AlexCrute Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The yellow recipe gave me jaundice, gout, narcolepsy, asthma and cancer, so I offloaded them on to my minibro. Looking at Revilers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommie Soule Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks guys. Here's where its at so far. still a way to go but i like it. A few tweaks to do etc http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/tommiesoule/4d8f1690-ff1f-4bb7-933c-610131a4f9b7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't want to say anything negative about such an excellent conversion and paint job, but... doesn't Ragnar Blackmane have a black mane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I dont think the "blackmane" refers to his hair, but to a wolf he slew...killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 IIRC, in the old fluff, he had blond hair whereas in the newer fluff it is indeed black. Since this model is very much a hommage to the bygone era of early 40k I can only assume that's why he doesn't have a black mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andvarr A Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Correct, he slew a giant blackmane wolf when he was an initiate, and went on to do rather mental things...especially in the spacewolf series of books. But as Dosj (doge :P) said, they rhetconned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Fair enough - I'd only ever seen him with black hair, so I was a bit confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 In the grim darkness of the far future, there is no hair dye. ...actually there probably is. Controversy averted! Huzzah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Excellent work. IIRC, in the old fluff, he had blond hair whereas in the newer fluff it is indeed black. Since this model is very much a hommage to the bygone era of early 40k I can only assume that's why he doesn't have a black mane. Another reason Games Workshop is such a popular target on 4chan- the company can't get its fluff straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Fantastic! You've really captured the spirit of Goodwin's original. Love the work on his boots. If i remember right that's a detail from the Rogue Trader days? Something about them being weaponized i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommie Soule Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have been doing a bit of work with some basing ideas. I'm not going to go nuts base wise because its going to be for my gaming army and it has to be durable and roughly match my army base style. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/tommiesoule/20160112_210721-1_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
