Space Wolves - Wolf Guard Progress

Work has been pretty hectic of late, which means little time for modelling / painting.  A few things arrived this week - ironclad dread, scout bikers and some more forgeworld stuff.  Also managed to pick up a chapel of sanctuary - interestingly it needed no painting, unlike most GW stuff. It's actually pretty nice, with some plastic stain glass windows.

Anyway, I have been working on my Space Wolves "wing" of my army this week.  In particular the Wolf Guard retinue that tag along with my Wolf Lord.  I'm reasonably happy with how they have turned out.  The bulk of painting has been done on two of the Guard, just some touching up to finish off.  Will try to get the Lord done this weekend as well for a Sunday blog update!!

Heavy Flamer and Frost Axe Wolf Guard.

I tried a different technique with the Frost Axe from a White Dwarf - November 2009 edition I think - the one with the Beastman on the cover.  It's an attempt at a "crystalline" weapon.  I thought that the Frost Axe could have a mirror-like ice finish to it.  More pics below.

As you can see, he isn't quite finished, but is looking alright.

The Heavy Flamer guy I didn't take as much time on, especially his power sword which I think I may redo.

Also managed to do some more modding of my "primarch".  Which after a bit of deliberation with Exarch Sammy J - I think he may be integral in the new background fluff that I've been considering.

The wings are from a Bretonnian Pegasus Knight.  Makes him look pretty formidable I think.  Thanks again to Exarch Sammy J for the idea. 

Before I sign off, one last pic of the Forgeworld dreaddie that I got this week. I'm going to modify him a bit to become my death company dreadnought with Blood Talons.
