Graymane Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Greetings brothers & sisters, I would like your opinion and advice, if i may, on the rune priest i am working on and planning to complete for ETL. I started with the standard GW plastic librarian: And have started to try and wolf him up. So a little carving, a head swap, some bits and some green stuff later, i have him looking like this: Apologies for the dubious pics, but they are the best i have at the moment. So that do you think? any advice and/or comments welcome! More to come shortly! Cheers, Graymane Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322624-rune-priest-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graymane Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 A little more, some with arms and the WIP staff... not sure what else it needs though apart form a larger base. Thinking of changing the knee, leg and belt icons though. Your thoughts? cheers, Graymane Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322624-rune-priest-conversion/#findComment-4401298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarog Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Awesome work so far. Nice green stuffing. I think it looks great as is ... obviously if you want then change the belt and knee icons but other than that I'd say he's awesome.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I agree with Amarog, the GS work is really nice. The braid on the side of his head is very well done. I wish I could sculpt like that!! In my eye, the horned skull iconography present on most codex Librarians also has a place upon a Rune Priests armor. If that fits fluff-wise, I am not one to argue either way. But ascetically, I quite enjoy it for no other reason than it looks cool. Nice work, and I am excited to see it with some paint!!

Kassill Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 That's some really nice GS'ing! The headpiece looks a little off. Can't really put my finger on it though. Is the wolf skull just on top of the original skull? I do like it overall though! Looking forward to seeing it painted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322624-rune-priest-conversion/#findComment-4401366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
postxhumanity Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Looks really good! It's not at all my intention to hijack this thread, but I thought this would be a good place to ask: has anyone converted a Rune Staff without buying a librarian model? Making the standard SM staff look Wolfy seems easy enough, but I was hoping to make a Rune Staff or two out of spare bits if there's a good way to do it. Any thoughts? Thanks!

NightHowler Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 That is some top notch greenstuffing!!! Can't wait to see it painted. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322624-rune-priest-conversion/#findComment-4401532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wispy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 good work! this guy is pretty easy to convert. I like the short beard, so i left it. then I carved off his robes and replaced them from some wulfen pelts. then I stuck a single frost claw on the end of the staff to make it a spear and called it a day.

Dantay VI Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 How did I miss tis... Awesome looking rune priest... Love the sculpting. Drop the horns and add tiny fangs o the skulls, so It looks like Long Fang symbols?
