Wulfebane Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The work is going very well. will have pic's on Sat. I have been thinking about the background for my contemptor. I am thinking "wolfin contimptor" but he will need a suitably dark name to fit his dark saga. so not really a wolfin but nearly, with berserk tendencies. The carapace missile launcher will be a little out of place. maybe he was a lone wolf, left over form a long fang pack. but he was so horrific in seeking his end. After a catastrophic fight he yet lived. His body destroyed but his rage still hungers. The wolf lord had him interned so he could again seek a glorious end on another day. He now stalks the battle feilds laying all before him low and wishing for the red snow. or some such nonsense ... :P On a purely fluff basis, I wouldn't make him a former Lone Wolf. The purpose for them is to die in battle so they can meet their pack brothers beyond Morkai's Gates. For a Wolf Lord to go against that is to spit in the face of the LW's honorable choice in death and essentially make the idea of a Lone Wolf in a SW army moot. The same circumstance could occur in a single battle, a plasma blast, erupting razorback transport, or even an ambush encounter... leaving his LF packmates dead and he then goes into a murderous rage at the sight, but not having the time to be designated a "lone wolf". The situation would have to be fairly impressive though, since Long Fangs have had packmates die by their sides for potentially countless decades (even centuries). A Chaos-derived capture/torture scenario might work.. since the Wulfen is the (supposed) defense against heretical corruption.

hendrik Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 bersik bloodmistwas an old wolf yet he still hungered to see the red mist everytime he entered a battlefield, as his surname suggested. if he got the chance he would use his heavy bolter to deliver high precision shots instead of a hail of fire, carefull to maximize the explosions when the heavy boltershell struck ground. it was or khanryk, an imperial outpost, that his entire long fang pack got surrounded by the deamonic deamon hordes summoned by a tzeentch cult. as wave after wave of horrros got ripped to pieces by their heavy fire soon their ammo began to run low. after the 12th wave they had virtually no ammo left and dropped their heavy weapons in favor of their combat blades. six true heroes of fenris facing off against an entire deamonic horde, a true saga to be told! as the 13th wave mounted their last but deciding charge the six warriors left their cover. having known eachother for over two centuries each of them knew there was no way they would get out of this alive. the space wolf line was already spread thin and the only allied forces available for a potential resque were the already retreating imperial guard forces. each glancing a final look on eachother they spoke some last words, made a swift prayer to the allfather and russ as they then charged forward into the horde of daemonic horrors. the errupting fight was one of their keenest moments. none of them cared anymore about the general battleplan. they knew this was their last fight and they made sure it was the best one they had ever fought!. as bersik saw a hooror jump out of the just towards him he quickly counterattacked, stomping both of his hands into the gaint maw of the beast. even before the horror could close his jaws bersikpulled both of his arms to the outer side, ripping the horror vertically in half. quickly regrabbing his combat blade he severed the leg of another and used the same blow to cut 2 other horrors in half. he was on a roll! this was a fight worthy of being retold a thousand times, yet none would hear about it for the only ones there that could retell the tale were them. and they knew they would be with morkai soon. one by one they were brought down by the hordes as always larger deamons appeared. by the time only bersik and jarn were left a greater deamon had appeared and both warriors were trying to get to the beast. with the flick of the deamons finger jarn turned into a mist of blood, his armour falling to the ground empty and sprayed in blood. as the greater deamon turned his head towards bersik he knew he too would soon be a mist of blood. closing his eyes he wispered "for russ"once more before he felt it. it didn't feel as he expected. as he expected to feel his body being tore into a mist of blood it didn't. instead he felt the heath building up immensly as he knew he was hurled back several meters through the sky. he felt his body was mangled beyond repairs. both of his legs were half blown away and so was his left arm as well as most of the skin on his head yet he still lived. as he tried to open his eyes he immediatly knew scrapnel and the blast had destroyed his vision. he soon entered the red dream as he awoke everything was shrouded into a green light. instead seeing a wolf priest he saw an iron priest standing in front of him, yet several feet lower then him. as the iron priest explained what had happened bersik sunk into a rage, destroying several experimental works of the iron priests in the process. it was onyl when his wolf lord commanded him to stop bersik linally listened. " as our thunderhawk with the escorting valkyries reached your position for extraction our wolf lord noticed there was no way we could get you out safe. as he saw jarn turned into the red mist by the treacherous deamon he knew your fate was sealed as well and so he orderd all pilots ti fire at the greater deamon with everything they had. as seeker missles, heavy boltershells, misslie rockets and hellstrike missles found their target the greater deamon was destroyed. we were not suspecting to find any survivors since we thought you too had been turned into the red mist so when the wolf priest landed in search for still salvedgable geneseed he found your mutilated body yet you were still alive. bionics were of no use however with over 55% of your bodymass either missing or destroyed beyond repairs. on top of that over 85% of your skinn tissue was missing as well. facing such odds it was aggreed your had deserved another fight and so we entered you into this new admantium body bersik. you are a dreadnought contemptor now! an image of the machinegod and morkai incarnicate! you are bersik redmist no more. now rise bersik ironhide! rise and feel your new body!!" and so began the saga of bersik ironhide Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240374-the-wolves-return/page/2/#findComment-2922260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 looks good! but what's up with the base? there seems a part to be missing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240374-the-wolves-return/page/2/#findComment-2923459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead01 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 we made a bunch of these I kept the crappy ones. Initially it was going to be behind ..er the dred was going to be facing the other way but all the contemptors I have seen with any leg posing have a leg bent and forward.. It all worked out better this way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240374-the-wolves-return/page/2/#findComment-2923627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've seen your album. But I dunno what it is?!.... for some reason, I'm not feeling the pose of your dread. I can't tell what it's trying to do as in the action and motion of it's intent. What ever it is it's not convincing. But that's just my perception, or maybe it's just the angles taken from the camera. I'm sure it's beautiful in real life, but the pictures and angles don't do it justice.

Wulfebane Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 imo he just ripped a daemon prince in half and dropped the remains at his sides. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240374-the-wolves-return/page/2/#findComment-2924191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead01 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Mav- you may have a point their, But I do think it may be the pic's. wulfebane, your about where I was going. I think the direction the head is facing may be part of the problem, I tried to get pic's that showed off the ?I think its called zenith highlighting? and the bit of decal... still not sure but the army is totally committed now... Maybe a few more pic's are in order. I am also thinking about putting a long fang badge in him, but I am not sure where it should be placed yet. I still need to work out how to wolf him out as well..
