Grimtooth Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I have seen several renditions of Wolf Scouts that show them VERY feral, either posed or modeled. From what I have read of them, they are veterans of stealth and cunning. Of course they might get a little loose when discovered and trying to fight out of a tight spot, but for the most part they would be killing sentries from the shadows and as to not alert the general force of an enemy. Has anyone actually modeled their scouts to represent a stealthy veteran forced versus a wild bunch of bare-chested maniacs?

thorim Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've just built my Scouts using normal Space Marine Scout Models with the Space Wolves Scout Heads. Also chucked in a few Space Wolves pack accessoires such as wolf pelts, knives etc. I was going to model some fur on the shoulder pads out of green stuffso they look like they have been in the wild for a while but keep that "stealth" part of them too. Also, I was going to paint them a bit more "muckier" than the rest of the army just so they look like they have been out in the wild for a bit! I agree that some Scout models look a bit too "feral" for my liking but I'm sure my Scouts would be too similar to Space Marine Scouts! (Apologise if this doesn't make too much sense, I've had a few pints!)

CainTheHunter Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I did them like this - I'm currently painting them up for Librarium Challenge and will be posting some update pics soon. They are not bare-chested, but I believe they are what You'd call "feral maniacs" :rolleyes: Wolf scouts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193763-modeling-scouts/#findComment-2302229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorim Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I actually like them! (minus the Spears!) I think I saw some on the internet that seemed a bit over the tip considering there meant to be a bit stealthy! Can't remember where tho!

Grimtooth Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 I can't figure out if it was DV8 or whoever has the Prophet miniatures. I just can't remember.

Hfran Morkai Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've got a stabdard pack as a filler for now but will likely get round to modeling a decent pack reminiscent of veterans, likely combining bits from Guard boxes (especially Catachan backpacks from the command sprue for extended operations) and other various sources. Basic rule is everyone is tooled up with knives and no chainswords (my WGBL will have a frost axe) to try and remain quiet, I like some of the Storm poses which could be used to represent them stalking through/lurking in ruins (city themed Wolf force here) Then there's the pack I want to model into a series of dioramas, they'll be tooled up but still maintain sleek looks and have a rugged, isolated feel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193763-modeling-scouts/#findComment-2302305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormshrug Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 For my Scouts, I usually use a slightly different color for the armor (a darker blue/grey) to signify the whole "stealth" aspect. I also threw in a fair number of wolf pelts, extra pouches, knives, etc when I modeled them, since they're presumably carrying equipment to survive unsupported for long periods of time. I am a big fan of dynamic poses, though; it's only appropriate, since I usually use them for ambushes with OBEL, either against armor or vulnerable and/or troublesome enemy troops.

The running signifies the moment they finally break cover at turn one. I mean once that missile launcher goes off, the battle has started and stealth has gone out the door. Not yet engaged, but right on the way to get some. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193763-modeling-scouts/#findComment-2302627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The middle guy's head came from the first edition of the 10 man plastic tactical squad and the head on the right is the space marine commander head with a green stuffed undercut (he has a pony tail at the back).

Greywolf Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Before the new SW kits came out, I used a mix of the old metal SW scouts and the new kits with heads from the old SW kit (with the neck piece shaved down to fit. ;) http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/Wigginisms/Warhammer/P1020357.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/Wigginisms/Warhammer/P1050361.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/Wigginisms/Warhammer/P1020356.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/Wigginisms/Warhammer/DSCN0413.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193763-modeling-scouts/#findComment-2304199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
