So having found myself with a Loganwing army and a land raider, I was curious why in an army dominated by Wolf Guard I hadn't yet made the special upgrade character. Looking at my bits box, then back to a bits order in progress, I ordered a terminator body for about the cost of a paint pot. I present my Arjac Rockfist.I did away with the silly anvil (yes I know he is the 'Anvil of Fenris' but it looked rediculous. A nice wolf pelt fit way better. I sculpted the fur to join the chaos cape to the wolf head and although it gets larger, I attribute that to the big bushy mane on large wolves. I now have someone to lead a close combat oriented unit and jump out of the land raider. I know Logan could have, but I really like that Arjac isn't an independant character. I also lacked storm shields in the army (if I don't want to upgrade to Arjac) and he can become a lone wolf too since I left off the anvil. I burned through this guy in two nights and I'm finding my motivation to paint special characters is FAR in exceedance to rank and file troops. I knew that before, but figured it wouldn't be as prominent in an all terminator army where I bothered to model everyone uniquely.
I didn't paint any lightning or glow on his hammer (I don't think I could quite capture a look I wanted and my technique for power swords wouldn't transfer well. So I put a few washes of asuremen blue over boltgun/mithril. I like the darker hum of power :).*Looks down at many half painted models*
I have 6 Blood Angels assault marines that have been aching to get painted for a really long time. Maybe I shoudl finish them but these scouts just look way more fun...
