AcidBurn Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have recently been running 2 rune priests in my list and seeing as i have been listening to my recently purchased thunder from Fenris CD i felt in the mood to convert up another one. he is Degar Stormclaw second to Mugen Thunderbrow of the council of 4 (i aim to have 4 rune priests in my army). http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0076.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0080.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0078.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0077.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0079.jpg what does everybody think of the lightning? i wanted to give the impression that he is channeling his power through his weapon. I am going to sculpt a wolf pelt over his shoulders to hide the rough shoulder pad on his left and tie in with the cape. well then C&C welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarapham Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Looks very nice.. although it looks like the sword has stag horns abit at the moment I know it will get much better when you paint it :D. Just wondering... the storm shield is just there for the looks right?

rodgers37 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Nice model :D I like your wolf's pelt as well, its kinda how mine is painted, but better :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2253778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 he looks good but i miss some sort of banner thingy on his terminator armor, i think it would make him look bigger Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2253796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainsawDR Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I think you need to make the lightning more *Sharper*, as the round edges/curves make them look like stag horns. Looks great as a model though, cant wait to see it finished and painted.

AcidBurn Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 @Sarapham: yes the storm shield is just there to look cool. @hendrik: He will look bigger but i was never a fan of banners attached to the top of TDA (look like it would get in the way) @ChainsawDR: I cant realy make it any sharper, it will look much better once painted (have you seen my other rune priest? his lightning was done the same way) ok cheers for the replies gents. im thinking of adding a wolf head attached to his left shoulder pad and then sculpt the pelt over his shoulders to make logans cape look more intergrated into the model, i mighr add some clasps on his breast plate to make it look like its attached. what do u think?

AcidBurn Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Oke doke ive done a bit more work on him today: i decided rather than having clasps to told the pelt on i would try sculpting wolf paw/leg/arm things hanging down over his shoulders, in order to do this i had to lop off his head. I am waiting for the greenstuff to cure before i sculpt fur over the top of them. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0084.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0083.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0085.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0086.jpg for decoration i want to use a wolf head and a wolf skull, however i am in two minds on what to do the first opsion is this http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0087.jpg the second option is this http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0089.jpg obviously i will tidy them up which ever way i choose C&C welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2256439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 update: finished sculpting the wolf pelt and given him his head back also gone with the first option for the shoulder pad and top of armour. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/22012010154.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/22012010156.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/22012010155.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2257823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taeken Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The lightning is pretty sweet. I may have to steal your idea and do a version of my own :yes: Nice GS too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2257842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 ABSOLUTELY! This is lookin' good, although I think the armor on the wolf head looks a little weird. You wouldn't stick armor on a trophy. GS work is top notch, but please tell me he's gunna have a huge beard...love those ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2257912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 @Taeken: Feel free to steal away lol @space wolf: I will try and sculpt a big beard on him if you want. Yeah the armour was a bit wierd but it was the only wolf head i had left bit it wll look different (i had a realy nice old dire wolf head but i lost it someware on my desk :) ) mabe it was his pet wolf and it died/got killed and he had decorative armour commisioned for it or something lol. glad dpeople like him il do some tidying up on him tomorrow keep the C&C coming Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2258029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Love it, and GS is insane. I have to agree with the armor on the wolf head. THe only wolves to were armor would be those the Space wolves train, and care for. This looks like he mounted his pet wolf =/ Other then that ev erything else looks great. love the shield added to the knee...

AcidBurn Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 @Tybrus: yeah the armour on the wolf head did look a tad silly, i have now changed it @space wolf: there ya go a big bushy beard for you ok doke heres an update: well ive nearly finished the build and so far i think hes looking quite good. i changed the wolf head for an un-armored one (in the process i had to sacrifice my first wolf priest, he is now feasting in the halls of Russ :) ) i added a beard and would like peoples opinions on it? longer, shorter, fatter, thinner etc? http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0101.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0100-1.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0102.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0103.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0104.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/greatjojoman/DSC_0105.jpg C&C welcome as allways Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2259781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Space wolves power armor heaters must not work that well cuz of all the furs they use to keep warm. ;P Awesome GS man. Love the lightning. Cant wait to see the paint. Hey... Something I always wondered about... With all those long locks and beards, how do Space wolves get their sealed helmets on?

Skirax Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wolf Brother, your modelling skill are insane! And your painting, for that matter. That Wolf Lord is the pinnacle of perfection. Absolutely brilliant. As for the Rune Priest, he's coming along really nicely, I think the lightning is going to look really good when it's finished. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190182-another-rune-priest-degar-stormheart/#findComment-2261158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofwaranddeath Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 what are the bits you used for the lightning? They are fantastic! Great modeling.

AcidBurn Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 @Skirax: flattery will get you everyware lol, wolf lord? are you referring to one of my older threads? @sonofwaranddeath: ahhh i see youve been reading my thread on Mugen Thunderbrow, thankyou very much for you compliments, the lightning is just wood elf dryad branches. thankyou everyone for your views and comments i shall be adding the object source lighting later today with the Council Of 4 idea that sonofwaranddeath reminded me of: does anyone have any ideas on what i should do for the other 2 rune priests im having another in power armour and another in TDA? Any ideas will be most welcome (i gotta say i am running out of ideas).
