MeatGrinder Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey Guys, I'm looking for some inspiration for converting up my own Logan model. If anyone has done this themselves please do share. I am especially interesting in how you're doing the storm bolter and if you're doing it regular style or trying for the fist mounted version.

Ash Tekka Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've been working on one between other projects for awhile. I'm at work and don't have a pic so for now descriptions will have to suffice... I went with the storm bolter on the back of hand as I felt that is a unique look that sets him out from the other terminators in my army. I used the left hand power fist from the wolf guard box set and used the storm bolter from the space wolf box. I then used brass runes from secret weapon miniatures to spell RUSS out on each of the fingers. I used the forgeworld space wolves terminator torso. The one that looks like an older marine. I created his axe by cutting the head off of a thunder hammer and using two of the axes from the wolf guard box to make the double sided axe. I then used the wolf logos from the landspeeder kit to make the twin head of morkai and to help cover the seam. I'll try and remember to grab a few photos tonight when I get home to show the few bits I mentioned.

Pall Ironbear Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I cheated and used the arm from the failcast Logan on mine. I'm also running a WGTDA using an arm and bolter from the Grey Knights kit. Pics are poorly lit,smart phone quality snaps I just took. The body is Forge World, legs from the WGTDA sprue with the crux taken from LG's right leg. The axe was a trimmed down sang guard with the Morkai details taken from the finecast model. Still needs some GS work to bring it all together.

Also I think their magazines for the storm bolter don't look as good as the original sculpts. The belt feed in the pic was sliced from a storm bolter on the WGTDA sprue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246446-grimnar-conversions/#findComment-2982442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 from another thread not too long ago.. I've seen this a few months ago, but I haven't seen it posted anywhere here at the Fang.

Khine Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm thinking about using the axe head of the new Krell model. So much room for awesome runes. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1460012a Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246446-grimnar-conversions/#findComment-2982656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more guts than me to ever dare and butcher that rare collectors piece :P Whats the axe from? It's from an old rogue trader marine from back in the day, I believe. Quite valuable if you can find one in tact now a days.

Ironwulf Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 i believe that axe head is from a diorama belonging to one of the novelsedit: http://www.coolminiornot.com/97330 this one if i recall correctly Not really one of the novels, but instead is the LE diorama based on the artwork from the Lone Wolves sequence in Warhammer Monthly (and the later compilation of that story in the graphic novel of the same name). I have one of those dioramas on my workbench right now, and it gets a little bit of attention every now and then. Still isn't finished though... I may have to correct that.

Wardiel Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I really didn't like the original model, and I think there should be more beards on wolves generally. the older the wolf, the bigger the beard. Actually, I'm converting the gw Logan to be my arjac, should work out, hopefully. Apologies for the crappy pic, all I have available. I need a better camera.
