My Raganar Blackmane, Retro Tribute is finally finished!
And strangely in time with the the release of the new Ulrik Model from GW, maybe my Ragnar was being watched and chosen from afar........
I took my time really considering how to finish this guy but my gut told me he was done and as an artist i like to trust that feeling.
There is so much more I could have done, Battle damage, more freehand neaten bits here and there but I couldn't shake the feeling it was just be a show off or score points or whatever as opposed to make myself happy as a hobbyist. I can't wait to get this guy in the GW Manchester cabinet with the rest of my army.
This Project was meant to be the final cherry on my army cake but with the new Space Wolf kits out I may make a couple of exceptions, of course Ulrik the Slayer may be one of those exceptions!
I would like to say thanks to some guys who generously helped me out with this guy too. Luke Wilson, Shane Rozzel, Jon Hart, Paul Evans, Damien Pedely, David Rodriguez-Gonzales, Mark Tait.
Their eyes, brains, experience and generosity was invaluable!

It's so 90s a discman just spontaneously manifested in my hand. Bass boost has been activated.
Looks great, good work framing the face and keeping it the focal point.

This is simply amazing! My new favourite mini. It has fresh new aura but also full on nostalgia. Wonderful.
No. Ragnar is blonde, the "blackmane" name comes from the black headed wolf he killed (and now wears).

All I can say about painting is that VMC tastes much better than VMA... especially black...

Apparently he changed from blond to black in the late 90s and has been black ever since thanks to the Bill King novels. So he has been black for longer than he has been blond

Because his hair was originally was bright yellow blonde. GW changed it in the past few years to be a less-gaudish black to fit with the name.

We put a lot of emphasis on the skill of the painter but the amount of time it probably took to do that should be appreciated as well.
Excellent and an inspiration !!

Sword is from the Space Wolf Upgrade Pack.
This conversion is fantastic. It really makes me want to get another Krom so I can make one myself. Would just need the upgrade pack, a Krom, and one of the Chaos Space Marine topknots. Nothing quite as fancy as this conversion.

Maybe even more so than the other upgrade packs I have to say the Space Wolf one is totally worth it

If the Ragnar model is ever re-imagined by GW they have a very high standard to live up to after this conversion.

Nice work. Impressive paint job! Though you know Ragnar has black hair, right? That's why he's called Blackmane.

His hair is black, the wolf is brown according to GW.

This model pays homage to the 2nd edition Ragnar - which had blonde hair and the twin back banners.
