WG Vrox Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So will be adding the ol' Rock to my list, after a few play tests I must say I like the man. With that I am building a model that will best represent him. I worked a bit from the picture in the Codex and with the models at hand. Will have some time for more conversions if anyone has some suggestions. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/IMG_1735.jpg The shield started off as a door for the old Rhino, thought it would be appropriate fluff wise. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/IMG_1734.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181142-arjac-rockfist/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

WG Vrox Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 New terminator box, I cut it down and added GS to the middle to give it more bulk. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181142-arjac-rockfist/#findComment-2144871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublindawg Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well I guess thats the final reason to go and purchase the TDA box set. It's not like I already have 10 Termies, guess a few more won't hurt.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Nice! I've been wondering how I'll model Arjac. Debating between the actual Arjac v/s a 13th company WG with mixed chaos/wolf bitz (fits my fluff). Your model screams Arjac. Me likes.

Schertenleib Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was just thinking..... Could you attach the hammer to an empty hand with a flight base stem? That would give the impression of him throwing that hammer. Not suggesting it for this paticular model, but I think I might try it for myself.

WG Vrox Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was thinking about something like that too, would be very cool to do. On this model I tried to give the impression that he is running and about a millisecond of letting the hammer go. Either that or issuing a challenge to some pompous IC who is too full of himself to resist. I can see him screaming YOUuu will be my next! I put him on a small base then on a termi base to give him the height that he has fluff wise.

WG Vrox Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I GS one up but ty for info, I saw someone use a cut down TH, looked pretty good wish I woud have thought of that before I GS'd one. Update wise it might be awhile before I get this model painted, have a few big projects in front of him.

nurglespuss Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Aye no worries mate :) What else you got lined up? I'm impatiently waiting for green stuff to dry at the moment...

WG Vrox Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 What else you got lined up? I'm impatiently waiting for green stuff to dry at the moment... Man they've made spacewolves fun again! Took on a comission job from a LGS to paint the black reach set for them. After that I need to play way more than I do to get my list tuned then painted for a upcoming IndyGT in Jan. I would like to include Arjac but we will see. I paint real slow so I have to know what models I need to lay out my paint schedule .

Colonel Corrigan 1.618 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Nice model. However, doesn't he have the Saga of the Bear, which says that he wears the pelt of a bear and has a temperament to match? I don't see any bear pelt on him. You can always use the wolf guard terminator pelt I suppose. I like Arjac very much, I've modelled him myself, and once the model eventually is released (as I am sure GW will release him soon), I'll use him as a wolf lord.

WG Vrox Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Pelt would easy enough to add, will do so if I end up using the model in Jan. Didn't catch that bit of fluff thanks. Will also put the anvil on his back. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181142-arjac-rockfist/#findComment-2162137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfoe Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Don't take this as criticism, as I like the model very much. What might be cool is having Arjac running forward with his shield extended for the charge. His right hand could be extended, behind him, with his hand open. The hammer could be flying to his hand as it loops around behind. Similar to Thor's hammer in the old comics. It always seem to take much too long of an arc to return to Thor. Looked cool, but didn't make much sense. The hammer's flight path could be illustrated on the model from a wind-type effect, but that would be hard to paint. You could do something with lightning, that might be easier to paint...

WG Vrox Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 His right hand could be extended, behind him, with his hand open. The hammer could be flying to his hand as it loops around behind Now don't get me wrong, I am up for a challenge, but I don't think I could pull that pose off well enough for anyone looking at it to know what is going on. A open hand w/o hammer behind his head would give the impression he is waiting for it to return so he can throw it again, but pulling it off to express the action would be tough.. Will have to look at it a bit more. Thanks for the input. Vrox.

Iron Sapper Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I've used the anvil from the top of a Dwarf banner for my Arjac. It's just the right size and looks great. It is from the Dwarf Thunderer Kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181142-arjac-rockfist/#findComment-2162358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I updated "My Blog" with some slight progress with my Arjac project. Been trying to match a head from the picture in the Codex with what I have on hand. I've narrowed it down, but will have to choose one that's kind of close or modify one that appears closer (removing a braid on the side of its head). My Bjorn Stormwolf will be getting some attention over the next couple of days and I hope to update with pics of his as well.
