First Wolf Priest conversion

[Serunox]

Evening Brothers.

I attempted a wolf priest conversion last week.It came out pretty all right,better than I expected.Used some greenstuff to make the bottom jaw and the skull was one of the extra bits I got in a sapce wolves pack.

 

Here he is.

The advice I need is this,In my list I have 3 HQ's.A Rune Priest, Wolf Lord with jump pack and wolf priest.Point tally is about 1600 with some transports etc.

I put the Rune priest with my Long Fangs,Wolf Lord with Sky Claws and that leaves my wolf priest to go somewhere.

I have 3 Grey Hunter squads with a Wolf Guard each.

I want to use the Wolf Priest, what would be the best to do with him?

Drop the Wolf Guard and give him a Grey Hunter squad?

First, not a bad conversion. However your skull looks kinda like a Koopa Troopa from SMB. Maybe give it some fangs to fix that look and make it a bit more intimidating. I like the paint scheme though, is your whole army that color or just the priest?

 

Next, I can see why you would put a wolf lord with a JP in a squad. You want that WS6, I5, 3 wound monster all tooled up in combat as fast as possible, which I doubt anyone would argue. However, you should be better off giving your wolf priest a jump pack and run him in your skyclaws. His special rule gives your skyclaws preferred enemy against any 1 unit type. Which will deal a truck load of hurt with your units 40 attacks in which they get to re roll their hits.

 

Now, for that beast we call your wolf lord, the second best way (some would argue the only way!) to get him into the face of your opponent is a TWM (thunder wolf mount). If you don't have the model, then you'll have to resort sticking him in a transport with your GHs which isn't a bad option at all.

 

If you don't like any of these option, maybe consider dropping the lord altogether. It would free up anywhere from 120-250 points depending on what wargear/sagas you give him. Doing so could allow another GH squad, Rune Priest, or another Long Fangs. All of which you can't go wrong with.

Thanks for the feedback.It actually has fangs,but the damn paint got a bit thick and messed the fangs up.I wanted to redo them but didnt have time.

Concerning the paint,only the priest.I would love to make m whole company that paint scheme,perhaps call them the lost company with that scheme.

 

I figured the priest would be best with the pups.Ill probably pop the WL in a rhino or try to get some TWM models.Ill have a look at what is available enar me before I order from overseas.Dropping the WL,no.I like him alot.He dealt alot of damage to a few opponents with his TWC.

Added them and some teeth around the the power weapon and onto his right shoulder pad.Just need to add the jump pack.then im done.What do you guys think?

Must say, im tempted to try him with sky claws.
