WG Vrox Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Have to Thank you Corver, I went to a LGS and talked the manager into letting me take the space wolf box home with the promise I would paint them and bring them back in a week. After I am done with them he will display them until Oct 3rd at which time I have the option of buying them back at retail. So I bring to your table a huge frosty ale for the idea and head to my hobby table to start doing what we do. Will post some pictures when I get some stuff together. WG Vrox.

Corver Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 No problem Vrox, Congrats. The race is on! :blink: My plan was thus. I brought my entire SW army to display in the store as a teaser. after setting them all up I bugged the store owner to open the new boxes from GW thursday night until i found what i was looking for. Then i mentioned that i could paint them up and add them to the display. Who else is he going to get to paint them? It also helped that i had just got him 24 bottles of grolsch for the store fridge! (we can drink in the gaming room) So he gave me the sprues, we never discussed if i get to keep them later but with all the extra sprue bits who cares! I'm already putting a sample scout and long fang together and he'll still get his 10 marines. Also did you notice that there are 12 torso's in the box? Thats good news because i have the crappy maccarage marines who's legs will be amputated and wolfyfied and then new torsos stuck on.

WG Vrox Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 yes, I did notice. What a bunch of beautiful pieces. No melta guns though, but two plasma guns. Strange eh, opposite of the problem we had with the old sprues. Have a morning meeting and a tournement Saturday afternoon. so wont be able to really hit it until tomorrow night. I see no problem coming up with some really cool poses though.. cheers WG Vrox.

Forseti Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Damn those look nice, can't wait to seem them with some colour. Seems a lot of people are getting their hands on borrowed codex this week, kinda tempted to post a list and ask someone to fill in the point costs lol..

chaplain mortis Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 lovely stuff so far! man those sprues are filled to bursting quick question...on the sprue pic with the plasma gun..the studded helmet right next to the plasma gun (under the mk 6)....is that a mk 5 heresy pattern helmet?????? also in your own opinion...how many of the bare heads would you class to usable for blood claws..i:e the "younger" looking ones lol cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178271-painting-challange-10-new-plastic-sw-in-2-weeks/page/2/#findComment-2108726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corver Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Mortis, I'd say 9 BC heads, but there are some 1/2 mohawks in there that look to me like something from necromunda. I guess the young 'uns dont know better! No that studded helmet is mk 8 just with studs. Also there are 1 BC, 1 GH, 1LF and 1 ragnar wolf shoulder pad per sprue. So find those people who buy the sprue but dont play SW and do some swaps! Just waiting for the undercoat to dry on the first 5....

Corver Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 First one almost complete, 9 more to go. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/Corver/DSCF7078.jpg This is actually a wolf guad head, there are 3 wolf guard heads and 1 WG torso. they have a flat neck piece rather than curved. The 3rd one reminds me of the old metal LF pack leader head.

Vassakov Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Oh, not bad at all. Any chance of doing the Wolf Helm, like others I'd like to see whether it can look good and you are clearly a man for the job!

Florida Gator Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 the wolf head looks pretty good, however not as good as the old captain helm. There was a picture of a lone wolf with the helmet in the new codex. And wow... I saw that amazing sprue in person :P can't wait til october...

Corver Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 By special request and the fact i may get mobbed if i hadnt painted this one next i present: Lone wolf with wolf claws and wolf helmet and wolf talisman http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/Corver/DSCF7082.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178271-painting-challange-10-new-plastic-sw-in-2-weeks/page/2/#findComment-2109797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 @_@ They just keep getting better and better..I woulda thought no helm would be better for Lone Wolves though Going to have to make a grimnar list ontop of my usual and use a lot of wolf guard..they just look amazing. BTW how many of those wolf head helms do you get in a Wolf Pack box? I'll probably end up getting 4-5 boxes of em eventually, thinking of using them as the helm to all my skyriders XD.

Those claws are awesome, even if the helm reminds me of a wolverine as opposed to a wolf it's still a nice touch and perfect for marking HQ choices if I decide to avoid painting faces still.

Thanks, you get 2 of everything in the box. But if you find someone who wants to swap stuff you could get more i'm sure not everyone will like them.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Nice to see you dabbling in the SW arts again Corver, looks like you haven't lost your touch at all ;) Definitely looking forward to seeing your progress as you wrap up the 10 minis :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178271-painting-challange-10-new-plastic-sw-in-2-weeks/page/2/#findComment-2109982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corver Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Has anyone seen the Terminator sprues yet? they are out on the same day? I have a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox! I'll get these 10 painted up ASAP so i also get chosen to paint the Termi sprues once they arein.

Wolfpriest Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 These are looking great! I can't wait until i can get my hands on the new wolf minis. I am drooling over all the new sprues so much it looks like this wolf has rabies.

WG Vrox Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Got a real late start, but finally got started this morning. After setting up the 10 man squad and looking back at what is left of the sprue, I can see where there may be some precautions you may want to take. What is left over. 1 set of chest pieces 3 sets of shoulder pauldrens 0 legs 0 back packs lots of arms lots of bits, lots of plasma pistols Other bits of note; 2 Plamsa Guns 2 PF or 2 PW or 2 TH/SS So my suggestion is if you going to purchase Long Fangs for your army and a space marine wolf pack, plan very well or build the two together so you can intermix the standard chest pieces and power packs. Other wise you may be disapointed in how sparse your fangs end up looking. WG Vrox.

Lord Ragnarok Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The wolf's head looks much better than I thought. Somebody will be wearing that in Alarik Silvermane's Ravening Wolves.
