Pack Leader Update

-

 


Last night I was going to leave filling in the empty gaps until tonight. However, I decided that I had to do it so I could detail it when I get home, later. I decided that I would get a bit of a pult going on around his waist, so made sure to create a base to sculpt the fur onto.




As you can see there is enough shape and support there to make it look interesting and have something to push the putty against. I also made sure that there was only enough filling done so as not to impede sculpting the undergarment detail later.



I had enough putty left over to start push8ng it into the moulds I had made. I ooted for the two headed chest plate from the firstborn Grey Hunters box set as well as using an Agressors shoulderpad (from the upgrade sprue) for the wolf symbol. I was going to leave it there until tonight, but I couldn't. 




This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I couldn't help but demould the push mould pieces. The chest piece fits well, though I want to add some more details to it. Maybe a neclace with runes and some teeth trinkets on. We'll see later.
The shoulderpad symbol is a bit off center, but I think it works. I'll need to do a bit more cleanup when I'm back, but it shouldn't take too long. All in all it's looking good.


When I add the other shoulderpad later with the chainsword arm I'm going to definitely add in some fur to it. Maybe have it strapped diwn with some leather. If I have time I may also add some Wolf Guard markings to the kneepad and other markings to the armour. We'll see. That'll be a job for later.

An old Saga

With the refresh of the Space Wolves range in 10th edition of 40K I have been inspired to drag out my piles of unfinished Wolf brothers and get them ready for the tabletop. I've been slowly amassing and building both firstborn and primaris miniatures for years. In fact my first force was from the Rogue Trader days that saw 2nd and 3rd, then got shelved before 4th edition and suffered heavy loses during the great miniature culling of 2006 where I reduced my entire collection down to about 50 models in total. In 2009 I  started building up my collection  again, but no chapter or force has ever held my attention in the same way that the Space Wolves have. There is something about Vikings in space that just speaks to me. The current force I have built and am currently painting is a Primaris one consisting of the following (copied straight from the app): Space Marines Space Wolves Incursion (1000 points) Champions of Russ CHARACTERS Lieutenant (85 points)   • Warlo...

A New Wolf Guard Pack Leader

So, to start things off with my Primaris Space Pup force I decided I would create an alternate to my current Pack Leader armed simply with a Bolt pistol and Chainsword. I'm hedging my bets that in the new codex you'll be able to attach them to a bloodclaws pack. Who knows. Either way it's been a bit of fun. I started with a collection of parts that included the badic 1:56 scale mar8ne components I had made for my truescale marine project from years ago. It was based on the Jes Goodwin soace marine design from his Gothic and Eldritch art book. Always loved the shape of it and thought it would be a fun addition to the army. Also, it would s5abd out from the rest. I selected all of the parts that I thought would fit the idea of an advancing Pack Leader, similar to the Combat Patrol one that was released not too long ago. I thought the pose and the bulky armour would look great. I started by putting the legs together in a position that would resemble a kind of job forwards. I p...
