stinkenheim Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 ok, i want your opinions on how im planning to do my shield. being bjorn stormwolf, i figured there should be lightning and such like. however i didnt want to just paint an image onto the shield, so using a technique i've been working on for a while now i decided to paint it as if it had been etched onto a bronze shield. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/shieldmockup.jpg i know its a bit of a rough mockup (i did it quickly in photoshop to get an idea) but i'd appreciate your opinions on it none the less...

jester262 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I like it! What color will the wolf be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 well its all gonna be metalics with glazes over the top to give the impression of it being etched in, so a brighter 'gold' colour than the background is the best i can say at the moment... im gonna experiment on some scraps of plasticard tomorrow so i'll post up some shots when i get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contention Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Shield looks good but where did you get the hammer head from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I was gonna ask about the hammer head and the shield. The model itself looks great, and I can't wait to see it painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Shield looks ace, as does the whole Wolf Lord. The hammer is from the Dwarf Master Engineer. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 ok, this is the best pic i could get of the shield as it stands... i think im gonna gve the wolf another coat of chainmail (and possibly a highlight of mithril) before glazing it with sepia again to get the copperish colour back. comments please guys... oh the edge is gonna be goldish, brighter than the centre of the shield http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00792.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 That is freaking amazing!!!! The model alone made me quiver and want to play "300" with little action figures! But that shield looks unbelievably realistic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koran Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks great man. The shield is perfect. One thing I would change is the position of the axe head. The shaft goes into the head of the hammer too far back making it look to front heavy for it to be an effective weapon. Moving it forward just a bit so that its midway would make it look a lot more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animerik Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 From haveing some experience with working with brass and owning some stuff of bronze it looks very realistic. The tones is great and ae really the colours one could get with etching and then ageing. You have really nailed it so my only critique would be that we don´t have any close ups on the details on the termi :lol: Looking forward to the finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the great beaver Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 where did you get the shield itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archenemy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The shield is really cool, a great idea and executed well! I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole mini coming together. My only concern is that, not being familiar with how you paint that the whole style would have to be a bit more realistic and gritty for that shield to fit in. If the shield is any indication the mini should be something special when it's done, I'll be keeping an eye on it! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
