Grey Hunter Poses

Recommended Posts

some (bad quality) pictures of some of my hunters, 1 is the standard pose i'm pretty sure we have all used a couple of times. two of them are actually my wolf guard pack leaders, but since they can be used as normal grey hunters aswell i thought i'd include them

standard pose+ wolf guard pack leader

Heres the "Double Fister", he plays as just a single power fist GH. He is still a WIP, flaoting around my bitz box... Somewhere

If you can't tell he is posed to have his right foot propped up on something, with his left leg on the ground. He still needs a good dose of GS to make that little bit of loin-cloth, a loin-fur. and some wolfy bits.

 

And his brother, a Death Watch Vet. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer010.jpg

Also in need of a little extra wolfying.

Throwing my wolf standard bearer in here cause I love the banner. Not fully painted, but close.

Behold...the banana of destruction ;)

 

Great pose. Is there a pic from the other side. Like to see the bolter

Here's the only one of mine I'm particularly proud of:

Built him, wow, two years ago or so?

 

...and yeah, he's still unpainted. :)

Kukri, interesting. The celts and iberians used kopis or falcatas in certain areas during certain periods of time. However they were longer, proportionately more slender, and not bent forward at such an extreme angle. Definitely not a well known blade type, or at least not popular for conversions among 40k players from what I have noticed.

Yeah, I'll just link it instead of embedding: it's just the bolter arm off the AoBR captain. I think I've cleaned up the mold lines a bit since that photo; I had him primed at one point, but stripped him for some reason and he's just been sitting on my desk ever since.

I wasn't really thinking in terms of real-world Space Wolf analogues when I made it, I just thought it seemed like a reasonable choice for a Space Marine close-combat weapon. The angle on the blade's spine isn't actually as steep as it appears in that photo, I think it's a bit of a trick of light playing over the aluminum. I have seen some falx variants shaped roughly like that, though without as much belly.

 

(PS, those are ludicrously easy to make - just flatten aluminum tubing and clip and file to shape. For a curved blade, just gently bend the tubing before flattening it.)

That kukri is sweet man, the whole marine is awesome. You say kukri is flattened aluminum tubing?

 

Indeed! The local craft store (a Hobby Lobby franchise) has 1/16" and 3/32" aluminum tubing that's easy to work with and fairly affordable. I have a pair of small smooth-jawed pliers I use to flatten it (normal pliers, of course, would leave toothmarks), then you can use cutters to nip out the basic shape and needle files to perfect it. Lacking the pliers, it would be easy enough to use a pair of hammers and a hard smooth surface - plant the tubing on the surface, plant a hammer on top of it, and beat the backside of the first hammer with the second. Starting with a bit of tubing, that kukri took all of fifteen minutes to make. I did find that, depending on just which edge of the flattened tubing I used, there was some concern about the two sides separating, but a splash of superglue inside the tubing immediately before you flatten it solves that handily. The same general technique can be used to make spears (just flatten and sharpen one end of a tube, yeah?) or blades of nearly any shape.
