The HQ Section.

In this week's choice there's the various options for the Wolf Pack. 

There's Björn The Betrayer, the Astartes that broke 2 Legions. 

After the Night Of The Wolf and Angron was returned to Terra in chains and the World Eaters became the War Hounds again, Björn took the weapons of the 8th Assault Company Captain, his last kill on that infamous day.

Over the course of the Great Crusade the Wolves under the command of Björn grew wilder and wilder, his command becoming referred to as the Cursed 7th.

The Warmaster would request the 7th Great Company for assault operations, growing more frequent in his request post Davin.

Just the plasma pistol arm and power pack to do. 

Kharen. 

Kharen was a Wargames Exclusive mini, the weapons are done, a couple of bits on the face to do. 

The Harkan World Claimer is going to be a Sgt in a Raptors squad, I like the idea of this squad being the first in, deciding on trails of flame, the pipes on the jump packs glowing. 

Highlights will be the Fang grey.

The Wolf Priest mini is an alternative Dark Apostle, I just need to find a decent head for it, and finish the skull on the pack and the fur.

The Dark Apostle mini is a huge pain to paint but once, but I know when I get it finished it's going to look great

The acolytes might appear down at Warhammer World. There is just a few more things to do. 

Sunday The 22nd Of February 2026

 

Saturday was spent messing about and preparing a meal for today, so Sunday I was able to get everything packed away and ready for Warhammer World next month. 

27 days to go. 

So yes, terminators are completed. Until I buy the Cattaphrattii box. 

Up next I grabbed some of the HQ choices out of the box to get some paint on them. 

We have both versions of the Dark Apostle I'm using as the Codex side of the army, Björn The Betrayer, Kharen for her Jackle squad and Harkon World Claimer. 

I was not sure what to do with the envoy of Abbadon I was thinking of using him as the Black Legion character but then if I paint him in the Wolf Pack colours I can look to add some Raptors at some point.

I Know What I Said About Terminators

 Not quite as finished with Terminators as I thought. 

I was thinking of buying the Red Butchers when they get updated to the larger scale Cattaphrattii pattern, but after doing the trim today you can forget that. 

I got the Fang and crimson wash on last night, this morning was Russ grey then fenris before I glued the 2 watchers to bases to take to Warhammer World next month, and started painting the one holding the scabbard, which I think is actually from the Grimaldas Retinue, not an actual watcher in the dark. 

I got the brass trim done. I moaned about it to my hobby chat and they suggested I try the trim pens. 

Of the 2 colours close in the range my mate is ordering copper when he puts an order in at the Web store later this month. 

Also that's an obscene level of trim. 

The 2 watchers are getting astrogranit bases, the 3 not Red Butchers terminators are going to get the grass bases when I remember to buy some PVA glue. I'm home early Wednesday, I can go through B&M bargains and grab sum, hopefully this one won't stick the top closed. 

Monthly Vow December to February The 12th.

I've started this post on the 2nd, let's see how we go. 

Yeah, the Contemptors got dropped.  I need to get some PVA glue for bases for the Wolf Pack as the last one has stuck the lid on. 

This is like when I used to work nights and got loads done. 

28 terminators and 2 Harlequins, pretty good. The 8 Wolf Pack Terminators don't count to my pledge though. 

Plan A, the Berzerker squad, 2 Long Fang/ Havoc squads, Legionary Squad and all that trim and the red butchers terminators squad +3 which are on the table but probably won't get touched until the 13th as I want to finish the last of the Lion's Blades Terminators first, and this squad is going in the Warhammer World box for March, there is also the 10 terminator lightning claws to do this month. 

If they get done I'm not sure what comes next, probably a Dread Filled Month with Helbrute, old defiler, yes I am getting the new one, a redemptor for Björn The Fell Handed conversion and at least one of the Blood Angels Contemptors if not all 3, but that's most likely March To April from where I am right now. 

It's looking like the Khorne Berzerkers are the last lot coming from Hatchette, which for me means April/May I think so I've got to switch some stuff around for the various vows this year. 

Review Time. 

With just the shoulder pad and sword to do I was able to push those out over the course of an early finish and a late start the next day. 

The Terminators building day did not go as planned with work and home problems getting in the way then on my next early finish I just had nothing in me to assemble the rest of the Terminators.

The Terminator Ancient was nice and easy, as he's an officer he also got an extra layer of wraith bone added to make him stand out from the beige crowd, more than just holding up a big flag would do. 

Two finished photos for these guys as I was under the sofa looking the missing axes at one point. I'm following the basic recipe for Space Wolves with these, just swapped the wash to crimson, so it gives a more darker, bruised look before you put the layers on. 

Not sure where my pledge card has gone... 

I had a fairly productive assembly day and a few lucky wins on ebay to add a few things to the next Terminator squad. 

The big lads and the Captain all got green wet blending on them so were done at the same time. 

I then spent about 3 days finding the arms for them. 

So banged this one out as a change from black power armour, can't imagine he'll be on the table soon. 

The Chaplin and Captain had their details done. 

Heads, rings and plasma cannons ready to be painted as well as the Solitaire, I keep losing one of his arms. 

And finally finished the Satanine Terminators.

The close assault terminators were done a bit at a time as I was doing a lot of day shifts at work that week.

The lightning claws arms are waiting for shoulder pads, so I'll add them to next month's vow

The last squad this month is also the last squad from the Crux Terminatus box. 

I've already planned to take this squad down to Warhammer World which was why its in this photo. 

I didn't do my usually 5 minutes with the cat on the sofa before work as the only thing left to was the agrax earthshade wash on the base. 

Last Terminators Squad For A While.

 

The last squad of Indomitus pattern Terminators for a while. The new Cattaphrattii Terminators are released this Saturday {14/02/2026}... And I have a voucher for £10 off... I might have a run down to Wigan on Saturday. 

This squad got the ushabati bone base coat, a nuln oil wash and the screaming skull layer. 

I got in last night and finished the red detailing, leaving the night warrior base coat, and nuln oil wash tonight and hopefully I can get the leadbleacher highlights on before bedtime tonight, oh yeah, bases need doing to. 

Need to add some agrax earthshade shade to my shopping list. 

Whatever happens I'm finishing this month's Vow when I get this squad finished. 

More Terminators.

 After taking a week to finishing the thunder hammers and storm shields squad off, I've jumped right in with another 2 squads of Terminators.

These 5 are obviously for The Lion's Blades, the painted plasma cannon is just to take as an option for warhammer world his usual load out is going to be the assault cannon. 

I've already got them up to the screaming skull stage, but no photo, which leaves details to do.

Hoping to get them finished on the nights after I finish work this week.

I'm also thinking the rechargeable battery in my head set is going as it feels like I'm recharging after every use.

Squad 2 another 8 Terminators for the Wolf Pack.. Pretty sure these will be in the February to March Vow. 

Now how dis I do on the January Vow?
