Piousservant Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Having finished A Thousand Sons, I'm very much tempted to reboot a Pre-Heresy-ish 13th Company army I attempted a while ago. The book really fired my enthusiasm for mean and ruthless Space Wolfs and I think 13th Coy would really allow an expression of their nasty animal side (IMO the Wolves come across very unsympathetically in the book but though I dislike them for their actions towards the Sons, but I much prefer the ruthless/barbaric interpretation of the Wolves over the beer drinking vikings in space approach). The old Wulfen models are like gold dust, which is a shame, but I actually would like some far more bestial and "wolfish" wulfen - bigger and meaner. More wolf with a bit of marine, than marine with a bit of wolf. If you catch my drift... Though I have a picture in my head I'm not really sure where to start from a modelling perspective and just wondered if anyone had tried or done anything similar. Also, I've not seen any GW wolf models which (IMO) look menacing enough to be Fenrisian Wolves (though there are no wolves on Fenris... ;)). I'd like to include some Fenrisian Wolves so I'd appreciate any suggestions for decent models to use for them. Thanks!

antique_nova Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Mark of the wulfen is marked with a red slash across the face. You can see it in the pictures of the models in the space wolf codex. thanks antique_nova Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193268-wolves-and-wulfen/#findComment-2295624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagneticFreak Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I get your point. IMO the old wulfen are perfect for the job (same stats, same size, just more attacks...). But, perhaps could you consider buying some werewolf models from other companies and use them? Otherwise, navigate through this forum. A bunch of people (including me) have tried to model wulfen, either for marines with MOTW or as Thunderwolf riders. As for fenrisian wolves, I guess a lot of people tend to use the goblin wolf riders steed by GW.

But equally you could represent it with giant bestial-snarly-wolf-marine-monster things ). Well, I'm hoping I not the only one to think so, otherwise I'm not going to get much help here... ;) Actually, I'm not sure rules-wise these will be marines with "Mark of the Wulfen" anyway coz that would make it difficult to have whole squads of them. Not sure but I imagine they will count as Wolf Guard of some kind.

But, perhaps could you consider buying some werewolf models from other companies and use them? Otherwise, I dont see what you could use, if you dont want to convert your models. I've got a few old Wulfen which will be mixed in the army probably as "Mark of the Wulfen" models. I just have this vision of wulfen who are too far gone - big bestial brutes who are just pointed in the right direction and released. The inspiration comes from A Thousand Sons but I think Rangar fights something similar in one the Space Wolf books - though I can't remember exactly (maybe one of his fellow recruits or something??). I like my Space Wolves dark and nasty... :-) I'm happy to dabble with a bit of converting - just stuck with where to start as a base. Just thought somebody else might have done something similar to give my a better idea how to translate the concept onto the tabletop. searchy is your friend dude... heres a few inks with regards to fenrisian wolves and such like*snip* as for MOTW well heres a couple... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...0&hl=wulfen Thanks for the links stinkenheim! Those Gamezone Wolves in particular look like they have a lot of potential to me. And the link above is exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking about!
