CaptMac Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/Wolflord1.jpg This Wolf Lord is my first real attempt at a conversion. I used a fair load of green stuff, I extended the legs by sawing them then adding a bit of spruce, the shoulders are from standard Chaos Marines, the teeth on his neck guard came from a Ork, his hair and capes were just more green stuff and the lightning claw was made using a normal fist and some combat knifes (I know it's been done before but it looks cool). I'm still working on the paint job but should have it finished soon. What you think?

son of nocturne Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 looks good so far! One suggestion... make him angrier! he looks like he's having a little yawn, but it sis a good model! Nice and clean paint job and effective conversions. S.O.N.

TyrMadclaw Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 That is one scary underbite! :wacko: But it still looks good. nice work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144720-wolf-lord-conversion/#findComment-1677305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prtyjedi Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 That's a great-looking model. Gripes - the hair. The teeth I can live with, but the hair colour... scary. Otherwise, A++ job. Awesome.

CaptMac Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yeah the purple rinse is just there until I decide what colour to do the hair...and the angry look, well, it's a very aggressive yawn. I'll get to fixing them both. I've started a standard bearer now as well and so far it's 8 bit's for just the body and left arm. All this converting will be why I only have 1 core unit finished.

DiStudios Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Not only is the conversion very cool, but what a awesome paintjob. I am looking forward to seeing the finished article with final hair colour.

CaptMac Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Just thought I'd keep the progress updates trickling in. I've changed the hair colour to white, brought some more detail to the furs, started some highlighting on the claws and started blocking out the wolves heads on the back pack. Things I was wondering were... http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/Wolflord2.jpg How would you guys make him look angrier? And ideas for the claws? I was thinking of re-basing him on a bigger one: Yay or Neigh? Thanks for the help.

lord_bunny Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 1- Try a load of thing washes to the creases, to exaggerate his facial stresses, this should make him look more angry. 2- they kick arse, and are fine! Prehaps a final, very thin white highlight? but thats up to you! 3- I like the base, very like the codex cover, but again that ones for you to decide. Oh, it also looks brilliant! White hair makes him look less like an old lady :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144720-wolf-lord-conversion/#findComment-1679231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm really loving this guy. I don't think you need to worry about his face too much, he looks to me like he's unleashing a victory howl!

M33TGRINDER Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i think it looks great but his facial expression seems to be one of relief, like he just let out a big rippin fart lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144720-wolf-lord-conversion/#findComment-1679357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evapilotone Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Great model and great paint job. The change in hair colour has done wonders. I really like the base as well.

Debauchery101 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 awesome job man ! i love the pastel brightness, it reminds me of how people used to paint space wolves waaay back in the day. i think to maybe make him look a bit more pissed off and not so "ugh.... what now?!" type of look, you could try putting either a wash or a thin line above his eyebrows to make them look more raised up in fury.

CaptMac Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is pretty much as far as I think I can go with this Wolflord (I'm not sure you can see it in the picture he does look meaner). I think he's ready to lead the army...though he may get relegated now that I've learned a few things from doing him. http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/FinalLord.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144720-wolf-lord-conversion/#findComment-1687092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
