Demonslayer Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I've just finished making and painting a Rune Priest so I would have one in power armour. The pictures are below, but would like to know if he looks like one and won't be mistaken for a different model. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/madnickdmx/RP6.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/madnickdmx/RP5.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/madnickdmx/RP2.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/madnickdmx/RP1.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/madnickdmx/RP7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191229-my-rune-priest/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well that all depemnds on the rest of your army. TO be honest without seeing them I could not comment. Does he look like a rune priest to me? Personnaly he looks more like a empire flagelant, that could be the bell he is holding. I dont understand whats happening with the colour of the armour, its grey with patches of blue? Personnaly if the rest of your army use the same colour for the armour try painting the rune priest a much lighter shade/ Also give him a staff, that would help as only Rune priest have staffs. Maybe one made of oak Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191229-my-rune-priest/#findComment-2268749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 first of all, welcome to the fang, guess you're a new whelp here;) to me he doesn't scream runepriest, why not first, there's his seniority: in wolf's honour it's mentioned that only once a bloodclaw becomes a grey hunter he's allowed to grow himself facial hair. as such in my opinion every none bloodclawmodel should have some sort of facial hair, the longer the more experienced imo. as such imo a runepriest should atleast have some sort of beard or such second: he's not carrying any runepriest excluvive thing, like for example a staf, or how a rosarious defines a wolfpriest. this guy's runeweapon(an axe) could easely be mistaken by a frostblade third: when looking at GW models of runepriests and librarian an always returning thing on them are the 2 cables running down over the breastplate. maybe including these could help to make him somewhat more runepriest-ish? anyway, have an ale pup!

AcidBurn Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 its a nice model but he kind of just looks like a wolf guard waving a bell (is the bell part of his fluff?) rune priests typically have mad staffs on realy ornate axes of swords i would have tried to make him have a more dynamic pose aswell. also do have you bought the new box set yet? there are loads of parts to make an amazing rune priest with. how are your greenstuffing skills aswell? you can sculps some pretty gnarly looking wolf cloaks with very little effort. personally if i was playing you i would not recognize him as a rune priest. i think that rune priests need to stand out from the normal space wolves im not trying to put you down by the way if i sound a bit harsh. it is just constructive criticism. also il say if your happy with it then go with it, however if you fancy re building him im sure all of us on the fang can give you some very good ideas and help you build an amazing model that everyone in your gaming group will be going like this over ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191229-my-rune-priest/#findComment-2268780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonslayer Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 My photo doesn't help, my armour is blue and grey with bits of green and runes. I could not find a head with a beard, and for some reason, I don't know why I did, I wanted a book or something like it but condn,t find one so used the bell. Same as I didn't have a staff but they also use axes When I get some time I'll see what I can do to him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191229-my-rune-priest/#findComment-2271133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niiai Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I like the ideas with the runes but you use a lott of chaos black on just plain blue. Perhaps if you used it more sparsly or used another colour on top of it making it glow.
