lokkorex Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Khorne himself would weep bloody tears of joy at the sight of the doomwolf! ...of Course, then he would take obviously take his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Master Laertes Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Both the MK1 Terminator and the Chaos Lord are simply amazing! You truly are an endless source of creativity. I do agree with JeffTibbets, however: if you cover up those runes and carve new runes in it (more than one per side, if possible) that hammer will lose part of his visual link to the space wolves and become more like an ancient and ornated relic from the past times.

Ion Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cheers, mate! I haven't entirely made up my mind concerning those runes, to tell you the truth: It's true that they serve as a visual shorthand for the Space Wolves, but at the same time, they also resemble the various runes that used to appear on older GW warriors of chaos. Hmmm... This would probably be because both the Warriors and the Wolves are based off of the Norse, and thus use the elder futhark runic script. That hammer has the rune Othila and what looks like Fehu on it, the runes of home/hearth and wealth. I found the chaos runes that were in one of the older books if you're interested at all. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/Pumakilla/Untitled-1-1.jpg Either way, I look forward to see what you do next ^^ Teetengee, JeffTibbetts, thamier and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cheers, guys! I'll be thinking about those runes -- promise ;) @ lokkorex: Hah, Khorne would never take the Doomwall's head -- he is too valuable a servant of the Skull Throne ;) @ recon0321: Do you mean my Chaos Knight or actually the Dreadknight based Wargrinder daemon engine? For the former, I'd refer you to the last few pages of this thread. If it's the latter you're looking for, there's a handy little writeup about the conversion right here. Right guys, there's another small issue regarding the Doomwall conversion I could use your feedback on. Here goes: Back when the model was only provisionally tacked together, I added half a chaos knight pauldron directly above the head in order to make the head look even more resessed, closer to the actual Mk I Terminator models and artwork: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/2/1/580404-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Huntmaster%2C%20Khorne.JPG However, when tidying up the conversion, it seemed like that element would have to go because there simply wasn't enough space left above the head. So the model ended up looking like this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/25/632624-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG BUT when I messed around a bit with the model just now, I realised it might be possible to add that small cowl after all. Which would look like this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/28/633477-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/28/633478-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG There is one caveat to this version, however: The added element slightly changes the alignment of the shoulder pads, so that it becomes slightly more obvious that they are basically hollow if one looks at the model from straight above: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/28/633479-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG So, to make a long story short, I guess my question essentially boils down to this: Which version do you think is cooler: This... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/25/632624-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG ...or this? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/7/28/633478-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Lord%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Doomwall%2C%20Khorne%2C%20Kitbash.JPG Your feedback would be much appreciated! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I'd go without the pauldron, it breaks up the lines too much imho Edited July 28, 2014 by ElDuderino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't like the pauldron because its spikes don't seem right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungicats Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't like the pauldron either as it makes everything look crowded, like there is no room for movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Definitely no pauldron, makes it too cluttered and no room for vertical movement of the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Whoa, that's an almost frighteningly unanimous vote! And it's pretty much mirrored over on Dakka.

Ashmantle Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Have you considered halving the pauldron and putting it directly over the helmet onto the arch that frames the head? That seems to me like it might solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Do you have any more of the Crushers shoulder pads? Maybe even the Knight skull like pad? If so why not try trimming one of them down so only the skull is visible above the Doomwalls head? I'm sure you did something similar a while back with a Termi lord? Sorry if I'm not making much sense here. EDIT Brother Hokar is the guy I mean. Edited July 28, 2014 by Biohazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Cowl him! He's called the Doomwall He shouldn't be super mobile, he should look like the tiny, super dense dreadnought that he is. The armored cowl looks like it's protecting his head from anything that may attack his business from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to me like it might solve your problem. I agree, with a little work you could have the pauldron without affecting the shoulders, easy-peasy.

Teetengee Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 As I said before, I feel the cowl could work just not this particularly bit as it, I think it is too spiky compared to the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Fantastic model. I like the idea do the cowl, but I don't think that piece works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardwc Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I really like the model with theses pauldrons. It seems very massive, perfect for a chaos terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Kraut, I love the pauldron. I see why you hesitate, but I believe the problem is easily fixed with some GS work inside the pauldrons, to make them look closed off. And especially since YOU like it with the pauldron, I say GO with it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
