Iacton Qruze Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I saw E Tenebrae Lux roll around as I was about to start on a competition piece, and figured I'd throw my hat in, so here it goes. I'm on a deadline (8 days as of this post, actually), so this WIP will be pretty hard and fast. First, the gist: Bran Solfang leads my Great Company astride his golden thunderwolf. Equipped with a Wolfclaw, Runic Armor, and Stormshield, he cuts through most things with ease. His wolf is more machine than usual, owing to particularly grievous injuries sustained during a charge to bring down a vile Keeper of Secrets summoned during one of Abaddon the Despoilers earlier Black Crusades. Here's some pics (I forgot to take a picture before I basecoated the wolf, but it's still very early PIP) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/12/376742_sm-TWL3.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/12/376741_sm-TWL2.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/12/376740_sm-TWL1.JPG More pics, as soon as I get the wolf finished.

Wulfebane Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Poor wolf... :lol: I look forward for this Iacton, your skill is legendary! Interesting choice that you went for a beakie helmet. I'm excited to see this finished, and for one, am glad to see the beakie. IMO they are under-utilized.

Iacton Qruze Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks all; hah, nah it's just good old brownstuff. My greenstuff has kind of gone "bad?" after all these years. My GC is old, circa M34 or so, so a lot of them still sport older armor marks. I wanted to make sure my lord got a full suit of mkVI :P Will hopefully get the wolf done tonight and get some more pics up.

Iacton Qruze Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 yeah, he's my initial vow. I might put in a full GH squad for a secondary vow, which will at least get me somewhere near that average point value I need to hit.

Iacton Qruze Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Update time! I'm making good progress, and should squeeze in just in time for my deadline next weekend. The wolf is done, aside from some work on the saddle, and some snow added to the fur. I added a lot more yellow into the wolf fur, as my Wolflord is all about the whole "sunwolf" thing. The lord has had his armor finished, and then I blocked in the basecoats for his bronze, cables, and chipping on the armor. Pics! (sorry about the quality of some; I took them quickly, and didn't break out the lightbox) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/17/378076_sm-WL10.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/17/378077_sm-WL11.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/17/378078_sm-WL12.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/17/378079_sm-WL13.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/17/378081_sm-WL14.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3087588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacton Qruze Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Too late, I'm already in a rush. ;) I built some shortcuts into the model that have saved a lot of time though. The wolf pelt and the fact that he's riding the TW leave a ton of space completely hidden on him, so I didn't have to paint those parts. The biggest thing will be getting the WC arm painted; it's practically nothing but freehand.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Damn IC, that guy is looking great!! Did you airbrush the wolf?? The knotwork on the helmet does look amazing indeed!!

Iacton Qruze Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I used an airbrush to get the initial transition how I wanted it. At the time I thought it might be quicker (I also did my basic transitions on 2 other TWC that way at the same time) but I think I ended up taking the same amount of time as I would have doing it all with a paintbrush. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3087945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I was in awe..

Iacton Qruze Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Vow Complete! Here's the CMON link http://www.coolminiornot.com/308607 http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/6/26/381731_sm-Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves,%20Thunderwolf,%20Wolf%20Lord.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3097965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This is a fantastic piece IQ! The amount of detail on the helmet and shoulder pads is just breathtaking! I've seen your work before so I had high expectations but this is pure gold! Is there a chanve to see it from a different angle too? Great stuff... Can't wait for you new vow to take shape! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3098031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 The CMON link has a full set of pics :D The next batch of vows will be high tabletop, so I probably won't put quite as much into them. They should still turn out good, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3098036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 By Russes wolves that's amazing! Love the knotwork! How hard is it to do, as I'm going to soon attempt it on a few of my guys as well. Namely the guys with the masks of aversion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3098459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's pretty simple. The key is thin paint and brush control. I'll try to get a tut up for you guys sometime soon. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254086-iqs-etl-vow-wip/#findComment-3098494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
