I hate you. :P

 

In other words, that looks awesome.

Amazing stuff slaine, absolutely love it.

 

Now, I don't mean to burst your praise bubble (I just have a critical eye with art) :( , but the Frost Blade doesn't make sense and doesn't work. You need to reverse the facing on the teeth on one side I think.

 

Again sorry to be the first to criticize but it's just me being me :( , however the musculature on that Ork is amazing! And you've managed to capture the rag tag chaotic sense of both Orks and a SPace Wolf in fight!! :P

It's not a chainsword, as Ranwulf pointed out. It's just a barbed/toothed sword.

 

Take a closer look at the "wolf's mouth" doesn't actually accommodate a chain blade.

@Ranwulf, Mithril Hound & Angelfire: I always envisioned them as special chainblades, especially after reading in the codex something about chainblades with Kraken Teeth. It also appears to look like a chainblade in the Omnibus artwork and I assumed it had a compressed motor rather than those bulky ones.

 

But that's just me, still an awesome piece of art there slaine!

Codex: Space Wolves: Page 57, last paragraph:

 

"Amongst the most prized weapons of the entire Chapter, each Frost Blade and Frost Axe is crafted by a master Iron Priest. Many Frost Blades use the diamond-sharp fangs of the Ice Kraken for their chainsaw blades..."

 

It's a chainsaw, with moving teeth. Still, they look badass enough, and sharp enough, that they could easily cut, regardless of direction. Amazing piece of artwork Slaine. You've outdone yourself!

The whole issue with the chain teeth direction can be explained by suggesting there are two sets of teeth, in inner halves of which are within the blade housing, so that the outer edge teeth all move towards the hilt (which would be better for a chainblade anyway).

 

Excellent artwork btw.
