I used Fenrisian wolf bodies as the base model. I sculpted a new tail, added two more digits to each paw, and modified the snout. I had two ideas in
mind for my canids. One was that they would burrow in snow and their
nose should be high up so it would be out of the snow, so I positioned the nasal orifices higher on the skull.
Second I wanted a substantial tail- the canid uses it to swipe the snow behind them to disguise tracks etc. as they hunt- I kind of assumed they weren't an apex predator, so even though they are tough and vicious they have to be sneaky too. Also, the tail, along with rest of the pelt, is what makes them desirable for hunting.

One of my humans for the setting, who got separated from her pack...
And the same picture with some snow effects added in Photoshop.
I like the conversions and the use of pink on the canids. Are you planning a larger force for Gelida?
ReplyDeleteSo far I have a Sentinel walker and pilot, 5 hunters, 5 raiders, and 5 wolves (one of those is going to go to the Dark Eldar Arena of Blood though). Planned is another mech, an Adeptus Mechanicus guardian, and two tanks/armored carriers. Originally only planned to do the sentinel!
DeleteGreat idea and nicely executed. This is quite a spectacular project!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it sort of came out of nowhere. I was never interested in gaming in a snowy setting!
DeleteWow, marvelous conversions, well thought through and fantastically well sculpted.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteMost interesting! I really like what you did here!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBrilliant! I love the snouts in particular. The relatively minor changes have made a huge difference to their look.
ReplyDeleteHave you shared the poor human before? I'd love to see what he's made from.
I haven't shown that one yet, I do have a WIP of some human groups. She's a Victoria Miniatures 'Not Valhallan'.
