conversion. I posted some WIP shots a while back, but I've since completed him. Here he is in all his glory:
I really, really dislike the official GW model for Logan, and when I started this model it was only in metal. Finecast wasn't even a rumor yet. I didn't want to try and kit-bash a metal model, so I decided to make my own. I used some arms, legs, a torso, and a head from the Space Wolves Terminator 
box, but I sculpted his bear from green stuff
. I used the fur cape from the Chaos Terminator Lord
box, and added a wolf pelt from my bitz box to the top. I then sculpted the arms of the pelt by hand as well.

I wanted Logan's Axe, Morkai, to be special, and stand out on the table. I used 2 Chaos Power Axe blades, which fit the fluff about the weapon nicely, and attached them to a Power Weapon arm from the SW Termies. The double-headed wolf icon is cut from plasticard, and appears on both sides.
I decided to paint the Power Weapon effect in green, since my Space Wolves Army has no other green in it. This makes the Axe Morkai, and Logan, really stand out when I field him. I am really pleased with the Power Weapon effect, as well as the free-handed shoulder pad icon. All my other Space Wolves feature Ragnar Blackmane's iconography (except for Arjac Thunderfist), but Logan deserves his own pack marking on his shoulder! I think it is officially supposed to be white, but I painted in in Chainmail, so it would look a little cooler. You might have noticed the Hormagaunt
in Logan's left hand:

I use Tyranids as details for several of my Space Wolves HQs and Special Characters. I like the flavor it adds, and it is another awesome detail that helps powerful units stand out. Logan is grasping this 'guant in his fist, which was an interesting modelling challenge. I ended up using my Dremel Stylus
to drill out holes for the fingers of Logan fist to fit into, then sculpted some "guts" oozing out, to add to the effect. I also added the wrist-mounted Storm Bolter, which Logan Appears with in some illustrations.

A bit of bark to make the model taller, and some snow to finish the scenic effect, and he was complete! I'm really happy with how he turned out, and I love having a unique model for this character. He's always a conversation starter in games, too.
As always, thanks for reading! Comments always welcome!
Awesome work bud!
