Garvi Torgaddon Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi guys, This is my first converted/painted mini in like 8 years. Used to play chaos back in 3rd ed. I feel so rusty....I am starting a space wolf army based on Native-American lore. C&C most welcomed.. ;) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3364/3501673240_1f596de80d.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3600/3501675804_4f73548a27.jpg Still figuring out the base though...

Throvandius Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Got to say, I actually like it. Wasn't sure about the grin though, he seems way to happy to be waving that Lightning Claw there. Glad you're painting again. It's one of the best things about this hobby. Welcome Back! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167691-my-first-painted-mini-in-8-years/#findComment-1976647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekky Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Welcome back, painting is good, but i have to agree with Throvandius, that grin makes him seem happy, and with the open hand, seems like he is waving at some one, happy to see them. But overall, very pretty ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167691-my-first-painted-mini-in-8-years/#findComment-1976649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carados Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I disagree, the grin has some menance behind it, like he's about to enjoy cutting someone to ribbons. I like the kneepad, adds a bit of colours. Having said that, my eyes keep getting drawn to it rather than the rest of the model.

Tyrannicide Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 A very nice model, Garvi. I really like the mood you've captured here, his face just expresses that he has an intense liking for battle. Just perfect, especially since he is part of the Space Wolves.

Terrible_Trygon Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That is some nice paint work there. As for the grin, I think he the lightning claw pose was changed he would look a lot less like he is waving to someone.

Garvi Torgaddon Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the comments you guys. This guy would be be one of those mad battle lusted wolves who laugh and smile in the face of oncoming enemies. ;) I'll take a note of the waving hand definitely... (imagines plucking out the arm applying a new batch of GS and stuff.. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167691-my-first-painted-mini-in-8-years/#findComment-1977014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain kantor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 sweet i really like the smile because it looks( and this is what i can get from myself ) looks like hes going into battle and he knows he's going to kick butt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167691-my-first-painted-mini-in-8-years/#findComment-1977047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Lord Captain Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Who wouldn't be happy waving a lightning claw? It looks lovely! I like the native American lore idea too.

JazZMan Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Like you I have been bereft of GW for several years but have been into the hooby since 1989. I really like you're take on the Space wolf terminator. I'll hopefully get some pics up soon of my new Dark Angels project, and some pics of my old heavily converted Death Guard Army and 13th Company. Keep up the stirling work mate! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167691-my-first-painted-mini-in-8-years/#findComment-1986461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
