Tanhauser - and Gue'vasa companion now!!

[Shannow]

Thanks for the comments guys!

The torso and head are taken from one if rackhams lone star wolfen hero characters, another came in the box, but still fiddling with him!

@Myriad, he's a void born, and I want to work the idea of a familial mutation based around wolfish features into his story.

Hopefully start painting soon, dependent on how swiftly and well my revision goes.

a familial mutation based around wolfish features

And small feet. Don't forget the small feet 

[Shannow]

Shhhhhh he's sensitive 

[Backyardpatrol]

You approve?

Absolutely!

[Shannow]

This is the third member of this warband along with tanhauser and his progenii truant (who in middle of being modelled)

This was mostly sculpted, not up to the scratch of all the great 'Clave sculpters (you know who you are!) but I am relatively pleased nonetheless....








And a scale shot with my new eldar ranger (paint job was Backyardpatrols and im not redoing as its lovely)



C&C welcome

Looking good! Your sculpting is really improving. I'm a little confused about his pose though - what is he supposed to be doing? Mid-jump? Crouching? I think he's leaning a little too far back, he looks very unstable, whatever he's doing...

[Shannow]

He actually looks like he leans more on the photos... Not sure why.. The pose is a 'about to start sprinting' pose, if you imagine he would pivot on the ball of his right foot and head off that way at a sprint:p possibly a little obscure.

Have changed his back mounted weapon out for much larger one but not sure about it, will post pictures when revision done for the day!

Glad you like overall anyway:)

I think the motion in the posing would make more sense if the cape were to flow a bit more in the same direction as his hair. Nice sculpting though. Nice and clean looking which is appropriate.

[Myriad]

He looks more like he's ducking to one side or dropping onto his left knee than about to sprint, but it may be the photos.  A very individual pose either way.  Great sculpting too, your best work I think.  Goes to show that once you start doing your own scultps you keep improving, so it's worth persevering.

Judging by the scale shot, he'd stand a bit taller than the eldar ranger, meaning he cuts a pretty mposing figure, especially in body armour.  Those guns don't seem to be imperial standard.

[Flinty]

Well, for someone who claims he can't sculpt, I think there is some very crisp green stuffing going on there. Agree that the pose is a little....different, I think Mr Caine's suggestion about cape-flow might help out a bit.

[Shannow]

Thanks for the comments guys! I've reposed him with his right foot on a higher plan so his back is straight, will put pics up tomorrow to see what you think and if still a bit iffy will have a go at peeling and resculpting the cape  as Ada..  er... Hadriel suggests

@Flinty - Thanks very much! Just when you put it next to Dave, Robey, Kallidor, Gav.. the list goes on 

@Myriad - He did end up taller than I intended as they usually do, but he is on tip toes.. I'd guess 62-63 fully straightened out. The guns are Tau tech (waiting for Marco's rules on them to actually write stats up) as he was in the employ of the Farsight Enclaves broken away from the main Tau empire, as a mercenary but then *insert backstory* ended up with tanhauser as a psyker hunter and odd job merc!

as Ada..  er... Hadriel suggests

that made me laugh. Oh the internet is a joyous place. Good luck with the alterations.

[Shannow]

Ended up just changing his position and was happy enough with it that I didn't want to fiddle removing and resculpting his cape....lazy?....quite possibly. Anyway pictures!








Apologies for the poor pictures, disappointingly cloudy today... C&C as always.

the pose is really better now. and it's very cool tho see how your sculpting skills have improved!

and not to forget, the paintjob looks good. it seems you have improved in those skills too.

Nice colour scheme.  The pose looks more as if his weight is moving forwards, which is a more dynamic look to the model.
