Anyone made Runic armour?

[Token]

I wanto sculpt some Runic armour, but dont like the idea of simply adding a ton over runes to power armour, anyone made some themsleves, or kitbashed or something? Please post ideas and pics if you got them..

Most Runic Armor I have seen has simply been painted runes on the armor, around the leggings, knees, and around the shoulder trim usually.

That's awesome!

just found out how I'm gonna deck out my rune priest's :)

Im sold, I need that brass sheet in my Life.

There's one set of legs with runes built-in on the sprue, but, yes, etched brass runes are the way to go.

 

However, if you want to be really bold, you could do it with greenstuff. And then, you could add the circumpunts from Prospero Burns...

Seems like not many make Runic armour?

You could use the legs from the old terminator rune priest model. I've got a set lying around somewhere waiting to be made into another PA rune priest.

I'll be attempting to carve mine into the armour. Wish me luck.

You would be better off branding them into the plastic, carving into plastic is very difficult. when I say brand I mean take a razor and break it to small pieces that you can heat and push into the plastic, most runes are straight edged and it would be a matter of doing three or four pushes of a very small razor into the plastic to make one rune. This is theory I have not done such but would think it would work.

Lol I'm doing it on a finecast body. This is how I plan to do it and I'm experimenting on the spruce first.

 

1. Draw the rune on.

2. Small presses with a fine modeling knife to guide the next step.

3. Repeated scrapes with a metal sculpting tool (I have 10 various ones to choose from).

 

The problem with branding it that the melted plastic would raise around the blade and possible pull upwards with the blade when removed creating points. Bit too unpredictable IMHO.

It does raise slightly, but can easily be trimmed like any mold lines or flash. It doesn't, however, pull with the blade...atleast assuming you keep it hot enough.

 

Vrox is right though.. works pretty well. No idea on finecast however.

 

 

 

As to the OP, the amount of wolfy bits that sport runestones or inscribed runes on armor already are generally what are used to produce a set of runic armor. After that, most people simply paint the runes on (as has been mentioned above).

 

Best example I can think of currently (though I dunno if it is in fact runic armor) would be from Iacton Qruze's new TWL.

I expect that not many, if any, do. It's a tall order, and one that most folks don't bother with. Especially when all you have to do is say, "see here on my army list? I paid the 20 points to give that dude Runic Armour."

How about using a scribing tool? Or a woodcut blade?

[Forté]

Wow. Iacton strikes again. Didn't realise he'd finished that masterpiece already.
