you through the whole process of magnetizing the side sponsons on a Sicaran Battletank, so that you can be that guy who changes weapon loadouts faster than a GW fanboy can spell F-A-Q.Read More »

Imperial Knight(s) showcase pt.2

I finally finished the remaining batch of Imperial Knights for a guy at the local club. He wanted these two titans painted up in the heraldry of the Ultramarines chapter, as they would be used alongside his army of Ultras in either 40k or 30k. Im really happy with his decision on going all out on the magnets for the project, since it allows for some cool posing and changing weapon loadouts between the (now three!) Knights. The armor plates were painted in a three color gradient: from imperial dark blue to a light ultramarine tone. Decals and other markins where then applied before adding weathering, chipping, and streaking effects to the Knights. All of the back weapons were kept subtle (Black w/ grey) in order for the owner to be able to use them on other models as well. After deliviering the Knights I told the client to take a closer look at them at home and get back in touch with me if he wanted anything changed, polished, or touched up,  as I want to make sure that he is 100% happy with the job – they are centerpieces after all!

 

Here’s a short spin of the models!
