MaveriK Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Been working my real job and picking up shifts here and there with my other job, having no time to paint or update. Thankfully starting next week I will have a more steady schedule to finally get the ball going once again! more updates soon... been playing with scions for my kaels lately. So far so good. --EDIT-- I've decided to go with the paint scheme shown in this following link: http://taleofpainters.blogspot.ca/2014/07/showcase-tempestus-scions.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211665-vlka-fenryka-wippip-warband-fluff/page/24/#findComment-3976441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also...where is that cloak from on Harald?I've said this before (on here) and I'll say it again. And I do apologize if these words may come off as sounding arrogant/elitist or even rude. But I dislike the word/term “steal” as it takes away from the person saying it. Taking away their ability to be imaginative and original. I would rather have someone say my work has inspired me and or motivated me to be creative with my own work. The word “steal” only cheapens the person saying it and I would like to believe most people aren't that dull... I'm not saying you are dull, I'm just saying this in general terms. I just dislike the word, as words are often abused from their original intend and definition these days. Sadly most people today do not take responsibility of their words and or actions anymore. Words will always retain their power. Sorry for the OCD, professional pride, self monologue there... But I'm glad you like my work and thank you. Anyway, the cloak is from Warhammer Dark Elves range. I only use Forgeworld and Games Workshop bits.

MaveriK Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 :: WIP :: This piece was the humble beginnings of what inspired me to make the current Shield Maiden template for my Thunderwolf Cavalry. It was just a random piece that I put together for my curiosity with the Xenos. It ended up becoming a small splinter force of Farsight Enclaves made up of female Gue'vesa (human) force known as The Widowmakers. This is just a small glimpse of the makings and daily brainstorming into making my Lost Company. A blurry picture of postal105 the Silent Walker. This is an older model done months ago, I just haven't posted it on here. He is a Grey Hunter/Slayer in his own right. If you're going to make a Space Wolf. Make sure they have their own personality and identity. I tend to make each model in my Lost Company stand out enough to proxy as a special character, Wolf Lord or Lone Wolf. Versitility with your models makes it cost effective and pushes/challenges you to be original and creative. I HATE models that all look the same... wolves aren't sheep so why make them all look the same? postal105 the Silent Walker. This model literally came out of nowhere for me! I wasn't intending to do anything with the legs once I cut it off from it's original pose (chaos raptor), but after I did my mind started brainstorming with some ideas. He ended up becoming one of my favorite pieces, especially with how he ended up looking. I love the fluidity and pose. Savage yet noble. He is my happy accident that turned into a spectacular piece. I can't wait to paint him!

Your thread was one of the draws that brought me back again and I always look forward to the updates. It's all good and you're entitled to your opinion. This was never about intelectual property LMAO it was more about carelessly throwing out words without taking responsibility for it. For example, words like "love" and not meaning it, or "respect" and not understanding the definition behind its meaning. I would rather inspire and motivate individuals to pursue their own creativity by challenging themselves with the insight I've given through my art. Passion has it's pride and faults. Inspiration seldom comes in today's age.... when I hear steal, I ask myself. Is he or she going to directly immitate or copy my stuff? or expand and grow from it? it takes away from my work if words "steal" is thrown into the mix. It takes away the sparkle, passion and effort put into my work. It cheapens those involved. That's my take on it... LMAO. But I thank you, knowing that my stuff has inspired you, helps me keep going, in doing what I love to do, with the Space Wolves I enjoy working on and playing with, in this hobby that we all love and hate at the same time!

Argyle Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was just trying to keep it light hearted with the intelectual property comment. I'm a wolf, I can't just roll over! I have to fight! Kidding, kidding. All jokes aside I understand where you are coming from and allow me to say I truly appreciate the attitude you have towards your art. And art it is! Many do not share your sentiment. I do however think a big part of using such a word as 'steal' is todays society and the endless lawsuits you read about for copy right infringement. Our own hobby's creators being at the forefront of no small number of them. I realize this is the extreme scenarios but it carries over to smaller matters... or perhaps its just me! On to whats important, your work (and others here) is truly inspirational, enough so to draw me back as I've stated. I obviously have found a new favorite amongst your models in that last post! LOL. (might be a biased opinion...) That pose... I'm seeing a freight train of a shoulder check coming to be immediately followed by one hell of a shield bash. Thank you for answering the question of weather dwarf heads worked or not. Was it tricky to seat properly in the terminator torso? Also have you tried any of the dwarven shoulder pads? Curious if they work as a "cap" over existing pads or even on there own. I am about to order either a box of Dwarf Hammers or Marauder Horsemen... undecided which, might flip a coin heh. I really love that the hammer box comes with so many weapon heads. Judging by the online sprue pics those dwarf pads might even work on termi knees... hmmm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211665-vlka-fenryka-wippip-warband-fluff/page/24/#findComment-3998870 Share on other sites More sharing options... MaveriK Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 @Argyle, I wanted Oathkeeper to be just a big brute of sheer fury. The fist and the shield and that look in his eyes hulking forward to stomp over some monter or champion. Irondrake heads work great for TDA bodies. I had a few dward head bits ordered online. Originally I was playing around with some ideas using dwarf bits to see if I could mix and match it with a Kaerl guard but it didn't pan out. I've tried other heads on terminator bodies, one from a Hammerer, an Ironbreaker, to a Longbeard head bit. Sadly as great as they look, the only best looking one is from a Irondrake. It was appropriate looking and fit the scale with the terminator. As for the shoulder pads, I've used one or two for power armour to cover up some chaos bits, I've also used one on a Kaerl guard. I haven't seen anybody use dwarf heads on terminators and I wanted to give it a try. It was a little hard to fit in, it all depends on the torso and the posing.... I would suggest getting the Marauder Horsemen heads. They are worth it! The Longbeard axe heads are also just as good. I think they are beautiful.

I would rather have someone say my work has inspired me and or motivated me to be creative with my own work. The word “steal” only cheapens the person saying it and I would like to believe most people aren't that dull... I'm not saying you are dull, I'm just saying this in general terms. I just dislike the word, as words are often abused from their original intend and definition these days. Sadly most people today do not take responsibility of their words and or actions anymore. Words will always retain their power. Sorry for the OCD, professional pride, self monologue there... But I'm glad you like my work and thank you. Anyway, the cloak is from Warhammer Dark Elves range. I only use Forgeworld and Games Workshop bits.

mactire Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Loving this as always May. I love the way your fluff and minis complement each other, really raw and gritty. As a fellow member of the "marines should not ride wolves/fallen brothers" I like the shield maiden concept. I have an idea of my own which I hope to get done during the upcoming ETL.

MaveriK Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 :: WIP :: This piece was the humble beginnings of what inspired me to make the current Shield Maiden template for my Thunderwolf Cavalry. It was just a random piece that I put together for my curiosity with the Xenos. It ended up becoming a small splinter force of Farsight Enclaves made up of female Gue'vesa (human) force known as The Widowmakers. This is just a small glimpse of the makings and daily brainstorming into making my Lost Company. A blurry picture of postal105 the Silent Walker. This is an older model done months ago, I just haven't posted it on here. He is a Grey Hunter/Slayer in his own right. If you're going to make a Space Wolf. Make sure they have their own personality and identity. I tend to make each model in my Lost Company stand out enough to proxy as a special character, Wolf Lord or Lone Wolf. Versitility with your models makes it cost effective and pushes/challenges you to be original and creative. I HATE models that all look the same... wolves aren't sheep so why make them all look the same? postal105 the Silent Walker. This model literally came out of nowhere for me! I wasn't intending to do anything with the legs once I cut it off from it's original pose (chaos raptor), but after I did my mind started brainstorming with some ideas. He ended up becoming one of my favorite pieces, especially with how he ended up looking. I love the fluidity and pose. Savage yet noble. He is my happy accident that turned into a spectacular piece. I can't wait to paint him!

Amarog Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Your work never ceases to inspire and enthrall. reading through all your model descriptions and backgrounds is a real saga of dedication and love. i am still very new to space wolves but i hope that given more time and experience i can also be able to come up with work that is even half as good as these.

Argyle Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 While I understand where you are coming from with that reply, I have to respectfully disagree. Was more or less trying to convey how great your stuff was looking but if you did something I didnt think of and then I recreate that Ive stolen your idea have I not? ;P. That whole silly argument about "intelectual property" heh. I suppose we could say you' ve given me some great ideas I may not have come up with on my own instead. So thank you! I dont feel cheapened at all when I make a statement like "steal" though it may not be the best word choice. I feel thankful. So keep pumping them out! Your thread was one of the draws that brought me back again and I always look forward to the updates.

Your thread was one of the draws that brought me back again and I always look forward to the updates. It's all good and you're entitled to your opinion. This was never about intelectual property LMAO it was more about carelessly throwing out words without taking responsibility for it. For example, words like "love" and not meaning it, or "respect" and not understanding the definition behind its meaning. I would rather inspire and motivate individuals to pursue their own creativity by challenging themselves with the insight I've given through my art. Passion has it's pride and faults. Inspiration seldom comes in today's age.... when I hear steal, I ask myself. Is he or she going to directly immitate or copy my stuff? or expand and grow from it? it takes away from my work if words "steal" is thrown into the mix. It takes away the sparkle, passion and effort put into my work. It cheapens those involved. That's my take on it... LMAO. But I thank you, knowing that my stuff has inspired you, helps me keep going, in doing what I love to do, with the Space Wolves I enjoy working on and playing with, in this hobby that we all love and hate at the same time!

Argyle Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was just trying to keep it light hearted with the intelectual property comment. I'm a wolf, I can't just roll over! I have to fight! Kidding, kidding. All jokes aside I understand where you are coming from and allow me to say I truly appreciate the attitude you have towards your art. And art it is! Many do not share your sentiment. I do however think a big part of using such a word as 'steal' is todays society and the endless lawsuits you read about for copy right infringement. Our own hobby's creators being at the forefront of no small number of them. I realize this is the extreme scenarios but it carries over to smaller matters... or perhaps its just me! On to whats important, your work (and others here) is truly inspirational, enough so to draw me back as I've stated. I obviously have found a new favorite amongst your models in that last post! LOL. (might be a biased opinion...) That pose... I'm seeing a freight train of a shoulder check coming to be immediately followed by one hell of a shield bash. Thank you for answering the question of weather dwarf heads worked or not. Was it tricky to seat properly in the terminator torso? Also have you tried any of the dwarven shoulder pads? Curious if they work as a "cap" over existing pads or even on there own. I am about to order either a box of Dwarf Hammers or Marauder Horsemen... undecided which, might flip a coin heh. I really love that the hammer box comes with so many weapon heads. Judging by the online sprue pics those dwarf pads might even work on termi knees... hmmm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211665-vlka-fenryka-wippip-warband-fluff/page/24/#findComment-3998870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 @Argyle, I wanted Oathkeeper to be just a big brute of sheer fury. The fist and the shield and that look in his eyes hulking forward to stomp over some monter or champion. Irondrake heads work great for TDA bodies. I had a few dward head bits ordered online. Originally I was playing around with some ideas using dwarf bits to see if I could mix and match it with a Kaerl guard but it didn't pan out. I've tried other heads on terminator bodies, one from a Hammerer, an Ironbreaker, to a Longbeard head bit. Sadly as great as they look, the only best looking one is from a Irondrake. It was appropriate looking and fit the scale with the terminator. As for the shoulder pads, I've used one or two for power armour to cover up some chaos bits, I've also used one on a Kaerl guard. I haven't seen anybody use dwarf heads on terminators and I wanted to give it a try. It was a little hard to fit in, it all depends on the torso and the posing.... I would suggest getting the Marauder Horsemen heads. They are worth it! The Longbeard axe heads are also just as good. I think they are beautiful.
