LakotaWolf Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I chose to do Ragnar's Great Company........I am gonna cover a few of my choices before the pics are posted so people know why I did what I did Wolves (Fenrisian & Thunder): I chose to do more of a black, gray, creme scheme......not mixing in brown at all.......looking at the pics of the wolves in the drawings in the codex they appeared very dark and menacing......In fact it was a Blackmaned wolf that Ragnar killed in his Test Of Morkai Bears: with the bears I wanted to do a more brown to a reddish brown fur.........They needed to stand out differently from the wolves army colors: primarily black with Shadow gray and sahara gold.......I wanted a color scheme more befitting of warriors who come from one of the three most dangerous worlds.......rustic,earthy, fierce I am not going with Fenris as described in the codex..........I think of it still as dangerous but not due to Climate but because of the wild.......Asaheim has large areas of mountainous plateaus more than 1000 meters (3280 feet plus) above sea level.....The highest mountain (Niflhel) is 2469 meters and is permanently covered in ice and snow......It is this mountain that the Test of Morkai are made.....It is at the base of Niflhel where the Fang is found.......below the mountains in the river valleys are agricultural plateaus.......the plant life green and fertile and covered with evergreen trees......the wild life consists of many species but some of the most dangerous are the Fenrisian Elk, Frost Wyrms, Fenrisian Mammoths, Fenrisian Wolfves, Thunder Wolves, Great Bears, Kraken, Ripperfish, Sea Wyrms, , Ice Fiends, and Snow Trolls......warm waters and westerly winds keep the ocean from freezing and the harbors open in the winter.....the summers are mild but the winters can be heavy in snow and ice.......their years are called Great Years and are roughly 2 Terra Years as they are great distance from their sun.....due to this fact their winters last the length of 1 Tera Year with that i said I hope you enjoy......keep comig back to see my work also when I play I play in Apocalypse games.......so you are gonna see some stuff that normally isnt in the SW codex P.S. I am all for suggestions......but if all you can do is be negative then post elsewhere......you get much farther by posting your likes and then making suggestions as to how to make things even better Logan Grimnar http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297612_md-Logan%20Grimnar.jpg Ragnar Blackmane http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297619_md-Ragnar%20Blackmane.jpg Njal Stormcaller http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297528_md-Njal%20The%20Stormcaller.jpg Ulrik The Slayer http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297527_md-Ulrik%20The%20Slayer.jpg Strybjorn Grimskull http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/6519194419_1b6296e0d1_z.jpg Arjac Rockfist http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297607_md-Arjac%20Rockfist.jpg Leman Russ http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297535_md-Leman%20Russ.jpg Ivan The Terrible http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297532_md-Ivan%20The%20Terrible.jpg Oren Stargazer http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297613_md-Oren%20Stargazer.jpg Skadi http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6719700711_c822a6e93a_b.jpg Canis Wolfborn http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297530_md-Canis%20Wolfborn.jpg Eron The Relentless http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297531_md-Eron%20The%20Relentless.jpg Tyr Skartooth http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297618_md-Tyr%20Skartooth.jpg Bjorn The Fell-Handed http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297608_md-Bjorn%20The%20Fell-Handed.jpg Odr Frostbane http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6434399849_09bc3aed54_z.jpg Skold Greypelt http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/11/22/297615_md-Skold%20Greypelt.jpg Grey Hunters #1 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7027/6429144623_bdd88faab0_b.jpg Grey Hunters #2 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6429144779_e2c8db268e_b.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242591-lakotawolfs-space-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ok, so I like the fluff, I like the paint scheme, and I like your conversion work and how all your unique special characters have the same epic vibe that the GW ones do... particularly Skadi and Stormhammer. ..that being said, I have only one critique. Maybe it's just the pictures, but to me it appears that you apply your paints rather thickly, to the point where it looks caked on. This is particularly apparent on Ragnar and Grimskull's heads. I would recommend applying your paint coats more thinly (which might require multiple passes) so it doesn't lose all the sculptural detail. Like I said, I love some of the details, like the trim on the banner for Grimskull and the shield decorations for Arjac, but you're losing the intricacies with the paint applications. Also, it looks like you sometimes use a gloss varnish to seal your minis after they're done (such as Skadi). I would recommend a matte varnish instead.

LakotaWolf Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 thank you wolfbane I usually hear the blue looks to thick....this is a first on the flesh.......I do try and watch for it as far as the matte finish............all the figures have been done with krylon matte finish............I dont know why but some appear more glossy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242591-lakotawolfs-space-wolves/#findComment-2932902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chodjinn Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Space Wolf storm raven? Baneblade, thunderfire and hydra platform . . . are you going for a joint army/allies then? Because it sounds like you prefer imperial guard or vanilla marines to space wolves!

-Volsung- Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 A space wolf baneblade? That's a pretty cool idea, not gonna lie. Since it's such a large tank, that's a lot of blank space to fill, could use more wolf furs and wolf tails, skulls and wolf shields and the likes. Nevertheless, it looks good. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242591-lakotawolfs-space-wolves/#findComment-2933135 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arez Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Looks good.Was going to mention that SW cant take TFC,BaneBlades or StormRavens but im going to guess that since its apoc thats allowed.
