Token Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It looks kinda ok from a short distanse away, the upper vent thingies on the backpack should probably be remade.. I tried highlighting with a blueish gray, not sure if that is the best way. Tips and comments are wellcome. http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf17.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf18.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf19.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf20.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf21.jpg http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x389/Torkor/thunderwerewolf22.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalx the grey Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hum, wow, did you scratch-build that?? Except head and arms I suppose... that must have taken you a lot of work! It would pass as a fully transformed wulfen I guess, thunderwolf... not so much :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vor Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 That's pretty awesome. Both the idea and the model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverik_girl Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 the highlights are fine, but I think you should thin it out more. As for the model/concept itself... I'm not a huge fan. Why is it still wearing a backpack? and why is the armor still pretty much in perfect condition? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 chalx, it is a skaven ratogre as a base with greystuff armor with some parts greenstuff. Vor, thanks 8) . Maverik_girl, how do you mean thin it out? Thinner highlighting lines? The armor is supposed to be kinda custom made for each thunderwerewolf. The fluff of them is that they are some sort of super wulfen, but not sure on how the process of becoming a wulfen is, so not sure what process would make bigger wulfen. Im not sure if they fluffwise would ever be able to become humans again, but im thinking that they might have difirent colors then the chapter and dont have chapter markings, so noone will know they are from the Hammers of Thor chapter. Tips on fluff are also wellcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 that's one UGLY werewolf you've got there! only a mother could love such a face*! :tu: *which is exactly how a werewolf should look like to be honest before anyone asks something! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think it turned out to be a pretty nice looking Greater Demon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 its not supposed to be a greater deamon, its a werewolf that uses the rules for thunderwolf cavalry. Anyone got any tips on how to paint the toung and .. gums, is that the correct word?

hendrik Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 @wulfbane: we don't need to be a fan of the complete werewolf theme to enjoy this chaps' hard work! I personally hate the big werewolf theme and prefer the wulfen as depicted in the 13th company artwork but enjoy all the work the OP put in it! though I'm taking it that your reply was more a tongue-in-cheeck one, right? :D @token; do some googling about how a real wolfs/dogs mouth looks and fo from there. I beleive some black and fleshtone are to be included if i recall correctly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3129564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksad Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 last I tried was mixing dwarven flesh and red gore for the "inner workings", elf flesh and red gore for gums, and blood red for tongue. turned out ok.

Token Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 This thunderwerewolf is supposed to be a thunderlord, with a belt of Russ. Does the belt look to much like an eye? Could be to chaoslooking..

Bearingtheword Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nice Conversions! Had to be a lot of hard work. I gotta say I like the second one's head much better. Much more Werewolf-y to me. Can't wait to see it painted! ~BtW I like the belt.....to break up the eye-ish profile, if you are not happy with it, have you tried doing a Thors Hammer? Might subtly fit your theme...

-Volsung- Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hey that doesn't look half that bad! Very nice! It's like an uber-wulfen haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3153880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthstar Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Anyone else look at this and just think of models from the 80's? Has an old school feel. The backpack isn't for me, I get you were trying to define it, but it seems goofy.

-Volsung- Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Oh here's a thought, if you could find a backpack unit of an Inquisitor-scale marine, maybe that might match this figure more? Unless that's TOO big. I'm assuming you're trying to scale the backpack so it seemed like they custom fitted a power armor to fit this ogre-sized wulfen, correct? Perhaps that might work? Or maybe the backpack on the space marine statue scenery piece. Not sure where to find that tho. EDIT- The Statue doesn't come with a backpack, sorry. As for the Inquisitor-scale Marine, might work. Take a look for yourself, but probably will be hard to find separate without buying the whole figure or wasting cash.

Nrthstar Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the comments. Nrthstar, any tips on how to make the backpack better? Realized my mistake by only giving you a generalized thought, my comment before was lacking. Being beast minded, these boys won't be taking top notch of their equipment, so if it was me, I'd try out some severe battle damage on the backpacks. Tear it up a bit. It'll take away some of the high contrast from the dirty fuzzball to smooth squeeky clean armor. Something to try at least.

Captain Hwarang Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Maverik_girl, how do you mean thin it out? Thinner highlighting lines? The armor is supposed to be kinda custom made for each thunderwerewolf. I think she means to thin the actual paint, not the lines. So...add water. I normally work with a ratio of 1 part water to 1 part paint. Also, consider painting the armor with charadon granite (not sure of the new equivalent), shading with nuln oil, and then highlighting with your current method. I think that would give your model extra depth. I love the ideas of these models, by the way. Keep'em coming! -CH Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257139-painted-thunderwerewolf/#findComment-3156558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Volsung, I think the inq scale backpack is to big. Nrthstar, do you mean like cutting in the grey stuff, making marks? Hwarang, would that still make them look black? Would rivets be good on the thunderlord? Or is that just for orks?

Wulfebane Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hwarang, would that still make them look black? If there's a new charadon granite equivalent, I couldn't find it in the store the other day... It's more of a brown-green shade just shy of being fully black (darker than adeptus battlegrey, but a warmer tone). Washed with nuln oil will make it pretty dark, but it still might end up with a camo green hue in some lighting.. though not necessarily a bad thing. A 3:1 mix of nuln oil/asureman blue (equiv) would potentially tone it back.
