Hfran Morkai Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I've always wanted to do a diorama featuring the Space Wolves and have finally settled on a theme due to the thread on snipers a while back. However I'm at a loss as to who to have being stalked through the ruins of a city by two Wolf Scouts. One will be designated as the shooter with a Sniper Rifle, probably a wolf cloak, combat weapon/pistol and some fetishes whilst the other is his spotter/protection with a bolter (might put a suppressor on but he'd only really use it if the position is compromised so torn on that), chainsword (for when things do go loud) and a combat blade for stealthy dispatches. They'll have been lying in wait up in the ruins for a while, which will probably result in me attempting to mock up a basha and put plenty of supplies around the ruins, maybe even some tripwires. Thing is I want to model the remains of an unfortunate enemy patrol on the bottom of the ruin, perhaps hidden away in a corner. I'm thinking traitor Guard are a good candidate due to the customization options in the kits and the relative ease the Scouts could dispatch a squad with. I might even get too carried away with these Scouts and create a series of mini dioramas. Opinions on worthy foes are much appreciated.

rodgers37 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 What would look quite good, in city ruins, would be some Death korps... or whatever they are called, the IG ones, that look a bit like Nazi's (think only from FW?) that would look quite cool.....

kickingbird Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 How about a squad of traitor guard that have just pulled up in a chimera. They have gotten out and are standing at ease (going to the toilet, having a smoke). Maybe an officer looking over a map with his comms tech. Make it look like they are getting ready to take him out. Maybe even have a small squad of wolf scouts spread out around them, waiting for the sniper to take out the leader and then ambush the remaining troops. Just my thoughts.

I actually really like that idea. I can imagine a Wolf Scout sneaking towards the Chimera with a meltabomb whilst the rest lurk. Now I can see one coming out from a sewer hatch... insanity will ensue once I get the kits.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Four mini scenes. Now I can see one coming out from a sewer hatch... One out of a sewer hatch to affix the meltabomb to a roving Sentinel as it covers the Chimera patrol. Another of the Sniper/Spotter focsuing on the enemy General looking over his maptable/comm centre. A third of a Scout clambering over rubble/up a building to take out an enemy Sniper. If you're really daring, the fourth of that classic scene of a commando - in this case a Scout - errupting from a river/stream/etc and knifing a pair of hostiles.

Lumdin Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 You can even use that clear water stuff that people use for rivers and tint it green for where the guy is urinating. Toxic green to show his complete corruption. Okay maybe too much detail. sorry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193698-who-to-fight/#findComment-2301412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 My vote is for the chimera traitor guard squad. That would be awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193698-who-to-fight/#findComment-2301665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
