Showed my wife how to play Warhammer 40.000 using 2nd edition rules. She’s a seasoned D&D and boardgame player so she picked it up fast. She took the Space Wolves while I brought my “trusty” Bad Moons. Good back and forth until the wolves charged and while the big teef Orks held out for a […]
To be fair I always thought the banners on wh40k minis was absurd. So I didn’t make any for my Orks, but my Space Wolves came with banner poles so I decided to make some banners. The Grey Hunter Sergeant and Corporal have matching banners each sporting half of the head of the Fenris Wolf […]
These will probably be the last unit I will paint for my retro Space Wolves. I decided to paint them like I painted my Grey Hunters and Long Fangs, but with red hands and weapons to honour their Blood Claw name and I like how it makes them slightly distinct. They also have different decals […]
I got this Wolf Guard Champion with my Ragnar Blackmane mini and since these guys can appear on their own leading more junior units, I thought I’d paint him up and use him to add a few extra points boosting a combat unit, My “Winter Wolves” as they are at the time of writing this.
What a treat to paint! When I first started painting him as the Grey Hunters, the Speed Paint technique didn’t work at all. Not knowing what to do, I just left him while I painted the rest of the Space Wolves. I finally took the plunge and tried to paint him to match and it […]
Having finished a few units and a few characters for my Space Wolves, I now have enough to field them against my Goffs. So I made two 820 points armies with no psychics and minimum wargear cards to keep it simple. Set up I’m playing the Space Wolves and my friends Carlo, who I normally […]
Another retro Space Wolves character I painted alongside my Ragnar Blackmane. As much as I enjoyed painting Ragnar, I also enjoyed painting Njal. I always liked how magic wielders in the Warhammer 40.000 universe was as strong and powerful as their combat counterparts. None of that fragile weak body thrope of D&D. Njal and Ragnar […]
This mini was a treat to paint. I mostly paint what I need to play D&D with and sometimes it means speed painting for the next session. But my Oldhammer projects don’t have a specific deadline so I paint these just for the fun of it. And I was fascinated by the Space Wolves when […]
Second unit from my Oldhammer Space Wolves loot. Same paint style as the Long Fangs. Not much else to say.
I had the surprise luck of finding a whole pile of Space Wolves from 2nd Edition Warhammer 40.000 recently and I’ve always wanted to paint an army of those chaps. Now I finally get a chance and they can be the opponents of my Oldhammer Bad Moon Space Orks. I’ve primed them with Dark Grey […]
Sometimes you come across something unique and that was the case with these three boxes somebody locally was selling. He never played Warhammer 40.000 so the boxes and the miniatures and all the bits they came with were left untouched. I will paint these in lighter grey sort of making the winter versions, Winter Wolves […]
