Xin Ceithan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 And wasn't he supposed to be blonde? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293585-ragnar-blackmane-art/#findComment-3741700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not in this or the previous codex. Because someone missunderstood the nickname Blackmane. Ragnar was blonde during 3th ed.

DarKnight Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Excellent work brother, think you skirted the line between wolfish and vampiric with those canines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293585-ragnar-blackmane-art/#findComment-3741736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaboom Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 But they got it wrong! They gave him Greyhunter pack markings. Damn, I followed the references and nor FFG neither GW said a word about it. So much for IP art direction...

Vash113 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Damn, I followed the references and nor FFG neither GW said a word about it. So much for IP art direction... It's no big deal, we're not going to lynch you or anything And yea, GW's art has rarely been very accurate. P.S. Also the wolf pelt should be black, as that's where he got the name Blackmane from P.P.S. He's also supposed to have wolf claws worked into the rim of his boots, the better for kicking things, see: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Space-Wolves-Ragnar-Blackmane P.P.P.S. It's still a great piece of artwork and we love it! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293585-ragnar-blackmane-art/#findComment-3741840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaboom Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 About the pelt: since I saw several official depictions of Ragnar wearing brownish or even white pelts, I decided it was more interesting that way. Same as before, they actually made me change the color from white to brownish, but not to black. And, about the wolf claws: man, I was too lazy to do that :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293585-ragnar-blackmane-art/#findComment-3741871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also supposed to have wolf claws worked into the rim of his boots, the better for kicking things, see: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Space-Wolves-Ragnar-Blackmane Vash, do you remember his Rogue Trader era rules? He used to actually get an extra free kick attack using those boot claws. Those were the days :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293585-ragnar-blackmane-art/#findComment-3741972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookieman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 the story at the end of the 2nd edition codex hints that claws were retractable, hopefully they make a comeback in the new codex.
