Hi everyone,
Finally I have finished the modelling of the
Swiftclaw Attack Bike, and I can move on to modelling the
Dreadnought. I have to say that I enjoyed modelling this project. I forgot how rewarding it is to model armies like my
Space Wolves. Mainly because they are gaming pieces and I don't have to bother with getting the details perfect. I just have to give the
impression of them being right.
Below I have a selection of photos for anyone who wants to take a better look at the work. The first pictures show the details like the straps on the knives, the
Tyranid ribcage, the
wolf skull on the head-lights and the
wolf tooth necklace I added.
The next set of photos give a better view of the driver and gunner. The heads are from the
Dark Angel's Raven Wing box set, which I
wolfy-upped a bit. If you have not seen my other
Swiftclaws or
Blood Claws, then you should know that I like to give them what I call a
Rune of Acceptance. This is the rune on their right shoulder pad that every
Blood Claw strives to have removed by ascending to the ranks of the
Grey Hunters - well at least in my mind that is how it works!
The last set of pictures brings the bike and riders together. One last point I would like to make is that I know that the kit does not come with a base, but I did not like the discrepancy in height created without one when placed near the other bikers. So I figured out a workable/game playable size to place it on.
That is it for today. As usual I will be back next week with more stuff. I am quite confidant it will be more
Space Wolf related work - but who knows what can happen in a week's time. The last model in my small force that still needs to be worked on is the
Dreadnaught. After that I will start painting the elements of my force that are still unpainted. Then I will move on to new units like
Lone Wolves,
Wolf Guard Terminators and
Wolf Guard in standard armour, as well as
Scouts and
Fenrisian Wolves.
Until then farewell and good health,
NR
