So here's a few little extras for my Great Company I've been tossing around, first a WIP Iron Priest and a semi-true scale Haeger model.

Oh and yes the Iron Priest is converted from an Iron Warriors Warsmith. So whatcha guys think?

Nice Haeger model. I never quite imagined him with such long hair (beard included) (though I should probably go back and re-read his discription). A few things though:

 

Maybe GS the thighs so that it looks more like normal power armor instead of terminator armor (thats not that big a deal)

 

Didn't he carry a bolt pistol rather than a boltgun?

 

Give him his drinking horn.

 

Wheres the bucket on his foot?

Give him his drinking horn.

 

youll be able to tell once it's painted, but vash greenstuffed a melta bomb to have wood panelling and such to make it look like the beer horn.

 

 

nice models vash, was impressed when i saw these a few days ago, keep up the good work.

Haeger from the Space Wolf novel? I don't remember which one...The one with DA in it too..

 

But wow, if its the same guy I'm thinking of..thats pretty much what I imagined him to look like. =-D

 

Yup, that is the Haeger I'm talking about, oversized, whale eating, drunken, hammer wielding Space Wolf. Haeger's gotta be my favorite character from those novels. :)

I left the thighs that way on purpose. Since he's semi-true sized but not actually I wanted it to still look like he's sort of wearing chopped up termie armor bits cause nothing else will fit him, as he's described in the books.

 

Didn't he carry a bolt pistol rather than a boltgun?

 

Bolter, Bolt Pistol, they use both from time to time, Torin wields a Heavy Bolter at one point and I just felt a Bolt Pistol wasn't... shooty enough for a Wolf of Haeger's stature :).

 

Give him his drinking horn.

 

He has a sealed mead tankard on his base between his feet ;).

 

Wheres the bucket on his foot?

 

The bucket's funny and all but it only happened once, even mighty Haeger can't respectably go to war with a bucket stuck to his foot IMO.

 

nice models vash, was impressed when i saw these a few days ago, keep up the good work.

 

Thanks.

 

So far I've moved the wolf skull back on the Iron Priests helmet some and added a row of fangs to the front of the skull. I also took a SW Back Banner and chopped the wolf skull bit off so I could add it to the right knee of the IP. I still feel the Iron Priest isn't... wolfy enough, but I'm not sure what else to add... I'll get an updated pic up soon and see what you guys think.

Looks cool. I just expected Haeger to be HUGE. He's even described and being HUGE for a Space marine. But he looks good none the less.

 

Well compared to a normal marine he's pretty big but not HUGE exactly your right. Glad you think he looks good though ;).

 

Is the Iron Priest the one they meet from the 13th Company?

 

Torvald or whomever? No that guy's a 13th Company Rune Priest, the Space Wolves equivalent of Librarians. Iron Priests on the other hand are the Space Wolves equivalent of Techmarines.

Good job on Haegr. I think he weilds a pair of pistols most of the time but with Lee Lightner messing with the series they all seem to change favored weapons a lot.

 

Yea the weapons got changed around a lot. I just went with the weapons depicted on the cover of Wolfblade that shows Haeger with a big hammer and a big bolt gun. So he got a big hammer, and a bolter. I haven't heavily converted the hammer like I'm doing for the Iron Priest now as I wanted to keep it simple and killy, Haeger style. Anyway I should have an update with new images of the continued work on the Iron Priest soon.

Ok here's an update on the Iron Priest, I've added a plate to his shoulder pad that says Iron Wolf etched into the GS, I've also added a Wolf Skull and Stone Casing to the Thunderhammer, the stone is encasing the back part of the hammer which is then wrapped in GS "metal" bands with a bolt where they cross, the bolt and the bands are all etched with Space Wolf Runes.

So... whatcha guys think? Anything else I should do to "wolfy" this guy up or is he ready for primer and paint?

I'm no wolf expert, infact, a wolf rival. Dark Angels forever!! But it looks good to me. What does his right shoulder pad say?

 

It says "Iron Wolf." I was thinking about writing Iron Priest but I thought it would be a little too long so it's Iron Wolf.
