Emperor's Guard - Legio Invigilata

Having recently realised I have never posted pictures of my finished knights and no record of their existence other than a feature in White Dwarf in March 2019 I felt I needed to rectify this oversight.

So without further ado so pictures of Kernigets......

So there you have it finally uploaded 12 months after completion......oh I have a Casstigator to do some day 

Wolves of Armageddon

Woof........

Started working on the riders for the Thunderwolves.  Realised that I had used the wrong shoulder pad for the left pauldron making it somewhat a challenge to paint a Deathwolves Company marking on it, but having read some of the fluff it seems that there may be variations on the general theme so instead of a red pauldron with a black wolf head eating a white star I will do a red pauldron with a black wolf head and a white star behind the head and off to the upper left of it.  If anyone moans about it I will show them my face of mucho concern

Wolves of Armageddon

 Having decided to go to another Throne of Skulls in September I have set myself a challenge......an entirely new 1750 point army.  In order to tie it in with my Armageddon themed imperial army I decided to go with Space Wolves, plus it means I can spend a vast amount of points on Thunderwolves and the like so I don't have to paint many models :D

Army is made up of the following

Deathpack

HQ - Wolf Lord (thunderwolf, TH/SS)

Troop - 5 Grey Hunters (BG, BP, CCW)

Fast - 3 Thunderwolf Cavalry (3 SS, 2 CCW, 1 TH)

Murderpack

Elite - 5 Wulfen (4 Great Frost Axes, 1 Dual Frost Claws, 1 Frang Launcher)

Company of Fenris

HQ - Ironpriest (Thunderwolf, T/H)

Elite - Lone Wolf (TH/SS)

Elite - 5 Wolf Guard (5 SS, 1 Frost Axe, 1 TH, 3 CCW)

Fast - 3 Thunderwolf Cavalry (3 SS, 2 Frost Axes, 1 TH)

Heavy - 6 Long Fangs (1 ancient, 5 lascannons)

Spent last week building and all is ready to paint

Have some pictures of grey plastic.....

The Running Man

Before I can tackle other things I need to get the knights finished.  So I have jumped straight into the next lancer.  Iapetus.  The name was chosen because the name Iapetus was the name of one of the titans from Greek mythology it also loosely means "The Piercer" and derives from the Greek word to wound or pierce iapto (ιαπτω) so to me it seemed rather fitting.

The cast on this was less than perfect so I spent most of the weekend fixing miscasts.  Usually I would just send them back to FW and ask for replacement as they are nothing but exceptional when it comes to things like that.  However due to the time passed since I purchased the lancers on release and the fact it is xmas I may have been waiting for a while so I just got on with it myself.  

This lancer will probably be the most challenging knight to photograph because of the stance it looks a lot like it is falling when photographed however it is not. It gives me personally the impression of it lunging forwards parrying incoming blows seconds before delivering a counterstrike of course I may have rose tinted glasses on here. 

So pictures of the tacced lancer and the WIP base

I have also added to the base although disassembled the lancer for painting so here is the base on its' own, the large area of cork will be tarmac and I want to stencil on some markings to fill in the space
