All Together Now…
So I did get to work on these guys at home Thur night. I finished up the last 7 Grey Hunters to the same standard as everyone else, (3 layers on the armor, weapons/packs/helmets/joints in black/silvers/wash, gold details). That makes 17 Grey Hunters and 12 Blood Claws based on what I could get colour primered…

Washes: They make it dirty!
I didn\’t finished up as much over lunch as I had hoped, sidetracked as I was with tasty, pot-luck goodness during the lunch hour, (and I wasted a goodly spot of wash to boot), but a decent pace I suppose. 10 models of 17 got their SWM Soft Body Black wash over VGC Chainmail Silver.…

Bless me models, for I have sinned…
…it has been one week since my last paint session. LOL! Ok, that irked Desert Foxx when I said it via IM, but I had to do it again. BWAHAHAHAH!!! Anyway, it took a full week to get back to painting what with the return to work from vacation, a trip to the dentist for…

Brother Wolf: Journeyman silversmith
Finishing up with the Blood Claws today. I chose not to do any washes and to focus on cranking through some more VGC Chainmail Silver. Packs, pistols, helmet & ankle tubes, etc. I think for Thur since Grey Hunters only have packs & helmets, (I really hate bolt pistols), I may be able to crank…

Back from the Land of the Lotus Eaters
Having returned from a week in Key West, I was thrust back into the hectic maelstrom of corporate life. It was a struggle to free myself from the velvet grip of the Florida Keys, it\’s siren song all too powerful. Such is the lure of the land where every sunset is a celebration. The land…

6 packs & 4 pistols. That's pretty f'n ninja!
Last painting day for a bit. 🙁 Anyway, I did manage to get 6 of the 12 Blood Claws up a step or two. 6 back packs, 4 bolt pistols, 4 helmets and 8 sets of joints, (add in those two Grey Hunters), all got some treatment today. VGC Chainmail Silver w/ SWM Soft Body…

Silver & Black (Raider Nation)
Another lunch hour done, another little bit painted. VGC Black still holding up well in the wet palette, I plopped some VGC Chainmail Silver down and a spot of SWM Soft Body Black Wash and I was able to get the teeth & running gear silvered, touched up and washed on 10 Blood Claws. I…

And now for something completely different…
While Space Wolves were my first Space Marine army, Imperial Guard were my first 40K army, (if you can call 10 Catachans & a Chimera an \’army\’). Realizing it would take a long time to assemble a true army, (cutting my teeth on Necromunda, I had no real concept of the numbers of minis I…

Always bet on black!
Just a quick lunch update. I managed to get a simple coat of VGC Black on the chainswords and bolt pistols of the 10 Blood Claws shown at left. I also got a little black on the bolter and bolt pistol of a pair of power wielding Grey Hunters. This is mostly due to the…
