Now the original reasoning to me starting my space wolf collection was that I love the conversion side to building my own army. I guess that's what drew me in to the wolves, the heroic nature, the stand alone characters and opportunity for one of a kind characters.
So after competing in Armies on parade in October I have new targets and ambitions.
Mainly, designing modelling and painting an entry for Golden Demon next year. 2015.
So let's start with ideas...Dragons!!!

So far this model is my largest forgeworld piece I have bought, and I know everybody can get nervous when the thought of resin strikes them. But you just have to be confident, double check you know what your plans are and then commence.
First things first, I get a fine sieve (like a flour sieve) and rinse all the resin bits in WARM water. Don't go too hot as it may warp and bend the bits without you realising.
Then I fill a bowl with slightly warmer water and add fairy liquid, get a toothbrush and scrub each part. If doing this over a sink...put your plug in as you don't want to fish bits out of your U bend.
Leave everything in the bowl of water for as long as you like, some suggest a day or two, I personally do around two hours just to remove the resins releasing agent.
I always pin my forgeworld models, first I glue using super glue, then once dried I drill the pieces with a 1mm drill bit then glue a length of 1mm brass rod inside the hole.
Watch this space as I reveal further plans for my Golden Demon display.
