Jackalwolf Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have a problem guys: my list will be centered around 2 squads of 5 cataphractii led by Arjac (Vigga in 30k) and a rune priest in TDA with the armour of Russ. Issue is I can only use the cataphractii praetor legs in one of the two conversions so help me choose please. Shall I do Arjac: Or Njal: Right now I'm leaning towards Arjac since they're all wolf guard and that way I keep style consistency.

Guest Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Arjac :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5156626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Arjac's model looks more dynamic- he's posed as if he's fighting for his life.

Wispy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Do Njal. I really like the pose you have for Arjac but I'm a bit bothered by how old that head makes him. Always associated him as someone more thriving.

Armchairarbiter Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I like the Arjac one. The pose is great! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5156880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Why not both? Stick a magnet in the waist join (3mmx1mms should do it), you may need to take some artistic license with the paint job to have the torsos match the legs, but it could work.

Dantay VI Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I say V-I-G-G-A. Is the head from the fw SW terminator models or the power armour rune priest? Looks more dynamic and legs suit Viggas better. If you do Biggs, what pieces would you use for Njal? You need to fix Viggas hammer hand though ;) Also the grey slayers shields look ace on him. Always thought that they would be good for Arjac shield brothers as they are similar but less ornate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5157048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Arjac original sculpt is much worsethan Njal, so my vote goes for the Grimnars Champion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5157051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thank you all guys, I'm settled on Arjac then. Smasha, can't do magnet because I want to field them together and need to have them on display as part of my einherjar. I say V-I-G-G-A. Is the head from the fw SW terminator models or the power armour rune priest? Looks more dynamic and legs suit Viggas better. If you do Biggs, what pieces would you use for Njal? You need to fix Viggas hammer hand though ;) Also the grey slayers shields look ace on him. Always thought that they would be good for Arjac shield brothers as they are similar but less ornate Well spotted! It's from the fw termis. For Njal the torso will remain and for the legs I'm thinking Abaddon since the legs will then share similar design language to the ones of my rune priest (since the torso already does). Also since he will have in game the armour of Russ relic (not Njal but when I use him generic) I want something as big, ornate and imposing as possible!

Jackalwolf Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 What do the traitor Terminator librarian legs look Ike on Vigga? Unfortunately we couldn't save the legs, they had to be sacrificed to the gods of resin. I'm thinking I'll try Abaddon legs on Njal, or I could use all of Abaddon body for the wolf priest.

Jackalwolf Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 So here's my proposal for Njal. The skull in the chest fell but I could retrieve it. Just wondering if it looks better with or without it: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5157719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Whats your impression of them Grieux?

Stancer Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Go with the 30k sculp for Arjac. It looks much better and the pose and scale of the wargear befits a champion of Arjacs status. I always thought the 40k arjac was a terrible sculpt. The anvil Shield is particularly diminutive and looks like a Celtic Tunic button. ...plus who hasn't had foehammer snap off at least once?

Jackalwolf Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Whats your impression of them Grieux? I was thinking for my Wolves to have them and the Praetor for my Chapter Master/Grimnar I left a comment with a tutorial in your thread. I really like the Varagyr but they do need work, it's like they released a 10/10 product at 95% of development, that 5% lacking turning the whole into an underwhelming product but if you add it back with your work, you get that 10. The Praetor is perfect for Arjac so that's how I'm keeping him (thanks for the input guys, I'll post the results soon). For Logan if I model him I think he'll be based in the Tartaros Praetor Tribune.

Jackalwolf Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Geez these two conversions are quite involved. Posting some progress to keep me going. Changed the head to Arjac and the skulls in Njal to represent the wolf king and his two wolf brothers.

Jackalwolf Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wasn't really happy with the posing on Njal so this morning I risked the family's wrath and I'm much happier with these results: I think I'm going to keep the straps and not use the previously shown shoulder pads because: 1- I want to reserve that model of shoulder pad for the wolf guard and Njal isn't even from a company 2- He's meant to wear the armour of Russ if I use him as non Njal and he has straps instead of fur under the shouler pads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349957-arjac-and-njal-cataphractii-conversions/#findComment-5159159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
