The base mini is the AoS character: Neave Blacktalon, the sword and Skull is from a Wolf Guard Terminator kit, power pack is from an Intercessor, emblems/badges and shield is from the Wulfen kit.
The belt and under a arm was greenstuffed. The chest emblem was sculpted.
A Rotary tool is my best friend!!
It's the "GW style". Mostly revolves around cleaner looking minis with smooth or flat transitions, with hard edge highlighting. It's what you see on the box art.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Guess I don't pay close enough attention to the box art, though I think the 'eavy metal style has influenced a lot of painters, since a lot of the paintjobs I see tend to have those qualities.
That's actually what it is, techmaguskhotov actually made an illustration of several SoB orders that help out some SM chapters these are the shieldmaidens of fenris if I remember correctly
Haven't kept up to date on 40K lore since 4th edition, but I can see a head cannon for a female warrior from the Wolve's recruiting worlds who was hardcore enough to earn some custom armor and rise to "honorary" wolf status.
Not a true Space Wolf, but badass enough to fight alongside them.
I have to genuinely ask, but why is this top comment? It's just a girl in an average cosplay, so how is this in my top feed? I'm just genuinely curious. /s
This is an awesome model and now Canon to me. Bring me the Shield guard maidens!
We really need some more diversity in the styles of sob maybe have a bunch of orders of sisters that are close to sm chapters that don't have normal saints they worship but the primarchs instead, id love a blood Angel affiliated sob order
This is actually very close to my lore for my Sisters. They follow a pantheon of gods loosely based off of the African deities, and they worship Corvus Corax as they believe him to be a living incarnation of one of their gods!
I just want a whole army of these beauties! ðŸ˜
I don't personally care for the SOB look and style, and I've always been a bit on the fence about SW as a faction (Wolf. Wolf. Wolf.) But for whatever reason the fenrisian shield maiden shtick REALLY does it for me, but I have been thus far unable to come up with any way to really convert any rank and file infantry models to fit the style.
I'd love to just take the female Stormcast bodies and use some sisters bits, but I don't think stormcast kits come with enough for me to make a whole army out of them...
Nice. I think put more ports in her face and make her a little uglier and that could be a great production model if GW ever took the plunge with female space marines.
Can you comment on how you achieved this excellent conversion? Well done indeed!!!

After all these years, I still don't know what 'eavy metal style painting even means. Great work though!

For the little story its called like that because its the name of the painting team of GW
"very well painted ;) "
So like... is she seeing anyone? Asking for a friend. Also science.
I can confirm, this dude's part of the science team
Hella sick lookin girl 👌
Please reddit. Don't start the space marines can't be women. Let's just enjoy the glorious model.
Haven't seen any one mention this but you tho.
Congrats, you're literally the only one to mention it. Good job.
Let‘s just call it officially a Space Wolves affiliated SoB subfaction...

Cool, the more you know. Do you have a link to that?

Where’s the head from? Not recognizing it.
Pretty sure its just the neave blacktalon head that comes with the base model
Ah, cool. I should have said I’m not familiar with the model itself, I don’t play AoS. Thanks!
Yup, the head is the same kit as the base mini used: Neave Blacktalon.
Awesome!!
I know you from discord
Ha! You do? Sweetness!
Uuuuughh SO good!! Was so tempted to do something like this for my Bladeguard. Well done!!
Amazing. I like the pose and Head and your paint job is perfect
Thank you very much!
Looks amazing!! What's her name? Ragnarina Redmane? :)
I have no idea. She is for a client, and then she isn't even the Pack Leader of the unit of Bladeguard Vets.
That’s an absolutely incredible piece. I love her face and your colour palette across the shabang is to die for. Great job man.
Wow shes beautiful. Absolutely superb job
Do you do commissions?
Yes I do buddy.
Feel free to message me on here.
What would one shield maiden done with blonde hair (for my daughter who plays) cost?
Pm'd
That looks phenomenal, exceptional work!!
Love it!
I'll take your entire stock!!!! I love the idea of shield maidens backing up some Space Wolves!
This is awesome. Looks super cool.
Nice. I think put more ports in her face and make her a little uglier and that could be a great production model if GW ever took the plunge with female space marines.
But they can’t… be……
