CaptMac Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Okay following on from my Wolf Lord I've been playing with a Standard Bearer for my army. I have the day off today so the goal is to have him finished before my girlfriend gets home and stabs me for not having done anything "constructive". He's converted mainly from Chaos Marine parts and obviously Space Wolf parts. I've used a bit of wire for the necklace and green stuff everywhere else. One of the hardest things I've did was cut the head up and put it back together and extended the fangs...it looks okay at the moment but I'm hoping when hes painted it'll look better. Here's the construction http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/SBWolf.jpg I've undercoated him with a black undercoat and then gone over that with a gray one, I know what I was trying to do but to be honest it hasn't made that much difference. I filed down some bit that looked odd once he'd been undercoated and I've started the base coating. http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/SBWolf2.jpg Like I said I'll be doing this all day so it's a race against the clock (#hears 24 style beeping counting down#) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Looks really nice. Two questions though 1) why is he facing away from where he appears to be shooting? 2) you doing a banner or leaving as a totem? Again looks really nice looking forward to the finished product that is of course if your girlfriend doesnt stab you... always a worry and i share your pain lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMac Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/SBWolf3.jpg I've done a wee bit more, I'm amazed how crap things look when they're half painted...I hope it looks better when its done. The reason he's facing away is err...he's got really got peripheral vision. Yeah I see what you mean, when I was putting him together I tilted the pistol to make it look like he had fired and was roaring but it doesn't really come across. I guess I'll just have to remember next time. I'm undecided on totem or banner at the moment I'll finish the paint job and see what the general consensus is.

Wolf89 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think the banner is fine, great model and you can really see those fangs protruding! :lol: I kinda like the look of him shooting and roaring. It reminds me that Space Wolves are hardcore and they don't give a hoot about anything and blasting off wildly while roaring at the enemy to come get some is just what I think of when I think Space Wolves! ;) It's not looking TOO bad, but yes, when he's fully painted he'll look much better. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglespuss Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Don't worry, they always look weird till their finished ^_^ main thin is, it looks neat/tidy and good coverage. look forward to seing it done!! And also the banner, cause I suck at banners, and always love inspiration!!

Tiriel Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's true some colors are looking bit weird right now, like the fleshy one on the kneepad. But as said Nurglepuss, all models look weird until finished! Anyway, I'm looking forward to see him finished, I want more! ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I get what you mean now with the roaring have a feeeling it'll be more apparent when based so the angle of pistol etc can be seen. PIP looks good looking forward to the finished product :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 He looks good CaptMac. And pose in my eyes is that he is about to level up or drawing his pistol (ie on the way up). -Trajan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMac Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/SBWolf4.jpg Well this is far as I'm going to get till this evening, my girls about to come back and I'm still in my Pajamas...no that I wear pajamas. I'm not so keen on the eyes and I'm thinking of puttin a space wolf rune on the fore head of the topmost skull? Comments are appreciated, thanks guys.

Wolf89 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 A rune would be sweet, I think it would make it look better. Also, the painting is great and it looks so much better as you've progressed from Stage 1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1689844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBlessed Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Its coming along really nicely, great conversion. My only criticism is that I reckon the inside of his mouth should be pink/red.

CaptMac Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/SBWolf5.jpg I'm guessing this will be the second last photo as the wee fella is pretty much done. I'm not putting anything on the knee of shoulders at the moment as the rest of the army is blank (I still havent thought of anything to put on the shoulders). A few more highlights, the backback and the banner and the base then done...that actually sounds like quite a bit now I come to think of it. I'm not sure if people are going to get pissed my constantly putting up photos so if I'm doing somthing wrong forum wise, or painting wise please let me know. I've only just started painting again.

CaptMac Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 I think I might redo the eyes as well they look a bit manga. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145733-space-wolf-standard-bearer/#findComment-1690829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 looking great :> really good colours. The eyes: well I like them, but if they are 'too large' for you, just 'thin' them down a little with the socket colour :> great job!!
