Finished all my terminators! Well sort of...

Hey my peeps!

Back again with a little update! The last few weeks I've been busy with my terminators. I've had them for a very long time, but I was always too lazy to paint them. For the most I had 2 terminators actually finished. The rest were primed, based and magnetized and until recently I decided to finish them all. And here they are!




Okay okay they are not entirely finished... I still need to fix a few things here and there and make sure every model is up to date with the rest. Still need to base them and put decals on though.
The ones I finished a long time ago are the ones in the front with the hard highlights. Honestly I do feel they pop out more compared to the rest where I made highlights much smoother and look kinda bland when I see them on the table. But still, I'm very pleased with the results!

Next I made some really nice purchases! These models were priced with 50% discount! I couldn't believe it, but it was true!


Also I purchased Lucas the Trickster and I'm really excited to paint him. He also looks a lot of fun to field, especially against Chaos! Well that's it for today and probably my last post this month!

Thanks for reading and cya next time!

Venerable Dreadnought with Fenrisian Great Axe and Blizzard Shield

Hey Peeps! Quick update on my dreadnought, it's pretty much finished and also finished the first weapon option. Behold the Venerable Dreadnought carrying the Fenrisian Great Axe and Blizzard Shield! (Sorry for the lighting, was very late and couldn't wait xD)






Overall I'm quite happy with the end result, but I still have trouble with the runes. I might revise when I get the chance, but for now it is definitely tabletop ready. Of course I still need to paint other weapon options, but everything in time. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

First taste of blood and dreadnought almost finished

Hello Peeps!

A close friend of mine asked for some time to play a game of Warhammer. I was going to visit my parents (same city where my friend lives) and bring some stuff for me to paint, but luckily I had enough models with me to play a few games, albeit with small armies wortharound 300 pts. each and heavily improvised.

THE ARMIES:

Space Wolves Betrayers: 303pts

Krom the Betrayer (Wolf Lord) & Cyber Wolf
- Wolf Claw
- Bolt Pistol
- Belt of Russ
- Frag 'n Krak grenades
- Teeth and fangs (Cyber Wolf only)

Venerable Dreadnought
- Helfrost Cannon
- Powerfist with Stormbolter

Space Wolves Hunters: 303 pts

Ulryk the Hunter
- Rune Staff
- Plasma Pistol
- Wolf Amulet

3x Grey Hunters
- Bolt Pistol
- Bolt Gun
- Chainsword

3x Wolf Guard Terminators
- Pair of Wolf Claws
- Thunderhammer and Shield
- Stormbolter and Powerfist

My friend decided to play the "Space Wolves Betrayers" and I ended up to play the other team. Honestly I kind of forgot how the games played out since it was last week we played the game, but we played 2 games and I lost both of them. I still feel the armies were pretty balanced though, I just had a good amount of bad rolls and wasn't able to do any significant damage at all. He played the game right by using the dreadnought from a distance and destroy as many models before they reached for close combat.

In the first game I still had a good amount of models left to destroy him, I think I only lost 1 terminator and 1 Grey Hunter when I finally reached close enough to charge into close combat. However I failed a pretty close charge move and ended losing all my units except for the terminators who did ended up in close combat against the dreadnought, but wasn't able to destroy it for 2 turns and ended up losing the battle. In the second game I lost more models before reaching close combat but managed to kill the Cyber Wolf. This time my HQ fought with his HQ, ended up losing the fight and 1 terminator going against his dreadnought and again not being able to destroy it. Eventually my team got eliminated pretty fast again by the 2 powerhouses.

All in all 2 fun matches and hopefully I was able to convince my friend to start playing warhammer as well. Would be fun to know more people to play against.

Also I've been busy with my dreadnought the last couple of days and I'm close to finishing the model.




I'm actually quite close to finishing it now. I need to brush up and finish some of the details and then it is finished. Afterwards I still need to do the options that I am going to magnetize for the dreadnought. I'm already quite pleased how it looks right now.

Well that was it for today, thank for reading and see ya on the flip-side!
