Night Runner Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The new version of Russ here. Personally I don't like the wolves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257107-what-do-you-think-of-the-celtic-knightleman-russ/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I love the model. Personally I think the wolves are a little undersized but I can switch thous out with thunder wolf models. Thought it was interesting that they gave him the Spear. Leman could never keep track of that thing. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257107-what-do-you-think-of-the-celtic-knightleman-russ/#findComment-3128474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Woah, that is wicked! Wolves are bit undersized, but Russ himself is awesome!

Billy Butcher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If you've never seen or owned a kabuki primarch you could be forgiven for thinking that the wolves are small, they almost certainly aren't, the sculpts are what I would describe as true scale :-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257107-what-do-you-think-of-the-celtic-knightleman-russ/#findComment-3128559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
truesonofruss Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 yeah if you think about it Russ was so large of a man thunder wolves may look like regular wolves in his shadow. I think it is an awesome model wolves included and may in the near future be adding it to my collection.

Wulfebane Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't care how small or large those wolves are, they look like ;). Russ himself is passable, particularly in the face, but the body of that backpack is hideous.

LoneSniperSG Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hmmm... fixing the backpack wouldn't be that hard with the abundance of wolf skulls and ornaments available now. I personally like it, except for the pauldrons. Also the spear would be an easy swap if you can find a suitable sword model to pass off as Mjalnar.

Russ Brother 92 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 must say I rather like it, though tbh I'd want bigger wolves - they are after all meant to be thunderwolf size :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257107-what-do-you-think-of-the-celtic-knightleman-russ/#findComment-3128649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Crazywolf Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Not sure how I would deal with the lorica segmentata armor, but I do like the dynamic pose. Maybe use him as a lone wolf before being a replacment to Logan. The backpack is a bit loud though. Hmm... will have to consider this. Granted if the model is closer to truescale he might be better served as a different wolf lord instead of a Logn replacement.

maverik_girl Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 it looks beautiful, not sure about the armour but everything else is nice. This model loos way better than all the other imitation static poses/statues out there that represents Russ.

frostclaw222 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I missed the window on this, and kind of regret it. I'm sure there's an after-market of knock-offs or recasts, but I've got to agree: backpack is hideous. Makes me sad I missed it, though. Would make a heck of a scenery piece for the tabletop....

Grimtooth Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Backpack and wolves are horrible. Spear is meh. Armor is ok. Face and pose are great.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The pose is the only thing I find appealing about the model.

Ezeriel Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think it's the best of the Russ models out there. Wolves aren't the hottest but I can live with that. I have no problem buying one to paint as is and maybe another to modify to have a sword and maybe some changes here and there. Thankfully it doesn't go on sale till September, Games Day and this coming at the same time would hurt my wallet too much.

Brother Crazywolf Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just have to add that while the OP put in that the model would be a Russ option, I do not really feel that it captures enough of Russ for me to use him as such or to even go that far. My vision of Russ is much more, for lack of a better term, Odin-esque or Norse. This is a good model for something along the lines of a Celt inspired or even late Roman inspired Legion, but lacks something for me.
