I am a fresh new player to 40k and I bought canis to be my first HQ, after a couple of days and doing some homework, I pick up Logan and decided to convert Canis into a Wolf Lord.

Meet Wolf Lord Thoradin. Runic POwer Armor, Frostblade and Stormshield. its still a WIP but hey who cares.

Tips and Suggestions is always nice

That may be one of the best wolf lord models ive seen. The only problem is that the necron head looks a little out of place. Lets see some more pics!

This is looking great. Keep us updated. ^What wolf head?

???Looks good so far.

I'm afraid that the image isnt doing justice to the mini, I can see plenty of detail in some areas but just blurry on others =/

Cool

Think you may be confusing the Wolf Helm with a necon head Tobi?

some pics from another angle will make it clearer.

hes cloak is still green it needs to be painted and finished, and he needs touch-ups all over but im still proud of him

Looking great so far, im a fan of the 'wolf head' helm.

its my favorite head of out of all of them i actually set the rest of my wolf heads to the side and use it only for special occasions

I am to, I jsut need about 200+ more.

My best friend plays Tau, and he keeps giving me gak, because my SW all have shadow grey armor, and if they are higher ranked it goes to dark gray. Logan i have accented with shining gold. and Hawk Turq. and Wolf Lord Thoradin is boltgun metal and ice blue (best color in the world)

Looks awesome, that's one great conversion.

I don't know how you plan to run him, but I would consider a cheap unit of fenrisian wolves to run with him into battle. You can pick up goblin wolf riders, paint them up similar to your canis wolf buddy and have a very slick looking unit running across the board to tear into those Tau.

I like it, makes me want to build my own.

I have some Fenrisian wolves that I can run with, or my Thunderwolf Cavalry that consists of 4 guys. So a beefy unit of 5 guys on wolves that have one thing in mind, destroying gak. Just that unit by themselves killed half my friends Tau army.

Great conversion. Looks really crisp. Although i must ask, did you start painting before basing? or was that a used shoulder pad? Just wondering, i like your greenstuff work. You must be a natural if you are new.

yea it was already painted for one of my gray hunters....and for some reason i wanted it on him....dont remember.
but i bought my first 40k piece 3 weeks ago i went to art school but that was for illustration

Your doing well. I was in the standard art world. More design, with some illustration, didnt go to school got lucky. Then lost that luck, but yea, your off to a great start.


Even if you know illustration this should come naturally, shading is key here as well as illustration.

the only thing i catch myself thinking. "where is my light source" and then looking around to see where my desk lamp is hitting to paint in my shadows >.>

Worked on Thoradin. My name for my Wolf Lord. I have very few touch ups here and there, but for the most part he is done, if i see anything in the future i will pick him up and work on it.
Also here is my Logan Grimnar I just started tonight. I decided to make my HQ's much darker armor than the typical light shadow grey armor.
