Title: Estel's Cult of Ulric [WPofU XXVII.IV.MMXII]
Post by: Estel on February 09, 2012, 09:06:06 PM
Howk!
I would like to present you my new project which is Cult of Ulric Empire Army. This is not my new experience with this kind of hobby but I had a very long break so after nine months... here's what I was born... most of these models are in progress:

Knights of the White Wolf:

Do you recognise this model? Yeah you right this is new VC Krell but not for me... for me it's going to be a Warrior Priest of Ulric.

(http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1065/obraz042ps.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/585/obraz042ps.jpg/)

These are wolves modeld which are going to be placed on KotWW movement trays:

Look like Space Wolves to me.

Absolutely fantastic stuff - I was looking at it and thinking "Why are the models primed and then green stuffed?" because all those figures I am used to being in metal. And then I realized it is Finecast.

Really, really great models - and superb sculpting.

The cavalry look so savage and dynamic. I'm not really an Ulrican, but these are great.

Well...

Standard which you can see is from Forge World Space Wolves Dreadnought and the two heards and torsos are from FW SW Conversion set.
Horses are from Vampire Counts Bloodknights. Other heads are from GW Horse Marauders Box. Hammer on chapion is from Captain of The Empire with Hammer & Pistol blister. And there is many more small parts from various sets.

...I was looking at it and thinking "Why are the models primed and then green stuffed?" because all those figures I am used to being in metal. And then I realized it is Finecast.

Indeed they are finecast and I'm really heappy they aren't metal or plastic.

I cant wait too see these painted, what colors are you considering?

I don't know yet, but I think it will be mixture of blue, gray, yellow and few others typical colours...

are you going to use the old cult of ulric list?

I think I will try. There is really good "Polish version of CoU" maybe I will go for it one day. I also would like to see refreshed rules in new GW The Empire army book.

:::cheers::: Snap!!

You are absolutely right sir! If we are talking about KotWW who bear the colour red on their banner, barding and sometimes even on the weapon hafts. But I was thinking generally about my whole mixtured army of Middenland and Ulrik. Nevermind.

Post by: Cam on February 11, 2012, 04:07:47 PM
Amazing miniatures. It's incredible how well those Blood Knight horses fit for KotWW. It certainly makes me want to pick some up for my Inner Circle KotWW, even at the ridiculous price they have reached (20$ for a single rider!). It certainly seems like you invested a lot of time/effort and money into this army. Those posts go a long way in showing the huge potential that can be unlocked with an empire army. Everyone expects the Empire to be the bland "humans" but there is just so much more to them.
Seeing your army yesterday really blew me away. I instantly showed some of your images to friends (they don't even collect empire and they loved it).
I have one question however. The model that you show after the full unit shot of your KotWW, the one on the Chaos lord horse with te werewolf-looking head, where is his head from? And what are you going to use him for (since with his calm pose he'd probably look out of place in the dynamic White Wolves). I always love seeing armies with an Ulrican feeling to them, but I must say, yours is definitely my favorite.

thanks Cam!
First answer is:click click  Puppetswar (http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=7)
or mine one: maxmini (http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=97)
Second answer is: Horsemen with direvolf head gonna be BSB! He looks different than KotWW but I wanted to look different to tell him apart from rest of unit. I don't have idea what streamer I am going to make. Empty head.  :-(

Norsemen are great I know and they fit to my Ulric idea perfectly! Today I was thinking to replace swords from whole unit and put axes from gw marauders box.  What do you think?
Title: Re: Estel's Cult of Ulric [17.02.2012] Warriors of Ulric
Post by: Cam on February 18, 2012, 07:54:05 PM
I don't really know much about collectors figures but I would be really careful with the conversion you suggested. These Norse look rare to me and once you cut off their swords, I'd assume they loose a lot of value. Thats obviously only if you consider selling them at a later point. If you don't I think axes would be great. And a lot more "historically" accurate (since only few people had the money to afford a whole sword). Axes would probably also make the unit wilder. I don't know why but for some reason, axes seem more savage to me...

dude Foundry Miniatures have the largest range of Viking/Norse style models

http://wargamesfoundry.com/historical_ranges/single_packs/ancients/viking/?sector_id=12&page=all

the quality is GW standard,

i have lots of them used in my Kislev unit in my PLOG

you should try some of the wolf / bear skin ones

Hi
I am not going to sell them... they are worth now a lot I think but I don't mind to cut their swords. i want to see whole unit with axes or swords not mixed, so I can do two things: separate exes one from swords and buy more to make nice 25-30 strong units or just convert it as i said.

We are really thinking alike...
I'm also going to get several of those boxes (I'm a space wolf player in 40K, so that means even more boxes haha) and use the unridden wolves as unit fillers. And those thunderwolves will be the mount for my KotWW. I will count them as demigryph riders once the new empire book is out...
Amazing times for Ulric players. Now all we need is some Ulric love in the new empire book...

if the wolves crown the normal cav base, 25 x 50, then put two of them on a 50 x 50 base, you will gain a little bit of wiggle room that way, paint them before putting them on the base, them insides are hard to get to.  steveb

Excellent!

Could we have the list of bits used?
- Body of the wolves?
- head of the wolves?
- body of the knights?
- head of the knights?

Any greenstuff? Was it difficult?

I a thinking to use the body of standard Empire knights + the thunder wolf cavalry but not sure if they would fit.... Don't feel like buying a box of choccobo just for the riders...

Hi everyone and thanks for positive comments. I'm glad you like them!

Excellent work!  :::cheers::: I don't see any cyborg legs/ eyes on those wolves, and I also do not see nay greenstuff, how did you do it?

I bought wolves separately and there was no cyber legs  so I don't know what that box contains. I think it must be an option to create no cyber wolves ;)

Estel, spill the goods. I wanted to make something like this as soon as I read the Demigryph entry. What did you do to create these awsome models?  :::cheers:::
)

Thunder wolves cavalry wolves
Demigryph knights
heads are from one of the Space Wolves sets but I had to make all heads with different mohawk so I convertetd little bit . But  I think any empire head will be ok for that.
These demiwolves are still WIP so there is a lot of work ahead of me.  ::heretic::

Whole wolf body is from GW thunderwolves set
Knight's body is from GW demigryph set]
Heads are form different  GW spave wolves plastic sets but any "empire" ghead should be ok..

Empire knights should be good for your idea and fit to wolves.

There is no greenstuff work yet but it will be. These cawalry is "early wip"

That is a mighty army Estel

I really enjoy you work so far with the demiwolves of Ulric. Do you plan to paint them Red like the Knights of the White Wolf, or just blue/white based?. I am thinking on the rider.

Come to think of it:
Buy one box of Fenrisian Wolf Pack and Empire Pistoliers and you can make 5 model for you army.
Same price as a box with 3 Empire Demigryph Knights. Just here you get more models.

what a ugly face  :-o :-)
yes because I'm dreaming about 40 TG strong unit. But I think it will be 34TG 4 slots unit filler and 2 empty slots for characters ;)
Do you think 6 slots unit filler is too big?  :laugh:

That is a mighty army Estel

I really enjoy you work so far with the demiwolves of Ulric. Do you plan to paint them Red like the Knights of the White Wolf, or just blue/white based?. I am thinking on the rider.

Come to think of it:
Buy one box of Fenrisian Wolf Pack and Empire Pistoliers and you can make 5 model for you army.
Same price as a box with 3 Empire Demigryph Knights. Just here you get more models.

I'm not sure about colour scheme yet. Any sugestions?


I think that I would paint the Fenrisian Wolf Pack white, with a little grey on the top of the pelt, so they really look like a knights on a white wolf

Also I would consider adding a wolf pelt as a cloak for the knights.

It's the thing to contemplate about.

Another thing:

What should I choose to create new IC Knights of Ulric:

more converting

or:

(http://chaosorc.com/images/Chaos%20Knights%20of%20Chaos%20Boxed%20Set.jpg)
less converting

what do ya think?

If you do have acces to those old knights then I'd say go with them, you'd get very unique knights. I've seen quite a lot of conversions using the new (bit too big for empire for my tastes..) knights, but not a single one using those old ones.

Plus hey, they are rocking darn cool capes!

indeed they got more details I don't want ;) I mean all these chaos marks etc.
I will think aboiut it. Plastic ones are bulky and I know it will cost me a lot of time and finger cuts to finish them nicely.
Either way I can do 2 units and use both variety :D
Thanks for help if you have any more ideas please feel free to post it here :D

I can't remember who, but someone (I think on this forum) used the chaos knights and filed off the chaos marks and filled the models in with green stuff to fill in the gaps

The old knights come with heads and bodies in one piece. If you have a dremel or similar tool you can remove them, otherwise I think it's going to be hard. Looks nice though. I made my IC that way, check it out if you're interested: http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=26293.msg705116#msg705116

I decided to buy new plastic chaos knights and more vc blood knights to enlarge current unit of KotWW

I have heard rumours about new chaos warriors and I'm going to wait for it. I hope to see a lots of new miniatures which will fit to Ulric's climat. But I have enough thing to finish about my current projects... So hopefully I will be able to show you something this week. ;) Fingers crossed ;)

I would be surprised to see new Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights. The Knights were just updated with the last army book and the Chaos Warriors really aren't in need of an update in my opinion. The Marauders on foot on the other hand are in need of an update. Those along with some of the other monstrous things like Chaos Ogres, Dragon Ogres, and the two or three new kits they will come out with are likely to be what gets updated.
