the akratic Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi everyone. It's a matter of personal opinion, but i really don't like the idea of riding fleshy non-armored wolves into battle in the 41st millenium. I know this has been talked about a lot, but that's not the point. I would like to convert BloodCrushers into Wolf Lords riding Mechanical Thunderwolves. Obviously, the only part I'd use is the Jugger that they ride. I'm thinking with some wolfy bits, and maybe some claws instead of hooves. Something like this: http://coolminiornot.com/121013 Only probably not as cool, since i'm not that awesome. . . What I'd like to know is how hard it would be to get space marine legs to fit around the Jugger, and how hard is it to remove the bloodletter from it? Anyone have any experience with the kit?

mitchell93 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 i was thinking about this to because i am using Egil Ironwolfs company, i just can't see how to make t sleeker and what to replace the head with. You could buy the Chaos Spacemarine one and dechaosify it.

wolf363839 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Here's my version of that same idea. Not finished modeling it yet, but it looks ok so far. Arms are magnetized so I can change wargear if necessary. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae39/phil363839/DSCF1967.jpg?t=1271531687 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2366726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the akratic Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yes! That's exactly what i wanted! Can you give me some more details on how you actually attached the marine to the jugger? Also, was it tricky to get rid of the chaos iconography, or was it just a matter of not glueing the spiky bits on?

wolf363839 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I first built the juggernaut by itself and trimmed off the spikey bits I didn't want. Then I played around with fitting the SM legs over it. I ended up repositioning the lower leg on one side to get a good fit. After that I glued the torso on and then the body to the mount. Then glued on the lower leg once it was already on the mount. Remember to magnetize the arm holes before attaching to the mount, it will make it easier. The last thing was to add some wolfy bits and base it. Hope this helps.

winternight Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just started working on my own. Steps were: File off all the Chaos Icons (one each on the front leg armour and one on one of the back legs. There is also a Khorne symbol on the hoof that is raised) Glue legs on (front right and back right) Add wolf bits that you want Green stuff in some fur Pretty happy with the results so far: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_zI7vEPAiQWc/S8pEsG_6bLI/AAAAAAAAATY/8u8fwY_KjWA/s576/Lord_Mount_01.jpg http://lh3.ggpht.com/_zI7vEPAiQWc/S8pEsbKrRVI/AAAAAAAAATc/xa9sLAi--sc/s576/Lord_Mount_03.jpg The paper clip will become a tail as the Juggernauts tail is extremely short. For the rider, I cut both legs away from the crotch piece and then just super glued them to the saddle that comes with the Juggernaut. A tiny bit of green stuff fills in the gap (which was only a couple of millimetres). I've pinned the rider and not glued it at the moment to make the green stuffing and painting easier. Magnets in the right shoulder and left wrist allow for different weapons. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_zI7vEPAiQWc/S8pEtNKBNaI/AAAAAAAAATo/ajzzEVD0AbQ/s576/Lord_Mount_06.jpg This is where I am up to atm: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_zI7vEPAiQWc/S8pEsppUBAI/AAAAAAAAATg/3xARXAudo8o/s576/Lord_Mount_04.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2367033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Only problem with the jugger conversions is you need to lose the hooves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2367100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
winternight Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Only problem with the jugger conversions is you need to lose the hooves. Indeed, I'll be green stuffing some claws over the hooves when I get down there. Plan on greenstuffing most of the fur, then laying the base down then doing the claws.

the akratic Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Very cool. Thanks for all the input. It's been very helpful so far! I'm gonna go for this guy: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1095423 The rest of my army is all 2nd edition, so this guy's old school styles will fit right in. lol Plus i kinda like the static pose. I can have him on an elevated base with a pointing finger.

alphalupine Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've used the old jugger also in my conversion. It's far from finished but I'll post my WIP for you to see how I'm converting it. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff214/alphalupineelder/DSC01362.jpghttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff214/alphalupineelder/DSC01364.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff214/alphalupineelder/DSC01363.jpghttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff214/alphalupineelder/DSC01365.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2367225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
winternight Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Nice work there alphalupine! Hardly recognise the old model. The pose looks slightly awkward though...

alphalupine Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 LoL! Yeah I'm by no means a pro. I was going for a dynamic leaping/charging/bucking Wolf Lord on TWM but it is what it is...

wolf363839 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Like the conversions brother. Nice work. I left mine a mechanical beast, so you'll still see hooves, gears, etc, but that fits my mechanized army list. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it painted up.

Ragnars Claw Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Very nice winternight, very nice indeed and what i am going to go for as well.

Inspired by the third picture down i presume? :lol: Yep ;) I have a bunch of other Thunderwolves that I made up from Dire Wolves, but I wanted something big and meaty for my Wolf Lord. Used him for the first time last night and he did well! Still not finished with these and I have another 3 that have been base coated http://lh3.ggpht.com/_zI7vEPAiQWc/S6dWGgxBzFI/AAAAAAAAASY/4GJH98H4_UU/s576/twc-10.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2368638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Azoth Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 For me this is the best way to achieve this cavalry..the wolves GW or other companies sell for this purpose dont fit my idea of these huge wolves... I was thinking about horses..but marines + horses..dont fit me neither...So If I decide to make myself one of these thunder wolves I´ll use juggies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198674-khorne-juggernauts-as-thunderwolve-mounts/#findComment-2368915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
