stinkenheim Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi guys, first thread on B&C so be gentle Thought i'd show my wolf lord conversion, been working on him for a while and would like some c + c from you fine chaps (and chapesses).http://s400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/st...space%20wolves/Basically i've decided to go back to space wolves after a couple of years out and thought i'd make an army to keep my attention. I'm basically going to convert all the models to some extent (for instance all will have a diamond on the chest plate). Its my first extensive conversion, as you will ee from the pics.in game terms he will be equiped with master crafted thunder hammer, storm shield, terminator armour, wolf tooth necklace, wolf tail talisman, runic charm, bionics and he's going to have two wolves.the hammer looks very large and there is a reason for this, the other arm is going to be holding the two chained up wolves, so no space for a storm shield. Therefore i decided to say that the hammer projects such a force field around it that it offers some degree of protection to the wielder. Alos for people who question whether he could actually wield it, firstly its a two handed hammer (hence the extended handle) and secondly i'm toying with the idea of saying there is a small anti-grav plate built in, much like the interrigators sword in one of the soul drinkers books.Any how, i digress. What do you guys think...AndyPics are available further down thread aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezeki Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That...is one exceedingly large hammer wolf guard 2 (the one with Grimgor's axe) looks suitaby badass, #1 less so, but still cool I do have problems with the hammer though, even if it does have a forcefield generator built in it wont be that big. Thats just my opinion though, if you like the hammer, keeep the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wolf Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I agree that the hammer is too big...with it that big, it looks like it doesnt have any real weight to it because of the models pose. Id say tone it down a bit...perhaps make a small shield mounted on the forearm of his right arm for the stormshield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warforger Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hey its a nice conversion and use of greenstuff, although the axe seems pretty big..... Reminds me of my captain with a big choppa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Following a tip, i'm putting the images onto here. Wolf Lord http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00151.jpg Blood Claws http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00161.jpg Thanks for the comments so far guys... gonna have a look at the new fantasy chaos lords hammer and see what sort of size it is becuase i'm far from convinced about the hammer head myself. i just got fed up with looking at a stick :unsure: Andy ++EDIT: removed some pics, but also wanted to sa, lords hammer has been scrapped... need to rescult the hand and thinking of using the new mounted choas lords hammer (the spiky one), will get to work and post when i'vemocked it up++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Rofl that hammer head is HUGE! The wolf guard look saweet specially number 2 and blood claws with mohawks nice touch of ol'school. Personally waiting to the fall of new dex and miniatures sometime before 2010 but still drawing inspiration till then and i'll be following these for sure for some of that inspiration aka yoinkness.

stinkenheim Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yeah i've played space wolves for ages and really wanted a strong visual theme for each unit, for intsance all blood claws have shaved heads except for mohawks, wolf guard in power armour all have the wolf cloaks, long fangs will be the most bionic of the marines. I'm also working on the bodyguard for the wolf lord, most have double hammers, but two are actually gonna have shields made from plasticard. Old school viking-esque round shields. I've decided on runes for the termies aswell, and all will have the lords rune on thier hands and the lord will have theirs painted around his gorget (hiopefully). Cheers for the feedback guys I really appreciate it and i'll post updated pics as soon as i have them :lol: Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 heres a few shots of my very much wip wolf guard terminators. They all have chaos cloaks on their backs, but they will have a much bigger fur ruff going over the front of the shoulder pads. the hair on a couple is only the first part and more hair will be added (especially to the last one). Thunder hammer and storm shield, old school terminator armour aswell. Gonna have another sction on the gorget. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00210.jpg Thunder hammer and storm shield, gonna have a bit of a beard sculpted on. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00212.jpg Two thunder hammers, held down at his side (bit like one of the new empire warrior preists) http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00214.jpg Double handed thunder hmmer, held acoss body (think typhus with a hammer), more dreadlocks and braids to be scultped on down the side of his head. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00218.jpg Back of one termie, all pretty much the same, as said furruff to be added onto shoulders, should bulk them out at the top a bit more. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00211.jpg Long fang pack leader (again very much wip) http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00221.jpg For an idea of the colour scheme, check this thread http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=151481 c+c welcome as before.

nurglephill Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 while i agree with the others about the size of the hammer, i have to say that your modelling skills are superb! thats some great GS fu going on, some great poses but mostly some really great looking space wolves. well done and good luck phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Renen Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thunder hammer and storm shield, gonna have a bit of a beard sculpted on. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00212.jpg is that the Terminator Liberian Forcestaff arm?

AlexCrute Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Looks like a bit of Grimnar to me. And I don't care what anybody says about the Wolflord's hammer, it's awesome. He's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 yeah the arm is grimnars (as is the wolf head on my captain...). The hammer is being reworked, but i may well redo the whole of the hammerso as he is holding it just under the hammer head, that should help with a feeling of more weight. I'll keep you guys posted with updates when they get done... right now i'm off to play warhammer online, that dwarf wont level on his own <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 k long time no post... been busy with work and life but now im back with a few updates... firstly the wolf guard termie with double handed hammer http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00330.jpg As you can see, finally got the typhus arms on him, also changed his head for an old empire wizards (love the beard) Next up, wolf guard with 2 thunder hammers http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00333.jpg Made the hammers out of plasticard, roughed up the edges so they look like stone... this guys gonna have the rune representing stone engraved on his charms so its a kinda geeky nod to that, that no one will ever really notice but me :D http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00337.jpg This guys had a hammer added (still needs green stuffing but its gettign there) and a mock up of the storm shield... itll have a design sculpted on like the one below... http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00343.jpg The celtic/norse style markings that i'm gona press mould to make 2 shields. it's a round shield to keep witht he viking style theme, and will have a wood texture on the other side... fun times http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00339.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00340.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00341.jpg lastly some blood claws with powerfists, the bottom 2 pics are the same one (for those that arent sure) its just to show the positioning of the fist... also well on the way is the pack leader for the blood claws, armed with double handed thunder hammer held down across the body, and with a classic long fang head on him... i'll dig it out of the geek room and post some pics tomorrow.... take care peeps :P Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimfoe Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I can't really offer much criticism. The models are beautiful. Very nice work. The only thing I can say is I'm not really a fan of the really big weapons. But that's just personal preference. These models are awesome. Great work.

stinkenheim Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 fret not, the (stupidly) massive hammer the lord has has long been scrapped, along with the hand and haft of the weapon, when i've resculpted it i'll post the new pics... thanks for the kind words, andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinkenheim Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thought I'd update you fine peeps with some new shots. first up, theres my 3rd pack leader for the grey hunters (armed with a power weapon/bolt pistol). I've started to sculpt some different armour on him. He needs a 'hub' in the centre of his chest which will have 3 pipes coming out, 1 straight down to the belt and 2 to either side of he gorget. Oh and for those who love old school models, thats leman russ' head... http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00356.jpg Then theres some progress on one of my termies... sculpted the hair on him now, including his braids coming down. Hes also had a second 'layer' to his gorget and i've started on his wolf tooth necklace/talismans btw, if you cant see the hair properly let me know cos i'll photoshop a cloe up... http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00358.jpg Lastly here are some pics of the bases... as they are going to be my 'display' army i'm basing most of them on scenic bases that will have plenty of snow on them as befits the sons of russ. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00349.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00350.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00352.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/space%20wolves/DSC00355.jpg And soon i'll be alble to show you the fnished (wel unpainted but moulded) storm shields and a drinking horn for one of the termies Anyhoo, that green stuff doesn't sculpt itself (unfortunatley) so i'll be leaving you. Keep the comments coming, i need to hear about the stuff that doesn't work before its too late to change. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hey guys, here are some new pics of my wolf guard... nearly finished 2 of them now. First up is the pack leader for my bloodclaws, hes done, with the exception of the right shoulder pad, but i don't know if i should add any more to it or just leave the spce to freehand the company badge. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00370.jpg Then there is one of my termies, he needs the shield added and some charms hanging from the fur ruff. what do you guys think?? http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00382.jpg then there are just a few shots of some with more greenstuff added... really don't know what to do with the missing arm... will have to do something soon i suppose http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00379.jpg this guys pretty much done aswell actually... http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00373.jpg this guys gonna have greenstuff on the shoulder pads to make bands going from right to left and then rivets added to the pads and the torso (can't think how else to describe it) http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00371.jpg I'd really like to hear any suggestions from you guys as to where to go now with some of these, especially regarding the guy with the missing arm.... thanks, andrew :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Duke Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The termi with two hammers looks like he's taunting the enemy the come-and-get-it style Digging the use of gitsnik (grimgors axe) consider it stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
