The Wolf King

Hmm.... Stunning sculpting work, but I'm not certain whether I like this model or not. My eyes keep moving to his face... and at least in that picture his teeth look really weird....

 

Glad to see he comes with a shield, I think. I could see maybe switching out that axe for a shield... or just give him an axe and shield... I could see it.

OK, my own opinion:

 

Likes: Nice sculpt with a good moving pose. I do like his face (and I just realized no primarchs have beards, hmmm...). The intricate nordic details sculpted unto the armour are a nice touch. He's not overly wolfyt, which I absolutely love. I hate how overly wolfy wolf the 40k Rout are and I like this simpler, more profesional looking wolves of 30k, the same goes for their armour upgrade. The base is good. I wish we could see more of that axe and the backpack.

 

Dislikes: Mostly just the sword... I really don't like that sword. It's mostly because I hate over the top weapon designs, melee weapons need to be simple and elegant.

 

But overall I really do like it.

 

I also wonder how FW paints their space wolves.

Overall I think he looks pretty good, but I'm not a fan of how he's dual wielding an axe and a sword. The way he's holding the axe in particular looks really off, like the blade is facing towards him. I'd prefer to have the axe or sword replaced by a shield or pistol.

If I were to buy it I would replace the sword with a shield. But that's just me.

Love him! Might actually push me to Space Wolves! I actually believe that the issue with the face is this weird attempt at hyperrealistic skin painting that I've seen all over the modelling community, especially busts and 54mm stuff. Always ends up looking extremly soft, glossy and just plain out wrong. Remember, we've seen an unpainted version of the face in the past and from what I can remember, it actually looked quite good! Worst case, we'll have to switch in a helmet. Should work somehow^^

He's got a shield on his backpack. I wonder if FW made them interchangeable?

Even if they didn't, it should be a relatively easy conversion to do.

I sure hope so, that would be a nice touch from forge world.

Dont like the fantasy crossguard on the sword (im a bit of a historical snob when it comes to blades), and he needs a beard. Other than that I think Leman is the best looking primarch model released so far, with Rowboat probably coming in second. Probably. 

I think Leman will actually be my first primarch purchase, with a suitable addition of a manly beard of course. Now to continur the wait for Dorn...
