The Wolfling Project

In progress: the Razorback Cor Semper Fidele "Always-Faithful Heart", for the Lamenters Chapter Space Marines.

Standard basecoat: Army Painter Daemonic Yellow over a thin coat of white primer. In this state they're pretty much a Schoolbus of Death.

I've done some detail work. Masking those larger checkerboards is tedious, but produces a clean look with a little clean-up on the edges. The door is one of my custom Lamenters Chapter designs, engraved and cut on an Epilog laser machine at TechShop.

Lamenters Assault Marine.

Here's the test model for some Assault Marines (guys with jetpacks). I used more highlighting and tried to be careful about the areas of sepia wash over yellow.

Note: photos are about 250% enlargements (the figure is 30mm tall).

I made about a dozen wine glasses as gifts for a Thanksgiving party. The images are from a quick Google search of "cornucopia," cleaned up in Photoshop and converted to a transparent GIF.

Recent corrections and research at the local game shop:

• Space Marine Command Squads are not retinues. Clarified via recent change to C:SM FAQ.
• Assaults against a vehicle only auto-hit if the vehicle is immobilized or did not move in the previous turn. Rulebook.

Here's the version of Stelek's 5x5 game we've been playing.

5x5 means: 5 objectives and 5 kill points.

How it works:

• Set up the board and place terrain as per WH 40K rules.
• Roll to see who goes first.
• Place one objective in the center of the board.
• Starting with the player who goes first, each player places another objective on the board, which must be at least 6" from a table edge and 12" from any other objective.

I'd need a Banewolf + scratchbuilt vehicles to run this. Retains a PCS + 20 guys with ACs to bubblewrap vehicles.

HEAVY SUPPORT

Here's a chunk of the Lamenters, in the middle of a Purity Seal treatment.

The circles at the bottom are laser-cut, hand-painted objective markers. I also made other copies in smoke-colored acrylic, as well as ones for Imperial Guard, Ultramarines, and Chaos.

I've also finished weathering and customizing two rhinos.

Here's the Rhinos with a couple of occupants, along with their new-style shoulder emblems.

"We're often told that there are no shortcuts to success -- that it's all a matter of hard work and doing what we're told. The hacking mindset takes there opposite approach: There are always shortcuts and loopholes. For this reason, hacking is sometimes perceived as cheating, or unfair, and it can be."

Read it.

Take a look. Although in today's marketplace "Existence for Dummies" would sell better.
