Some new Space Wolves for my Army!

[TeamLando]

Right! Another part of my pledge for the great hunt is done, as I give you, two Wulfen!

These guys has been lying around for a while, dunno why I've waited so long to paint them, I love them :pinch:

The chaos armor bits are awesome for some alterations, and they're hair's just great to paint! I actually have 9 of these, three of the one with the gun, and two of the running guy with the arm. Since I don't like "more of the same" regiments, I decided to convert them a little, for instance, I cut an arm from one, and put it on someone else (making him more wulfen-like) and then I put some other arm on the guy I cut it from, making him look less like his sculpt-brothers! It's very handy. Since I got the bestigor set some weeks ago, I'm gonna make some own wulfen too, and that'll be cool I think. But these are of the classic sculpts, and I must say, they're awesome. Why didn't GW make more of these? T__T

Wulf-brother Ossi! He's the ripping a head of a daemonette-sculpt! Too bad I just got one of these ;_;

I like how his hair turned out.

...

Is it even possible to rip a head of a daemonette and keep it, don't they return to the warp when killed?

Then again.. he might be INSIDE the warp so I guess it counts ;)

This is the first of the converted ones, his left arm was sawed off (using it for a home made wulfen in my last diorama) and I added a modifeid classic Saurus Warrior arm and a Space Marine hand and power weapon to make it look better. The PW won't have any game-effect though, of course. I dented it and cut the power wire to indicate that it's not working as it should be and that it's probably just used like a club/mace-like weapon at the moment. And oh yeah, that Runestone, tooths and wolfpendant on his right arm and pack was made with Green Stuff, I've come up with a good technique for making these that I find very easy, might make a Tutorial about it later.

My next wulfen will probabaly have a broken power fist, for the same reason(cool, but no real point, but I got many powers fists :P) xD

[TeamLando]

Btw, just want to check a thing with you guys.. I know that the Wulfen and 13th company use chaos bits for their armour, but do you think it would be possible, fluff-wise, for them to have, for example an ultramarine or, say, iron warrior shoulder pad for instance? I'm thinking if they picekd it up as scraps during some of the out of the eye-encounters... they'd prefer imperial ki over chaos I reckon.

 

Getting a bit tired of the chaos bits y'see, was thinking of doing something with some regular space marine armor.. but I dunno if it's possble for them to have a chance at any of those bits :lol:

[Warhorse47]

I really like that idea for the shoulder pads or other armor bits. It would add a lot of character to an already unique look.

[TeamLando]

SO you'd say it's possblie and woulnd't be too fluff breaking? :lol: Because I knoww that it would be awesome, I'm just afraid it's fluff breaking. Like.. 13th company keeping the chaos marks on their armor, for exmaple.

 

As the wulfen above, I'äve got leg pieces from chaos legions, but the shoulder pads are scratched to removed the logos. They probabaly wouldn't do that to the emperoro's own legion, though? A part maybe, from the DA xD

[Warhorse47]

I think they would remove ANY chaos markings or the sigils of other, traitor legions. However, the older decorative bits would stay. And of course, if they found an Ultra shoulder pad [or even a DA] I can see them swapping it immediately for a chaos one.

[Brother Tuditanus]

The actual fluff states they use scavenged armor, even if Chaos... So using smurf and such EQ is possible...

 

Lando, if you're doing 13th Co., do you know what they were like during the Horus Heresy? Were they still Wulfen ridden, or did the exposure to the warp cause that?

[TeamLando]

I was more thinking, possible in a "could there be any smurfs in the warp or where the 13th moves" kinda of way ^_^

And yeah, the 13th, if I remember it corectly were more wolf-bitten than the others, however, the being in the eye o terror released the wulfen in many that wouldn't have got lost if they'd been outside. So it's boh, I guess? ;)

[TeamLando]

Right! Time for some updates, been a while since I held onto the old pledge.. and now when the new models is just around the corner, I though to myself "Time to finish some of that old stuff for realz!".

So, I started with the natural thing, the most imporant thing, the very PIECE I couldn't be without when 5th edition SW Codex hits Fenris in a drop pod of doom.

The Leman Russ Tank!

Oh wait.. what, they remved that one? Gah! xD

Well anyway. No it's done anyway, and I'm pretty please with how this old, two times cleaned with alcohole, plastic thing tunred out in the end. I like the lightnings bolts on the bolter, and the runes and viking icons painted on the hull. Turned out ok.

And I guess my Imperial Guard-playing friend will be happy to have it too ... that basatrd xD

Woo. Next up, just a simpel scout, I needed another Melta gun. He's not prt of any pledge, but cool nonetheless.

I like these guys.. the feel like small space marines when you paint them :P

And last, the main show, two more bikes! I've done some converting on these, using among other things horns fropm the bestigor kit, a genestealer head, some green stuff, and shields from the bestigor set. They're not done yet, ofc, but believe me, they'll rock when they are ;D Sorry for the flash, but it was a dark room :/

And here's a bonus, two Wolf Guards to-be, just started with the green stuff/converting. SOme wolf tails and skulls first,a dn then the bif details. Based on the tyranid hunters, sculpted by Juan Diaz. I really like the both of them, a lot of battle damage etc.

[TeamLando]

Btw.. sine I'm not too keen to totally give away my Leman Russ, now when it's done and everything, anyone got and tips what I could use it as instead of a leman? Any tank that looks like it and got similiar weaponry, for instance... I'm not very much of a tank player, I'm more of a drop pod kinda of guy (and I can't use the leman as a drop pod, so xD) .. so I don't really know much about the different SM tanks :/

 

Help with this would be appreciated.

My Friend this is some more beautiful stuff from You! as for the LR, Obviously in Apocalypse you can use it, you can use it as a counts as, and if you play against any friends see if any would let you use it. I would, then again I'm a fellow wolfbrother :D

[Warhorse47]

I'm saving my Leman Russ' for apoc games and building a SW PDF to use em. I will give yours a good home if your IG buddy can't accept him in his stable! :D

[Beef]

As always I love your paint skemes. Not sure about the horns or the blades sticking out the sides on the bikes though

[Grey Mage]

Lando, if you're doing 13th Co., do you know what they were like during the Horus Heresy? Were they still Wulfen ridden, or did the exposure to the warp cause that?

Suposedly every member of the 13nth co besides some of the command cadre had the mark of the Wulfen. Some where farther along than others, some had even arrested it entirely.

Thanks :P Actually, I've seen a lot of cool Space Wolves Conversions lately, using Chaos Bikes and Ork Bikes and whatnot, so I just though I'd give it a shot myself, try to make something original. The basic idea was to make them more feral, more deadly. So the blades came from your average iller bik thing, just another weapon, kinda.

The horns however, I actually researched some for xD I wanted something special, and something kill-count-ish on the front of the bike. So I went for some Viking Ship picture looking and found that almost every thip had some beast of some sort at the front, often with horns of some sort. Dragons, and the like. And well, Fenris's got some dragons too! Woo!

Since a whole dragon's head would be kinda too much at the top, I just stuck with the horn bit, thinking it's from a Fenrisian Sea Dragon that the bike owner has killed :)

 

Maybe it's a bit cooler if you look at it that way? ;D Anyhow, thanks for the input! I'll try to make it more obvious next time :)

 

 

As for the Leman Russ, thanks for the tips guys. My Imperial Guard-friends is however more than happy to take an extra Leman Russ, so I'll let him borrow it until I play my next Apo game :P

[TeamLando]

Brothers! Brothers! My vow is complete, with this bike (s!) the reason for them being two is of course to atone for my lack of GD 03 WOlf Priest goodness, but that model deserves the care and time that I do not have at the moment. :P

I posted the same post up in the Great Hunt thread, but anyways, here they are, as shown previously in this thread as WIPS.

Pretty cool huh? I really like the design with horns and stuff on the bikes, they became more feral. Gotta love the maruader heads aswell!

And with that, add my name to the tome, and I myself shall wear the wolf skull medal with honour.

[Florida Gator]

now those... are beautiful my friend. nice job finishing your vow just in time :ph34r:

[TeamLando]

Thanks brother, yeah guess it got kinda hectic in the end, stuides and other things has been killing me lately. Dunno if I'll hade that much time to actually paint the new wolves barking at the door, but, we'll see <_<
