TrawlingCleaner Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Washes really dull the metallics. Give the edges a very gentle highlight with runefang or stormhost silver. I you have a really steady hand also line where the axe headchanges angle to become the blade with a very thin line of the same silver maybe? Either that or a coat f satin varnish to give it some shine. I particularly like the shading around his eyes. I'm thinking that I might paint the axe to look like a woodcutting hatchet, so the flat area greyish black metallic and then brighter silver on the angled down part with a bluish hue maybe. I'm not too sure how it would look but I'll give it a go. Erik looks great! Thanks dude!

Jackalwolf Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I really like that Erik. What strikes me most though is how well the white combines with space wolves grey!!

Krakendoomcool Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well done TrawlingCleaner you’ve made a great start to your Sons of Morkai. Your Erik is great. I particularly like the weathered face.

I agree, the white really pops with the dark grey Well done TrawlingCleaner you’ve made a great start to your Sons of Morkai. Your Erik is great. I particularly like the weathered face. Cheers Kraken, I figured even super soldiers get tired after weeks of fighting. I've gotten most of The Bear done, some highlighting, tidyups and some more runes to do and I think I'm nearly there.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The Bear looks promising. Will you add streaks of blood to that eviscerator? Will you decorate his base with a brutally bisected Ork Nob's remains?

I think I'll be staying away from blood etc, I can never get it right and I tend to prefer clean models as if he's just teleported in and is running towards the enemy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346481-the-start-of-sons-of-morkai/page/4/#findComment-5103751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakendoomcool Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 This guy is looking really great. Such a good pick of model to use as a base. He's got a great pose.

The massive chainsword looks brutal. Thank you dude! I'm nearly there on painting him, I'm very slow at painting unfortunately. Just a general question, I don't like TWC. They're way too wolfy so I'm thinking about converting something. I'm thinking of maybe using scimitar jetbikes with dark eldar venom/raider bits (bladevanes and hooked chains) with the TWC wolf head coming out of where the heavy weapons would be. I'd paint the heads brass or bronze to make them look like figureheads of a ship or something similar. C&C on that would be great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346481-the-start-of-sons-of-morkai/page/4/#findComment-5106058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Love the use of the FW dread for this.

TrawlingCleaner Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Love the use of the FW dread for this. It has so much character Mark 2 Njal looks great too :tu: Thanks man! It helps that the two headed wolf is on the sarcophagus, helps keep the morkai theme running.I'm not too sure on the Njal head. I feel like his hair should be wild like a weird forest hermit guy, almost like Radaghast the brown. I'm also think of swapping out the backpack from Erik with the two headed wolf one. And then giving the two headed Raven one to Njal and maybe putting on the Cyber Raven from the White Scars deathwatch guy. Not too sure how that would look Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346481-the-start-of-sons-of-morkai/page/4/#findComment-5108324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Changed the head on Njal and added a Raven to him, I think he's looking a lot better now I think IMG_20180622_161232 IMG_20180622_161241 IMG_20180622_161253 I also started in the Dreadnought and made a lot of progress on him,a suprise to be sure but a welcome one.

Looks Age of Sigmarry edit: i mean, the spear blade, looks stormcasty I woud say the blade on the staff belonged to a chaos marine champion model (the one with the axe and knife) It's actually from the spike racks on the back of a DE Talos.

TrawlingCleaner Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Just a quick bit of advice needed, for Long Fangs what should I be equiping them with? I feel like plasma cannons aren't particularly great whereas lascanons are way better. Am I missing something? Made some progress with Njal, C&C very welcome IMG_20180626_145010 IMG_20180626_145018 IMG_20180626_145029 IMG_20180626_145046 IMG_20180626_145055 IMG_20180626_145103 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346481-the-start-of-sons-of-morkai/page/4/#findComment-5112782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 For long fangs I've been liking missiles and lascannons. I know they are the priciest option but the versatility of the missiles is hard for me to pass up and the lascannons are really killy.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah most of my recent lists have had one of each of those. Side bite I did outflank the plasma cannons once just to see. Turns out they were not half bad in the alpha strike role. Of course with the nerf to alpha strike that is less effective now but possibly still useful. Some here advocate mixed squads to spread the options and bubble wrap them a bit but that's never been my style personally.
