Started work on a new project, an army based on the Wolfspear Chapter.
Finished a couple of test models, and converted a captain to lead the force.

I had to look these guys up, they're pretty cool! And you did a great job. The leather work is especially impressive.
-
Thanks!
When I read the white dwarf article about them, I knew I had to make an army of them.
The leather is just gore-grunta contrast paint on grey seer!
Made some progress last night.
I had built an Infiltrator squad out of half a box of reavers, and spare parts I had kicking around from the easy-to-build infiltrators. Most of the backpack ariels are broken, so I'll have to replace them when I eventually get a box of incursors. I primed them last night, as well as the Captain, and started work on him. I also have a picture of the rest of the reaver squad, which is half done.
all of this is 24pl, so that means I have enough to start with crusade games (once I finish painting).

Cool to see someone finally taking on the Wolfspears! And right here on the forum no less ;D!
They look wonderful, Killersquid. I agree with Godspeed - that's some great leatherwork you created there.
Looking forward to seeing more!
-
lots of very nice work. The face paint and hair are stand outs :)
-
Looking stellar! I love that you didn't go with the default snow base and great job on those flesh tones too. Really impressive work there.

Thank you very much :) The hair is just Gryph Orange contrast paint, very easy!

Thanks man, The Wolfspear, are a fleet based chapter, so I wanted their bases to look like they are on a ship (or something like that).
Thank you!
Spent some time last night working more on my Phobos Captain.

He looks great! I'm impressed with the face. And the limited metallic details add a nice touch. And yeah, still love the leather details.

That's some smooth grey-white 8), love to see it!

Thanks! it's just apothicary white contrast paint, over greyseer base. Then I edge highlight with Ulthuan grey!
Finished the Phobos Captain, and started basecoats on the infiltrators.

Recently, I sold some older models, so I used the funds to buy a few kits to add to this project.

Nice 8)!
Can't wait to see all this come together.
I am bracing for an imminent Aeldari release myself next year :D.
Keep it up!

A buddy in my club said the same thing about the future Craftworlds release lol. He's been selling off some of his models, getting ready for it.

Eldar has been my main love and army for almost 30 years. Im patiently waiting and hoping for some good rules and plastics. Hoping no disappointments this time.

Well, as long as there is one or two new kits, that'll be a huge improvement of all their previous codex releases lol. The bar is set low. Eldar has been so dominant competitively for so long, I'm pretty happy they have their time out of the sun ha ha.
For the wolfspear, Been busy with building stuff.
Built enough models for a 1000pt game agaisnt my buddies Tyranids, which was a lot of fun. Looking forward to start getting the rest built and more paint on the models!
Also, finally finished my Reiver/ Hounds of Morkai squad. Currently building my stormspeeder.

Awesome board, terrain, and armies!
How did the game go :)?
-
It was one of those games in which everything went well for me, and nothing for my opponent. Besides his hive tyrant being invincible, so wasn't a fair test of the army. I also have a lot of rules to learn.

I love this army! It's so visually striking. The power armour is just beautiful. So smooth and clean. The colours pop so well!
Special mention to those bases! They're really pretty. Might have to go back and redo my Escher bases having looked at those. They're soooo pretty!

Thanks for the kind words. The armour is very easy, just a coat of contrast paint, and an edge highlight! Makes for easy power armour.
The bases is just a lot of washes and drybrushes. Really enjoy working on them.
Small update. Got the first unit of infiltrator's done. Working on my Stormspeeder now.

Small update, WIP on Stormspeeder.
(https://i.imgur.com/LI4LowD.jpg)

Another update. Stormspeeder is almost done, just gotta finish the base, a buddy 3D printed a base for me, but it was a little small (80mm instead of 90MM), but mostly fits. Hard to photograph. Also, started on some eliminators and Incursors.

Amazing job on that speeder! Great placement for the decals and just that hint of green on the missile pods really just helped the finish. The only thing that bugged me was that only one guy had his eye lenses painted, but I am sure that's on the way. So happy that you painted the speeder and put the riders in after, which allowed you to better paint the interior. It allowed such a better overall finish and better painted riders, which I find so many people just ignore in place of getting it finished for the tabletop quicker.

Amazing work on that landspeeder, but I am loving that leather cloak on that sniper! (I forget the unit name)!
Keep up the work!

I think I did all the lenses could just be the photo too. It would be way to hard to paint them inside the cockpit. I'm such a messy painter, so it would have been a nightmare with the white armour!

Thank you very much. The Cloak is just snakebite leather contrast paint, with a hughlight of Zandri Dust, so very easy and quick!
Small update, been working on a squad of Incursors, only have 32 infantry to paint after these guys are done.
My plan for my 2000pts list is the following.

Hey folks, small update.
Finished my incursors, which is exciting. Also, I'm very excited about the news from Warhammer Community today (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/01/13/war-zone-nachmund-vigilus-alone-unlocks-a-sneaky-phobos-clad-army-of-renown/) as that is my army! (minus the speeder...)
Also, I took some better pictures of some of the other units.

Great work as always KS. The Eliminators and Infiltrators are super, but the real star of the show is definitely the Stormspeeder for me. Such clean lines and such a nice finish. I need to reiterate just how much I love your colour scheme. Really nice, with excellent use of complimentary spot colours.
Just lovely all round.

Hey folks, been busy the last month, so painting has been slow. But, I finished my second unit of infiltrators, and my LT in phobos armour.

Today I'm bringing out the whole 2k (including the 23 unpainted models shame I know), for their first game. Excited to start getting the feel for them on the table.
-
Congrats, Lord of Winter and War, the army grows again :) ! Hard to believe you painted all of this since around November - that's a lot of brushwork to make it look this good! The new squad looks awesome.

Thanks! I feel like I'm really slogging with this project, but Real-life (wife, puppy, work) takes up a lot of my time lol.
Had my first game today, Forgive the pictures, my buddy just finished building his army so it's a sea of grey. Play agaisnt Genestealer Cults. Made some horrible deployment mistakes, but fought back pretty well. Lost 60ish to 90sih, so not bad considering how badly I messed up lol.
I was pretty happy with my list. My Librarian with the Armour of Russ, and my Hounds of Morkai were the MVP's for sure. Genestealer cults just had a lot of multi-damage attacks, and lots of bonuses to hit/wound and re-rolls, it was pretty crazy how devastating their shooting was. looking forward to getting in my practice.

Hi friends, small progress today.
I bought a third box of las-fusil eliminators (no pictures), which I think will be good fire support. Also, I built and painted a new Phobos Wolfguard.

Looking like I might want play that new Vanguard-Spearhead army of renown, but I can't use my stormspeeder. What do you folks think would be a good way to replace that 160pts? I'm thinking a unit of supressors, and then 60pts of just extra hounds of morkai or infiltrators. Not sure though.
-
Looking lovely KS. I would like to ask the Phobos trooper how the hood helps him be sneaky though ;)
You're definitely producing a high quality army to be very, very proud of.
-
I like the first ones pose. He's like " here, check out my cod piece." Good tactical ploy to throw the enemy off. Haha. The guys look great, beautiful paint work. Keep at it.
-
More stellar work, Killersquid - your army gives me Solid Snake vibes if he were a legion instead lol. They look so killer!
-
looking great, very clean :)

A hood makes him so much more sneaky! The whole 9' tall, and bulky power armour is completely negated by the hood lol.

Hi Folks, Been busy the last few months, but I have made some progress.

Wolves howling at the moon. With the space wolves ive always seen werewolves(loosely) but lunar being the moon.
-
Well that's one hell of a badass looking chapter you've got there ! I'm going to watch the progress of these guy's with great interest they look super slick !
-
I feel I need to say again how amazing your colour scheme is; it has such a nice balance of warm and cold tones. I could definitely see it being a colour scheme produced by the GW guys.
On top of that, you're executing at such a high level. Outstanding work.
-
Thanks again everyone for the kind words!
Played my second game with the Wolfspears against Aledari on the weekend. He was new to the book, it was a good practice for getting the army out. My opponent misinterpreted one of his abilities, which had a huge effect on the results of the game, and we didn't realize until afterwards, so we decided not to count it as a win for either of us. It was certainly very fun deploying models all over the board, and then re-deploying with Lords of Deceit. The Captain in Gravis armour was fun to use. With Hunter, he moved 5", advanced d6+2" and then could charge 2d6+2", so he was very fast.

great looking board setup and having two painted armies looks awesome :)
Is that table at a store or at a home? I like the setup, room to store reserves and books and stuff.
-
It's at my buddy's place. The table were originally made to accommodate 6'x4' tables, but put in foam inserts to make it the size for 9th edition games. This has the added bonus of giving a bunch of extra room to store models!

Ah right, I forgot they changed the game size. I felt like the table looked small xD, What was the point size for the game?
Cool board, very GW style in the amount of terrain I feel like. Poor eldar guy, got boxed in really fast during the game it seems. A cool looking Saim Han on that side too.
But yeah like all the other guy's, I have to stress how amazing your color scheme and painting skills look. And once you put everything on the board it just looks amazing. I noticed on the i Victor warsuit, you have a lighter color under the decalco, on the shoulder pads, but barely brighter. How do you do these highlight on the bulbous metal pieces?
Keep up the good work it's a really coming along cleanly.
-
I boxed him in, but he tabled me in three turns lol. It was a 2000pt game. The pictures were taken after deployment, most of my army can deploy outside of my deployment zone.
-
Arf... Eldar are kinda busted as beslubber at the moment not gonna lie. What was the rule he miss read by any chance, since I play eldar too. So I don't make the same mistake.
-

He had four farseers, and he thought that the eldrich storm strat repeated the whole damage for each psychic action, so instead of just once.
So, he read it that (assuming each farseer completed the psychic actions)
The first farseer did d3 mortal wounds to all units, the second would do d3+1, the third d3+2, and the fourth d3+3,
So he did 4d3+5 mortal wounds to my units, instead of d3+3. So in one eldrich storm he killed my librarian, one warsuit and four units of primaris marines.
Turns out, not the case lol. But that basically ended the game for me.
-
Alright, finished my last 5 reivers, so finished the models I bought back in Novemeber. 2000pts, with an option of Phobos or Gravis Captain.
Took some pictures of in front of my Fat Mat

I didn't mention the metallics on the cables for the snipers, but holy crap that is sublime.
-
Ooooffff. Seriously good looking army you have there. It's an incredible spectacle and it looks even better when you move in to check the details. As I've said before, it's just such a clean, coherent colour scheme that ties every model together so naturally.
Excellent work.
-
Just absolutely mind blowing - I love how crisp that white-grey is! Beautiful! I don't see how you paint so fast and keep up that level of quality - but I'd love to gain that ability over time, haha :).
How much of the army do you have to go?
Keep it up!

Thank you! I have a LT and a squad of Suppressor, and I'm done working on these guys for a while. My next plan is to build a display board for them, but I think I will work on my terrain collection first.
-
Yup that army look amazing. Nobody can say otherwise.
Are you planning on making your terrain piece as part of you display shelf? Like usable diorama kinda thing or are you just free styling both?

Mainly for when I go to tournaments, you're often graded on having a detailed display board when they consider scoring for appearance awards.

That captain looks sick!
On a bit of a tangent: your army made me realize how much the SM range has changed since the early 2000s look when I discovered the hobby. It's a whole different vibe to them now. Less boxy and blunt. More... tech-y? Not sure, just made me think.
-
Thanks!
The Primaris range certainly has a new aesthetic to it. I wasn't a huge fan of the space marine models until they came out, I like the tacti-cool look about them, particularly the phobos line.
The hover vehicles I think are really cool, especially once I had them in hand, I eventually want to get some more to go along with the gladiator.
