AcidBurn Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 well as of today i now own the new wolf guard terminator box set, and i decided to make a new wolf lord to lead my great company. however i realy wanted to make the most on the lush new bits from the set and i diddnt realy wand to build multiple wolf lords do i came up with the idea of magnetizing the arms for different weapon loadouts heres what i threw togeather in the few hours i was not feasting and drinking with my family today i had to bore a hole in the torso, luckily i had my trusty dremel to hand so that made things much easyer, then i glued my rare earth magnet into the hole(i did not measure the size of the holes so it was going off complete gut instinct when i was drilling) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/Kojak001.jpg i did the same with the arm peices http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/Kojak002.jpg and bobs your uncle there you go http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/Kojak003.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/Kojak004.jpg i realy wanted him to have a massive butcher like cleaver and a massive axe heres the cleaver http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/Kojak005.jpg i mite add another blade to the back of the axe well there he is Kojak the Butcher c&c welcome there will be more pics tomorrow night and when i get some more magnets from Maplins Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Runner Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Magnetizing is a great way to diversify your army and HQs without breaking the bank. El Scotcho gave me the idea, and I'm going to run with it with my SwiftC, tanks and Termies for sure. Edit: Great pose and even better sword. Post when painted mate.

Winterseven Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Considering you went off gut instinct those magnets look like they fit a treat... I like the Sword and Axe combo, gives him a real Barbarian/Norse feel, what did you make the sword from? Is it scratch built? And i really like the dual Wolf Clar option - keep up the good work :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2144694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 the sword is off one of the ogre kingdoms sprues. well i got the measurements off maplins website so i knew that would fit properly. im going to do a thunder hammer and storm shield combo next but make the hammer massive, and then after that a chain fist and power fist or something lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2144760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scotcho Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Holy Crap, I inspired someone. Now the Broncos are going to win another Super Bowl, and Hell will freeze over. Ok now back to normal, very very good job man. I'm still waiting on my magnets (had to wait til today to order them), so my version of Harald Deathwolf will not be magnetized, but then again I'm pretty sure on his particular set up, so no problems there. I will however, be magnetizing all of my other non-canon characters, so that I can switch their weapons out between battles, and also all of my Wolf Guard, and Land Raiders too. I'll be very interested to see this guys paint job. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2144777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 ok hes not my wolf lord but i thought id add him anyway. he is actually inspired by Spacefrisian's thread on a wolf lord with a totem, i liked the idea so mych i had to make a start on one. this is Borris "one eye" bloodmane "guardian of the standard" http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/borris001.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/borris003.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/borris002.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/borris004.jpg i dont know weather is shows up well but i caeted an inqusition symbol onto the skeletons head Borris is Kojak's oldest and dearest friend so great a friend is he that he took a bolter round in the eye to save his lord. the story behind the standard (as far as Borris tells the bloodclaws) is that on the eve of a great battle against the forces of chaos, Kojak and Borris were feasting and drinking and all of a sudden an inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus (they were there also) came before them and demanded that the Ordo Malleus lead the assult. Kojak and Borris found this funny yet insulting, Kojak turned to Borris and wispered something, Borris nodded whilst barely able to contain his laughter. "the Ordo Malleus cannot lead, inquisitor we shall have the honour of leading the assault" Kojak said "this is an outrage" the inquisitor replied "oh do not worry yourself inquisitor, you, yourself shall be at the foremost of the battle" "eh?" queired the inquisitor then the two space wolves set upon the inquisitor with there bare hands and a bit of rope they found on the floor, and when the scuffle was over Borris turned to his lord and said "aye lord that was a crackin idea hel be able to see everything from up there" "indeed Borris" Kojak replied "hel make a fine standard" a couple of years pass and the two space wolves are again feasting and drinking. "what ever happened to that inquisitor from a couple of years back Borris" "oh dear......." "i forgot to untie him lord" the two look at each other and break down laughing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2145004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 oke doke i had a spare £25 yesterday and after a glorious win with my new space wolf list (first game with the new dex) i decided to treat myself to a canis wolfborn model, however as i hate using characters he will be another new wolf lord for the steel fangs soooo without further adue here he is http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0001.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0002.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0003.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0004.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0005.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0006.jpg i decided that the wolf claws despite being very nice and ornate are just far too short to reach the enemy so i cobbled togeather a glaive/lance type of weapon and made it so it touched the froor. i realy wanted an inspiring leader look so i positioned an arm and fist raised high above his head i can just emagine him saying "they may take our lives, but they will never our ALE!!!!!!!" well what do you guys think on this wolf lord C&C welcome? i need a name for him still aswell Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2152225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Guard Dan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Now the Broncos are going to win another Super Bowl, and Hell will freeze over. As a Bears fan you have no idea how irked I will be if Kyle Orton wins a Super Bowl with his new team. I am a huge fan of his, he will not lose you any games but he won't win you any games either. Da Bears! On a hobbyist note, what size magnets do you use? Is there a tutorial on this site? What hobby stores carry the magnets?

dublindawg Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Love how you painted up the frost weapons. I think I have enough shades of blue to achieve that as well, just hope I pull off that level of painting.

Iron Man I Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Outstanding work! Love the paint on the frost weapons. Not completely sold on the cleaver sword as it looks more orcy, but thats just personal prefrence! :D all in all 10/10 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2157579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baru Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Really nice conversions there, although the bolt gun metal as basic colour scheme for wolf models does need some getting used to. But, no offence, shouldn't this be in the painting and hobby section?

El Scotcho Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Let us see the great company symbol!! Very nice sword and axe, but I think the copper/brass bits need some loving, maybe on the shield you should paint his old tribal colors? 10/10 overall though, lets see if I can equal it.

AcidBurn Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 im glad you guys like him ive got to paint up his other weapon load outs aswell @Iron Man I: i wanted him to have an overly massive blade as his name is Kojak The Butcher and that was the biggest one i could find in my bits box lol @Baru: indeed the colour is a bit strange at first but it reflects the name of my company "the steel fangs" i wanted a fast and easy to do colour scheme. @El Scotcho: hmmmm a symbol not really thought about that before i would like to try my hand at some freehand stuff what should i do? and does any one have any tips for freehanding stuff? thankyou for the comments and there is more to come aswell :whistling: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2158559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 ok ive started painting my wolf lord on thunderwolf however i decided to try something different to painting fur and all i can say is it ended up being a horrible, horrible mistake and as a result i had to respray the model now i have been doing warhammer 40k for over a decade (that is not including the 3 year break i had) and not once have i had to respray anything until now and quite frankly i am shocked at myself. . . . well more dissapointed really .. .. .. well rant over who wants to see the horrible first attempt paint job? any takers? lol here it is http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0100.jpg ok now with that monstrosity over with heres what i did after the respray http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf002.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf003.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf004.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf005.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf006.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf007.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/thunderwolf008.jpg i decided to go with a much darker fur to make the armour of the wolf lord stand out a bit. i mainly focused on the head of the wolf in this short painting sesh, i dont know if is shows up that well in the pictures but i was quite proud of the wolfs blue eye as it has a tiny pupil with a bit of white reflection in it. btw i dont know what the brown stuff is on the wolfs face is ist not there in real life i think it must be something to do with the flash. i still havent thought of a good name for the wolf lord but i have got a name for the wolf and its name is Black Heart i dont know why but i kept on gravitating towards that name though lol well c&c welcome as always Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180378-a-new-wolf-lord/#findComment-2158741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
