AcidBurn Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hail and well met brothers, hand me an Ale for i have returned! I hope you have all had a very merry Christmas and a very drunk new year! Ive been out of the hobby for a little while as ive had lots of things going on over the last month and a half. however i come to you today with some new minis (well just one at the moment). Here he is http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0002-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0003-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0004-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0005-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0007-1.jpg As you can probably tell he will be leading the Skyclaws into battle, I have always loved this mini and have always thought of using it however i never had the balls to hack off his head and use him for my wolves. (funny thing: As i was clipping off the top half of his head i put a bit too much force into it and the piece of metal flew across my local GW and hit the store manager in the eye lol) The axe is of our good friend and mentor Mr Grimnar the plasma pistol arm and head is off the new sprue. pretty simple conversion really well then, questions and C&C welcome P.S. i will be adding pictures of the Skyclaws later tonight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188833-back-to-the-fang-i-have-returned/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niiai Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wow! I realy like it. :-) Good colours and the blue realy stand out. Even in the ice axe and in the plasma pistol, it looks realy good. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188833-back-to-the-fang-i-have-returned/#findComment-2234462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 i still cant decide weather or not i like our new chain swords they dont seem as long. i was quite happy with the poses and i think they look cool wen there all togeather with the different heights and all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188833-back-to-the-fang-i-have-returned/#findComment-2234756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Poses are very natural looking, nice work. You still planning to do some mold line removal work?

Night Runner Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Great poses with the SkyC Acidburn and the Wolf Priest is painted very well, especially the Axe. A very nice touch. Congrats :lol: I have to admit, I'm not fond of the way GW sculpted the Wolf helmet in general, it looks a bit cartoonish. I would have preferred a Wolf Skull helmet. This is just my opinion, nothing to do with your great paint job. In fact, I think you put it to good use with the Wolf Priest, and your paint job made it more menacing. Double congrats.

AcidBurn Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 cheers for the kind comments, i wasnt too keen either on the wolf helm, but i figured id give it a go, i was Initially going to paint the face plate solid black and leave the eyes blue, but i thought it a good idea to tie it in with the rest of my army and go for white. whilst i remember i also did this to all the non helmeted Skyclaws http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0021-1.jpg ive never seen this done on any assault marines before, theres nothing tieing them on as in my minds eye i imagine that parts of space marines power armor are magnetized like master chief in halo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188833-back-to-the-fang-i-have-returned/#findComment-2234808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice touch, i always thought it was dumb to go into battle without a helmet! They'll look doubly impressive if you paint them as well as you painted the wolf priest.

Grey Mage Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The wolf priests head looks a little disjointed, di you have problems removing the metal one?

Schertenleib Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I like the winged skulls on the jump pack. I have to agree with Grey Mage that the helmet seems a bit off. Other than that great work ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188833-back-to-the-fang-i-have-returned/#findComment-2235008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think you have to click to enlarge the picture to get a good look at that helmet, it's actually a clever mod.

AcidBurn Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 yeah i did have loads of trouble hacking the origional head off and i clipped the wolf helm down to fit. it looks at an odd angle because the wolf helm is longer than a normal helmet also the way the model is positioned cheers for the comments ive got more time to work on them today as everything has been called off today in Warrington due to the heavy snow weve had last night. eeeeeeee i love the snow.

SamaNagol Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 For future reference. Buy a dremmel tool and do such mods at home. It makes for a much more precision job. Nice work though.

AcidBurn Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 yeah ive got one but the attachments i have are all awkward to use, so i will be buying a new set of them. ok well ive got on with some painting there not finished but here is the progress ive made http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0023-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0022-1.jpg i used these guys the other day against one of the staff members purple cobras (salamanders successor chapter so lots of flamers) and ive got to say i feel very peeved that i spent 30 odd pounds and they diddnt perform well at all, even being led by a wolf priest, although my opponent was having a stupid bout of luck with his dice roles. It was a bog standard tactical squad of 10 led by pedro (i think thats the character he was using?) and i got the charge! im putting it down to bad luck myself. it almost makes me want to abandon painting them. well C&C, support and encouragement welcome for Russ and the Wolftime!

Grey Mage Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well thats more like hitting a squad of GHs led by a WGBL really. Probly after theyve shot you up a turn or two. Though I must ask- have you considered putting a PF in there instead of the PW? Seriously, the models look beautiful, givem a couple more tries before you abandon them. And if you do abandon them send me a PM- Id be more than happy to pay postage :cuss.

SamaNagol Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Yes it is the jump pack Chaplain. Lovely model, even if some of the proportions are a bit weird.
