What's the deal with the last Wolf Lord? Digging the spiral designs and stuff. Is it converted?
I prefer the lighter greys for wolves, but I can't deny this is some really decent work. Nice ;)

@Torn Blue Sky: Thanks for your comment. :) The guy indeed is converted; arms are completely repositioned, the legs are from a third party supplier (they come with the riding wolves) and were converted a little themselves, the Bear skin is basically scrachbuilt and so on. The runes are sculpted, yes.



Update!

Hope you like them so far. Not much to say apart from that so good night! :p

I love the coloring with the blades. The red really offsets from everything else. Overall this commission is comming along nicely for you.

Same here, I was thinking of trying to copy that but then I realised that that might not work too well with the baby-blue scheme I've got now. XD

@all: Thank you for your comments. :) Keeps me painting.


Wolf Lord finished:

Five more Terminators finished (still need snow on their bases though):

Next up: The Wolflord's Thunderwolf and Wolf Scouts.

As for further future plans:
1.) Seer Council on Jetbikes. Sadly just a relatively low-level paintjob but I'm looking forward to seeing the miniatures. Not sure when exactly this one will actually show up though.

2.) Another Step-by-Step Painting Guide I have been announcing for some time now. I'm trying to get it done by the holidays at the latest. The task is a little daunting because Other than the Blackguard Musician, it's a miniature I have no complete recipe prepared for and it just takes a long time to do this kind of thing. But it should be good, I'm still looking somewhat forward to it.

3.) Death Korps commission is fixed now but probably won't commence b efore the holidays. Like all commissions. I have about three or four commissions lined up for "early January" if nobody bails out.

4.) Finishing Space Hulk, the Khornies and the Nightbringer.

Alright, that's it for now, see you later!


Edit: A-HA! Update!

I have to admit that the shin armour in the first picture doesn't look just as awesome in real life as it does in the picture. I mean, I blended it smoothly and all but it's also partly freaky lamp reflection. Didn't take another shot just because I love how it looks in the picture. ;) I need to fancy the armour on the wolf up anyway so I didn't have to do it perfect this time around.

Niiiice! I'm a big fan of the termies. Never was a big fan of bareheaded marines so my favourite is definitely the one with the helmet. ^^

@Meph: Thanks for the reply. While I don't mind bareheaded Marines, there definately are too many of those around in SW boxes (all awesome heads but just too little helmets). All in all, I kept a 50/50 ratio on the Terminators. The first bunch of Terminators I did some weeks ago had four guys with helmets and one bareheaded one. Pictures of those should be in my first post on page #1.

Minor Update on the Wolf's armour:

@mattsterbenz: Many thanks for the compliment. :)

Holy cow, it's highest time for an update in here!


First off, sorry for the lack of updates lately. In the past weeks I wrote many e-mails, worked on a project I can't post yet but plan to post during the holidays which took a lot of time to do, Finished a few older things of the Sci-Fi kind and so on. There's sad news as well - the Chaos Dwarfs commission guy isn't reporting back. Last thing I heard was something like "perfect, I'll post the miniatures tomorrow" and that's it. Nothing since then. I still hope that this thing is happening and I hope the guy's fine.


On a different note, here's something new I'm doing:

Pretty much the whole Dwarfs range by Dwarf Tales miniatures. Excellent miniatures of which you may have seen two already in the Mortheim warband I did earlier this year. I'm painting these for a German video broadcast called Magabotato. It's a weekly show about tabletop gaming and everything surrounding that. They're doing a new episode each week and get up to five thousand views per episode.

Make sure you have a look at their videos. Here is a link to their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Magabotato

First off, new pictures of the Wolf Lord:

The "ROLF"-looking runes on the wolf's armour didn't really please a lot of people so those were changed. Plus, I added some more detailling to the wolf's armour and redid the base a little bit. Next thing on my list: add snow.

I'm also currently doing four more Rhinos/Razorbacks so the Long Fangs and the Wolf Guard don't have to walk around on their paws:

Here's the more fancied-up Rhino of the Wolf Guard, also showing the Razorback version:

Stormbolters for the Rhino versions and other gubbinz are also mostly done. The Rhinos need some more dirtying up and weathering and the tracks need to be finished. That's it then.

See you soon! :)

Honestly this is a great looking army. If I had the money I would hire you ( and I never hire others to paint for me).

Really digging the freehand on the rhinos! Awesome work. Simple is usually the most effective! Your skillz with metallics, i've noticed is also really really well honed. Cracking job. Are we gonna get a full army shot when you're done?

@Meph: Thank you very much.

@Empchild: Great compliment, thank you Sir.

@Torn blue sky: I'm afraid that's not possible as I sent most of the army to the client already but I'll do a group shot of the Wolf Riders, the second Lord, the Rhinos and the second squad of Scouts when I'm fully done.


Tiny little update on the Space Wolves - Rhinos/Razorbacks are now dirtied up:

See you soon!

Pretty... Is the weathering done or are you still going to rough 'm up a little? There's nothing better than some good graphite rubbed on some edges, either directly from a pencil or scraped off first.

Btw. you're having trouble with your photobucket..

Thanks for the comment. The weathering basically is done but I might give your graphite Idea a shot. Oh, and I have to add some smoke marks around the exhaust pipes.

About my photobukkit - yeah, one of my accounts' bandwidth just melted away in December. Finally took the step and "went Pro" (as the photobucket people would put it ;) ) for a month. Mainly to test it. Try refreshing the page or Crtl+F5 if the pictures still don't show up.
