Arjac Rockfist: How to build him?

[geneticdeviant]

What bits / kits are best to buy in order to build a cool looking Space Wolves Arjac Rockfist miniature?

[Duke]

Id love to help but I don't have the codex in front of me... What is his general discription? I know he has a Thunder Hammer...

If you buy the space wolfs new termnater box youhave everything execpt his cloak.;)

[fuzzbuket]

SW termie box Build a HUGE hammer and sculpt a cloak out of milliput

[Nabterayl]

I've always pictured the Anvil Shield as being more rough-looking than a regular storm shield, too ... the phrase "slab of obstinite" makes me think of him wielding a rough-hewn slab of black rock as a shield.

[Emperorsmercy]

WHen I did mine, I did some quite heavy converting of the Darnath Lysander model. It's pretty good especially if you don't want the other terminators.

[Duke]

If you wanted to do some converting and such then I think that Commander Cullin would be a great start (Forgeworld) then add wolf parts. I like NAb's idea about a rough looking Shield, don't just stick a standard storm shield for that one. Actually you could look at using some Chaos Warrior shields, and filing off the chaos marks.

Since Anjac throws it ala Thor, you could take a Thunderhammer and shorten the handle for a fat mace look.

Failing that, you could always google the words "Heroclix" and "Thor"....

I was going to cut a 2nd Logan Grimnar I have, repin his axe arm with magnets, then put TH bits on his axe blades. Then a large shield maybe 3rd Party Chaperhouse Shield on the other arm, or look thru WHfb,or Lotr for kool shield to make it look more Viking like with wood. I don't like non viking Scots style SW crap now.:eek:

[faolan]

Well, my take on his was this:

That's Commander Culln's body, cloak and hammer head from the Wolf Guard Termie box, shield is a scratchbuild, icon on the banner pole is from the WGT box as well, and the arms themselves came from the Space Marine Assault Termie box.

Oh yeah, the head is from the Wolf Pack box.

[Cryl]

I like that alot. Maybe drop the back banner but that's a personal thing, I just don't like them, the hammer is suitably massive and scary and the shield is crazy enough to believe that he means business with it.

[Duke]

I had a feeling Commander Cullin would be a good start. You could shave down the Scorpion symbol and use the Wolf Symbol from the Drop Pod Sprue in the center of the chest.

Great model!

[faolan]

You could do that. What I did was take one of the icons from the WGT box and shave it down to fit over the scorpion, so as to keep both the symbol of the Imperium and add in the Wolf touch.

That one, I believe was one of the heraldic shields that goes on the shoulder.

I have considered replacing the banner pole for an anvil or the like up there, but I was running low on time (for a contest) and hadn't had that inspiration yet, so I went with the banner pole, ala 4E style.

I made my Arjac only using parts from the Space Wolves Terminators box and a little greenstuff. The head I used was the one with the mohawk but I filed it down so he looks bald like in the artwork. I cut the wolf paw design off the shield and made my own "anvil" design out of greenstuff. I found that while I have gotten better at painting over the years I still have a very hard time with sculpting with greenstuff. So with that in mind I sculpted an anvil on top of his back by cutting up a sprue and shaping it all anvil-like. It's kind of hard to see it in this picture from this angle. I haven't painted the shoulder pads yet because I am still undecided as to which great company he will belong to.

i built mine straight out of the wolfguard terminators box -- there's a set of legs that're running and plenty of ways to position the arms -- so mine looks like he's sprinting in ... comments abotu the cloak above are on point, since the big one that comes with the box is fairly static ... but you don't need to buy anything special to craft one ... i think a different paint job alone would suit you fine (eg: put him in pre-Heresy grey armor vice space wolves blue, etc)
