So the new color scheme has been chosen...

It will be fenris grey (I use sombre grey), wash it black then dry brush sombre, then 50x50 sombre/Space Wolves and then a real light dry brush of Space Wolves.

That is some fast marines. :) Gunna remove the basing from the ones that were done and then make Rik put the base paint on all my marines. ;)

Will get some pics up of some done marines here soon.

Taking steps to get this damn army done!

So I sit back and look at my hobby table all the time... and just think... I dont want to paint another 70 effin marines. Hell man, I'm having a hard time painting one. lol... But that is how many marines I have waiting to be painted... Over 70... and thats not counting my Land Raider, 2 Preds and 4 Rhinos. I see that and it makes me puke a lil in my mouth.

The newness of the army and playing it is gone. I dont know if you know what I mean, but I can only compare it to a video game. So you buy a new video game and you play the hell outta it... not even beating it, just play the shit outta it for like a week. Like NCAA 12... played the hell outta Michigan and building a crap school into something good... and I havent touched it in forever. That is what happens to me and armies. I get all excited, drop hundreds of dollars... build it all... play some awesome games with it... and then get bored.

So to take steps to finishing my army, I think I am going to repaint even the 20+ I have done and come up with a much faster and easier paint scheme. Something with a base coat that I dont have to mix three different paints for with a heavy wash and a dry brushing. I dont normally dry brush things and perhaps that will help me become a better dry brusher.

Anyone have any ideas on a quick paint scheme? I like the idea of a more blueish color, but I'm also leaning towards a dirty grey... maybe a lighter grey with a black wash? Anything that will look decent, really. haha

Take care!

Sky Claws are done!

So I changed up what my army would look like at the end. I finished making 10 Sky Claws... cause I really dig Jump Packs and the aspect of suicidal troops is good for stories. :P So that means there were less Blood Claws. I made the Blood Claws a pack of 15... cause I just dont use them at all. I mean why would I? Grey Hunters are so much better for the same price.

So my final Space Wolves army will be...

Bran Redmaw
2x Wolf Priest
1x Rune Priest
10x Wolf Guard in Termie Armor
7x Wolf Guard
1x Dreadnought
15x Wolf Scouts
4x 10man Grey Hunters
1x 15man Blood Claws
1x 10man Sky Claw
4x Rhinos/Razorbacks
7x Devestators (2 Lascannons, 3 Plasma Cannons and a Missle Launcher)
2x Lascannon Predators
1x Land Raider Crusader

Now I have to prime them and get them base coated... theeeeeen I might get them all done up. lol I'm struggling to paint! I'm trying to change the way I live... getting up earlier and planning to start working out.. things like that. Now I just have to get back into painting and getting this army done. :)

Now that I look at it, thats a pretty decent army. What, around 2500 points or more? Pretty good stuff.

Have fun.
