Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Even though I have no skills, I am thinking of building my own Logan Grimnar conversion. How did you guys go about making his axe, and his stormbolter arm attachment?

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Anyone have an opinion on having the stormbolter attached to a power fist arm? I know Logan doesn't have a powerfist, but since he can use his axe like one if he wants to, would modeling a powerfist on him be kosher?

Wysten Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sounds very reasonable, just give him an axe in the other hand or some other fanciful weapon and you have a showcase piece. Stormbolter on the power fist sounds cool. I am not able to help on much else, I am still learning the modeling aspects.

farseerixirvost Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 There's really lots of options. The easiest would be to just model a normal hand-held storm bolter - just because the actual Logan sculpt has it wrist-mounted doesn't mean your Logan has to do it that way. Particularly if you're using plastic Wolf Guard terminators, just make sure he's more blinged-out than normal - give him the wolf cape and the wolf pelt loincloth legs to make him stand out. The Grey Knight character Brother Capt. Stern (metal model) has a wrist mounted storm bolter. So if you don't want to do a conversion type gig, just use him. Maybe even swap out the fancy sword he has for an axe. If you're building a Logan from plastic parts, then it shouldn't be to much of a problem to cut an axe/sword off of a left hand (leaving a "clenched fist") and put a wrist-mounted storm bolter on the back of the wrist. As for the storm bolter piece, a few things come to mind. See if a dreadnought's storm bolter attachment isn't too large. If it is, you could modify a hand-held storm bolter. Options there could include either cutting off the magazine and handle/trigger, or you could even just cut off the handle and mount it upside down with the magazine pointing upward. Hope that helps.

YoungWolf Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I used the wolf guard sprue for body and two frostaxes for the axe of morkai. Then I found a nice mauruder head and this is how it turned out.

nurglez Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 this is my renegade chapter master sleipnir, while the claw isn't a brilliant frost weapon stand in, I also wanted a model I could use as Abaddon B) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/my%20logan%20wing/Sleipnir1.jpghttp://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/my%20logan%20wing/sleipnirleft.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2615917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessgod Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm currently converting Logan Grimnar for my "Loganwing" army. Just like YoungWolf, I'm using a Wolf Guard terminator as the base, with a converted axe. For the head, I'll be using one from the grey hunters box. Nothing too special, but it's already looking better than the GW metal mini. ~fearlessgod~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2616532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm most of the way done with mine now, although the axe does not have any wolves on it and I am still figuring out the stormbolter details. God I hate that metal Logan. It is so disproportional. He's either suffering from massive osteoporosis or he is a mutant who's head is lower than his shoulder sockets.

g-unit Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've gone for a FW torso & shoulder pad, WGTerm legs, cloak & storm bolter, to get the maximum amount of wolf icons/tails/heads on to the model. Axe is the shaft from the Chaos Lord Term, head is from a Chaos Warrior with the icons trimmed off and some brass runes stuck on - sure I read that Logan's axe was a reforge chaos weapon, somewhere?

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Here's what I came up with so far. Everything is from the SW termie box, except for his head, the top of the axe, and the stormbolter which are from the regular SW box. http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/Madphatcat/Logan1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2617843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fearlessgod Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Nice model you have there. Looks great to me. You might want to add some more "bling" to him (pelts and such) to make him stand out from his wolf guard a little more, but he's fine as is. ~fearlessgod~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2617855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks man, this is my first time making my own special character. I'm still trying to decide on my cape options. I am not in love with the wolf pelt cape combo, so I have to figure out what else to do (or just leave it off - maybe he is getting it dry cleaned?). Luckily (or unluckily?) my other wolf guard in terminator armor are all right now plain jane boring Black Reach terminators, so there would be no confusion if I kept him as is. In this case, my cheapness is a positive. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2617881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mostly "cape", but there is some furryness on the top of it. I suspect you can bits order it cheaply enough.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here's my almost done Logan. If you look closely he is half falling off his base (not glued on yet, base isn't done yet either) and he doesn't have pupils. And I still have to glue on his head.

TheLastHuzzah Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 No pics on hand, but I used the cloaked SW terminator body, the wolf guard head w/ beard & Bionic eye (Grimnar can get wounded too!). Weapon-wise I used the double-headed axe from the Sanguinary Guard (don't worry, i filled the teardrops with green stuff and added a wolf tail), shaved the symbol off a SW terminator power fist and cut & mounted a storm bolter on that arm. -Huzzah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219112-howd-you-build-your-logan/#findComment-2636071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Son of Russ Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 cool im going to use bjorn northfist as Logan, to get a picture of him (dno how to post them on threads) go on google web and type in Hitech miniatures then choose 54mm and choose bjorn northfist I think he is a good model, also there is a thread on another page with him, called big space wolf miniature or something.
