TheReverend Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Ok, here's how I did it: I took Gabriel Seth's body, lopped the head off and green-stuffed the Ragnar-esque head from the Space Wolves sprue into it's place. I then disregarded the right arm and back-pack. I then took the Flesh Tearer's iconography off the left shoulder pad, chest and left shin and used a bit of green stuff to smooth it over. The icon on the right knee has been designed so that it I recessed, so green-stuffing that over was pretty easy (you could do this with the scroll on the sword too). I fixed a wolf skull from one of the bolters in the Space Wolves box set (but he ones that come in the terminator box set would be just as good) to the chest with a pinch of green-stuff. I then found some wolfy bits from the space wolves accessory sprue and placed them around. I took the wolf pelt from the sprue and chopped the space marine bit off it and then green stuffed that into position (that is the bit I am probably most pleased with, even though you can't see it) and attached a couple of wolf tails to the backpack. At this point I dry-fitted it all together just to check the body, head and sword arm were positioned correctly and pinned the model to the slate base. Next I chopped the sword section into several pieces; the left wrist, the right wrist and the hilt. I took a plastic bolt-pistol arm and lopped the bolt pistol off, then pinned all of these pieces and dry-fitted them together, raising the arm higher above the character's head than the original model. Happy with this, I used green-stuff and superglue to fix it all together and then affixed the Wolf Guard shoulder pad. And that's it. The arm repositioning is the fiddly bit, but it's worth it. If you just filed off the Flesh Tearer's iconography from the original you couldn't have that Space Wolf pad, and I don't think it would look right without it. And a couple of WIP pics: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8091&d=1284883203 http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8092&d=1284883219 http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8094&d=1284883245 http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8096&d=1284883269 And that's it, hopefully that was interesting/useful?

CainTheHunter Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I guess that the hosting site problem, that's why the links are not working - try to host them on B&C.

TheReverend Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Apologies. I'm not sure how to host them on B&C and i don't have one of them there external photo hosting accounts. For some reason i don't have a problem viewing them in this thread though.

Zekk_Sirius Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Apologies. I'm not sure how to host them on B&C and i don't have one of them there external photo hosting accounts. For some reason i don't have a problem viewing them in this thread though. Unless B&C members are signed up for Heresy-online, they'll only be able to see red-crosses.

Valerian Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Apologies. I'm not sure how to host them on B&C... To store your photos here on the B&C, follow these directions: If your digital images are on your computer's hard drive, just go up there where you've got the menu bar (above on this page) that has these options: "My Blog · My Albums · My Controls · View New Posts · My Assistant · My Friends · 0 New Messages", and click on the one that I bolded that says "My Albums". You can create albums there (the process is pretty intuitive - just click the "New Album" button at the top right), then upload however many pictures you want from your computer hard drive to the album. Then, when you want to share a picture in a thread, just copy the "image link" which is found to the right of each picture in your album. Then click the Insert Image button when you are posting into a thread and paste the image link information. That should do you.

Tsavong Lah Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 And that's it, hopefully that was interesting/useful? Absolutely, thanks! I think I might borrow the idea when my army becomes large enough to use Ragnar, if you don't mind.
