CainTheHunter Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Since my creativity is not so good :( I am looking ideas to make 3 pre-heresy rune priests in power armor. Any ideas would be appreciated. :) I am not implying he is pre-heresy, but he's pretty tough one ;) No leather masks however. http://content20-foto.inbox.lv/albums133683615/emils_photo/Halfdane-One-Eyed/Image00001.jpg http://content20-foto.inbox.lv/albums133683626/emils_photo/Halfdane-One-Eyed/Image00005.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222104-ideas-for-pre-heresy-rune-priests/#findComment-2654373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrogers3 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's cool. Looks like that is based off a chaos warrior model? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222104-ideas-for-pre-heresy-rune-priests/#findComment-2654544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CainTheHunter Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's cool. Looks like that is based off a chaos warrior model? Exactly! The axe is made from two power axes of the old SW sprue, the owl is from Wood Elves Dryads sprue.

Sarapham Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have something similar with one of my rune priests: http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4340/imag0017iq.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222104-ideas-for-pre-heresy-rune-priests/#findComment-2654589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 One thing that I noticed in Prospero Burns about the rune priests is they tended to be armed with swords. This seems to relate to he Fenrisian culture of "high-status swords" that some members of the Balts carried at the beginning of the book. So perhaps witht e stature that rune priests hold with the Wolves, the majority would be armed with these symbols of "high-status" runic weapons. It really makes me re-think the spear/staff I gave my TDA rune priest.

chino Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You should check this out - some awesome conversion by some of our very own. If you go this route, the remaining bits in the Chaos Warriors box lend themselves to some terrific conversions for other Independant Characters and Wolf Guard, as shown in the same tutorials. Alternatively Chaos Lord HQs - like this - lend themselves to some great Pre-Heresy conversions. I actually used this particular model myself, I'll try and edit this post with a nice blurry photo of what I did. Edit: Sorry for the blurriness, I took the picture with my phone. I hope this helps with what you were looking for.

mitchell93 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I thought we didn't use psykers till after the heresy due to Nikea? Or am I missing something, I have only just started pre heresy/heresy era reading.

Blckbuster Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Russ taught the Space Wolves the power of runes, SW had rune priests from then on at least, barring the shamanistic practices of the indigenous Fenrisians Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222104-ideas-for-pre-heresy-rune-priests/#findComment-2655832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaleOpener Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 1. Use bits with the look of the MK6 armor ( beakie ). Both the SM tactical box and the SW box have some. 2. Use this GW-Studded Armor link to make simple studs. 3. Cutting off the heads of flat-headed pins, then gluing them on, look better than the ones in the link above. 4. Of course, there are the SM armor pack on the GW site. I think 5 or 6 "older" armor models that are pricy. 5. Forge World has there resin models, and I want my claws on the babel ones for conversions!
