Token Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Think this is my biggest sculpting atempt, i want werewolves in powerarmor that counts as thunderwolf cavalry. Werewolves are cool. Not 100 on the head though. Have started redoing the thigh plates. Tips and comments are welcome. http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf04.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf03.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf02.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 What a cool idea!! I'll be tracking this project for sure. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Fell Hand Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Great idea! I am using the Confrontation Wolfen models for a similar idea because I like the werewolf idea and its less silly than marines riding giant wolves. Keep up the good work!

Token Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks, a friend said that the crothplate kinda looks like a diper, so ill probably redo that. Any tips on how to make it better? Tips from experienced sculpters/modelers are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar mikael Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This may sound weird but I think the nappy (diaper) reference is because it looks flat. Look at the marines cod pieces and its actually protecting the emperors crown jewels- just like a cricket cup. Now how that'd transfer to a giant werewolf I don't know, but a bit more shape maybe as though its protecting sometthing and not holding baby cack should be good. Like the idea though. I'll be watching this progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megapope Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Werewolves. Power armour. Everything in this thread is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 nice idea, but i looks more like a fat rat than a werewolf imho (especially due to the tail) i think a werewolf should be more lean. as for the sculpting, what do you use to smooth your work? in some places it looks too uneven or "lumpy" for armor plates. for sculpting i can greatly advise on getting some clay/colorshapers from royal sovereign. one of the best tools for working on all sorts of putty in my experience.

Token Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks, i dont know how to make it more even, i used a sculpting tool with some water to get it to be as smooth as it is in the picture. The mini used is the rat ogre, skaven, fantasy. Not sure if there is one leaner that could be used for a big werewolf, but ill use the rat ogre, not sure about the head though. The tail is wip, not sure what to do with it, think either it will be just fur or some kind of armor over it. Is it allowed to link to other forums on this forum? I have some werewolves i use as Imp Ogryns, shown on another forum, fluffwise i want the Thunderwerewolf to be similar, but with power armor. I found some picture of what i think is those tools, how much should they cost? If its allowed to link to commercial sites, id appreciate a link from where you can order them to be shipped to Sweden.

Brother Ambroz Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yeah great idea but I have to agree with Wicced. It looks......well "fat" for lack of a better term. And his tail does look more rat-like than lupine. If you're going to give a werewolf a tail should try to make it bushy. You could try using chaos hounds from WHF. I've seen a conversion sometime back of a werewolf using those on coolminiornot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie09 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think if you could avoid the diaper/cricket box look around the groin by covering this area with a variety of torn tabbards, loin cloths, dangling totems (ahem) etc. It would add more to the mini and give you scope for variety within the unit.

Natanael Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Now THAT is a cool idea. I might have to try that out as well. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taarnak Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Awesome idea. I may borrow it sometime. What putty are you sculpting with? That will give me a direction to take in giving you some ideas on smoothing. ~E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Not sure what putty i use, will perhaps try to find out. Been doing some work on the legs. http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf06.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf07.jpg And his "naked" brother. http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf05.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 i really like this project you got going on, how many you looking at doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Im not sure on how many to make, but perhaps 3-4 of these and one lord. Not sure if the lord should be as big as these werewolves, or be based on a minotaur, which is larger. Need opinions: Should they be put on medium or large bases? Canis is on a large base, right? So, ruleswise balancing they should be on a large one, but will that look silly? Also need tips on what to use for thunderhammer and stormshields. Thinking of calling my thunderlords weapon Alldräper, which means Allslayer, which would be both lighting claw and thunderhammer, tips on making that look cool? As one weapon that is.. Edit: galeforce 9 grey stuff, is the putty i used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Redid the crotch plate, made it more like a jockstrap (is that the right word?) and added some section thingy i saw on a marine. Im not sure what to do about the back, doesnt look all that good, neither back nor back of legs. Suggestions? Suggestions on what to use as powerpack? http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf08.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf09.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf10.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/Thunderwerewolf11.jpg Not much sun when i photoed, thats why the pics are abit dark.

carnosaur93 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 make the tail come out from a slightly angled "butt plate" (like normal PA have), that should fix the backside looking wrongish... also, how would a regular backpack look on him? awesome work allaround btw :o a very nice and creative way to go around the awfullness that is giant wolf mounts :edit: you might also want to sand down the armor in some places to make it smoother in texture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 How would you make shoulderpads? Is it hard to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'd highly recommend you buy yourself a size 0 clay shaper, chisel shaped, so you can smooth out your armour plates. Great work so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolflars Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 For shoulder pads you could see if you could come across a set from the plastic greater deamon model, then just fill in the chaos symbols with your grey stuff. The tail, I would say that might look better if you took it off altogether. Then you could build up his butt to look like a regular space marine.

Token Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Wings, could you pm me a link to where to buy that tool? Is it usefull once the stuff has hardened? Or do you use it when its still clay like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razerz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I would actually recommend size 2 for bigger areas like armour and size 0 for finer details (but that's just me). Do a search for "clay shaper" on Google or eBay to find them. I have a set of size 0 extra firm as well as a size 2 extra firm flat chisel, and they are very useful!

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 You use them when the clay is soft(ish) to smooth out armour plates. Just google 'Clay Shapers' and you'll find suppliers, they look like a paintbrush with a rubber tip. Just make sure you keep them wet while your smoothing so they don't stick to anything.
