Intergalactic Journey, Glitterwolf paints Aliens, Spacecraft and other Scifi things.

[Glitterwolf]

Normally I stick to Fantasy but recently I acquired 3D files for a wonderful faction of Space Woofs.

The Jackals from Onepagerules.

Naturally I bought them all...

 

Don't worry citizen, WOOF has no plans to conquer the Galaxy...honest...

 

In the welcome pack of that patreon I also got several Robot Legion Troops and I got some free Alien Hive and Eternal Dynasty minis as well.

Combined with a "few" other scifi minis and files I have, I decided it to be time to explore the Galaxy.

 

This is not my first time though.

 

Here are some minis I painted in the past that fit the bill.

Enough of that...

On to adventures in Space!

 

I present the Jackals.

 

 

First 3D prints are now curing.

 

A Jackal Assault Beast.

Three Jackal Nomads

A few Power Packs, Backpack/Rocket pack and an Oil Drum.

 

This will make a nice start.

 

 

 

Since I don't play the game I will paint what I like and make up my own stories like you're used from me.

Since I only paint for fun and display it's alright, I only have broken some stuff during removing the supports.

Once based and painted no problems.

Yay, Painted Dogs! The most beautiful canid! 😁

[Rigel]

Hell yeah, Space Woofs! That maculated wild dog in the second reference photo is especially striking.

 

Very excited about this project of yours. 

[Glitterwolf]

Printed the last batch for now.

First I need to paint what's on my desk ( or at least a significant part of it) until I will print again.

Stop growing the shelves of 3d shame!!!!☻

It just looks that way, all of these are Infantry/Cavalry types and have backpacks no jetpacks.

The Vultures are the Flying unit and they have some sort of flapping wings construction.

so I guess they'll be fine and otherwise they have invented a quick way of docking tails..

First basecoating the Jackals.

( Vallejo-Israeli Sands Brush on Primer)

 

QUESTION/NEED YOUR HELP!

( also asking this in random..I need input here)

 

I don't game, paint for fun and display.

Love basing but now I'm doubt:

 

Round or Square?

The OPR official basing set for these comes in both square and rounds.

But what looks better?

 

Please Vote for Square or round bases.

[Corsair]

Both bases look good. Which one has more choices for variety? I think you would prefer the randomness. Or, do you want to stage them in a formation to display them? Square would work better for that. Or make a diorama that accepts the style base you would like so they can be picked up and admired. I think you do need to paint at least one up as Wile E Coyote and paint ACME on his jetpack.
