Mr.Wolf Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Used to play years ago, getting back into it with the new codex. My thinking is that Terminators should be quite a bit larger than a normal marine. Wolf Lords should be the largest, most bad-ass warrior in the group (alpha male). I'll admit he is a little larger than I may like (almost as big as a dread) but I wanted to go all out. Let me know what you think, He's still very WIP, I'm only 2 days into it. Sorry for the crappy pics. The fig. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4224.jpg Some detail. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4229.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4230.jpg With a standard marine and one of my home made termies. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4226.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TH0R3 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think the torso might be a bit TOO large( looks a bit like a bobble head) other models look quite good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wolf Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well the legs are just wired together and nowhere near done. His waist is going to get nice and beefy to hopefully bridge the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wolf Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Alright, so I decided that for all the work Im putting into him I want to use the model in game, rather than a mostly show pice. So I took some height off of him and brought him down more towards the level of my regular termies. This makes him look beefier overall. Might take some more off but Im not sure. The inspiration for the pose is originally from the new SW codex cover. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4231.jpg Another detail shot... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/Figs/IMG_4232.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think I don't really get that mini. From what I can see of the proportions, his torso would be twice as long as that of a normal person. Oo But it's kind of hard to see where the chest ends and the waist begins. Maybe a less dynamic pose would be better with so many details on the figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Noble Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think I can see where the problems with proportions are stemming from. The feet. I understand it's still very WIP, but the feet are tiny for a figure that huge. Once you fix that, he'll look better. Also I think the pose makes him seem short in the legs, when it's because he's leaning forward so much... At least that's what it looks like. Once you've fleshed him out more, and gotten a few more snaps from different angles I'll have more to say. Keep it up! He looks the way a WL should! -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wolf Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yeah I apologize for the crappy pics...Also, I had to paint the torso/waist area black to make sure my GS work was flush...but I did some GS work on the legs and feet (made them bigger). Ill get some pics as soon as the GS cures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wolf Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Quick update...started GSing the legs. It's pretty rough because I've never done it before. Bad pics again but Im in a hurry. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/IMG_4233.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Mr.Wolf/IMG_4236.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Wolf Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Didnt spend any time on it because you cant see it when the model is together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Apart from being a rather busy kitbash, i think you've done very well so far. But those legs just aren't right. Now i know marines aren't exactly the most anatomically correct beings (by GW model standards) but yours do need a fair amount of work to look right. I know you can't see the crotch area on the compiled model but the gap between the legs is too large, and consequently the angles don't look natural even with the wolf pelt in the way. Might i suggest narrowing his pelvis and then bulking out the grieves to get the visual balance right and i think your model will be on the right path.

Mr.Wolf Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yeah I see your point on the pelvis. It always did looks weird, just needed someone else to confirm it,haha And what do you mean by grieves? Lower legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtakuGundam Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I think it looks good except for the torso/head piece being much to busy and too big for the head. rather, the head it too low of the model and to small. but the concept is very nice. the model seems a bit busy. also, the flamer-melta thing hanging off of the torso makes him seem like he is a techmarine.

Alys Dwr Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 And what do you mean by grieves? Lower legs? Aye, the grieves are the lower leg armour. Needs to be a bit mor bullet proof looking on your model and job's a good un! Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 could be good but the proportions seem really off, the arms are to low for where his shoulders should be, along with that those regular shoulder pads look tiny compared to the size of his "head surround thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
