FallenAngels123 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 looking really good so far :( keep it up, cant wait to see it withg some paint on it :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think the wolf looks more like a Lion personally. But maybe it just needs a nice black, white, or grey coat of paint to give it that Canine vibe? Good Luck Fellow!

the great beaver Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 that sir...is a lion :unsure: perhaps you can cut off the heads and replace them with wolf heads? it looks great and I wouldn't cheese you for using it but it doesn't look like a wolf to me.

Lavaman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes, still very much a lion... I can't buy into the whole marines riding animals thing, it's all a bit silly IMO. Infact, while i'm on a rant all the new space wolves look a bit silly in my book... Be a break from the norm painting this thing though and i wish you well :unsure: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iago Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 This is not about the SW codex unit options. Personally I think that the Lion makes a good template for the wolf. The added GS and the different tail make it work. Cant wait to see it painted.

Kylis Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Looks good, but don't Thunder wolves have larger base? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen-maul Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 i Was going to use a Wolf head but it isnt a good scale and looks silly...was trying to make it look similiar to a warg from lord of the rings .....also it will be going on the bigger base once im done with the green stuff. going to do more work around the head try to blend the Lion mane into the face hoping to get a pug faced warg outa it... Thanks for all the feed back.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuraiOrk Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Looking good so far, though I think if you were to extend the snout a little more it would make it look more "wolfish". Keep up the good work! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayden Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Doesn't look that bad, good idea to use the lion as a base model and fill it out with GS. Good paint job will finish the model Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Brother Loken Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 that sir...is a lion ;) perhaps you can cut off the heads and replace them with wolf heads? it looks great and I wouldn't cheese you for using it but it doesn't look like a wolf to me. Never seen the cover of Prospero Burns i take it then as this is the same model as the cover of that book Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2120954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 hey wow it is just like the cover art, looking good, if i might ask where did you get the model? as i was looking for ones to make my own conversions (cause with my luck the new thunder Wolves will be metal...)

CDR Grendelwulf Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 or...they could be called.... ThunderCats... I am sensing the urge for a new DIY army to use with C:SW ... :D I too would like to know the source for the model; it seems to fit rather nicely.

Commander Sha'son Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 See? it fits nicely. Wolf Claws can be Tiger Claws. All kinds of Cat themed goodness. I think Chapter Master Lion-O (Grimnar) will have to be made now. Tigra will be a Wolf Priest; Panthro will be an Arjac Rockfist standin. OK off to the think tank...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The pics of the big wolves in the new codex did have faces more canine than lupine. And the thunderwolf mount of the new Canis Wolfborn figure also doesn't look very 'wolfy' in the face. I think with a good amount of green stuff, it would look a lot like the art from the codex.

Far as I know, the only Thunderwolf model will be the above mentioned Canis Wolfborn. I heard that the model could be converted to a standard Thunderwolf model. Too bad, because the wolf model looks terrible (IMHO of course) It looks to puggy. I envision those things looking really lanky, and mean as all hell. A dynamic pose wouldn't hurt either. I do really like the wolf claws that Canis is armed with though. 2 cents deposited!

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I couldn't bring myself to have a space marines riding a wolf so... http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P9110032.jpg The new codex states that Canis' wolf is the largest and the fluff picture under the Thunderwolf entry shows a space wolf riding a wolf the size of the Lion of Chrace. The faces of the Lions is almost identical to Freki and Geri as shown on the cover of Prospero Burns too http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/ProsperoBurns.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179199-thunder-wolf-conversion/#findComment-2121511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 all that means is that there are two people who seem incapable of telling the difference between a lion and a wolf.
