Lightning Claws - Bringing awesome into 40K Wolverine style! |
Like with all my Character models, I fitted a Dark Elf Sea
Dragon cloak to his back to represent a Salamander’s Mantle and rebuilt the
sides using Green Stuff. While I was at
it, I sealed off the ends of the severed power-cables for the lightning claws
so that it looks somewhat natural (at least as natural as an 8ft genetically
enhanced super soldier can be), making sure this time that I was still able to
fit the shoulder pads on the arms (I was NOT going to have a repeat of the
Librarian debacle!). Satisfied, I
finished the modelling by adding the extra details such as purity seals, Iron
Halo, grenades etc and he is now ready for undercoating.
As a bit of a cheating move, I’m going to use the pictures above as my WIP photos for this entry. Since I intend to paint him anyway, there’s no point wasting the opportunity for more photos. The Forgeworld pauldron has been cleaned using the accepted method of warm soapy water and a toothbrush. All in all, this model screams ‘Salamander’ which, in my mind, means a job well done.
Catch you later

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate! Hopefully the paint job will do him justice once it's completed.
