CaptMac Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ok, using some Chaos hound things and Green Stuff this is my offering. I've not finished the paint job and shoulder pads but I thought I stick it up anyway. http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo159/captmac/IMG_0507.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199958-my-thunder-wolf-conversion-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptMac Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Chaos Warhounds, I just re-sculpted the head a wee bit and extended the body. I think that some of the ones that you can get are just a bit big, kinda belittles Canis's pony.

Kjarl Bluetooth Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Whilst the model is well made and painted, I'm afraid he looks like he's riding a Shetland Pony! Sorry but anything warhound sized is just to small to be a Thunderwolf.

Night Runner Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Whilst the model is well made and painted, I'm afraid he looks like he's riding a Shetland Pony! Sorry but anything warhound sized is just to small to be a Thunderwolf. I have to agree. I think the concept is awesome and the look is perfect. It's just the size that puts me off. Pity really.

Levitas Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Size seems to be strange with these. The art work on the TWC page is a bit misleading, it doesnt look quite big enough. I would say as the top predator on Fenris they would be fairly big (rhino size i believe it describes) I do really like this guy though.

VorpalDoom Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Considering the fluff bit in the codex mentions them "reaching" 8 feet in height.... That wolf model is actually properly scaled. Remember, these beasts have mechanical enhancements, so they're far stronger than flesh and bone. Remember, canis' mount happens to be the largest Thunderwolf... even described as "monstrous" So, smaller than canis' Thunderwolf is good, and 8 feet at the shoulder, which is about the same as a space marine, we're lookin' good on scale... even considering 40k's take on "heroic scale" I mount my Thunderwolves on 40mm round bases, I suggest the same, seems more fitting, a long base, for some reason, seems to push the idea of a bike, or something that's not as agile as a thunderwolf is. In any case... The model is looking great, the sculpt work is well done, can't wait to see it finished!

Kjarl Bluetooth Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I mount my Thunderwolves on 40mm round bases The Terminator sized bases are too small for TWC. The accepted size is 60mm - the same as Canis or Bloodcrushers. Just expect to be pulled up on that by opponents!!

VorpalDoom Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I've yet to have an issue after bringing them to many tournaments about base size. If my opponent made an issue out of it, i'd tell them that 1. Canis' thunderwolf is the largest there is, according to the codex, and 2. there is no thunderwolf model, so the base size is anything i want it to be.
