maznaz Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi there, While I'm waiting for the new plastics to arrive, I've been thinking about how to equip them, in particular the wolf guard. When I read that we were getting different rules for wolf claws, I was kind of hoping for something different than the standard knuckle-duster lightning claws, and was pretty disappointed when I saw that's what we got. So anyway, as I've got some bits and I am dying of anticipation I thought I'd see if I can mock something up a little closer to my idea of a wolf claw: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7092/clawbe.jpg Now I'm quite happy with this style for power armour, but I've got no idea if it'll work out okay with the terminator parts. Can someone who has access to the sprue give me an idea if this is possible for left and right hands wihout completely resculpting the glove? Secondly, I'm a bit miffed that there aren't enough power weapons to equip a squad of terminator wolf guard in the box, and since most of the close combat weapons are right handed it's not going to be as simple as cutting off a weapon and sticking on a sword if you want to use a stormbolter too. Hence, I came up with this: http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9095/powerb.jpg Will this work on the terminator power fists? Would it be "fluffy" to represent a power weapon or is it a bit over the top? Let me know your thoughts please.

rahl02 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think the lightning claw looks pretty good. The power weapon on a power fist doesn't looks all that great to me, I'd probably say that would end up "counts as" a lightning claw as well. What I'd probably end up doing is chopping off the SB from the terminator arm and attaching a hand from a PA model with a Power Sword. Might take a little work and some Green Stuff though.

Hengist Ironfang Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 just out of curiosity what part are you using for the "fingers" on the wolf claw?

maznaz Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I pretty much agree that the power weapon isn't really suitable, so I'll wait until I have the codex before I decide how essential it is to have an alternative power weapon loudout for them. The claws are spikes off the Kroot carnivore guns. I have enough to make at least 4 pairs and maybe more from one carnivore box that I've had sitting there doing nothing for ages.

Yeti Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Agree with what was previously posted. The Wolf Claws look really good, not so hot in the pseudo power weapon. As a suggestion, it'd probably be easier to take the T-Hammer arms and replace the T-Hammer with something else (sword, axe ... whatever). The claws are spikes off the Kroot carnivore guns. I have enough to make at least 4 pairs and maybe more from one carnivore box that I've had sitting there doing nothing for ages. Marek I love you man ... my girlfriend has a bunch of kroot laying around that she doesn't use anymore ... looks like I'll have another reason to take the knife them.

Gorn Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 good idea, but in game terms i cant realy repersent the 're-roll' thing as there is only one 'claw' gorn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179554-alternative-weaponry-for-upcoming-space-wolves/#findComment-2126049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 nice claw mate, the blades are just the right length definatley stick with it. would he good to see it on a full model though. not a fan of the power sword/fist sory it just looks too awkward Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179554-alternative-weaponry-for-upcoming-space-wolves/#findComment-2126239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaScotius Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 In order to represent the Wolf Guard in TDA with Storm Bolter and Power Weapon, I was gutted that the Thunder Hammer is held in the same hand as the Storm Bolter (I wanted to remove the hammer's head and replace it with an axe head) ... so to get around this, I think I'm going to use the Power Axe and Sword from the old Space Wolf sprue, slice them off at the wrist and attach them to the Terminator Storm Shield arm... bingo, instant Power Weapon Terminators!
