The Line of Durin

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while but I have been busy painting some exceptional hobbit models. This selection of models included Thror, Thrain and young Dwalin from the battle of moria.

Hope you guys like them.

Making Necron Sacarab Swarms More Swarmy!

Ever since I started collecting Necons many years ago I have always wondered why a scarab swarm had only four scarabs on its base. To be honest four isn't a swarm so I decided to make mine look more like swarms. Hears how I did it.

What you will need:

• Lots of patience
• Green stuff
• Instant mould
• Unused Scarabs
• Knife
• Clippers
• Super glue
• Hot Water
• Paint and Brushes
• Basing Materials

Step 1
Take your Instant Mould and put into boiling hot water for about 3 minutes

 Step 2
The Instant Mould should now be soft. Take your unused Scarabs and push into the Instant Mould

Step 3
Take the Scarabs out of the Instant mould and put the Green stuff in the Instant Mould

Step 4
Leave Green stuff to set for around 24 hours then take out of the Instant Mould

 Step 5
Using a knife and clippers trim the new Green stuffed Scarabs 

Step 6
Super glue the Green stuffed Scarabs into position on your base

Step 7
Finally paint your scarabs your colour scheme and base

 And there you you have it how to make Necron Scarab swarms look like a proper swarm!

Easy Destroyer Conversions

  

I'm off to battle brothers soon and have start fine-tune my list and in doing so have found that I need a couple of models one being a destroyer lord. So natural I end up with a range of new models just to get one. However these are the ones made last night.   

  

Also a list of thing have used to create him. A Necron Destroyer (most of him), Lychguard (warscythes and head)  and Ghost Ark (tiny scarabs which are cut from harness)

I also has some spare heavy guass cannons from a Triarch Stalker so made two heavy destroyers.  

Next stage paint them  

The Dangers Of A Craft Knife

Hello there.

   Not long after my last post, literally an hour or so I had a little accident. As you will probably guess from the title of this post it involves a craft knife.

After travelling to Peterborough city hospital and waiting 2 long hours I was seen only to be told I may need to go to Addenbrookes  hospital in Cambridge. I was told there was a few of us needing to go to Addenbrookes and that they would be putting on transport. Whilst sat waiting for this transport I was then told i would have to make my own way there.
Once at Addenbrookes I was told to go home and wait for a phone call on the Monday and that I had not heard anything by the end of Monday I was to ring them up as they had forgotten me.
Monday came and went. They had forgotten me. I rang them. "We shall ring you Tuesday" they said. Tuesday came and nearly went I rang again " we will ring you back" they said. They did. " you are looking at Friday to be operated on. We will give plenty of notice". Wednesday 3pm I get a phone call " Can you come in tomorrow at 7:30am". So much for giving me plenty of notice.

Thursday 7:30am I'm at Addenbrookes expecting to go to theatre first as told due to me having diabetes. I have to wait till 3:30pm before they operate due to high blood sugars due to being nervous. I awake a few hours later looking forward to going home, but I cant. They have lost my belongings. Eventually I get them back and I am released from captivity.
 I am recovering now but have been put out of action for a few weeks. My Oath of February will not get completed now so it will now be for March as hopefully my muscle damage will be fully recovered. 

 I have learnt a valuable lesson from this. ALWAYS CUT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY! That way you wont need to go to A&E and get forgotten about with your hand gaping open.


I am hoping that while I am recovering I can post up the items I have promised.

Stay Safe

Oath of February

Hello there Its been a while since my last post. I hope everyone had a great Christmas I know I did. Its been a very hectic start to the year getting back into the swing of things with work and everything. my news years resolution is to paint what i buy before buying more. I'm sure many of us have done it before in the past.

Decembers oath went very well until my birthday came. My oath was to build up what I got for my birthday and with my birthday being the 27th and it being the Christmas holidays I didn't make the oath I had to much to build. now January has been and gone and I am pleased to say that I have built it all.

For the month of February I The Wolf plan to paint the following:

• Kharibdyss
•  Fleetmaster
• Cauldron of blood

I have not forgotten about my promise of pictures of my Swordsmen of Hoeth, Necron Monolith, Necron Immortals or my tutorial of stripping models. They will be up with in the next week.

War, the Warrior and 2014!

Happy new year! It has been a busy few months but I thought I would wrap up the Oath of December with a resounding success. The Warriors of Chaos are officially an army.

Were-Warriors of Chaos!

The Wizard's Oath of January

 Oath of January

I successfully completed my Oath for December which included painting many models and also buying new miniatures. My Oath was close to not being completed but I just managed with a few days to spare. What I have done may not look like much but I do spend a long time on each model to get them perfect. I managed to buy all the Warhammer i said i wanted to purchase. This included the Barrels out of Bond box set and the Legolas and Tauriel models. I did make other purchases as well which included Young Dwalin the Dwarf and Thranduil which was a christmas present.

Here are some images of my completed Oath.
