Megalodon Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the comments, I appreciate the feedback! I am a little uncertain as to what to include in this new SW force. I know for a fact that I will have 2 full strength GH packs, a full strength BS pack and a Long fang pack as the ground work for the army. I have a ton of NIB models to draw from to make this Wolf army including the following: 4 boxes of Grey Hunters 2 boxes of Tac Marines 1 SM command squad 2 boxes of Assault Marines 3 boxes of Blood Claws 2 boxes of Terminators 2 Boxes of the old hybrid Devastators. 4 blisters of Heavy Bolters 2 Dreadnoughts 3 Predators 1 Whirlwind 1 Landraider 1 LR crusader 4 Attack Bikes 20 SM bikes 4 Rhinos 2 Razorbacks 8 Landspeeders So there is lots of potential in that lot. If I use it all for this army I'll be converting and painting forever!

Tyrannicide Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That is quite a bit. I'm looking forward to the next update on the Wolf Guard! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144614-the-wolf-time-is-approaching/page/3/#findComment-1976097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikunosuke Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 If I use it all for this army I'll be converting and painting forever! I could not wish for anything more. The Wolf Guard just gets better & better, Megalodon. Is there going to be a whole squad of these fully converted Wolf Guards?

Megalodon Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Wolf Guard just gets better & better, Megalodon. Is there going to be a whole squad of these fully converted Wolf Guards? Thanks a lot! This Wolf Guard will be a Grey Hunter Pack Leader, but yes there will be whole squad of them eventually. I'm just not sure If I will do much on them before the new Codex comes out, since we have no idea what options there will be. The WG Pack leader for my BC's is gonna wear mark 3 armor he will be armed with a powerfist and storm shield, cause I think it would look awesome!

Indeedy-do, though I think a lightning-claw would suit the imagery better. I'm looking forward to see it.

Megalodon Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Here is the more or less completed WG. He needs a little clean up on some of the GS. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW008.jpg I didn't notice the mag on the combi weapon was messed up until it was pinned and glued. So I tried making a Drum mag, I'm not completely happy with it. I may change it to a hanging belt of ammo instead. He turned out much taller than I expected almost a head taller than a normal Marine mini. Part of this comes from the fact he is actually standing up, the other part comes from using the Khorne Zerker legs which are a little taller and mor bulky than normal marine legs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW004.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144614-the-wolf-time-is-approaching/page/3/#findComment-1978207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfoe Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Really nice. I particularly like the model's snarl with the beard and mustache. You just don't see that level of detail on a stock mini. Great stuff. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144614-the-wolf-time-is-approaching/page/3/#findComment-1978218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Great GS work and conversion. But the ammo drum of the bolter does not look like it is actually part of the weapon.

Tyrannicide Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He looks awesome and I really like that wolf tooth necklace addition. I like the idea of including the drum magazine, but it doesn't seem to fit on this model for some reason. I think he would be better off with a belt of ammo instead, like you suggested earlier.

Megalodon Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I appreciate the feedback! Kikunosuke, I'm just on a roll right now! Here is the first converted Long Fang. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW009.jpg I like the way he turned out; the conversion gave him some height and more importantly a neck!

Grimfoe Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Very nice. I had thought you'd use that missile launcher pose with the lower body that had one foot up on a rock. This looks very nice though.

Megalodon Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 That Long Fang will be carrying the Lascannon! I've decided to arm these guys like the original 2nd ed box; 2 ML's, 1 HB and 1 LC.

Megalodon Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Small, short update. I've decided to use 3d GC badges. I'm gonna sculpt one then make a green stuff impression mold so I don't have to sculpt each icon. Ive chosen to use the Night Runner badge. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/nighthunter.png Here is the pad with the the moon in place; when this is dry I'll begin sculpting the Wolfs head. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/001-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144614-the-wolf-time-is-approaching/page/3/#findComment-1981845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like transfers and I decided I wanted to free hand all the great company badges, army badges, etc. To keep it more simple, I patterned the wolf head after the old Rogue Trader space wolf transfer. The end result is something I'm very happy with. It has a more sophisticated, streamlined look while being somewhat tribal and appearing to be hand painted by each company member. I think it would look even better if it was sculpted. Think about it.

kapturowski Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Excellent Long Fang conversions! Maybe I should cut up my old minis and steal your idea? Too bad I probably never would field them cause they look real cool.

Megalodon Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Sorry for the lack 'O updates, I've been working on my FOW Germans for an upcoming tournament. Anyway I'm back working on my wolves. I've assembled all 5 Fangs now, I still need to finish the GS work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW011.jpg I started working on my Ven Dread. He is still very WIP. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/Wolves/SW010.jpg Inspired by Ion Raptors T-sons dread.

Messanger of Death Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The Long Fangs look nice, although 3 top knots seem a bit much for one squad (unless it is something to do with Long Fang background). Looking forward to see what else you come up with them. The venerable dreadnought looks great...I'm particularly fond of that look. What did you use for the body part of the sarcophagus. It looks like the back part of a marine torso, but not sure from where. Could we get a different angle on the dreadnought as well...want to see how far forward the sarcophagus is.
