Chodjinn Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Okay, so I've been a member on here for a while, but I've still not got back into playing after havnig a break for 10yrs, mainly because I'm waiting for the new codex to come out before assembling my army. However, I have been busy converting a large squad of terminators, my Wolf Lord, and Rune Priest. Yesterday was the first time in years I walked into a GW store, I needed some paints (some of mine were so old they'd fossilized!) and I also wanted an Ironclad. Anyway, only started this yesterday and it's a bit rough. I absolutely hate the dreadnaught legs, they have always looked like they have been squashed to me, so I've ordered some IG Sentinels and I'm going to convert the dread with bigger, longer legs as I've seen one or two other people do. I also dislike the small sarcophagus covers, so I used an old Rhino front hatch which fits well and beefs the front end up. I also haven't decided on where to put the GS wolf pelt, whether to go over one arm, both, or stay in the middle of the main body? Any suggestions? http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0060.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0061-1.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0062.jpg Here is my finished Wolf Lord, armed with master crafted thunder hammer and storm shield (not shown). I've based him on the heathen warlord seen at the beginning of the film Gladiator (hence the huge hammer!). Apologies for the photo I forgot to take pics before I sprayed him, but you ge the gist. This is one of the longest conversions I've ever done, and I've done a few lol. Based on the Chaos Termie Lord legs/rear torso/cape, old Long Fang Sergeant head/torso, old Blood Claw Sergeant right hand, large warhammer hammer, Forgeworld shoulder pads, TWO Logan Grimnar wolf capes, and a lot of greenstuff. I've tried to keep him pretty clean, as with most of my conversions, as i don't like to over-wolf things for the sake of it. The hardest part of this was getting the hand positions correct in relation to the shoulders and face. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0072-1.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0077-1.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0074.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0075.jpg And my Rune Priest, with Frost Axe and Thunder Hammer (for the time being). Based on a standard plastic termie, with 2mm card inserted to raise the torso, Njal Stormcallers head/body, some ramdom dwarf axe I had, and some random hammer head I had as well! This was a relatively easy converision as all I had to do was chop up Njal and use a bit of greenstuff to blend it all in. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/chodjinn1980/DSC_0047.jpg Will post some photos of my CC termies when I've painted the armour (they're all black ATM).

Growler67 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Initial impression is they look good. But trying to see the details with black primer is a waste of energy. I generally use grey primer even if I have to use it in layers as I add sculpting and touch it up over and over (sometimes). I may change my opinion from good to impressive (for instance) when newer/follow up shots are taken and presented. No offense, but I hate black primer. It has it's purposes, sure, just on things like Chaos and vehicles more than personel, IMO. Looking forward to more shots when details can be discerned.

Keercrevlis Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The conversions look great, love the cape on the WL, and was wondering were you got the small icon for the dread. Can not wait to see the finished pics.

morcus Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That Icon was on the old space wolf sprue that came with grey hunters and blood claws. My first post this year.

Chodjinn Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 No the icon is a lot larger than the one on the old sprue, the one I've used on the dread is a forgeworld icon. I know what you mean about black primer, but I started painting the Lord today and hope to get a fair bit done on him this week.

Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 All looks very cool to me - I particularly like the double handed hammer pose. Gotta love the detail on the forge world icons haven't you? I don't know where I'd be without them...
