arctic Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 What do you use for a wolf standard? Do you use the backpack banners, and if so how do you make them stay on (mine always come off)? I notice there is a model on the GW website but it looks an old one and would require an actual banner. Also, how is the one in the codex made? Is it from the space marine command squad? Many thanks in anticipation! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218784-modelling-wolf-standard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapturowski Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I used the backpack icon with the staff from the Chaos Space Marine box for mine. Not exactly a standard I guess but the description in the Codex is pretty flexible. The one in the Codex seems to be made with parts from the Command Squad as you say.

Casual Heresy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I made mine from one of the pack banners from the space wolf pack mounted on a Grey knight Halbred with the blade removed.

Schertenleib Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I currently use three standards in my army. Two use the backpack standards from the box: one uses the Marauder Horsemen banner.

Heimdall Skullcrusher Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I use the backpack banner, but added some magnets. That way after I use it, I can remove it. Plus it makes it easier to fit in a standard case. Or if i'm not including the standard in my list, I can use the model without the banner attached.

Gerwulf Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm using the back pack banners. But I only kept one with the original top, for the remaining I cut of the top piece and exchanged them with the other bits and pieces that are in the PA and TDA box to come up with a variety of banners, even thought the cloth itself looks the same. I was going to magnetise them, and probably should have, but in the end I didn't bother. They break of once in a while, but not very often. I would say either magnetise or pin them.

Marshal Wilhelm Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Mine are much like the second one from Schertenleib. Wolf Standards by MW I have collected some Fantasy stuff from the Chaos range and will be making some more of them soon enough.

Bulweih Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hail brothers! Having a few Grey Hunter packs, their banners vary, to express the codex description. One has the banner of the command sprue, like the beautiful Ragnar banner in the codex, where they charge out of a Land Raider of some sort. Another uses the one of the marauder horsemen shown by brother Schertenleib, while yet another pack has the one of the black orks from fantasy if memory serves right. Yet other another pack follows him here, their packleader, guy in the font line middle: Thorgard the hard handed ...his backpack with the wolf's head and knife thing serves as the banner.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 From a bits site I got an old school bare backpack banner pole with a cross beam with the intention of making my own fabric-y banner instead of that cursed plastic one. What I did instead was slap on some wolf skulls and other bits to make a more primitive, tribal banner. I also bought a marine banner arm from a bits site and made a "proper" rectangular like the ones pictured here. I won't reveal what it is now, because it is too awesome for this thread. Soon the tales of its appearances will spread through the gaming community and mouths will drop in shock and awww (not awe, the kind of 'aww' someone says when they see a cute puppy). Another option is getting some warhammer fantasy banner top to go on your banner arm pole.

Demonslayer Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I use anything that looks like a banner, Wolf fur, Chaos bits, Enemy heads and banners, some sort of relic or trophy. Think I'll make a double headed axe for a Giant and use that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218784-modelling-wolf-standard/#findComment-2609280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar the Red Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm lazy. I dont use use any squad or back banners. I have one for my army. I use the banner from Forgeworld's Space Wolf Dred. I put my Great Company markings and colors on it. The metal wolf standard bearer carries it.

arctic Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Excellent, thanks for all the tips. I think I've got a black orc and marauder banner, these seem to be good options.

earthpig23 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Excellent, thanks for all the tips. I think I've got a black orc and marauder banner, these seem to be good options.
