Hrjof, Norse Champion
Hello all! I´m a long time reader, first time poster! At last, my first post! Lets see, I converted and painted this model in one night for the local store painting contest held in Valencia ( Spain). I feel I did quite a good job with such a limited time! For anyone interested, parts used: Catachan head ( "shaved down"), Catachan left arm, Marauder body, Marauder banner pole, Blade of the axe from the Ork 40k sprue, uruk - hai pike! and some green stuff here and there. I´m quite happy with the effect I achieved for the blood ( I will post some more close-ups later), aswell as the rock effect with the base. Snow is reallistic if you have the model in your hands. Runes and banner are free hand. What I wanted with this model is to emphasize the barbarian, celts, ancient germans theme... in other words: excellent physique, huge weapon, runes and of course tatoos! Like most people direct influences come from Braveheart ( look at the face!). Please, Let me Know what you think! Thank you in advance.
