wolf standard

Here are the last two members of the pack. One as you may notice is carrying a wolf standard, these allow the pack to reroll all rolls of a 1 during a combat phase. This would be great for my good friend Pat to use, he always seems to roll a 1.Originally I was planning to do a free hand design on the flag, but it was getting late and this LBM transfer was crying out to be used.

Heres a couple of pics of the start of my board, all pretty simple and basic just to try a few things out. If i am feeling brave the next one may be a little more elaborate.

leader of the pack

Here is my wolf guard pack leader, armed wth power fist and plasma pistol. I have not played 40k 5th edition yet as i have been busy with all my other wargaming interests these last few years. I did buy the rules when they came out which was around the same time i sold off all my armies, well planned as ever.... 

I will try and get a few games in before the 6th edition comes out next year.

I am going to try my hand at making an arctic conditions terrain board to go with the space wolves. Here is a pick of my helping hand Grace scrubbing out all my careful sculpted tank tracks. You gotta love 'em! 

2 more wolves join the pack

more tomorrow

leaving comments

I am having trouble leaving comments on other peoples blogs. Everytime i try to leave one via my google account it keeps asking me to sign in, then i go around in circles for as many times as it takes me to get pee'd off and give up without making a comment. Sorry to all those great blogs i follow but cant comment on at the mo. If anyone out there is more PC tech than me (which to be honest is everyone) please leave a comment hopefully explaining the answer. If your no better at PCing than me then you may have the same problem which means you wont be able to comment anyhow ;0)

right back to the snow

the pack keeps growing

A couple more wolves join the pack. I am having fun in the snow, notice the snow covered skull.

Space Wolves

I have finally finished another space wolf and based the first test figure. I went for a snowy base, which was something I had never tried before. I bought a tub of citadel snow effects when it came out 3 or 4 years ago for a project which i never started. I painted the bases in my usual way adding some slate and grass. I then painted patches of white, over the white i used PVA glue and then dipped the bases in the tub of snow. I did this twice to get the depth of snow I wanted and I am happy with the result.

More to come tomorrow! 

Punic citizen infantry

I finished off another couple of units for Daves Carthaginian army. 21 citizens and 10 Libyan skirmishers all manufactured by Grippingbeast. I have used LBM transfers on the citizens, the Libyans have free hand cow hide shields. The Lybians have some funky tribal haircuts and it was hard not to paint tattoos on them.
   The pics were taken outside in the garden in another surprisingly sunny afternoon in Manchester.
   Now I need to decide whether to start my next Republican Roman  unit or finish of the first squad of my space wolves?
