Machinepriest Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Okey so I've been bitten... It might be the rabies or just the fact that the new rules and the models for the sons of Russ are totally awesomeosaurus. So I'm howling curses at the moon here because I have to wait over a week to get my hands on the latest goodies. Anyways... I'm planning to build a Wolf Priest with Terminator armor, and I want to use the head from Ulrik the slayer. Now I've seen this been done before, so I was wondering if someone who's done it could give me some tips and pointers, or even some pics of the... Severed head ;) I'm curious to see if it requires a lot of resculpting after it's been removed with razor saw. And never mind the Dark Angels codex post in the Happy Wolf thread. I love all marines, green, gray, blue, red, black, it's all good. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180408-cutting-off-ulriks-head/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
the great beaver Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 the trick is that you have to literally destroy the rest of the model. cut away about 2mm below his chin and 2mm on either side. I slipped up a few times and had to resculpt the tubes on the underside of his chin. it's very hard and you have to saw in from all sides instead of trying to go all the way through from any one angle. otherwise, it's pretty simple but a pain.

Machinepriest Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks for the response great beaver. I'm prepared to pretty much destroy the rest of the model. I just need the head and the Crozius Arcanum. Do you have any photos of your model that includes Ulrik's old head? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180408-cutting-off-ulriks-head/#findComment-2136109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dienekes96 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 the trick is that you have to literally destroy the rest of the model.That was my advice. You have to sacrifice the model for the head. It's a great head. Played with it and the Termies today (since I have the same idea as you). My head was sawn a year or two ago. It's a bit too big for the Termie head openings (just a bit, because of the tubes), but I plan to shave down the small protrusion at the next line to get the head in.

Chucku Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Why not use the wolf's head helmet from the new Wolf Pack sprue? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180408-cutting-off-ulriks-head/#findComment-2136114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the great beaver Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/thunderblood/wip/termies/DSCN1427.jpg I've since done some work to him but he's on the shelf now because I can't take him with thunderhammer and crozius lupine. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180408-cutting-off-ulriks-head/#findComment-2136116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinepriest Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Chucku: Because Wolf Priests pretty much are the chaplains of the Space Wolves, so skull helmets are the way to go :) Beaver: Whoa, that pose is wicked! You should give the model a second chance. Just skip the thunderhammer. I've heard that blutack comes off easily ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180408-cutting-off-ulriks-head/#findComment-2136120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the great beaver Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 he's already glued together...the only thing I can think of is putting the crozius lupine on the end of the thunder hammer arm (its the best terminator arm and i don't want to waste it) but then what is he holding up and why isn't he holding up his symbol of office?
