Subtle Discord Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I agree, it would take away from the scar and the character added by the look of being able to see the blind eye. An Odin inspired model is an excellent idea, but my opinion is that this head is not the right canvas for that idea.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Good point, SD. Maybe one of the Wolf Guard or the Lord himself for the eye patch and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I would say no eye patch also. Its already been done with the new Ulrik the Slayer model from the SW range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think there's also a Space Wolf Terminator head that has an eye-patch as well. So yeah, already some eye-patched Wolves. Just keep it blinded and it'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 YEah, the eye-patch is a great idea, but save it for a later model - the scar on this dude is what's giving him so much character. Hidden Content He went from coo-looking pained psyker to hipster in one session of catching up in this thread.... still, this is SO much better than that bland original head behind door #1. Thanks? I guess? Apologies, that came off wrong. First off, I meant to write 'cool-looking', not 'coo-looking', and second it was meant as a joke playing on his beard and ponytail - but rereading it I understand it was easy to come across as negative feedback (which was not the intent at all). Please forget I wrote it - I love the mini and that sculpted facial and cranial hair adds a ton of character to his already wicked face!! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 No worries, Augs, I knew you were joking and the sarcasm in my reply probably didn't translate either. Nothing new to show off but some different angles for better views of the hair and the bones I sculpted on the right leg, and a new position for the head I might like better.

Brother Heinrich Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Dude looks like a genetically altered super human Captain Ahab. I definitely mean that as a compliment. http://www.comicbookreligion.com/img/c/a/Captain_Ahab.jpg Lexington and Subtle Discord 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 You know... I did some thinking based on some of the ideas being kicked around in here over this figure, and I think for this little group I may do some mythological versions of the Norse pantheon as Wolves. This rune priest will become a version of Thor and that staff will become a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 You know, it's not too late to even change him to another Legion like... say... the XIVth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 But... the VI Legion is already Norse inspired. I mean, I'm all about the Dusk Raiders, so if you can convince me otherwise, please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly... I can't. I just really miss your Dusk Raiders. I am glad you're skipping the tired old Wolf theme, though. Speaking of those scales, have you considered when you do get around to painting on doing them iridescent? I know Green Stuff World has some amazing new iridescent / color shift acrylic paints.

DuskRaider Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I'm not really feeling that Fist... it may just be because it's blocky and poorly designed. I almost feel like he should have a power armoured left arm, possibly even bare. Love that Hammer, though!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 The power fist was just a trial based on previous suggestions, and while I like the positioning of it, it is an unimpressive design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yeah, I would actually go for an arm at his side or spanned out toward the ground to go with the flow of the Hammer down to the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Geigors claw might look cool instead of the fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Geigors claw might look cool instead of the fist. It probably would, but I am unsure whether a rune priest can have a claw. The modle looks awesome with staff or with hammer. I am not yet sold on the cloak though. Will it become pelt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think the idea of a hammer is perfect, but the shape of the head doesnt suit the model imo. Also on a side note, is it bad i know someone with that haircut/beard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the first arm I did that no one liked? Geigors claw might look cool instead of the fist. It probably would, but I am unsure whether a rune priest can have a claw. The modle looks awesome with staff or with hammer. I am not yet sold on the cloak though. Will it become pelt? I'm not planning on making the equipment on these guys legal for play so... I think the idea of a hammer is perfect, but the shape of the head doesnt suit the model imo. Also on a side note, is it bad i know someone with that haircut/beard lol The hammer was something from an old chaplain conversion that didn't pan out and it was handy so I put it on him. I still like the looks of it, but it may change. And Wolf #2 begins. This will probably be my Odin figure because of the pose and how tall he is. And yes, those are Inceptor parts from the waist down, which I will likely never do again. I wanted the heavier armor look of the greaves, but it was a huge PITA to get the skids (or whatever) off the bottom of the feet and then after cutting the thighs away from the hips to discover that the upper legs will not fit onto the lower ones at a straighter alignment (walking pose) without seriously chopping back some of the armor plate and parts of the thigh itself. Either that, or removing the knee pads which I didn't want to do. Dunno if I want to give him his traditional weapon of the spear, Gungnir, or swap it out for another two-handed weapon like a monstrous axe. Shout out to Doghouse for his latest tutorial on true scale to assist with the tartaros front torso mating to a normal PA rear torso. Oh, and a size comparison shot of father and son. I'll try to get some more pics later with a normal primaris (Thor's just a little bit taller, not counting the hood or hammer) and a PA marine.

Vazzy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I say keep a fist on 'Thor', just not that one( which, of course, you've already planned). Looking forward to seeing what you do with Odin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Oooh Thor is looking mighty fine with that head repose. When I first saw it, I immediately thought his right wrist could do with a decrease in angle to the forearm, but then you did exactly dad when you gave him mjolnir. Odin is looking promising. I gotta check out Doghouse's truescale thread again. 'Been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
