transorD Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've recently completed assembling and base coating my shiny new Vindicator. I'm hosting a tournament for a few of my friends in November and decided it was time to add a little more punch to my roster. However, I find myself somewhat dry on ideas about how to wolf up my new tank. So this is a call for ideas, suggestions, and maybe even examples of some really Wolfy looking Vindicators. Thanks in advance for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Slap a wolf pelt on each door on the sides, paint a Giant and I mean GIANT rune on the siege shield, then drape a wolf pelt on the gun barrel. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Something I am going to try (and I wish I could remember who put me onto this idea) a small chain with maybe some drybrushed rust on it with wolf tails dangling on the front armor. I found a chain that should be small enough at Hobby Lobby today for pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea this is a good idea as well, and usually Walmart or Target has cheap chains in their jewelry section. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Emperor Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I stick Wolf Tails, that Wolfhead shield thingo and draw massive rune words. And I give my Vindies and armoured vehicle names (I know creepy but I got like 3 Vindies and a few Predator). Name such as Fenris's Metal or Pride (I know lame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfLordLars Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I never cared for the wolf pelts on tanks.. though the plaques and such do work well. Runes are important, look up their use to make sure you are putting proper protection runes on them. Naming your vehicles is also a must. Before I named it, my Vindicator was next to useless. Now, "Hellbringer" earns 1-2X its points back every game its fielded. "Hammer of Russ" (My LRE) does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transorD Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Great ideas, guys, thanks for the speedy replies. I think I've myself an answer, and I hope to be able to post some photos sometimes next week. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Add some GS wolf furs and wolf tooth necklaces. For a heavy support vehicle Long Fang markings are also ok. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/Predator1rightside.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/Predator1front.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/Bild017.jpg Or you cut out the symbol of your GC and place it on your tank. This Rhino has gotten a converted dozer blade from a Vindicator http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BloodClawRhino1left.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BloodClawRhino1Front.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well if it helps any the Rune that looks like a V turned on its side is the Rune for Fire, and knowledge. "Kenaz" where "to ken" comes from. The one that looks like an H is "Hagalaz" and means literally Hail IIRC, and is often used for destruction. The one thats kinda like an N without the upward stroke is "Uruz" and means Aurach, or strength.... think "Strong like bull". I like using runes sparingly, but appropriately, on my models. And Dark Bjoern... those a frickin amazing man. I wish I could paint half that good really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
