Wolf Lord mounted on converted Thunderwolf

[wolf363839]

I didn't like the look of Canis' mount, a bit too fat for such a badass. I chose to convert a mechanical bull of sorts. I think it represents a robotic Thunderwolf pretty well with some simple conversions.

 

I had to reposition the Wolf Lord's left lower leg and I added some green stuff to mask the chaotic slashes around the bloodcrusher's eyes. I also obviously added some SW bits and trimmed down some of the spiky bits, and I used a SW head from the WG terminator set. The Lord's arms are magnetized like the rest of my army to allow me to swap weapon options. Finally, I left off the backpack, simulating a fast, lean rider charging his way into combat.

 

Fluff-wise, I figure his boots and armor are "magnetized" to keep him on his mount and the mechanical beast can also provide power to the Lord's armor.

Good looking conversion.

 

I'm on the fence whether to shell out the cash to build 6 Thunderwolves like yours, use the chaos steed conversion, or buy the Non-GW Versions that have been poping up.

 

but the concept of a giant space viking riding a giant cyborg wolf............is just awesome.

 

great job, cant wait to see it painted
