Fantastic work, the hair on that last model is particualrely realistic.

**youidiotkid**

Thanks or the advice. Do you have a preferred putty? I currently use pure GS, but Milliput is looking appealing.

**Bocete**

I cannot believe human hands did this. So, so amazing.

I use pro-create, having previously used green and brown stuff. I find pro-create the best stuff, so far. Milliput is very difficult to work with, I can't do much with it at all to be honest, it's 'crumbly' and very difficult to smooth, it is however, like stone when dry and easy to file.

I avoid using milliput on figures too. However I've found it's great for flat surfaces and anything geometric, and for filling gaps in vehicles too. As you've siad, it behaves more ike a clay than a putty.

Bit of a teaser update. Won't be too long before this one is finished.

**Desubot**

**warboss**

Very nice work indeed!

**whalemusic360**

My brain can't understand the crispness of the sculpting. Can only assume it's some black magic.

**Knightley**

I'm calling BS on all this, it's far to professional for any mere human to do. I demand an explanation!

**Gogsnik**

Beautiful. I like the slightly wrought iron look to the gorget detail, gives it an aged feel very simply and without over elaborate clutter. Fantastic.

**penguineater91**

Seriously... this is extremely impressive. I would love to commission some models from you, especially for leaders in my Space Wolf army.

But I would really like to see pictures/videos of your sculpting process! I know others have said it, but I would like to express my personal interest. Amazing work!

**Kepora**

Impressive work - shame that it's wasted on the Piss Astartes or their red-headed stepchildren.

**DrNo172000**

Those Norse inspired ones are simply incredible. They all are really, but as you can tell by my avatar photo (which is me) I'm a little bias for the Norse stuff.

**lipsdapips**

You sir are a sculpting talent.
I've never seen such fine work in all my life, can't wait for more!

Pretty much finished this one now, a few little things to clean up before he goes to the caster tomorrow. This one has taken me the longest so far. I wanted this one to have a heavy duty defender look, so I reinforced the armour giving him a bit more mass than my other models.

The head and arms are separate pieces so can be fixed at different angles. I had a play and quite like the 'looking up pose'.
So here's 'Logar Rond - The Emperor's Hand'. Hope you like him, let me know what you think.

I also found the time to make a Facebook page for my sculpting, there's a link in my sig if you'd like to have a look.

He is absolutely gorgeous. I'm curious about the length of his left arm though. If you line it up to the right arm, his hand would be somewhere near the cuff of the power fist... or has his right arm just been tacked on too low down?

Thanks, the arms are blu tacked on in the pictures. I just lined up the arms, the power fist arm is a little longer, the regular hand lines up to the middle of the fist (slightly nearer the knuckle end rather than the wrist end). Perhaps it's the pictures. He is leaning slightly to his left, I did this to make the power fist look heavy

**endtransmission**

Oh it certainly looks heavy

I guess it actually makes more sense for his hand to be inside the main body of the glove anyway as fingers wouldn't work properly if it was done the GW way

**FantasyBob**

Holy Emperor, they are great! Far better than the originals!

**GearheadXII**

Hot damn, these are incredible!

**warboss**

Stop making me look bad! I have trouble filling gaps with green stuff!

Does the switch of chapters mean that you're done with the Space Wolves?

**Commander Cain**

Impossibly awesome sculpting! That is a mean looking power fist as well, looks like it has some serious weight behind it.

**Desubot**

My god that is awesome.

Lol, thanks. I wouldn't say I'm done with the 'Norse' theme for good, but I am for now. I should be getting the fifth Norse figure I did tomorrow, so I'll get a picture of the 5 man command squad done over the weekend, hopefully. I'm sure I'll do more, I just fancied doing this one and not doing any fur for a while!

**Dechande**

I've finished the Viking command squad. Here is the newest figure, Vidar. Based on the Norse god, brother of Thor and one of the few survivors of Ragnorok, it is Vidar who kills Fenrir and breaks the beast's jaw.
The first casts I've had of Vidar are a light grey, which unfortunately makes him harder to photograph. He's blu-tacked together for the pics.

I've also added some pics of the 5 Vikings I have now done at the bottom, hope you like them.

And the whole '5 shades of Viking grey, assemble!'...

**endtransmission**

He rounds off the group really nicely. They should look fantastic when painted up

**Desubot**

Man thats some cool stuff.

MOAR!

(personally would like to see more Imperial fists

)

**youidiotkid**

Glorious. I can't wait to see them painted.

**Dechande**

I've received the first casts of the Emperor's Hand. I've go the first one together for some pics. The head is a separate part as well as the arms so can be posed as you like.

And one more pic, place your bets!
