elithren Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 A while ago I posted up some pics of a conversion I did using the mournfang model as a TWC. As pointed out, the dinamics were off so I had to redo it and seriously think about how I was going to tackle this obstacle of having legal TWC and not all be some canis monstrosity. So, here are the pics I have of the work I came up with. I have yet to decide on a color for the fur because I wanna do white but afraid to do so cause it has the potential to really make it look bad. The stale gray is ok, but not my thing. Thoughts and input on color is appreciated. http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0119121613.jpg http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0119121615a.jpg Rear shot to help show the saddle conversion http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0119121616.jpg And one focusing on the saddle completely (Yay for magnets!) http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0119121617.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245700-100-gw-thunderwolf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Doesnt look DA to me, looks like its supposed to be 'celtic'. Anyways.... *shrugs* Its a hell of a job, but I cant get past the part where I find Mournfangs ugly as all heck. I respect the work youve done, and Im glad youve gotten something thats 100% GW, wich sounds important to you and a number of other folks. Dont forget to post some of this up in the official conversions thread in the stickies section ok? Every idea helps.

elithren Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeah, I was bummed when the feast of blades TO said that I couldn't use my Mr. Dandy wolves so made me not wanna go to the second round hosting as a kind of protest. Since then, as much as I love them, I needed to have an alternative option incase the same thing happens to me this year. The color scheme is celtic focused and more of my style, I really like the dark green color. Still undecided on the fur color for this guys ride. Been staring at pics of actual wolves and even the canis model for some time now....

jamsight Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 What Grey Mage said I considered trying it out form myself but felt they looked to 'rhinoish' for my tastes. As for paint schemes how about a dark brown I believe it would go well with the green on your rider.

Spacefrisian Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Agree on 100% legal but 1000% i dunno (though he will have it cool sitting so high up). The saddle destroys the intended coolness for me, its more like 2000% unpractical. Nice paintjob btw, i like that.

elithren Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here is the finished work, minus the matte coat. Got the terrain in, the snow loaded, and made a frost weapon option for him. http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120937.jpg http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120943.jpg My attempt at the muzzle. http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120944.jpg Body shot and terrian. The pic doesn't show it very well, but the wolf is a black dominant fur color. http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120946.jpg And the frost weapon. http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120939.jpg http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120922.jpg http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b471/elithren/0125120930.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245700-100-gw-thunderwolf/#findComment-2976919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I really like the frost weapon, gives an edge and more suggestive of cavalry rather'n short-arm weaponry :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245700-100-gw-thunderwolf/#findComment-2976925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You know, it would look more like the Thunderwolf picture in the codex, in my opinion, if you colored that nobby/bumpy thing on his head a non-fleshy color, either metalic or the green you use for your marines, so it looks like a helmet instead of a horny growth.
