kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Russ and his wolves, created using a standard grey hunter and lots of green stuff, plus some spare parts from the big box. Based off the Prospero Burns cover artwork. Depicted with both his sword and the Spear of Russ interchangable in hand, I prefer the sword, but the tourney rules list him with a spear. What do you think? Im still a novice with green stuff really. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 that guy look pretty messy to me though but he's still cool. i'd also prefer the sword :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 How do you mean messy? I know he isnt great, like I said, Im a green stuff novice, but let me know whats wrong so I can improve. I know the spear is crap (its mainly a mock up until I can figure out a better way to make one. The shoulders I did the best I could with my limited green stuff ability, trying to bulk them out and then add the studs/spikes Russ is pictured with on the new cover. Personally I thought I did well on the hair, considering i am completely clueless how i managed it, lol. Please let me know WHAT I did wrong, not just that I did. I might have time for a mark 2 before the tourney, but I need to know WHAT to do different.

JEFF4i Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Honestly dude, we tend to be a little critical on here, I think it looks great though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks a lot. Honestly, I would love constuctive critisim.

hendrik Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 nice start with GS, i know i was worse when i began with it lets see where things went wrong the shoulderpad and legs its an uneven GS layer, instead of starting over i suggest you use some sandpaper to make it more smooth if you do this i think it'll just sort out fine=) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah, for me its the shoulderpads. It doesnt look like a pauldron really... its to circular, like a basketball. The Sword looks like its bent, but thats probly the angel... the blade does look nice. The hair is rather well done. Kudos. So whats with this tournament?

kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Its just a local thing over easter in the wakefield store. Iit was to be the storming of the palace, 30k just as normal rules plus the store guys are writing up the primarchs. Now I have gotten involved with 8k wolves, so palace is half the event now. Other half will be prospereo. My wolves (me and 3 others directing them) vs 4 opponents with 1000 sons and alpha legion.

Grey Mage Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 That, that sounds like a hell of alot of fun. Let me know how it goes ok? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Will do, and I think when I get off this bus (love my berry) I will get the sand paper out. Thanks. Oh, and it is the angle, I thought the same about the sword when I took it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Its looks good, being a novice its shows in your GS but thats nothing to worry about. Practice will make your GS skills better with time. The idea and the actual conversion are really good. Keep up the good work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitewolfmxc Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Russ never used the spear lol but then cool model XD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanaellars Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thats why he's holding the sword. Basically, the GW staff are statlining him with the spear for this tourney. the excuse is that he is using it in case "daddy" comes by and sees him without it (silly yes, and why not) but as I said, thats why I have both there.

whitewolfmxc Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 you might want to make the wolves a bit bigger and meaner XD by fluff they are near the size of a Rhino APC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1935976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 yes i was gonna say the shoulder pads and legs but obviously someone already said it first so there's a start and the paint looks glossy or the lighting is just bad.

kanaellars Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 The shine is the lighting. All of the paints are matt. Worked on the shoulders last night, still not ready for another pic though.

Sons of Horus Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 btw if you don't have any rules for Russ just check out the homegrown rules we're working on for him down at the primarch project section.

kanaellars Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 the store is putting together some rules, although if I could find a consolodated list of all the primarchs here I might take it to them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164581-russ/#findComment-1937316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
