Shadow Jester Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 the only problem i have is with the skull rope is seems much too bulky perhaps if you had them on a single string?? other than that everything is looking really really awesome.

AcidBurn Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 ok heres the next installment in the saga of mugen thunderbrow *what is this? . . . . its not clear . . . . where must i go?. . . . .ah yes, its getting clearer. That's it that's the place.* upon pondering a recurring dream he was having Mugen Thunderbrow took with him a contingent of elite wolf guard and set out to hexus prime, a hive world of billions of imperial lives on a hunch, a hunch that was telling him evil was there a great evil that would consume the planet if it was not nipped in the bud quickley enough. the thunderhawk screamed through the sky and the rune priest and his wolf guard sat protected in its armoured belly. all around them smoke rose and polluted the sky. no vegitation grew on its acrid wastes and the ground was nothing but black ash. the thunderhawk set them down a few miles from the capital city, and they began the trek onward. "stay sharp wolf brothers" Mugen communicated through his vox bead. "theres nothing here priest" exclaimed one of the wolf guard. "yeah why are we here? theres nothing but ash and smoke, and the smell is annoying my nose" complained another "Gunnar, dont doubt my visions, and Fray stop moaning and get on with the mission" Mugen shot back "unless you want to feel the blunt end of my staff where the sun dusnt shine" the strike force continued on until they got to the boundrys of the city, and suddenly they heard groaning long and loud. "whats that?" gunnar asked "GAH what in morkai's black beard are they?" A wolf guard toting a heavy flamer yelled in surprise "there everyware, how did they get the drop on us so fast?" Fray exclaimed "Burn abominations!" the heavy flamer wielding wolf guard yelled in murdorous glee "Duun dont waist your ammunition" Mugen scolded "they are nothing more than flesh puppets, corrupted by some foul evil" the strike force heeded the lightning wolfs advice and proceded to dispatch the zombie like creatures with little or no trouble some of the wolf guard looked like they were almost having fun simply backhanding the walking corpses. it was clear that some of the wolf guard were having a little too much fun as fray was taking delight in pulling the arms and legs off some of them and watching them wriggling around on the floor before popping their heads with a well placed terminator armoured boot whilst Duun was making several of them walk into each other and then dispatching them with a well placed punch. Everything was going well until they came to a ridge overlooking the main city gate. "by Russ and the allfather!" a wolf guard proclaimed "there are thousands of them" "this must be what hell looks like" Gunnar stated "oh no my lad, i have seen hell, i have knocked upon its door and in comparison this is a walk in the park" mugen said with all the wisdom of the world wolf in his voice. "Lets get em!" fray and duun yelled and then proceded to charge down the ridge howling at the top of their three lungs " oh no looks like wel have to go and dig them out" Gunnar the older and more experienced space wolf groaned. and with that they all plunged into the mass of zombies, the fight was going well for a time there was large piles of slain starting to form but the walking dead kept piling in and after a long time had passed it was obvious that the wolf guard despite being clad in terminator armour were starting to feel outbumbered. still more and more zombies piled in and Mugen watched from the ridge waiting for something to show its self. "priest were getting swamped down here, if you are supposed to be the conduit of the lightning wolf why dont you just fry these things?" said Gunnar mockingly "Do not bait me Wolf! my power is not to be used lightly!" the Rune priest Shot back Anger building "comon were getting swamped out here, they just keep on coming!" Fray interjected "fine i shall demonstrate my power to you pups, form a perimeter i will be there shortly" the space wolves formed a circle and began to fall back there were so many zombie now that there was no telling how many there ware. with a crack and a flash the lightning wolf appeared amongst the wolf guard. "now you shall see young ones" Mugen proclaimed upon his arrival the rune priest began to mutter and chant words of the aincients and within a couple of minuets there was a glowing blie aura around his hands with a slight arching of electric discharge then with a loud bellow smacked his hands together. thr resulting wave of force sent the unliving horde sprawling to the ground electrical discharge spiking everyware, the creatures did not get up. "that was amazing" Dunn stated in wounder "never make me prove my power again pups" Mugen coldly replied "that was indeed an impressive display of power" a raspy voice said suddenly Mugen whirled around to confront this new voice, and what he saw sickened him, what appeared before him was a hideous, tortured, cripple that was once an imperial commisar, his eyes bulged, bile dripped from his mouth and all over every bit of exposed flesh there were pockmarks and boils of the most repulsive green brown colour mugen had ever seen and over the mans skin there was a shiny film of phlegm and mucus. "i am the vessil of murlak!" right thats enough for tonight as im tired and have to be up early 2morrow part 2 to this tale will resume on thursday Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183355-building-a-rune-priest/page/2/#findComment-2174360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I like the tone of your fluff bits, I also had a DBZ flashback at your description of the first battle. :D On your fluff, read it over again and add some proper capitalisation as you are misisng it in almost all sentences. (Not that I am a spelling wizard, especially not in english as it's not my native language). I think that would really improve the readability. On your rune priest model, I have two suggestions. Cut off the hand holding the lightning orb, and rotate it so the the lightning arcs outward in front of him instead of upwards. I'm thinking something like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars here would look even better. Also I'm not shure about the string of skulls, perhaps you could do with one less skull on the chain. As they are now they look a bit to bulky and tacked on. You could also try to make them blend in a bit better if you cut some of the back off so they don't stick out as much. Still, great looking conversion there, I look forward to a finished model with the paint and everything on.

Oldenhaller Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 keen ;) Always like the look of psychic powers in an upturned palm. Understated they add realm dramatism. Are you thinking of OSL once you've starte painting? ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183355-building-a-rune-priest/page/2/#findComment-2174741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfran Morkai Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Sir, your lighting has made me very happy indeed. I might have to go take a cold shower. :) Really nice use of colours and the light on the armour is fantastic! Have a large one on me!

Veldrik Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 quick point - varnish with gloss, and then brush on matt varnish (pearl or something) to give a bit more of a "glowing" feel. eg if all the armour looks dull, the lit bits look partly bright, and the source is so frigin shiny that it looks like crystal (double coat of gloss varnish for example) your call - but varnishes can be used for effects also liquid resin (although at this size it may cover details if you aren't careful) and better yet, other brand dust/effect paints.
