Wolf Riders, Fast Attack Hack
|Got some feedback from you guys on and offline, thank you.
I’d especially like to thank Timothy Williamson, who commented with a view to making them more predatory. Which meant more putty work which meant.. gosh darnit’ I’ve got to revisit them because he made a Great Point(tm)
Naturally I turned to Photoshop.
Okay, lined up.. this looks like it may work..
Yup.. this has serious merit.
Well – I happen to have five of these Fenrisian Wolves, rejects from my first foray into trying to do these wolf riders.
Fast Attack Converting!
Timothy – thank you. Without your comment pushing me that bit further, I would have been content finishing these guys and being done with it.
Now I have the beginnings of real Wolf Riders on less massively sized mounts.
You can see the spinal fur I kept – this little touch brings enough detail to the rear legs that I think with minimal touch up is needed to bring across the hide elements when I add a few more hair tufts about the collar to blend everything.
Just awaiting an eBay shipment for the rest 🙂
This is why blogging is great – you gets feedback and it pushes you further than you felt safe with. Cheers!
Man, good thing I like converting or some folks might think me insane. 😉
Cheers gang!
Seb.
Wow these are just fantastic. Stunning work
Thank you 🙂 Dying to paint them up!
Wow
You’re very welcome. I’m glad my feedback was welcomed. they look really special now. The wow-factor is really turned up with those alternate wolves heads.
Send in the Goblin knights!
Hahah true. 😀
Catching up on your blog after being away, and wow, I love these! Lots and lots of bitz in there but the results are worth it!
Cheers LP! 🙂 Have to agree, just needed that extra push
Excellent! I may have to “appropriate” this idea my self, the results are spectacular.
Cheers – no problem at all – glad for the little push comments kept me moving forward on it.
Are these the classic wolf rider legs? They look great! Are you aware of any bare chested torsos which match?
INdeed, though to fit I did cut them across one hip to shorten the width. Easily hidden by kit bags or a bit of putty. The bare torsos? Hmmm.. likeliest would be Forest goblins or gretchin from 40k kits?
