Zsoulless Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks Everyone, For all the Kind Words! what's the white thing hanging on his backpack? looks like a cup :P Well he cant drink straight from the Keg now, can he...? I believe the technical term is Grog Mug!!! I would call it His "Beer Mug". Isnt Grog diluted Rum..? Thats more of a pirate thing IMO.. im pretty sure It was part of most sailor's daily food rations.. Is it just me or does the second model look a bit shorter and squatter than your average Space Marine? Nope. Hes the same height just a little bulkier Still i can't understand what you used for the hammer. Mind enlightening me? :D The handle is from a Kroot rifle and the hammer head is the detonator plunger box from the Dwarf miners set.. i love the model as a whole but i'm not entirely sure about the keg (although it still looks cool...) The Keg is fun It adds a nice little bit of whimsy as for the painting, judging by your tzeentch stuff it should look great, are you going to paint it old school grey or current codex style shadow grey? Im still deciding between 2 different colors.. I really want to play around with chipping and and rust effects on my Wolves.. so We will see how it goes..

Grimfoe Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Really great stuff. Full of character. I love it. The first conversion looks like a boogy man out of the Scooby Doo cartoon. I love the pose. You can almost hear him, "OOOOOOOOOooooooooo" Like a Space Wolf Zombie. He's great. Don't change a thing. He can be a Wolf Guard Champion. The Rune Priest is an awesome conversion. A lot of fun. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Horus Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 what're you talking about :P of course he can drink straight from the keg :tu: in fact he'll gulp it all down in exactly VI seconds :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ive started Painting My priest... Im not sure I like my color choices.. I should have done a paint test first.. Maybe ill do one after words.. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4312.jpg C&C is always welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 This project hasn't died!!.. I plan on Building a Space Wolves army. I just haven't really liked the Paint job on my Rune Priest, so Ive been working on different paint Techniques.. I really want my Paint to match the conversion level on these minis.. and it just hasn't been cutting it in my opinion.. Its no big deal, Ill just chalk my rune priest up as Practice and move on.. Heres a pic of one of my poor little practice Minis http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4346.jpg A few more little paint tests and this project should start back up..

The Damned Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 what's the white thing hanging on his backpack? looks like a cup B) Well he cant drink straight from the Keg now, can he...? Well, now your going to have to model a "keg stand" marine. Its the only logical next step. great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Did a little painting this morning http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4372.jpg all in all I think hes looking pretty Good for a basic troop standard.. Now I just need to paint up his pack and figure out how I want to base them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Why not a jungle/ forest like base (i've seen to many snow bases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ok.. My Test mini is Based. I had to add a little snow to the base.. It just didnt look right without it.. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4392.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4395.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4394.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/IMG_4396.jpg Well thats It..

Grimfoe Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I hate to voice any criticism. It's a beautiful mini and I'm more than a little envious of your painting ability. But... Why is the wolf on his shoulder running away from battle? I think it has to be turned around. The rest of the work is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What to say what to say....really good. I love the weathering on him really looks like he's been in the wars and the shading is very well done too. Awesome mini. And a good job on not going over board with the snow.

Wraithwing Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Please please please continue to paint your Rune Priest. It is by far one of the most characterful Space Wolf minis I have seen, and derserves the love! Seriously though, it is that good. I was worried that it might not get the paint job it deserves, but it looks good so far, so finish that dude! Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zsoulless Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks guys! My rune priest is still on my painting desk..I haven't given up on him yet.. I'm just a little disheartened by how flat his paint job was turning out.. On the upside It did make me do my home work and my painted minis thus far have turned out really well IMO..

Just a litle unsure about your first guy. Kinda looks like he's tripped up. maybe straighten him up a wee bit will work? Just my worthless opinion tho :tu: But great conversions!
