WolfLordLars Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Since I am redoing my special weapon models (putting most of my metal models in Wolf Guard), I figured I might as well find a way to give them Wolf Totems. I was thinking of the backpack banner pole that comes with the wolves. I hate back banners (though my Long Fang Pack Leader has one.. old guys are set in their ways), so I have a bunch laying around. I was thinking, a simple magnet in the bottom of the pole and in the top of the backpack means I could just attach it whenever I want to give one to the pack. Can/should I put it on the power weapon GH? He will be the last in the pack to die in most situations (against a walker, it will be the PF). To model it, I figured the pole with some wolf tails attached to the ends, kinda like a mongol banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfLordLars Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Well, here is my problem. I also have that model, but was intending to use it for the GC Standard, not a Wolf Standard. While important, I figured the nice big grand batter should be the company one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 What is the use of them anyway? I've always wanted one but never seen a great enough benefit to it. Especially in the new rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfLordLars Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 +1 to combat resolution, unless they change the rules for a sacred standard in the C:SM. I tend to draw combat alot... so it makes the difference between a drawn combat (where they can get more folks involved in the turns between) and winning (where they might break and run, and we would get to counter-charge anyone he can get into contact).

Max_Dammit Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I used a small banner/flag tipe of thing and only painted the veteran GH logo on so its clearly a totem and not the GCB, Creating a GCB i would have no idea how id do that.

Dark Bjoern Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Creating a GCB i would have no idea how id do that. Hmmm, I have a detailed idea what mine will look like when i´m finished with it....... Banner of the Great Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Personally I don't bother with the Wolf Totems. My Great Company standard actually is a large wolf pelt hanging from a Grey Hunter Standard Bearer model. Ya know the one with the Power Fist holding the banner pole. I have the bare underside of the pelt facing forward and painted the Great Company symbol onto that as well as a few other icons. Came out great.

Wolf89 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wow dark B. I love that picture, it's just epic. ;) The terminator shoulder pads are most impressive, just like that one guy's PH terminators with Leman Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCarter Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 For wolf totems, I use the grey-hunter PF model with various trophies hung from a cross bar and a small banner with the colors of the pack and some battle awards. For the Great Company, I use the SM HQ banner filled with battle awards for various actions in which the company participated as a company.

Bran Scalphunter Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Duuude... are those your mini's? :) If so, would you make my Wolves for me, cuz those ones are Zoggin' EPIC! Not just epic, but all capitalized letters EPIC! :) So pretty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Is it just me Lars, or are those converted from Grey Knight Termis? They certainly have the heads of them.... and alot of greenstuff eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No those look plastic. Its not too hard to cut a plastic Terminator head down to have the knight look of the Grey Knight and Pre-Heresy versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
