El Scotcho Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Not sure I would have chosen the Ultarmarines one, personally, but it looks good so far. Paint it up, I wanna see this bad boy.

The ultramarines one, seemed to have the easiest to remove iconagraphy, as I am not good at MODing, More of a painter then a moder' The banner was a pain to sand as it is super thin. I will post my arjac soon too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182563-custom-forge-world-bjorn-dread-wip/#findComment-2159556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fenrisian Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 That's a sweet conversion! I'm in the process of remodeling my Wolves army to be anti-tyranid in theme, with skulls and claws taken from nids. I thought about getting that UM dread from FW once, but I didn't think I could convert it enough. Well you just proved me wrong! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it finished!

Can't wait to see it finished! if your careful sanding off the logos, and creative with the brass icons the rest is cake. I'm gonna primer him in a day or two, when I re-primer my arjac, but I gotta make a new anvil first. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/153/arjac.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182563-custom-forge-world-bjorn-dread-wip/#findComment-2159603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growler67 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The only thing that sticks out by not looking quite right (Dread) is the wolf tails at the ends of the crossbar. They should hang down and not outward. Arjac looks cool. I'm still working on mine.

Kenmichi Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Xtee, I use a normal TH head but didn't modify it. It doesn't look exactly like an anvil but if you're set on doing that then carefully sand/file the bottom of the back of the head to a rounded off point. You want the top to be flat, blacksmiths needed a flat surface to hammer against. You can put putty in the middle to even it out. Personally I think a plain TH head looks fine as is. But at the very least you want your anvil for Arjac to look bigger, you should also consider bringing it down closer to the body. That high up off the body it sticks out more and its smaller size is more obvious. Another thing I did with my Arjac was cut the hose/wiring from his wrist to hammer. Arjac throws his hammer, it's not going to go very far if it's still attached to his wrist. I suppose he could disconnect it from his wrist to throw, but to me Arjac's ability to throw his hammer with such devastating force demonstrates simply how powerful he is with the hammer and without a power supply. I hope some of my suggestions help, I'm hoping to get more work done on his cloak/pelt before I take some pictures. But don't hold your breath...

shorty Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 take a bit of the sprue you have leftover from assebling miniatures, cut it for your need and then place it between the cut leftover Stormhammer Front and back. After that place some of the round Runes that you maybe have leftover from the Thunderhammerarm and place it on the middle of the left side and the opposite side...hope you know what i mean. Then cut a smaller flat surface and glue it on the top of the middle taken Sprue piece to create a forging plate on your new anvil. Ah and by the way take a Powerarmor front that has the Wolftooth chain on it and carve it slowly of until you have a chain and then glue it to the Terminator head front so it looks like the wolftooth necklace... Dont have pics right now. I take a Black Reach Terminator and modified him with parts of the leftover Space Wolf Terminator sprue and the Space Wolf Accessory or new Space Wolf Sprue. So my count is: -Terminator (Black Reach or you also could take a Space Wolf Terminator) -Terminator Storm Hammer Arm (best will be one from the Space Wolf Terminator Box best looking is the Hero One with the real sculptured Wolf Head on the End) -Terminator Stormshield Arm and Shield (same here best will be the Space Wolf Terminator Box again I used the Shield with the Wolf Head) -Terminator Storm Hammer Head (from the Space Wolf Terminator Box or the normal Close Combat Terminator because you only need the Head, here i used the one with the Runes and the encraved Wolfhead End) -Leftover Sprue Part to build Anvil Middle (you can use every leftover Sprue, i turned it so that the bigger side is facing up looking more like a forging anvil plate) -Smaller flat Sprue Part to make the Envil upper Side - Powerarmor Frontpart with the Wolftooth and Rune on it (on the new Space Wolf Sprue or the older Greyhunter Sprue from the Mailorder, carve of only the front Wolftooth chain from the body without damaging it too much) - one Head from the new Space Wolf Sprue or the Space Wolf Terminator Sprue (I found out that the Head from a Longfang One (no hair looking like he has two big Earphones on) will be the best head for Arjac. - Wolfpelt (selfmade from greenstuff or using the one from the Space Wolf Terminator box or Greyhunter Upgrade Sprue (the wolfpelt on the back Powerarmor) - two leftover Terminator Shoulderguards (you can use the plain ones, i did it and used the wolfskull on the left shoulder to have a replacement for the Terminator Honours).... Puhhh thats all hope you can understand it because my english is not so good....but if i look at the Black Reach Terminator right now it definitly is an improvement over the normal one...and i have a character model made...so happy kitbashing and show us what you made... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182563-custom-forge-world-bjorn-dread-wip/#findComment-2163974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
