Space Wolves nearing the end

So, I found a little bit of time this weekend (between getting smashed at Talisman) to get the bases of the wolf squad finished off.  Again, these are quick photos taken on my phone camera so don't expect too much.  So, first of all....

The bases.  I decided that just sand and paint would be boring, so I wanted to add a little bit more character to them.  A quick dig through my assorted ork bitz gave me some stuff to chuck on there next to stones.  The final touch, and I think it adds a lot to them, is the small pieces of static grass.  These are the GW 'Mordheim Turf'.  They are really nice, coming in a pre-made little patch of different sizes, costing £8.  This box should see me through at least another three or four squads.  Not too bad.

Then we have multiple shots of the squad.  I still haven't decided on the Great Company, but otherwise they are complete.  I tried to get a good photo, but without a proper light tent it wasn't going to happen.  Anyway, here they are:

Hopefully I'll get the company mark on there soon, then it is my first squad fully completed!

More hunters

More work today equals two finished Hunters, minus the bases.  Also some quick pictures, not the best I have done.

The first of the Pack

For those who read my previous post, a good month ago, will know that my lamp broke.  And now, it is fixed!  Well, actually I got a new one, an even better one.  I received it on Wednesday, and ever since been plugging away at a wolf.  A Space Wolf.

A while ago I decided that I needed another 40k army, this time something with armour.  And, being a lover of Anglo-Saxon and Viking history, I felt nothing sounded better than - VIKINGS IN SPACE.  Aka, the Space Wolves.  I have had a couple of boxes of stuff sat here since they came out, and just before the lamp went I converted (only very slightly) and prepared my first squad of Grey Hunters.

My Lamp Died!

Simply as said my hobby lamp has died. It just flickers now.  I'm looking for a replacement lamp, it must be daylight and it must be cheapish.  Anyone got any ideas?

A decade of Beards and Ale

My current dwarf army

As you might have guessed from the multitude of posts with them in, I am a dwarf player.  I have been one just just over a decade, they were my very first army and introduction into the Warhammer hobby.  I am looking to expand my army this year, but I thought I'd have a look back at why I started them and where I intend to go from here.  So if you dislike ale and beards (GODS FORBID IT!), you might not like to read on.
