Forge World Biker boss (summary and big pics)
In my last post I had some feedback for larger pics of the forge world biker boss... so here you go. Just click on the pics to bigify. I leave my albums as unlisted in Picasa, but if you are viewing the big one, just click on the album link on the right and you should see all the pictures I've taken of this mini. I can answer any questions you might have in the comments.
Biker Boss Complete
Ok, so he's not totally, completely, never to be touched again finished, but I had a deadline and this is how finished he was for that.
More Biker boss progress
I'm back to working on this guy as I have a deadline at the end of the month. Some more progress, and realistically its just a bunch of small details left now, so finishing him shouldn't be a problem. Here's some pics of the checker pattern I'm doing on his shoulder pads. I've also corrected the red/pink problem by giving the red stuff a GW blood red glaze.

Fenrisian Wolves Conversion
Here's the finished Fenresian Wolves made from Dire Wolves, Goblin Wolf heads and Green Stuff.

Space Wolves Motor pool WIP
Here's a couple pictures of the vehicles I've been working on for my Space Wolves. I think this is where using the airbrush really pays off. On vehicles you can really get some nice effects fast and easy. I still need to add some more detail and some weathering, but they are already shaping up nicely.
Most of these started with a dark blue coat (I skipped the black undercoat I usually do) and I layered progressively lighter coats of blue-grey on the higher portions of the armour.

40k tournament batrep
A quick battle report on the tournament at miniwargaming.com last weekend. It was a 1750, 3 game tournament with different missions for each game. I fielded my space wolves for the first time and learnt a bunch about them.
1). Canis was pretty ineffective and drew a lot of fire. He would have been much better with some more wolves around him to absorb fire (I gave him 2 wolves as wargear).
2). The long fangs + cyclone terminator + logan grimnar combo is super expensive and not very effective. A drop pod full of close combat wolf guard would have been much better.
3) Blood claws kind of suck. I had 15 in a land raider crusader and I don't think they really accomplished much all game.
All that said, it was my first time playing with Space Wolves (and space marines for that matter) and I won 2 of the three games and had a draw on the other one. The first game was against eldar and I was destroyed in close combat by some harlequins and an Autarch. I didn't win because my opponent was able to contest all of the objectives. The second game was against imperial guard with lots of tanks and 2 vandettas. This was a commander kill game and went quite well (even though I took heavy casualties). The third game was against Tau and I got hit really hard from the beginning (he stole the initiative and popped my land raider in the first turn). I managed to win with objectives, but another turn or so and I would have been toast.
The list I took looked something like this:
HQ
Logan Grimnar
Canis Wolfborn (with 2 wolves)
Troops:
15 blood claws + wolf guard
5 Grey hunters + wolf guard in a Rhino
5 Grey hunters + wolf guard in a Razorback
1 wolf guard on attack bike
Heavy Support
Long fangs + cyclone terminator in a drop pod
Landraider crusader with multi-melta

Trygon Warpstone Painting contest - Winner
I managed to paint up the Trygon I was working on for today's Warpstone National Painting contest at my local GW (Burlington Ontario). There was some stiff competition and I managed to win by a hair over Trygon Prime that had an amazing scenic base (and great paintjob). I've posted a full article over at www.miniwargaming.com including all the paints I used and lots of pictures. Here's a couple of the finished product.
Trygon Painting WIP
Here's a couple pics of the Trygon work in progress... Since I'm painting it for Matthew over at miniwargaming.com I've used his colour scheme. I airbrushed the base yellow colours and some hightlights, but the red has been all by hand. I hope to add some highlights with the airbrush, but we'll have to see how that works out. I had hoped to get further on it last night, but I still have a ton of stuff to finish.
Trygon assembly
Here's some pics of the brand new Trygon kit going together. I'm going to be painting this guy up for Sunday's painting contest at the GW store in Burlington... should be fun.
The kit goes together really well with only a few seams needing some putty. It didn't take long to assemble, but the head is going to be hard to magnetize in order to get all the options (I think). Anyway, here's some pictures... I'll be posting more about it once I get to painting it.
