hendrik Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i like what they did with russ, but i hate his wolves, they look more like lions or something like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1882717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I love that cover, true about the wolves but I don't think I would even mind that if the wolf head handing from his belt looked the same but its normal in comparison.

muzzyman1981 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well who says Primarchs had to be 9 feet tall and still kick butt? Maybe our beloved Primarch was shorter than other Primarchs but made up for it with his ferocity. I like it, stocky and gruff....the consumate leader of the ferocious Space Wolves =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1882823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 He was shorter than most wasn't he? I'm sure that was referenced in one of the HH books Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1882843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Russ is always described as a giant of a man by his companians. the size of him on the cover is just down to the artist. Oh well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1883682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durfast Spiritwolf Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Russ was a giant of a man. This is backed up by the description of Ranulf: Supposedly the largest Space Wolf in the chapter’s entire history, said to have rivaled even the mighty Leman Russ in size. The wolves are big but he is a tadge short in the picture - mind you there would be problems fitting in the books title if he was much taller and it might upset the harmony of the group.

Beef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 yeah and the sisters look slightly taller than the marines next to them, this artist obviously does not have any sence of proportion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1883817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 yeah and the sisters look slightly taller than the marines next to them, this artist obviously does not have any sence of proportion or possibly you don't recognise perspective ;) either way truly awesome looking cover... can't wait.. think like everyone else might use it as a basis for some conversions andrew Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1883874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Obviously he was huge, but by the standard of marines. Compared to Primarchs its all too possible that he was shorter than most. And yes the sisters are taller because they are closer to the front of the picture.

Grey Mage Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 He was shorter than most primarchs, but stout... wich is to say built like a dwarf. He was also larger than nearly any marine... as all primarchs were in the older fluff. Then you throw in that those two wolves are supposedly rivalling a Rhino APC in size.... In the picture hes a good bit taller than the sisters and the marines in the background... the wolves are larger than a space marine bike, but not the size of rhinos, wich makes more sense IMHO. I think its really about right. He broad, tall but not gigantic, and his wolves are the size of a PA'd marine.

Menathorn Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Imagin the minis that could be done for that. Russ and his Wolfs, where the Wolfs are the size of a Rhino and Russ how big?

Vassakov Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's quite simple. In order to get some attention (and Lines of fire) in the midst of all the Wolfish carnage, the Sisters have simply bought their High heeled Power Armour, so they can see over the majesty of our Lord. Problem solved. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156021-prospero-burns/page/2/#findComment-1884084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
