I haven't had much time to do stuff with a Bachelor's thesis I'm working on all the time now, so not much painting progress and I just didn't have what to post on Monday. I'm clueless on what to post next week as well, but I'll try to think about something. Silly posting schedule! 

Anyway, to the point, back to the Terminators! Today, the second part and the other five men!

There are all brand new and share some interesting features, at the end of the post.. Starting off with Liufr Fireeater. His name doesn't come from nothing, but more on that later... Currently he is equipped with the standard terminator loadout, storm bolter and power weapon.



Eyvindr Frostwind, the second man-Cyclone. This one also has standard loadout aside from the rack of missiles on his back. I would say he is close to being my favourite terminator as well!



This terminator, Snorri Sharpclaw, has actually been made from an AoBR terminator. Could you guess that? I reposed him a litle and added wolf parts and he turned out quite damn well if you ask me.



Kettil Njordsson, with the thing to chew through vehicles in combat, in addition to shooting. He turned out very.. golden. He seems to have the most gold on him from all of them.



And Yngvar Bjornsson the third storm shield that might come in handy when there's 10 of them.



Now for some details shots, Snorri.


The storm shield detail along with the sword. I painted it rather blandly to make it stand out from Rune Priest's Runic Sword. I didn't like re-using that part, but I didn;t really have any other sword.


Fireeater's details.


All that gold...


"I'm looking at you and that means you're screwed"


But that's not it, the terminators come with some more features. First of all, I don't neccessarily need 3 shields, if I want to minimise the cost o the unit...


Assault Cannon was just too pretty not to paint it. An awesome weapon!


But if I ever deployed them in a Land Raider, perhaps Fireeater could live up to his name...


And finally, to minimise costs even further, in case I didn't need that much AT...


And that's it for now. Hope you liked it! Feel free to leave a comment.

Time to change the army for a bit. Since everything I had to paint for the Guard is done and posted, time for some Space Wolves again! Taking off with my favourite models, that I've put off for too long. I decided to split the post into two parts since there's plenty of pictures here. Each and every terminator is unique, so I got details shots of every single one. On with the show! 


Starting off with the group shot of the first five. Perhaps you can recognise one of those from an earlier post!

First man, Randolf Shieldwall carrying a power weapon (originally intended to be a frost blade, but they aren't really worth it) and a storm shield.


And his back!


Egil Eitrisson, combi-melta and a power fist. I really like that guy!



Halvard Freyrsson, the second PW/Storm Shield. He has been painted in the second batch and I think it shows and he look a bit better than the other ones.



Hjalmar Bjornsson, the second melta guy. This one has actually been converted out of AoBR terminator sergeant. I think he fits the squad really well now after some wolf-ification!



The one I have posted a while back, painted a long time ago - the Cyclone totting Hrodgar Irongrip.



Now for some detail shots. Egil's Combi-melta - I added some runes on the chainsword bit.


Detail shot on Hrodgar's wolf pelt and chest.


Halvard, seen more from below, since he's leaning forward quite a bit.


Hjalmar's leather tabard and helmet.


Shieldwall's shield.


And that's it for the first bunch. Not many words in this post, but hope pictures more than make up for it! Stay tuned for part 2, which is a bit more interesting!

Female Cadian Snipers! Now that I got your attention - Something that probably most of you have been looking mostly to. I have checked the statistics that Blogger started providing with the redesign and the first post on it is the 4th most viewed post on this blog of all time. Wow! I hope I will not let anyone down. Without further ado, the 304th Sniper Squad!

The all-female sniper squad that is count-as Ratlings. If you are interested in the modelling process and parts used I will just refer you to the main post on the subject. And now, on with the pictures! Many, many pictures, starting with an obligatory group shot!

The first sniper, one with the neat hair. Also the only one using original plastic sniper rifle.


Aaand the back. The camo cloaks aren't perfect, I was considering adding some static grass to get something similar to this, but in the end, dropped the idea.


The "sergeant". I really like how she turned out! Of course Ratlings don't have snipers in the codex, but this is the 304th vet squad pretty much!


And her... backside...


The very characterful "I don't give a damn my hair looks like a pot".


Casually smoking a lho-stick and waiting for the target to come into the field of view.


Another blonde, they also seemed to have turned out the best! This one is aiming at something coming close. This also shows that those gs sniper rifles aren't really too perfect.


Although they did turn out much better than I had anticipated at first. You cannot tell the difference from a distance and even up close they don't look particularly bad!


The hooded one. With a strange face too.


As I said in the modelling post, the hood feels a bit off, but overall the model is nice.


And the helmetted one! Unfortunately turned out to be my least favourite of the bunch, but she still looks quite good!


Also she's the only runner in the squad!


And that's it. That was the final update for the Guard for quite a while to come. There's other things I want to add, but mostly the Guard is done. I dropped the idea of a third platoon for now, since the ammount of cash needed is a bit too much for me now. Instead I am finishing up the Space Wolves and need to start painting those damned Dark Eldar as well!

Anyway, I hoped you liked them as much as I did! Let me know!
