Damaged pelt?

[Token]

Would it look good or silly to have damaged pelt on vehicles, like a Predator or Leman Russ that has hunted down a big wolf, shooting it, the putting the pelt on the vehicle, with holes big enough to be heavy bolter size or lascannon.

And how would you go about sculpting it?

I think it would add boat loads of character to it. Just make sure that they are big enough to see. As regards making them, there are some good articles on how to make fur in the tutorial threads.

 

But basically fur and pelts are done in two stages. The first stage is the hide part of the pelt which also doubles as the foundation for the fur on top. Make sure you rupture holes in the hide part and when cured you sculpt the fur around the holes.

Sorry, but no, not really. Space Wolves go after Fenrisian Wolves as a rite of passage, typically done without their armour or weaponry. They prove themselves and their skill in battle as man against monster. Using a Space Marine tank would completely devalue the ritual, and would bring no honor to those Marines.

 

Now, does it look alright to throw a wolf skin on a vehicle, sure, but I would consider it as having been placed there by a crewmember who earned that pelt on his own and who hung it outside to prevent himself from getting all tangled up inside his vehicle.

What would look cool is a piece of Tyranid Carapace with some big bullet holes in it, taken as a trophy...

Definitely. My old Dreadnought, Snorri, from 2nd Edition has a necklace of Tyranid claws.

it's lame to kill a wolf with a tank. what does that prove?

 

What would be cool is to suggest the pelt on the tank received sustained fire from a missile or autocannon.

That reminds me of the incident when a Chaos Sorcerer was run over by a Rhino (DS scattered). I was planing for a long time that i would get one of those figures cut it in half and glue it to the front of the Rhino with appropriate splatters.

Best I've seen is still splattered Nid Hormagaunts all over the front of a couple of Rhinos :o

How about a Chaos Space Marine helmet(s) hanging from a chain on a vehicle with a bullet hole in one side and a larger exit on the other with some rather old looking bloodstains????

Thanks for all the answers, didnt know how the marines hunted their wolves.
