Amarog Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 So as i dont like the GW model of ragnar like a few others have also said, i've made my own version and quite happy with him all from bits and bobs i had lying about in boxes etc. now to paint .... urgh! http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141225_130522_zpss3eqqxiy.jpg p.s. anyone have recommendations for doing lettering? i want to write "frostfang" on the sword. thanks. also here is what ive done for the shoulder pads as he didnt have the sexy wolf head pack. not perfect but should be ok once painted. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141225_130538_zpsympfpomt.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 What kit is the sword from? i would like to steal it It's a Chaos Marine Chainsword. I would only recommend you clean your sprue lines up. That is only one of my pet peeves, forgive me!! ;) I love the filed down wolves head of the shoulder pad however!!

Amarog Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 thunder ... thunder ... thunderwolf!!..... hoooooo. WIP - keeping them all simple for now as i have a ton of models to paint and want to get them all "table ready". http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150101_165818_zpsxa1hf9zh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3906423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It's a pretty good kit bashed Ragnar. My only critique would be that I think the sword is too far removed from the hilt. If you removed the power field generator and maybe the cable junction section from the Thunder Hammer Haft and moved the chainblade motor section of the chainsword as close to the grip as possible it would look more like a sword and less like some bardiche/pike/glaive looking thing.

Vykryl Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I was going to call his Ragnar ' sword a flamberg but that turned out to be a different style of sword. I've seen long handled broadswords but can't remember what they're called at moment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3906573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwulf Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You mean a zweihander? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3906717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'd put him on a bigger base; that 25mm is way too small for a leader of his stature, and you're going to want better stability to keep him from tipping over on the tabletop, too. I'd put him on one of the new 32mm bases, at a minimum (provided you can get your hands on one), or just go for a 40mm, since he's your Wolf Lord. Otherwise, he looks pretty good - well done.

Vykryl Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 You mean a zweihander? No, what I was thinking of had a 24 inch handle and 36 in blade. Found a sketch but not an actual weapon. Will have to keep looking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3906761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfgar hammerfist Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It looks good! For the lettering, I would suggest using a micron pen. You can get them pretty cheap from a craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

Amarog Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 cheers guys. yea i wasn't sure about the base so i will definately be putting him onto something bigger that i can "boss up" to make him stand out a lot more. and i'll go to my local hobby shop and see if i can pick up a micro pen thanks again.

Amarog Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 well due to buying too many new bits and bobs and real life stuff ive only just come to the end of the painting on my gh unit lol. sped the process up due to a new campaign that my local club are doing where by a special rule for the entire campaign is pref enemy : unpainted lol. so everyone has to step it up for next month. anyway, here is the same gh squad. not perfect but im happy as im still a huge novice when it comes to painting. just basing to do now. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/IMG_20150211_201840_zpsroljnknt.jpg also some stormwolf progress. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/IMG_20150207_220531_zpsaodmzxza.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/IMG_20150208_163908_zpse9666jgr.jpg And a drop pod. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/IMG_20150205_212027_zpsnxpm0j98.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3948073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgr_maddog Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think your models are coming along nicely, but pref enemy : unpaintedis the greatest thing I've heard for some time!

Stoic Raptor Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm going to suggest that rule to my local play group too. I'm pretty sure the only ones who won't favor it are the ones who never paint their models.

Amarog Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yea its certainly inspired me to pick up the pace. Very sneaky. The campaign before that was hatred:non-wysiwyg >< I didn't do too well in that as most of my models were done to look nice and not necessarily with the same equipment as paid for. Final update on the GH unit :) finished and out of the WIP cupboard lol http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/lelltomgeorge/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150213_221809_zps6l1hhe8d.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301210-wip-thread/#findComment-3950399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgr_maddog Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I like them. You might want to consider adding some numbers. Maybe something like 1 . 1 . 1 . 1 (dots centered vertically) around the base?
