mactire Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey guys I previously started this topic before but it looks like it got wiped during one of the crashes. Anyhow, I bought this primarch figure off Ebay a couple of years ago but was too nervous to paint for fear of ruining it however since FW will be releasing the proper model sometime soon I said i'd give it a go, anyway here are the wip and finished pics (I actually started this some time before the ETL but thats my usual pace). i tried to keep to the cover art from PB. WIP and cover art Finished work size comparison with TDA and PA, not too bad imo. As alway any c&c welcome.

Wulfebane Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You know that's not a GW sculpt. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283591-leman-russ/#findComment-3527417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, GW already has a Leman Russ model, so no.. the text you quoted does not, in fact, convey awareness.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 While a classic model, the GW Leman Russ is a flop for me. It does not evoke the kind of power and ferocity our primarch would have. Mactire: Thank you for sharing him!! I saw that online as well and just couldn't bring myself to buy it for the price asked... I can't wait for some 30K / Forge World wolf love!! I've been impressed with the sculpts, the special characters and primarchs, and lastly the phone book sized Horus Heresy Book that I have just began to read!!

Wulfebane Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I wholeheartedly agree the original is a flop, but this one bears the same burden for other reasons. I don't particularly envision our primarch donning a blonde wig for a night out on the town. Nor can I forgive the massive, fake Halloween vampire teeth and malformed skull. Don't get me wrong, the paint job does our chapter justice, but for me it just highlights how bad the sculpt is. Eagerly awaiting FW's version as well.

mactire Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys, yeah Wulfbane I knew it wasnt a GW sculpt some polish company did all the primarchs I think. Apart from the goofy face and the stupid bolter I dont think its really that bad, nothing compared to FW but what is. I tried to stick to the colour scheme of the book as closely as possible but I do agree the hair colour is not great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283591-leman-russ/#findComment-3528182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 how about using this method to get the blond hair good, all in anticipation of the forgeworld sculpt? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/259096.page Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283591-leman-russ/#findComment-3528598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
