There Wolf!
(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/WereWolf.jpg)
Heresy's lovely werewolf sculpt, an absolute joy to paint. Quite pleased with how he turned out, too.
Base is still to finish, but I'm not sure what to do with that yet apart from the usual static grass. I feel like this one deserves a bit more.
-
Nice job but that pose still kills me! Looks like he's either pitching for the local team or else he's boogying at the disco! lol
-
Nice painting, not that keen on the model though, to spindly for a werewolf.
-
Very nice.I like the 'lope' to the figure.Good colour scheme too.Heresy sculpts are mostly separate componants...where all limbs separate and posable with blu-tac before pinning? :D
-
Thanks everyone, :)
Marrony, the arms, head and one leg are seperate, but go together really smoothly. I didn't have to pin anything, just putty over the joins.
-
Nice job, I do agree with the comments regarding the pose though.
-
There wolf, there castle!
Nice painting Bob :)
-
Thanks for the info Jollybob.I really don't mind the pose...
-
I have one of these as a blood bowl werewolf. I like the painting. Very crisp.
As you have shown me yours, shall I show you mine? :?
-
I think it would be rude not to now, Necrostone. :)
-
I had to make a comment:
I'm putting that model together, too - and I think Stone made a promise, here.... ;)
-
Great painting...
Not so much love fer the mini. I do agree. He looks like he is bowling on a cricket pitch. And it kinda looks like a tall monkey. But that's just my two pence... But normally I love Heresy's stuff. This one missed the mark...
-
My, what big hands you have, Grandma...! lol
I don't mind the pose so much, it is nice and active (imagine that guy chasing you over the moors...!), but the hands/paws are a bit oversized for my taste, though.
-
Well, it's the model I've seen, that reminds me most of the weres from Dog Soldiers. Fast, tall, lean, mean killing machines. You can tone down the hands by painting them in a more neutral way, btw. (I intend to; black, dark grey skin, I think).
-
I like this, JollyBob.
I feel like it's missing something... perhaps a splash of blood & gore around the claws and jaws?
-
Excellent painting!!!! A splash of blood or gore and a bone or skull might be just what the model needs to get away from the strangeness of the pose. I like it!!!! :)
-
Thanks for the comments guys. :)
I agree that this one is a very love-it-or-hate-it miniature, personally I think it has a nice sense of rangy power to it, but can see how others might think its a bit comical.
I also agree that it would look good with darker skin, but I thought that the more human tones would help emphasise it being a wolf-man. And I don't really do gore, everything is clean in my world, even monsters! ;)
-
I like the pose VERY much. This is the first werewolf figure I've ever seen that triggered my immediate "RUN" reflex. Great work.

It's a great mini and a cracking paint job.
By lovely coincidence, I did an order with Heresy at the weekend and added one of these to the shopping basket. Can't wait to get it now!
-
I'm another not too sure about the model itself, but it is pretty nice compared to a lot of werewolf models...I've never understood why there seems to be such a lack of them, or at least ones that are decent to my eyes. I'm one of those people who likes every kind of werewolf, for the wirey but powerful ones of Dogsoldiers, to the squat insainly strong looking ones of Underworld, so few models seem to capture either though.
The paintjob however isn't up for debate, it is very well done. I don't think the lack of gore/muck takes anything away, if anything it lets the person looking add it themselves to whatever greater or lesser degree their personal tastes like with their imagination.
