Something different for the last update in 2010; Leman Russ Primarch of the mighty Space Wolves!
After reading Graham McNeals wonderful “A Thousand Sons” novel I had to dig out this old mini give it a paintjob...

A mini similar in size and style as my Sanguinius mini- The mini is sculpted (probably) by Scibor. I bought the minis quite cheap from a guy in Russia. IMO one of the best aftermarket Leman Russ sculpts! I used a Storm Bolter from the plastic SW Terminator box.

LOL, the sculpt was a bit rough...
So I went for a feral look...
;-)

**DooDoo**

He looks a little goofy. I think the color palette used lacks the depth necessary to overcome the limitations of the sculpting process.

**ReardenPro**

For a minute, I thought his upper lip was a mustache, and it made me think of Spencer Pratt's beard.

**Ultrasmurf_no_REALY**

where did you buy it from and does he sell all the primarchs ??????

Honestly, I do not remeber anymore. Sanguinius was bought via ebay from Russia, Leman (IIRC) also in Russia; Velard minis?

I also got some Primarchs from an Italian sorce, the guys who brought out the "Not-Emperor"...

**ghoulio**

Really nice work. Sanguinius looks amazing as do the paint jobs for Leman Russ and his fellows. The only thing (as others have mentioned) is that face just 100% ruins that model :(

**delrohir**

I love them, just love them, the conversion work is really skilled and the painting is fantastic.

**helghyst**

Very nice

**OoieGoie**

I like the Russ model. Personally though, Id get some green stuff and turn that face into a helmet.

**Billinator**

Is that actually an official Leman Russ mini? O.o

Not the prettiest face, but the paintjob is just B.E.A.-uuuuuutiful!

that must be from the time the lion decided to slap him around for a day before knocking him out with one final punch

**Reanimator**

I've seen this line of models and a few of the other primarchs before and you've done the scultps justice. I appreciate that they're not perfect, so I won't comment on any of the flaws therein, but the paint job is true to what I imagined russ to be.

**D.Smith**

Nice work (Y)

**Enjoyablenewt**

Wow really good stuff

**AAN**

Thanks guys! After the initial comments I was a bit frustrated to be honest...
;-)

**origarmi chicken**

Cool minis

awesome paint job

looks very nice. any trouble ordering it (i assume) from a certain lady in russia? i've considered put in some bids on her stuff but have always wondered about it. being polish, its natural for me to distrust my invading neighbors to the east and west... oh crap.. you're german... um... never mind.

i was surprised to see a thread by you that didn't involve a little WWII walker tank, though.

Leman russ looks very cool but still: Lion>Wolf...

No problems for me at all, but it is some years ago I orderd last!

LOL, yes I was focussed on Gear Krieg, but check my website I have a long history with GW games and many other rule systems...

**awb**

That is a very nice model!

**tom_gledhill7**

Cool looking, and that's a nice looking paintjob.

**The_Savior**

Nice work.

Of course everything about the model is good, except the fact that he looks like a Neanderthal. (The face that is.)

**Cnevets**

The face makes him look like he has down syndrome 0.o. Other then that, the model is pretty cool. Nice work!

**Pennywise**

This is really well done, I once read this (http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Bjorn_the_Fell_Handed) story about how leman russ was a
