Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If you are like me and you aren't particularly fond of the wolf standards which come in the Space Wolves Pack, then what do you use for standards instead?

Grey Mage Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The banner arm from the SM Command Squad sprue is particularly nice, as is the actual SW Banner Carrier. You can usually get a BA guy to go in on a Command Squad with you too, as they all seem to want the apothecairy bitz.

Allerka Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I would think the regular back-pack banners could work as well. It always seemed kind of silly to me that the Wolf Standards presented in the codex, despite basically being a squad banner, are the same size as the Great Company ones. As long as you make it clear to your opponent, I don't see why it shouldn't work. While I use C:SW rules, I do my own DIY Chapter. To represent my "Wolf Standards" I have guys with brass rods sticking out of their backpacks, and heads of various enemy models mounted on them (i.e. battle trophies). I could see the Space Wolves potentially doing the same as well. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208461-wolf-standards/#findComment-2487509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RADU LYKAN Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 so far i have only completed one wolf banner, i used the goblin wolf riders standard. any of the more barbaric fantasy races provide decent enough standards for representing wolf banners. this leaves the actual space marine banner to be used as a great company banner without it looking like just another wolf banner. make sense? sooo tired pic of my first wolf banner http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/spacewolves/armyleft.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208461-wolf-standards/#findComment-2487764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell93 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The back pack banners are what I use. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208461-wolf-standards/#findComment-2487802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Whoops, forgot about this thread. If you get one of those nifty Warhammer Fantasy banners, how does that work? Do you stick a goblin arm on your marine, or do you have to also track down a marine "banner arm" to use with the fantasy banner? Thanks...

The banner pole from the goblin should be sufficient [though I am assuming this]. If it is not, you'll need to go on the net and buy a Marine arm with banner pole. Cut the pole from the goblin hand, top and bottom. Drill straight through the Marine's hand [whatever arm suits what look you want], drill into the banner pole [both the bottom and the top parts]. This will take skill and patience. Cut a paper clip. The paper clip 'pin' goes through all three parts and combined with super glue [which you put into all three parts and the contact areas between the three parts] will give a strong bond. As with all Marines, use PVA glue to stick a washer into the base, to get the centre of gravity down low.

Wolfun Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I got an old Standard Bearer model (Circa '94, I think) but was going to use him with a Cape from the old Skaven models because it just looks enough like a skinned Wolf to fit. I'll do a bit of converting to the model itself to make it a bit more Wolfy, too.

Heimer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It is also possible (with a bit of conversion) to use the banner from the IG command squad. I personally find this very nice, mainly because of the "waving-in-the-wind" effect and the size of it.

the akratic Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I also use the banner from the goblin wolf rider kit from the fantasy range. I simply mounted the banner on the top of a piece of wire cut from a coat hanger, and drilled out a regular marine fist that would regularly hold a bolter/boltpistol. This eliminates the need to find an elusive banner arm, and still looks fine.
