Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi guys, My latest additions for the Horus Heresy - all work in progress mind and some mould lines to remove. First up is Skeld (his Wolf needs to still be wolfed up alot) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P7100028.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P7100029.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P7100035.jpg Some new Long Fangs too - thanks to H-Gate for the mk4 torsos! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P7100036.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P7100037.jpg More on my blog.

Lestat Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Kudos to you - they are looking pretty damn cool so far. Great idea of combining Marine parts and Chaos warrior parts (might have to "borrow" that idea) Got to love those helmets from Maximini too! (Got me some a couple of weeks back and still trying to make up my mind what to do with them ^_^ ) They just work so well with pre-heresy stuff.

Pig Of Sparta Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm loving the Skeld mini. The pose, scuplting, use of bits all work together beatifully. Can't wait to see it cleaned up and painted ^_^. Good work brother. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous Anonymous Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Sweet where did the wolf come from? You didn't study your biology much in high school, eh? :) It's a White Lion model from the Lion Chariot sprue for High Elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I really like the long fangs. Very effective conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niklas Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The pose and setup with the wolf is really life-like. An absolutely fantastic model! I also like the use of two bases, simple but effective. Congrats! Will be waiting to see it painted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadey Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Coming along very nicely. The only issue I have is the lion still looks very much like a lion. I assume you have yet to get to its face. If it was me I would clip the braided mane of and the top of the mane*. Wolves can have long fur but not as long as a mane. The snout is also far too thick if you could get with a dremel to reduce it but your kind of limited here because the jaw is also thick. Using a dremel to take away some thickness, gs to add fur and lengthen the snout a touch might change the proportions enough. Could be hard work, might be safest to do on your presumedly spare white lion. Whatever you decide, good luck. *alternatively the top mane could be turned into a hump. Not as hunchback of notre dame but as in hulking great big dire wolf muscle.

Stormwulf133 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Actually I think the catlike aspect can be dealt with. Check out the cover to Prospero Burns and look at the wolves there. The faces are flatter, almost old school D&D Worg like. I love all the work you have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 As I said above it is still work in progress but, I thought I woudl makre sure everyone had seen the cover of Prospero Burns Notice the wolves? http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/ProsperoBurns.jpg Mjol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Noble Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 These models are awesome! The only ting I have against them is they've got me wanting to do a SW army now... -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapturowski Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Even though I really like the Skeld conversion and absolutly love the moustache, one thing bugs me. You have him "ambling" (not sure this word is used correctly, had to look it up), humans tend to move the arm opposite the leg they're moving when walking/running. Do I make any sense? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 @Kapturoski - First off - love our minis dude, very nice. Where does the basic head for model you use as your avatar pic come from? I see Slekd as keeping his arm in front of himself as he charges forward. I understand that if he was running without his axe his axe hand would be back and the other forward - so really the anatomy is not wrong. If you look at war films, generals who motion the charge keep their motioning arm in front as they move forward. I suppose to avoid any confusion I could have alternated legs but I liked it the way he is. Mjol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapturowski Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thank you! The head is from the Assault Terminators sprue. When you put it like that, I see how it works :). Keep up the excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
