munger Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Finally finished off my army for Armies on Parade. Will be adding some small details before I enter on Saturday but here are the final photos. http://www.tartanpaint.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/armies-on-parade-space-wolves5.jpg http://www.tartanpaint.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/armies-on-parade-space-wolves4.jpg http://www.tartanpaint.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/armies-on-parade-space-wolves3.jpg http://www.tartanpaint.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/armies-on-parade-space-wolves2.jpg http://www.tartanpaint.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/armies-on-parade-space-wolves1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238050-space-wolves-armies-on-parade-entry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Tiberus Satio Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 *sniff* *sniff* smells like wet dog in here.... =P just kidding. That is a fantastic display! Is it part of the mountain on Fenris? or are they just on a snow planet? I would just like more details on what was the inspiration or thought process. Very very excellent job.

Wulfebane Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I like the army paint job, but the terrain is stunning. I hope it doesn't overshadow the army.. >.> Wtb some close-ups!

Valerian Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Atta boy! Very well done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238050-space-wolves-armies-on-parade-entry/#findComment-2870711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
munger Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I will get some closeup soon, Its supposed to be the road out of the fang. I didnt have time to sculpt or create and entrance so its further out. I was aiming for some higher mountains but couldn't get it done in time so had to settle for lower mountains. Thanks for all the nice comments :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238050-space-wolves-armies-on-parade-entry/#findComment-2870732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the nice comments :) Well, the Fang is 25 miles high, with its peaks above the atmosphere of Fenris - it might be a little hard to model that to scale ;) V Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238050-space-wolves-armies-on-parade-entry/#findComment-2870743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looks really good. A few close ups of just the minis off the board would be great. That's only so we can have a good drool over the painting and no slight on your awesome scenery.

RunningWolfFenris Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looks awesome. I always cant help but notice how outdated minis like Ragnar look so goofy next to new more dynamic marines :) Oh well! But the paint looks awesome and the board is really cool.

DV8 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 While the board is "technically" well done, it's sorely lacking in context. That is, what's the story? You say it's the road to/from the Fang, but there is nothing that would indicate thus. Looking at the board is jarring, and the army gets lost on it. There's a lot of high contrast and the snow looks fantastic, but it doesn't compliment the army. It hurts my eyes to look at and I'm forced to look away every so often (not good, as you want to keep the viewer's focus/attention on the board). Also, there's no direction. Like a painting, a good display board needs direction and focus to both pull the viewer in and focus their attention on either key parts, or one part. Yours is just a mess of detail, but no focus.

munger Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 yeh ragnar wasnt my first choice but my wolf lord wasnt finished in time. I think the same DV* but it was a last minute entry into armies on parade and made the board in 3/4 days. Im going to add a few extra details but next year I will be better prepared and have more time to create a board.

Spazmonkey Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 While I am inclined to agree with DV8, i would also say you should be very happy with that. it is still very well done and above and beyond a level most of us are capable of. \ great work mate.

No idea, it best talk to your local GW about this as I was in a rush after the Armies on Parade. I'd think so because you'd need to get in & set up your board.
