Another Rune Priest (Degar Stormheart)


AcidBurn

Recommended Posts

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).

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

@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?

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.

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 ;)

@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

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...

@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?

C&C welcome as allways

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?

Heres an update: Started the painting and had an accident with the lightning when i was dry brushing him and both bits flicked off but there back on now (i need to be a bit more gentle). ive got to sat im not looking forward to doing the gradual shading on the sword

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

@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).
