Levitas Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 With the exception of using the older 13th company models, how will you be modeling the more unstable members of your packs...the marked ones! I'm thinking a darker skin tone and yellowish eyes, also twin chainswords and running legs. For my sky claws even battle damage on the jump packs as they have gone into a frenzy. i glanced in the codex that the marked guy just had face paint. i think i want more of a visual difference. How bout you wolves? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180096-painting-mark-of-the-wulfen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout you wolves? i got about 10 of thee Eye of Terror Wulfen left, after those run out (pretty soon already) I am going to use the old 2ed captain in wolf helm till they run out (i got about 4-6). when those run out i'll use the new plastic Wolf helm in the space wolves pack set.

Gore Fang Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I was going to paint them wild, add battle damage, and then give them some serious blood splash. Just like they had just ripped an enemy limb from limb with their fangs and claws.

Growler67 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Cover the base in blood, the hands and weapons too I guess. Actually the battle damaged armor and other things are easy to distinguish or however you decide to make the stand out from the others.

WG Vrox Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Mark of the Wolven Do you think they would be able to tell if I ran them this way. :P Vrox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180096-painting-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2132446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm just going to paint a mark on the face, with the ring around the base painted red. That way if I don't want to pay for the upgrade on a certain list, he still WYISWYG as a Grey Hunter. I'm not too big on the whole werewolf side of the Space Wolves anyways, and I prefer if the curse is represented more subtly and mysterious like the current dex. Let the 13th Company have their full blown beast men.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well I'm currently only planning on running them in Blood Claw units so two close combat weapons seems an easy way, even if they only fight with tooth and claw, I figure my blood claws wouldn't want a ranged weapon, much better to tear the foe to pieces at close range.

maznaz Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Mine are going to be various shades of subtle werewolf metamorphasis, so thinking elongated ears, yellow eyes, bare hands with elongated fingers and so on. The constant factor will be the space wolf paw print icon in red in a circle somewhere prominent on their armor, so their brothers can identify them even when not "showing".

andrewdrexler Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am going to use Beastmen heads and bare arms so that they look like the Wulfen from EoT. I will also paint them so that they have brownish flesh (like they are covered in a fine fur).

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I have always been under the impression that being "marked" is slightly different from being "Wulfen" . The above examples for me would fall into the Wulfen category, although they are brilliant examples. I remember somehwere in one of the Ragnar novels it describes a space wolf being marked and in the description he has yellowed wolf eyes and a little more feral look but still operated as a normal member of the pack. I suppose it is all down to personal preference at the end of the day, I will be going for a normal looking Greyhunter armed with two axes or chainswords and perhaps a little bit of war paint on his face just to show a difference.

spectre312 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I;ve got my one set of the EOT wulfen... and after that, I'll consider just using the same premise as my old death company models. Anyone wielding an opponents severed limb as a weapon, and has a chestplate covered in blood and flesh tends to look obviously different.

CoinReturn Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm going to throw some custom weapons and maybe a slightly different paint scheme to help differentiate. Yellowed eye's just aren't enough when the models backs are to me most of the game.

I'm with you on this view too. I think it is more keeping with the books in that they are 'borderline' when marked, their feral nature closer to the surface. As apose to full blown moonhowlers like the 13th co. The books definitely talk of a look in their eyes and even a change in their posture, but they are still marines. From a model point of view there is a need to have instant recognition to avoid confusion. I like the idea of actual markings, or even a change in posture such as a lower center of gravity. You could alter the kneeling legs with a bit of green work and have them in a crouching pose. But I think the dual CC weapons and bit of extra gore will suffice should the model be needed a s a regular hunter at some point.

Lumdin Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 What about a short banner on their backpacks with a mark of the wulfen ? Thinking of a W turned clockwise like 45 degrees with a line through it in red. on a grey background. Would look like one of the runes. I would still do the eyes yellow and the edge of the base Red, and the same mark somewhere on the armor in red. But the flad would surely make it stand out. I have used goblin banners before that have the tattered edges on the bottom. ( about a1.5 high) Just my two cents, shooting out ideas. I personally dont like banners on backpacks for any of my guys. But might make an exception for them. the idea probably sucks.

CoinReturn Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I was thinking about using one of the short symbols that come in the box set. I wouldn't make a banner, but saving a specific decoration or shoulder pad was one of my ideas.
