sbarnby71 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Saw GW are about to release this: and thought it would make a nice background piece for a Rune Priest if it was painted as though it was made of ice. I thought about removing the flaming skulls, but then thought maybe it could some kind of wytch fire, painted up in green perhaps then that could be the glow colour in the eye sockets and the runes too. Anyone got any suggestions on colours? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350361-painting-an-ice-herdstone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnavaer Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Sounds like a great idea brother, I have been eyeing up the same piece to use as terrain and also as a turn marker with some magnetized tokens or runes to act as turn counters, I have one of the realm of battle boards painted in a snowy theme and my terrain is too so it should fit right in hopefully ! I was going to go for a slate grey colour for the rock with greeny/blue highlights and liberal use of scenic snow and resin ice effects to tie it into the board, would be great to see some updates on how yours turns out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350361-painting-an-ice-herdstone/#findComment-5168083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikuEru Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hah! I had the same idea of making it into a feral Fenrisian Shrine of some sort. Im buying that endless spell set purely for the birds. I need more runepriests... I had the same Idea. And the Horn could make a terrific Mission Objective or Artifact on an Altar or so, with a little work. (The Mead Horn used during Russ' and the Emperor's Drinking Contest? ;) ) Only thing I wouldn't know what to do with is the storming Bull Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350361-painting-an-ice-herdstone/#findComment-5168182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I also purchased the endless spells for the ravens to make it into Njal spell lol. But damn you now I want to buy 7 of these and make a diorama of Wolfsbane where Russ goes to the Underverse while Bjorn guards.

Jackalwolf Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My plan is to graft a thunderwolf head and legs and turn it into an effect for the spirit of freki spell.

Call it devils advocate but how would a bison be more space wolfy than a bull? Cause you do see Bison in the snow, unlike normal bulls (which I'm sure someone will find a picture of a bull in the snow).
