Rune Priest in Mk.V power armour, painted and varnished

One of my favourite things about Space Wolves' visual style is how rough and functional pieces of armour and torn pelts are combined with ostentatious decorations. This model represents the cruder end of this spectrum. The psychic hood was intentionally sculpted to look unadorned and functional, and the most striking decorative element on his armour consists of very angular runes.

 I didn't notice the similarity in position to Forgeworld's Sigismund model until after it was already painted. I didn't knowingly imitate the pose, but it's very possible I subconsciously took influence from it.

I like to imagine he has had his nose broken in the past and the piece of metal was originally sort of a splint to help it heal, but he chose to leave it there to work as an additional noseguard. Space Wolves don't like wearing helmets in general, and the Mk.V armour might be more quirky than most when it comes to battle helmets used together with psychic hoods, so connecting extra protection directly to his skull would make sense.
