I finished painting my wolf priest today. I'm happy with how he turned out. Quite a bit darker than my normal space wolves but still in the same style so he should fit right in. I didn't go with a true black but painted him with Charadon Granite and 3 washes of badab black. The highlights were dulled a lot in the photos but there is adeptus battlegrey on there I assure you :) The eyes were a pain to get to and I restarted them literally 10 times. I'm not happy with them now but I got tired of repainting them. I really need to buy new paint brushes is the problem. My detail brush is probably four years old at this point (still the blue handled GW one).
Here are a few more angles. Friday night he'll be let lose in a game so we'll see how well he does. At this point I don't think there's much more to add to my Logan-wing. I may paint up two fenrisian wolves for the odd time I run a lone wolf but that's probably it. It's nice to finish projects.
I took a chaos terminator combi melta and cut off the strange symbols. The chaos gloves and such will look good as my 13th-ish style too. The giant chainblade is the 'Fang of Morkai' which can messily extract progenoid gland. The crozeus is made from a power maul shaft with a wolf standard? bit in place of the head. I modelled a new helmet from him out of a genestealer skull. I had to cut the back of it down a lot so that it would fit into the armour and not protrude oddly. If you look at the feet closely you can see where I have added 2mm of plasticard to give him more height as I have with all of my terminators.
I would have never thought to use that particular bit for a head, but it seems to work and be slightly disturbing on top of that as any good Chaplain should be.

Thanks, I can't actually take credit for it. I took the idea from some guy's image I found on google that did this with a space hulk terminator. I modified it slightly to be more recessed but the idea was his. The internet is for sharing though!
DeleteI agree with Ron - cool and disturbing....
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
