Stormbrow II Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've been meaning to get these pics up a bit sooner but now I've finally got the chance. I'm in the process of painting these in groups of 3 between Marine squads to break up the boredom of monotony. My buddy bought a load of magnets from the States (and it cost even less with the Euro v Dollar deficit) and he gave me a couple to mess about with. I've wanted to create a hunting pack of mech Cyberwolves that would be accompanied by a handler or two because I just don't like the idea of a Marine riding a Gigantic Wolf. It's just not for me. A hunting pack is something that wasn't out of the picture though. The original idea was to have the wolves being tailed by troops with Jump Packs but then I realised that if I had a need for models that I could simply leave the Marine on his regular base so that I could take them off when Grey Hunter squads or Wolf Guard squads demanded. The other thing I wanted was something to show how many wounds the individual bases had taken because I was definitely using/abusing the Wound Allocation Rule to keep them alive as long as possible. :tu: The final thing was that they would be large enough so that whiny opponents wouldn't bitch about them not being roughly the same size as the Special Character. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01493.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01491.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01490.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01489.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01487.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u134/StormbrowII/DSC01488.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195840-magnetised-twc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbrow II Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 They're Vampire Counts Dire Wolves. 10 of them for €20. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195840-magnetised-twc/#findComment-2332473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Bloodaxe Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well done.That is a great idea. I like guys riding wolves myself, as well as your idea. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195840-magnetised-twc/#findComment-2332588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think they need some fur! But cool still! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195840-magnetised-twc/#findComment-2333080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbrow II Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think they need some fur! But cool still! That's just my first squad. I'm going to have 3 squads in the end each based upon one of the Wolf Lord icons in the book: the first is Red Moon which will be kept emaciated looking. The second is squad Blackmane and the last will be Morkai - I'm working on a 2-headed wolf conversion for one base at the moment. The rest will need more green stuff but that will be mostly hair to cover up body parts really. Cheers for the comments lads. I'll probably update this as I go along.
