Wulfebane Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 The scouts look amazing! I must ask, where is the axe from on the first scout? It's one of the Chaos Marauder Horsemen bits.

Mat_Arcand Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Are those Daemonette heads I spy on a few of your scouts? If not what frames are those from?

Light Warden Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Do you do commissions, I love Ragnar's rules but hate the static GW model. Also, how long in the tooth are you as it would appear as though you have been at this a very long time, or are a natural. My guess is actually a combination of the two. I have a young family, in a small place and have not been able to attack the painting and modelling like I want to.

I have a young family, in a small place and have not been able to attack the painting and modelling like I want to. Ehhh.. I started with 40k around '96 (circa 2nd edition) but abandoned it for college and a lack of a lgs. I was out of the game for about 10 yrs and started back up about 2 yrs ago, so all in all, only been playing about 5-6 years. When I came back to the game (after going through art school) I found all my old models and some of the GW sculpts, aka Ragnar, horribly interpreted, so decided to step things up a notch. As for commissions, I've never done any that weren't local, and even then I've warned my patrons that half the time I paint things on a whim or when I find time outside of canvas painting, but I've never duplicated a personal conversion as a commission. Half the time, I burn preciously rare bits or the "choicest cuts" for my special conversions, so I can't always promise I'd be able to duplicate.

Wulfebane Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 The flash doesn't do it justice, but this is perhaps my best attempt at "saddlebag" leather that I've painted to date, so I wanna give it the detailing it deserves. Looking for suggestions on a symbol/emblem/tattoo image to paint or stain onto the leather in a style as you might see on Native American leatherworks to mull over and consider while I'm out of town for the weekend. ...and of course, C&C welcome!

MalachiOfRuss Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Those are Chaos Marauder Horsemen bits also. I'll reiterate (I've said it a few other places) that I think the Chaos Marauder Horsemen box is one of the best buys for SW bits that you can find. It's a cheap box and it's loaded with good bits: heads, axes, shields, spears, and flails.

Russ Brother 92 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'd suggest the Leben Rune (means Life Rune - it's the rune for protection) old Norse, it seems suitable as the shield is for the warrior's protection. I think if you were able to stain it then it would look much better as leather like skin drinks in some of the ink over time.

Light Warden Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Keep up the good work, and yes I did have to buy the marauders for bits as well. I want to do a lone wolf with one of their flails.

I think if you were able to stain it then it would look much better as leather like skin drinks in some of the ink over time. Did a quick image search and found this. Its a pretty ideal arrangement, despite having an inclination of using a pack/company glyph of some form, I think this looks more promising. Thanks for the idea! http://sortofpsychic.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/algiz.jpg And yeah, that was my thought on staining too.

Russ Brother 92 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm glad to help haha - I normally go for pack runes on shoulder pads but armour/equipment but on this piece I think a rune of protection stained on would simply look brilliant ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246766-wulfebanes-wip-projects-pic-heavy/page/6/#findComment-3039331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Threadromancy at its finest! With the advent of 6E and the likelihood that TDA will make a stronger presence in most lists due to AP, I decided to bits order some torsos/legs and use up the remaining tda arms I have lying around. These I hope to add to my Lux vow if I can get the shoulderpads and finish my current vow. .... And the rest of their arms, all fully magnetized. To accompany them, I finally broke down and used that giant pelt cloak for my first ever wolf lord in TDA. Not sure what I want to do yet with that stormbolter, but I have come up with my own version of a swiss army knife. I intend to use this design (in progress) as a power fist/sword, frostblade, and wolfclaw depending on listed wargear at the time. If he needs a thunderhammer, power axe or maul, I've got some stand-ins magnetized and waiting.

Valerian Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thumbs up on the models, Wulfebane. Those load-outs are super expensive on Wolf Guard, however, as opposed to regular Terminators who can go for double Claws or TH/SS for just 40 points each. At least you've got them all magnetized. Looking forward to seeing them painted.

Looking forward to seeing them painted. V Yeah, there's no way I could see myself spending that much points on WG already in TDA (except for boosting numbers in a certain painting challenge ;) ) . It was just for the picture, and like you said, all fully magnetized. :cuss To be honest, I was fed up with all the wolfclaws cluttering my bits box. I still need to get around to reading your guide to 6E, among other venues, to determine the best loadouts for my playstyle. Thanks for having a look and for the compliment!
