KhornateKiller Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey Brothers, Been quite a while since i did any work on my wolves ANyway with my xmas money i bought another box of termies and i had been looking in the first box at the size of the frost axe and thinking that would be a fair size double headed axe. So after hour or so tinkering i have come up with my version of the great wolf himself :) http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0004.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0005.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0006.jpg What do u guys think? Still got trinkets to put on him and just had a great idea to put something on the axe which i will add a pic of later :) I know the head not quite right but best i could do :( C&C plz guys good or bad KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lucas Raziel Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I like it, and i dont like many Space Wolves! like you said, i think a new head would help, and please, get rid of the magazine on the end of the storm bolter, really doesnt work! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 ok switched the bolter mag and here what i did with the axe :devil: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0011.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0012.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lucas Raziel Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i think you should just get rid of the magazine entirely to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Mabey make something similar to the grey knight amunition belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jimster Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 yeah i agree no magazine at all tho must say overall i love the model and prefer it to the standard logan grimnar, tho also i think an 'older' looking head would fit the model better Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chodjinn Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Great conversion! I'm planning something similar with the axe when i get round to my logan. Good pose too, but yeah lose the mag for the storm bolter and make a belt feed or something. All good tho so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 what would you guys reckon to using the ammo belt from the chaos heavy bolter ? As the wolves have got a slight ferelness about them ? If not suggestions for belt feed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Look at their assault cannons. Alternatively, what about getting a hold of some chaos bolters with the belts hanging out. Get a few of those, reposition them and glue them together to form a large belt that fits snugly under his cloak where the box would be. Btw, that is a badass SW. That guy has a serious presence.

Asrech Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 That's one big ol' gnarly wolf! I like the version you've done ( like the original as well ), I think the second way you did the mag for the S-bolter was better, but I'm wondering if it wouldnt look even better by dropping the mag ( as has been stated ). But I think the belt feed would be too much... as a stormbolter just doesn't have the rate of fire to demand such an ammo-feed ( going by a-cannon belt ). If you did your own belt, a smaller version ( like that on the pedro cantor modell ) I think it might be cool! All in all a very solid conversion! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Targhost Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hey like your model of Grimnar :huh: and what about taking one of the amobelts from the newer plastic heavy bolters? Cheers and a happy new year too btw.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks for ll the replys guys, What im going to do is take a few pics. 1. What i changed it to at the mo. 2. No ammo at all 3. With an attempt at ammo belt. Will get them up in a bit, The mrs is out at the mo so that means Call Of Duty time ;D while i can. Will then work on the big guy in a couple of hours or so and get the pics up :eek EDIT. Right searching through my not so vast bits box a came across and old attack bike heavy bolter with ammo belt. Is this something like what u guys were thinking ? Struggling to find a better "older" head than the one i have as the rest of the older heads all have either a top knot or not hair :( I think the way its bent adds to the sense of movement :eek ? http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/KhornateKiller/Image0016.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 looking good cant think of an older looking head but i like the ammo belt idea, looks good, keep it up :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 will need some advice to, How would you recommend painting the wolf pelt ? I want it the white pelt like he has but not sure on doing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Scourge Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 base black, dry brush greys working up to skull white? Might be a bit too rudimentary for what you're aiming for. I know they have had fur tutorials in recent White Dwarfs. January and October if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I like the ammo belt, the sixe fits just right and it has thast half-crude SW way kinda look to it :lol: As for the pelt I'd say white or gray. In my mind it would be the pelt of a alpha male just as onl and gnarly as himself, not some upstart pup. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0wstorm Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I really like this version of the Great Wolf. Very dynamic pose IMHO. Love how you did the Axe. Good job on it! With the extra long handle it looks huge, but thats how it must look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blckbuster Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 it's most likely too late for this suggestion but, two wolf heads facing away from each other would be really nice on the ax morkai otherwise truly well done, and amazing what you can do with plastic now a days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I like the new ammo belt! Definetely more Space-Wolfy then before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
