Nrthstar Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/4146/lemanruss1.jpg Sort of a random honorable mention to whoever this guy is. Russ be praised. Obviously not my work. Edit: To keep things closer to B&C Rules. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231949-how-i-like-to-envision-russ/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Those Primarchs usually go for a lot more than $65.00 Nrth. Be warned!! I too would love to have my very own Russ to cuddle and lov- ER, I mean slaughter and purge with. Yeah, slaughter... ...and drink with. The Konrad Curze is also exceedingly well done.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i am actually not a fan of the model, too static for Leman Russ. WLK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231949-how-i-like-to-envision-russ/#findComment-2790431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 as MavGirl would say, IN BEFORE THE LOCK :cuss Why would this be locked? WLK: I agree, even a bit of forwards motion like on Prospero Burns would be nice. The paintjob is quite nice, though.

burningblades20 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I doubt it would be locked since Nrthstar isn't really asking for money just drawing attention to a model of Leman Russ for sale on E-bay by someone plus the mods likely read the thread stuff before deciding if a thread should or should not be locked down.

YYYYYYYYYES! This is how I picture Russ :P...though with more hair, and a beard but that's a good start! An honourable mention to you, Nrthstar, for finding this!

Wulfebane Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I'm actually disappointed with the model. The head is done well (except at the very least some stubble).. and the torso/legs/belt. But the cloak ends in a square (:P?), the bolt pistol is tremendously dinky and unimpressive, the sword even moreso, the wolf heads, albeit painted well, seem oddly unfitting, and as WL Kieran said, it's too static.. not to mention he couldn't lift his arms with those shoulderpads. Eh.. I dunno. People are gunna buy Him b/c He's labelled with our Primarch's name, but imo it's a poor rendition.. though I do praise and appreciate the attempt. But personally, I think the Emperor, Roboute Guilliman, and Sanguinius models were a better homage.

maverik_girl Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 from what I've read and seen at the Fang, your the most analytical person when it comes to art, models and painting Wulfebane. You must have a nice looking army! you seem like your an expert, do you teach? or are you a teacher? Anyway I totally agree with you on this statue. Cause it's not a model, it's more of a statue.

To each their own, etc, and I would never claim to be an expert at any of the stuff I critique.. just opinionated.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The second Leman Russ model is more dynamic although I don't think the face looks as good.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That second model has a mongoloid forehead. Less "static", but he looks like he's waiting for the short bus. I like the first one because it's so statuesque looking. In reality, I will never own either.

Nrthstar Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Drunk posting seems to be almost as dangerous as drunk dialing. Thankfully none of you guys are as crazy as any of my exes though, so at least I don't have to wake up to a voicemail of anyone screaming at me bahahaha. I was helping a friend who hasn't played since 2e rebuild his dark eldars and make a new list/plans to get up to 2k points. After going over 5e rules for a couple of hours I managed to burn through 3 irish car bombs and 8 guinesses. Then we were on ebay looking for cheap de stuff and I found this guy. I edited the original post since this way it doesn't have the link, just nice pics. I get new model shinyness in my eyes when I see something like this. I should have posted this under the Leman Russ statue thread, since we kind started this conversation there, but this model is how I'd like to see Russ. I always disliked the top knot on any model. With clearer vision the pistol does like horrid as does the sword, but the face and stance I'm good with. It doesn't say action to me, but it does have a very strong regal stance.

jester262 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I like the first model better. I've seen it plenty of times and it's painted nicely. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231949-how-i-like-to-envision-russ/#findComment-2790852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
