Space Wolf Drop Pods and more Moria Goblins

First up is the Drop Pod. I painted three of them for this army, though only one is pictured. All the colors I used are the same as the other Space Wolf figures I've done (They are listed below somewhere, but feel free to ask if you can't find them). The interior was mostly drybrushed. The weathering near the base of the pod was painted with thinned Graveyard Earth, followed by Earthshade and thinned black paint.

Next up are some more Moria Goblins. This is the second to last batch for this army (which is already pretty massive). I was not able to get a picture of 36 or so more Gundabad Blackshields.

That's it for now. Coming up next: More Space Wolves, High Elf Dragon Princes, and maybe even a showcase quality miniature painted for myself.

A few more Space Wolves

First up we have the 5 remaining Grey Hunter figures. I used the wolf head helmet to display Mark of the Wulfen on two of the models.

Next up are the 8 remaining scouts.

Coming up next: Space Wolf drop pods

LOTR figures, and lots of them.

Here is the bulk of a large Gondor force I have been painting. The painting is a little more on the "basic" side of things, to keep speed up and cost down.

Lots of Space Wolves coming up next. Stay tuned!

Some Dwarves

Here are a few Dwarf models that I've been working on. They have been mailed and are in their new home in Idaho.

After I took the pictures I realized I forgot to paint the horns on the banner. That was taken care of right away but I didn't manage to get new photos taken.

Up next: More Space Wolves, and a bunch of Lord of the Rings figures... Gondor to be exact.

Some Finished Space Wolves

Here we have the first batch of finished Space Wolves. There are a few scouts, and then 20 Blood Claws.

These pictures don't have my usual white background. They were taken at the Scottsdale Games Workshop store on their nice gaming tables.

I think I've listed all the colors used in previous posts, but if there is something I missed feel free to ask. I'm happy to share.

Up next: Dwarfs!

Finished Sea Guard and some Space Wolves

First up we have some photos of the finished Sea Guard unit (25 figures) and the hero.

I believe I have listed all the colors in previous posts, but if there is something I may have missed feel free to shout.

Basing: Sand and a patch of pebbles applied with Elmer's glue. After that dried, the sand was painted with Burnt Umber acrylic ink (made by Liquitex). Drybrush of Bestial Brown, followed by Bubonic Brown. Rocks were painted with Codex Grey and then given a brown wash. Edge of the base was painted with Scorched Brown, and then patches of static grass were added with super glue.

Scorched Brown reminds me of something... There's not a great equivalent to Scorched Brown in the new range of paints. Rhinox Hide is too dark. But, I found out a great mix: Rhinox Hide (about 3 parts) and one part Doombull Brown gets you a great replacement. So, if you find yourself needing to match models that were painted a while back, give that mix a shot. 

Anyway, on to the pics:

I've also been working on some Space Wolves. This army is being painted to "Level 2" standards (Most of the stuff on this blog is Level 3 or higher). Level 2 is a little bit simpler and quicker, which makes a painted army much more affordable. This Space Wolf army has a lot of figures, so it makes sense to have it at Level 2 instead (Characters will still be Level 3).

The Grey Hunter test figure:

And some Scouts:

 And here are 10 of the Blood Claws (The army will have about 30 I think... That's why there's three power fists in there).

The color recipes for Level 2 are nearly the same as with the Level 3 figure from the last post, just a little simpler and with less highlights. 

The armor, for example, is a basecoat of The Fang, followed by a wash of Agrax Earthshade. The Fang was used to touch up areas after the wash dried, and then Fang+Russ Grey was used for highlights. 

The Wolves are waiting on decals and basing. I like to do all of this at once, so I'll do that when I have some more figures finished up.
