Skirax Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've recently modelled a Rune Priest, finished the painting all except for... the head! I don't know which head to give him; Helmetted or bare? Which of each? And as for the wolves, I bought two of the plastic wolves from GW online, and they're currently in the post. I'm just asking for advice on what to use them as and how to use them. Cheers in advance ;) Skirax Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192016-rune-priest-head-and-fenrisian-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 for hqs i always like the idea of helmetless while realistically daft rune priest/shamans that they are should be at one with the elements they call on able to feel it on their skin, smell it, feel it, and hear it in ways that the helmet can not (i believe) allow. as for the wolves since you seem to only have 2 honorary extra wounds to either a lone wolf or a hq on his own.

Skirax Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok, so bare head, but which one? I'm thinking; one of the ones with the topknot.

EricBasser Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 So does that give you only 2 wolves? Or is it 10 wolves? GW sells the old Dire Wolves in a pack of 5 if I remember correctly.

Skirax Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 No, they're the bitz pack called, simply, 'Wolves' and are 5 for £8. Ordered two. So that's ten :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192016-rune-priest-head-and-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2278932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 for heads im rather fond of bald beard and moustache combo, or the wolf guard head with several beard tails and cyborg eye, or any of the ones with hair flowing in the wind. lends much more to the elements taking part in the model.

Skirax Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I chose the one with mohawk and braided right tail. I looked at a bald, bearded moustached guy and he didn't really seem to fit.

Sarapham Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I can recommend marauder/marauder horsemen heads from the fantasy lines, some of them works very well and adds abit of diversity Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192016-rune-priest-head-and-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2279061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Personally, I don't really like seeing helmetless marines. Why wear all this armor when a simple head shot can kill so easily?

Grim Dog Studios Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Because a SW senses are so keen that to wear a helmet it would make thier job alot more harder, as they wouldnt be able to hear as good or to small as good.

Up until they got hit in the head with a bolter round. If that's even true. Autosenses are supposed to be pretty good. And what if they're fighting in a hostile environment, such as space?

Xeenos Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I asume they carry their helms with them, but have them off if possable. Just think of when you ride a bike.. do you want on that itichy helmit, or do you want to FEEL the wind in your hair!? Which totally gives me a new modaling idea for my Wolves if i buy new figures for whatever reasion.. always have the helm somewhere on the figure.. be it hanging from their belt, perhaps laying on the ground.. maybe have one smashed at the feet of a Space Wolf while his head is bloody from the wound.. Im not a big fan of having the helms on becouse i feel it takes away alot of the emotion in the figures.. but this idea totally doubles the whole thing! Mmm..

Prosedragon Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I think the head with the eye patch, from the terminator box, would look good on a rune priest.
