stinkenheim Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 it looks really cool, a nice touch using the skull on the crozius. the only thing im not sold on is the wolf pelt... it just doesn't seem to fit to me. otherwise nice model dude Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184356-new-wolf-priest-wip/#findComment-2179010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammon Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Impressive! You actually beat me to the conversion! I was going to use the same Chaplain model and Wolf helm combination, though I was not going to add the pelt (I already used it on my Battle Leader). I also used the Wolf Helm from the SW Pack box to make a Wolf Priest. To me the helmet doesn't look good unless its on a hero character such as a WP or RP. Looks good!

TiguriusX Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Jump pack + cape/pelt seems like an accident waiting to happen...I picture it clogging the exhaust or bursting into flames or something Do you have any other wolfy items like talismans or a belt or something?

Grimfoe Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I think it is a very nice conversion. I'm not against the pelt, but I'd probably use a smaller one. Maybe the pelt that's attached to the rear of the GH torso? You could use two pelts to get the effect you're looking for. Maybe one underneath the back of the jump pack and one on top of it.

AcidBurn Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 like it the cape is cool, however the jump pack does seem a bit too high on him, if it was me i would try and hack away some of the bear pelt so the jump pack fits a little bit better, then tidy it up with greenstuff. personaly im not sold on the wolf helm on my wolves its nice but i prefer bare heads as i find you can add alot more dynamic movement with the hair looking good so far, are you planning on doing anything else to it?

nurglespuss Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think its great, and was also tempted to do similar!! as I have the model sat in front of me :unsure: However, despite liking it, it does look like he's crashed through someones window and taken the curtains with him....

Dark Bjoern Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I´ve added some Wolf teils and a new belt http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/WolfPriestwithJumppackWIP6.jpg It´seems that GW had forgotten how to make good fitting metal models. If you try to put the Jumppack on the Chaplain it doesn´t fit at all. Cause of the arms and shoulder pads the jumppack if already far away from the back. Through the pelt the jumppack is a bit higher then normal it looks much better then without. I´m very happy with the result and together with his Skyclaw Pack he´s an absolutly outstanding personality.

Rizara Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 nice conversion, but the thing is to me, the cape doesn't fit well with the jump pack. Having wolf pelts over his shoulder pads, or as a tabard would work, but the long cape and a jump pack doesn't seem to fit well. Mostly cause that cape would be charred and burned and would become more of a hinderance than simply being impressive. But thats just me. Otherwise i think its a great conversion.

CainTheHunter Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If You can get Your hands on it - try the wolf tabard from Chaos Marauder Horsemen - the one on the right http://bitzbarn.com/oscommerce/catalog/ima...mqybihspwixpuwc I have used it on GH models and it fits perfectly under the power-backpack and has a slightly leftward motion, suggesting some dynamics.

Grimfoe Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I don't know, with the added bits, it seems more in scale to me. I think it will look very good once painted.

maznaz Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like the concept but the execution seems a little off. That cloak + bear pelt doesn't seem to fit and I'm afraid the head on a miniature in that pose just makes me think of: http://www.flash-programming-tricks.com/ar...ger-Badger.html Sorry to sound negative; I think there is a lot of potential in that miniature.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Looking good there mate, I was sat this morning wondering if that figure would make a good Wolf Priest / jump pack conversion, I'm now sold.
