Heimdal Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Celtic, eh? Not a fan of the shield blinders, but the halberd does look like a power weapon... Scibor is well known to sculpt GW stuff, but he name the sculpts to something else so he wont get the lawyers after him for copyright infringement.

Crimson Devil Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Magnetic Freak, They were called "Space Thunder, Monstrous Riding Wolf, of Wolves". They are made in Russia and purchased on ebay.

Athalus Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 In response to that juggy wolf, here are some that were recently made by PLeasuredome that I really liked. They use the contemporary juggernaut models and have inspired me to do the same for my 13th co. T-wolves: http://www.figuraobscura.com/sw/twcwip.jpg You can see some tourney pics and the like on this thread Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179343-how-to-convert-thunderwolves/page/8/#findComment-2261586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however have one big problem with using juggers as my Thunderwolves: They're damn expensive too!

Prophecy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yeah, I have a new jugger that I'm working on. I dremeled off the khorny symbols last night. Any suggestions for the tail?

I do however have one big problem with using juggers as my Thunderwolves: They're damn expensive too! Yeah, but 20 bucks less than Canis =) (or abouts). I see them as a useful model for 13th co., because they have no qualms about using chaos tech (stuck in the warp will do that) and making their own. I think if we get a TWC model it will be about the same price as the juggies - same size and whatnot.

MagneticFreak Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hmmm, I am affraid I dont like the mouth, it looks "too open" for my tastes. Perhaps could you use the Standard GW Goblin wolf heads with the Lion body? Just a suggestion!

Godhead Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 could be just me, but the smooth hindquarters seems out of place with the crazy fluffy mane and the busy tail. The model overall looks good. GS work looks great, but I think the empty area could use some GS work even if only a light coating of fur.

Beef Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 just GS the rest of the model, it will add bulk to it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179343-how-to-convert-thunderwolves/page/8/#findComment-2262267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chodjinn Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Right, my russian ebay wolves arrive over the weekend. They look freakin' awesome, only thing is they have 1 pose, so I'm thinking of repositioning two of them slightly with GS. My other wolf (also from ebay) hasn't turned up yet. I already did the basic conversion for my Wolf Lord TWM tonight, shame I've already lost one set of legs tho . . . :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179343-how-to-convert-thunderwolves/page/8/#findComment-2262413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusthetraitor Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'll be using a pack of hunting hounds with the huntsmen in tow. They'll be a mix of the plastic Goblin wolves and Dire Wolves as the exposed bone is perfect to show that most of them are bio-mech monstrosities. Some will have 2 heads aswell. In order for the Marines to keep up with their charges they will wear jump packs (I've finally found a use for those sucky Skyclaws) and be armed with what the actual Marine is equipped with. Something like this? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxjUg4AnZnw/S2D5aBAgSiI/AAAAAAAAAU8/g1YKCywTrcU/s1600/DSCN3113.JPG Its a concept piece, but I like it so far.

No repost yet of the store sell of them. A shame I would have liked to order some within the month. Anyone know the link let me know.
