Help name my chapter.

I'm torn between....

Bloody Hammers

Hammers of Blood. 




Any input is welcomed. The mini above is part of my Death Company. I gave him a magnetic jump pack / back pack.

Must have Unit

Hands down, Terminators! Ever since 1st edition of Space Hulk came out, I have been in love with the marines in Tactical Dreadnought armor. The very thought of these walking tanks in deep space gunning down aliens really appealed to me. And it just so happened that I was concurrently obsessed with everything to do with "Alien" (the first two movies, toys, comics, you name it) at the time. Needless to say, I like to include terminators in my army lists, even though they do not always perform as well as I would like. Below is a gallery of some of my models from the newest to the very early ones.

Space Wolf: Lone Wolf. I converted his wolf claw into a chainfist. using a chainsword with the teeth cut off on one side.



Some work in progress Space Wolves (Arjac in the middle).



Chaos Space Marine: Sorcerer of Chaos (HQ). Pink Terminator!!!! I think it is paticularly demeaning to my loyalist buddy when he faces these candy coated termies.


Though not technically terminators, more like terminators x10. Which is how much I love them....




Space Knights: This is my made up chapter (he's not quite finished) Gotta love the Black Reach set.



More Pink termies (unfinished)!!! I really like the pose of this guy. we need more plastic chaos lightning claws!



Opening the vaults now.....

Ok, this guy isn't supposed to be pink. My early attempt at blending red (came out kinda pink) Supposed to be a Blood angel.



More early paint jobs. These guys are gonna get the Dawn Paint remover treatment soon, and be converted to Space wolves.



My first Terminator.

My Warhammer Tattoos

Got a fresh hair-do, so I thought I would show off my Warhammer tattoos. I see a Space Wolves tattoo in the future.

Simple Mark of the Wulfen conversion

I wanted to convey the part about using "claws and teeth in close combat" specifically claws. I found a perfect claw from the old space hulk, plastic genestealers models. With the expansions, I have a ton of these old genestealers still on the sprue. Converting the model was a simple mater of cutting the Space Wolf hand off, and replacing with the genestealer hand. the genestealer hand just needed to be trimmed up a bit around the wrist. I love the pose of the outstretched fingers ready to "render" some flesh.

Versetality and Bargain of the Black reach Box set

I love the Black reach box set so much. I bought 2 of them and a buddy gave me his Orks. With all these mini's and a little plastic card, greenstuff and a few bits I have managed to put together 2 full units of 20 boyz -with Nob upgrades(photo in previous post), A unit of 10 'Ard Boyz (space marine pads for extra armor), and 7 Tank Busta's (plastic card/dowel rokkits). On top of that I have used one set of Space Marines for my Chapter of Space Marines (Space knights: also pictured in previous post), and the other set I plan on converting to Space Wolves with all the extra bits from the new plastic kits!

Ard Boyz (CSM shoulder pads, big shoota converted to Rokkit, Nob w/power klaw and boss pole), Primered with "Army Painter" greenskin colored primer.


Tank Busta's (Rokkit's, and Rokkit hammers made with plastic dowel & pastic card fins, Nob w/Power Klaw and Rokkit).  Primered with "Army Painter" greenskin colored primer.

Space Wolves

I held the new codex today. It was glorious! Since I just finished the Space Wolves omnibus, I've been really looking forward to this release. I the mean time, I think I'll order Ragnar Blackmane to hold me over.

Space Hulk here!



Fedex came to the door with Space hulk today. Good times. I put the minis together and the kids and I had a quick game. I had the original game back in 89'. I'll have to find some of the old minis and post them. The new ones are quite a bit better (understatement).
