Rizara Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hey fellow wolf brothers, i am at a standstill on a wolf lord conversion idea. I am currently tossing around ideas and thoughts on what bitz to use to convert my wolf lord representation of Kjarl Grimblood. I really want to model him in power armor, and i want the conversion to be cool and having a nice pose and all, or at least try to. Anyways i am stumped, because i am trying to decide between using standard size marine legs since thats what the rest of my force, or to go with Termi legs and try to do a truescale type conversion to represent the Saga of the bear i am giving my wolf lord. I have even tossed around the idea of just going with termie armor but i really want to model up a frost axe for my Firewolves lord. Anyways, would you guys suggest just sticking to say the legs from the Space marine captains box set, or going with termie legs and convert them to look more like power armor, and go with a more truescale approach to the guy? I already know what i am going to use as the bases for his frost axe, and converting a combi flamer is pretty easy. The wolf pelt/cloak is still a bit tricy but if i use the commanders box set cape then i can model a wolf pelt on that maybe. Luckily i got a couple months but i gotta get started on the converting of my wolf lord and i am at a stopping point on choices.

Loki-LaughingDeath Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Have you looked around at the various plastics and metals available? There are tons of ideas, one of my wolfguard started off as a Chaos Lord till he met my files and Xacto Knife, then after being redressed as a Wolf he was happier.

slmellon Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 there is some nice wolfy stuff in the chaos marauders box: pelts, heads etc. also chaos knights too. as far as legs: if you use TDA legs, will they fit on small base? if you use large base can he be in Power Armor? If you want him towering over your troops, you could always build up the base. I dont know, my conv skills suck so... Main thing is to have fun right. Do what makes you happy.

AcidBurn Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 personally i would use normal marine sized legs and just build the base up a bit like have him standing on a rock with one fist in the air, or have his weapon raised to the sky (space wolves hoooooooo style). what war gear are you giving him?

Freman Bloodglaive Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I basically used a bunch of Chaos parts to build my Lord, Chaos biker, Khorne torso, Khorne fanged head with some hair, big axe, some greenstuffed wolf pelt.

Rizara Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 yeah i am thinking it might be best to just use normal size marine parts. I am currently going with a Frost Axe, Combi Flamer, and a Belt of Russ. I am wanting to also make his armor a little bit more runic like to indicate the fluff of Kjarl Grimblood having a bit of Psychic Abilities, since they state he can read the future in the flames. Anyways, fluff wise i can only see a combi flamer(tho wish i could give him Vulcan Hestans Rules). I couldn't find anything anywhere that stated whether he was in Power armor or Termie armor, so i am opting for the power armor so i can fit him in with either grey hunters or wolf guard. As for conversion ideas, i was leaning on him having a wrist mounted combi flamer but it would be a bit to bulky. I then thought about splitting up the combi flamer with a flamer on one gauntlet, a bolter on the other. I even thought about converting up a 2handed Frost Axe with the Combi Flamer Built into it, sorta like a wolf version of a grey knight weapon. In the end i am just simply going to go with a combi flamer in hand, and a massive double bladed frost axe in the other. I want to give him a pose where hes laying down the flame, with the axe in hand but in a more battle ready position. I am still torn on what to use for his head. Not sure if he should be bald with a full beard, or have a full set of hair, or if he his beard/hair should be braided or more unkept and wild looking. I guess i will have to go thru the head options between both the wolf sets and the marauder sets and see if theres one i like. Thanks guys for suggestions. I really appreciate it.
