Khrangar Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Number 2 is definitely the better option I think. Maybe add the lighter pelt to the 2nd scheme. Also, if you want 'wolves' Crocodile Games makes a few different lions. Just search 'lion' and it should come up with 4 different ones.

Annunsi Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks for the info(Croc games). I picked up a Space wolves pack 2day(gave up on the bits order that USPS lost, it was only like 10 bucks, hopefully they will reimburse me)so 2morrow I'l start turning all the wolf stuff into panthers, and converting the on-foot and mounted(soon as I get a Mantiroe) versions of my Lord.

ephrael Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Your second concept drawing reminds me of Kraven the Hunter from marvel comics. Very inspiring indeed. I also like the second color scheme as well. I can't wait to see some marines ready for paint.

Brother Amarel Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Edit2: Think I like this clour scheme betterhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/nekhar/spacemarine-1.jpg I used chocolate brown and cream for my Screaming Apes. It works pretty well if you can find a decent brown to shade up to for the main colour - I never really did, everything was either too orangey or too similar to the base colour cream-coloured chest. Good luck with this, though, it looks amazing so far :D.

Annunsi Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 @sword brethren: I'll be GSing the panther shoulder guard for my lord, and once i finish designing the chapter symbol, that'll be gs, too. I'll most likely take the wolfy bits(skulls and whatnot) and resculpt them more catlike. Problem is, once I start things like this, my mind keeps taking the concept further. I recently thought about basing the Chapter around the Spotted Hyena(they are pretty damn interesting animals), and it's still a possibility, that would require a lil less conversion. And who the heck but me would choose the Hyena as a Chapter symbol? I also briefly thought about using different animal totems for each squad or org chart choice. Somethimg like Cheetah for FA, Rhino or Ape for HS, and so on. Arrrrgh, I hate my imagination sometimes.

Annunsi Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yeah. I'm going with the 2nd scheme. Sitting here looking at the new SW heads. I'm glad I decided to have very few non helmet marines. Some of this SW hair is just wonky.

Annunsi Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 After mulling it over, I decided to drop the panther and go with the hyena as my motif.

Khrangar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looks good but could be hard to sculpt as it seems to have too much detail. Will they be the Hyena Lords now? As for hyena miniatures, Reaper has some as do Rackham and Chainmail. The Rackham one is probably harder to get as it's OOP but it looks great.

Annunsi Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, but my guys aren't Chaos. Yeah hyenas are pretty viscious, but they are also superb hunters(Spotted hyenas anyway), and highly intelligent. Here's the site that won me over to them as my chapter symbol(besides being an African animal)Spotted Hyena Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181636-enter-the-pantha-lordupdatednew-concept-pics-added/page/2/#findComment-2155971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 After mulling it over, I decided to drop the panther and go with the hyena as my motif. That is a shame, I liked the Panther idea. It seemed to have more power behind it and seemed to naturally tie in with all the art you posted previously. Dreadlocks and Hyenas don't seem to fit as well...

It seemed to have more power behind it and seemed to naturally tie in with all the art you posted previously. Dreadlocks and Hyenas don't seem to fit as well... I second this. While hyeenas are decent hunters, they don't carry the same intimidation factor that a panther does. I'd stick with the panther, imo.

Annunsi Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Taking a break from sculpting a lil bit. Thought about my Lord's claws, and realized they don't fit well with they hyena thing, soooo, back to panther. Besides, it just dawned on my that Hyena Lord just doesn't sound as cool as Panther Lord. I'll have pics up in a few weeks, my camera's busted. But that gives me time to do a lot of modeling since I wanna take pics of the 1st batch of conversions before I start painting them. Now to think of a panther logo. Maybe I'll do the hyenas Chaos when I'm done with these guys.

Khrangar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If I may with regards to the logo: http://www.artuproar.com/uploads/skins/pre.../451thunder.jpg I've also found that the Ragnar's Company pads GW makes look kind of feline in appearance.

Brother Masariel Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 yeessssss! always had the same concept in my head since 2nd edition.. it was feral or angels for my DIY chapter.. went for angels.. but feral cats instead of wolves is a classic.. :) please do them african themed..black people not so black as late sallies.. :rolleyes: and use a contrast color for armours..yours is good but if you have any exposed face (and you gonna have..with all those dreadlocks and curly mohawks!) I suppose orange o yellow would be even better.. :) modified thundercats logo is perfect..and please..drop the hammers for wolfclaws.. and use black panther them for the scouts!..with basque and shotguns! :D good luck..

PlagueBearer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I find the idea thrilling!!! Great sketches and art! I only hope you can find the proper models to best show your ideas... The color scheme is great and the hyena symbol is also nice! They could have a battle cry similar to the Hyena giggle when they prey on the corpses... Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing some painted models!!!

Durus Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I really like your concepts and your style. I'm looking forward to see the models. :P Some thoughts: The first thing I thought of when you mentioned your chaptersymbol was this. And just in case you are still looking for alternative feline models.
