I have already made a wolf lord.

I will make 3 more thunderwolfs with replaceable heads to get some variety when I make the cast wolfs.


I haven't begun with the third one and If you are interested I can make a tutorial how I make my thunderwolves.

A penny for your thoughts.

ps: is the pictures to big and if they are I will be sure to fix that next time. ]]> Work in Progress and Project logs Paandrik http://coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35613 Drexel, Havrik, and Reyviande http://coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35612&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:27:54 GMT Three of the upcoming 8 new releases from Red Box GAmes. :) http://coolminiornot.com/237421 http://coolminiornot.com/237422 ...

Haven't posted anything new recently but I still have been doing a bit of painting in my spare time. So here are a few miniatures I have painted this year (I have many half finished projects as well).

First of all is an Empire wizard that I painted back in febuary.



WIZARD

The next one is a Sister of Battle. I really wanted to have a go at the lightning technique on the sword and this seemed a suitable model to try it on.



SISTER

The last figure is The Chaplain in Terminator armour. I have painted this one before but it is a great miniature and really nice to paint, hopefully I have improved since my first version. I had planned to enter this one at games day, almost managed to finish in time but I didn't want to rush the final bits.



CHAPLAIN

Hopefully will have some new stuff soon!

Now im a man of leisure I figured it was time to try and up my standards and get some stuff posted again. This way I get good feedback and a reason to try to paint better so here goes.







still need to touch up some chips where I dropped the nose heavy git and am tempted to add some snow and kill the shine on the armour and the leaves.

Currently I'm in the throws of assembling up a 'Wolf army - going along great guns but hit a bit of a puzzler. In an effort to make life easier to paint my mini's I've left the backpacks off, as many recent 'Eavy Metal painting guides show. However I'm currently at a complete loss as to how fix them onto anything to actually undercoat, paint etc. I can't be the only person who has done this can I?

This is the one that I bought since the website said it's a fluid medium.

I didn't realize there was an actual "fluid" version. Is this the one I should have gotten to mix in with my thinning water?

I was looking at the west wind productions figures, and some of the fantasy lines are really nice (especially the coach). But I can't find the scale anywhere...the scale on the ww2 figs is 28 mm, but I'm not sure about the rest. Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: noticed that it says genereal scale is 25-28 mm......anyone have some west wind figs with their gw or PP figs? 25 mm would be too small I guess... ]]> General Discussion ecthelion http://coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35606 Various partial-completed projects to sell (space wolves and more) http://coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35605&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:39:55 GMT Over the next few weeks I may have more of these "wont likely finish" projects to sell.
