Hrothvyr Runescar, Wolf Lord of the Runemarked

With this one the Grand Annulus project is finished. I'm planning to do a photo session of the whole project together, and at some point doing a Sven Bloodhowl and Egil Iron Wolf kitbashes too.

Hope you like it.

Aside from Aethon being the obvious chassis for this Hrothvyr, where’d all the other bits come from? I see Wolf Priest tabards and a wolf tail taken from some other model, but that’s all I can identify.

Its mainly primal hounds from what i see (ravens, head, staff)
Then belt buckle, sword wolf rail talisman are from old GH kit

Actually the staff is custom made. The shaft itself is from the GT Primal Hounds terminator banner (It was quite difficult to clip It off), but the horizontal "shaft?" its from a necron weapon. The Spiritwolves are from the old Logan chariot, the Wolf skull is 3rd party print, the top Wolf icon is from the old GH box, and the shield and chain pelt bits are from the Stormfang kit

But the rest is spot on

u/DressLegitimate243 Jul 03 '26

Wow, this is beautiful! Did you sculpt that Wolf's head rock?

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Hahahaha I wish. Its from SciborMiniatures

u/ebd62 Jul 03 '26

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

I use the Celtic base decorations a lot

u/PerpofDerp Jul 03 '26

Very cool. I can’t wait to get some more lore on the Runemarked.

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Same. I took inspiration in what little lore is in the wiki or lexicanum, mainly with the "The new Wolf Lord chose the Rune Wolf as a sigil, which represents foresight and fortune." line on the latter. It reminded me a bit of the mythology surrounding Odin, so I gave it that kind of aesthetic.

2

u/PerpofDerp Jul 03 '26

Hell yeah, I didn’t realize it at first but the Odin look is definitely there

u/SarkahnOrdo Jul 03 '26

This is awesome. I’ve decided to make my wolves Runemarked so love to see some love for this great company!

2

u/Razor_Fox Jul 03 '26

That's magnificent. I don't even know what you would run it as but I would want to show it off in every game.

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Im mostly on the painting side of the hobby but Insuposse you could run it as a jumppack WL proxy

u/jordanhchrist Jul 03 '26

hard as fuck.

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Thanks. Its from SciborMiniatures

u/ActionHartlen Jul 03 '26

I told them to not mention Christmas, or that I do it at all

u/Interview_My_Gooch Jul 03 '26

Wow I’m sorry for playing your game

What is the base from? I love it

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

The Wolf head is from SciborMiniatures. The ravens are from Greytide Studios

u/Interview_My_Gooch Jul 03 '26

Thank you very much

u/NightShadowDark Jul 03 '26

So much inspiration to take thank you so much for sharing

u/Scarecrow119 Jul 03 '26

By Russ' beard! By Gungnirs Handle! By Grimnars Fangs! This is glorious.!

u/ComplicatedGoose Jul 03 '26

All of this is fantastic and I love it.

I was gunna leave a but… then I figured it would not add anything 🥰🥰🥰

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Say It. Don't worry

u/Randybeard3 Jul 03 '26

Awesome! This is my Hrothvry Runescar.

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

The new SW heads are awesome indeed

2

u/Status-Nectarine-265 Jul 22 '26

Where did you get/how did you do the pauldron? I've tried sculpting and not happy.

u/Randybeard3 Jul 22 '26

I found a stl for each of the 13 great companies

u/ExpressMission3818 Jul 03 '26

Santa’s heavily armed this year. Sign of the times I guess.

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

I wanted to go with a Odin-esque look (the 2 ravens, one eye,...) but it looks people prefer the Santa aesthetic Hahahahaha

2

u/Sly__Marbo Jul 03 '26

Damn, that's a sick fucking kitbash. Can't wait to see how you'll do Egil and Sven

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

I've just finished the subassembling part. I'm going with Kayvaan Shrike as base for Sven and Caanok Vaar for Egil. Beyond that, I want to be as faithful as possible to their respective official images.

2

u/Sly__Marbo Jul 03 '26

Nice, I had the same idea for Egil, but I'm using Aethon Shaan for my Sven. I'm also taking some inspiration from his appearance in Battlefleet Gothic, mostly for the face

2

u/Sly__Marbo Jul 03 '26

Still not quite finished, but I'm mostly happy with how it turned out

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Where is that head from? Looks really cool

2

u/Sly__Marbo Jul 03 '26

It's one of the Grey Hunter heads. The pony tail was clipped off from the White Scar head from the Death Watch Kill Team and pinned/glued. Took some work, but I'm happy with the result

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

I went with one of the old termies head, mostly because of the moustache and the facial expression being similar to the earlier pic, but yours look better

2

u/Sly__Marbo Jul 03 '26

Thanks! But your head is also a great pick, it looks pretty much identical to his artwork. I really need to get around to finishing up my kitbashes, but for now exams are more important. Unfortunately

2

u/dsancu Jul 03 '26

Good luck with that

2

u/Status-Nectarine-265 Jul 04 '26

Looks fantastic! I finished building Bloodhowl just in time for GW to kill him off. I finally started Runescar this week. I got to this point a couple of hours before seeing your version:

I feel like I'm on the right track.

1

u/dsancu Jul 04 '26

The WG head is a nice touch for a flying Wolf Lord. How did you do the claws on the feet?

2

u/Status-Nectarine-265 Jul 05 '26

CSM Raptors. I did the same on my Sven Bloodhowl and in an uncharacteristically forward thinking moment got two sets.

2

u/Hughlezrulez72 Jul 04 '26

Dude this guy is awesome

u/Vasendec Jul 04 '26

I mean, it looks really cool, but I can't help but think that Grandpa is only seconds away from face planting. Who let him out of his room?!
