The Rise of the Underwolf - The dreadnoughts

 Reborn after what could have been a painful death, the dreadnought carries the body and mind of a near dead Space Marines. Enclosed in their metal coffin, they continue to wage war until real death take them.

Building the dreadnoughts was really fun. Sadly, the weapon options are not all fully available from the different kits available and I ended up kitbashing some weapons (missile launcher and double heavy bolter)

For these I used the venerable and space wolf dreadnought kits.

A good start



The models are easy to build and half way through, they already look decents

The kits didn't have the missile launcher, so I decided to make one with the bits I had. I had 2 versions in mind, going finally with the first one.







The second version, the angle of the weapon was not interesting.

Sames for the double heavy bolter


I had 2 versions to work on for the heavy bolter, stacked up and side by side.



Final version

Ready for action!

The Rise of the Underwolf - the Razorback

 The Underwolf is a new Chapter by Space Marines standard even though it was created millenia's ago by a Space Wolf force cutoff from the Imperium by a Warp Storm.

When the Warp Storm finally calmed down, the new Chapter was restocked with second hand equipments from other Chapters.

This razorback is one of them.


this is qn eqsy to build model
I opted for a standard color scheme of the army, finding a spot for the boneskull color
The model looks nice, but I still need to learn how to use it at max capacity
I used the same coloring and highlight that I used for vehicle with good tabletop effects

The Rise of the Underwolf - the Landspeeders

Swift and agile, the landspeeders are deadly machine.




I got my first landspeeder earlier this year through a trade, and then the second one. I bought them to gain more speed and terrain control while using heavy weapons.


The type I wanted the use, the Tornado (Assault Cannon and plasma) was not available. So I converted it with a rider on plasma and under carriage assault cannon using bits from the Wolf Guard.


The plasma gunner saw different position.

I used blue tack to keep the shape before glueing. 
Position one


Position 2 - I preferred this one, more dynamic



Next step was to add the pilot. Converting from a pure scout to a real Space Marines


Main paint job. I realised the speeder was not looking as good as the marines. 




Hence same as the dreadnought, it got the highlights


As I got the second, I had the idea to convert it into a Xmas gift delivery.

I used an AOS model to create my secret Santa

With some special Underwolf conversion

A good Santa Sleigh needs some gift



And some special marking needed too 

Santa Claws is really mad at naughty boys


Santa Claws like a good melta in the evening


Santa on the left or Santa on the right? Still not decided

Ho ho ho
