darthrex354 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 my idea is to put a space wolf and 2 fenresian wolves on a 60mm base and convert some leashes to attach the marine to the wolves. would anyone object to this being used as TWC?

Jason Santiago Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Consider that idea stolen. Haha, hows that for an answer? I was thinking something along those lines, however no leashes for me. The fluff makes me think they wouldn't disrespect the wolves by leashing them.

Peacekeeper Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I personally wouldn't mind, would also make for some cool conversions.

Nacho Wolf Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I reckon I've seen someone do that on this forum... forget who it was though. Come to think of it, he might of used vampire counts dire wolves, you know, making the bone metal and the muscle into metal cabels or something like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220822-thunderwolf-cavalry-conversion-idea-opinions/#findComment-2637038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthrex354 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 that was fast, i'm gonna buy some dread bases tommorow. i thought the idea was ok but you never know when you tick a nerve and end up with a dozen people screaming "THEY'RE TOO SHORT, YOU GET TOO MANY COVER SAVES YOU BEARDY GIT" and you get hit in the head with a gazgull model. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220822-thunderwolf-cavalry-conversion-idea-opinions/#findComment-2637055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 TWC ideas thread see post no. 197. They would be too short for tourney play, but even then, it would be easy to say they could always be seen unless behind a LR or anything taller than a Rhino. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220822-thunderwolf-cavalry-conversion-idea-opinions/#findComment-2637238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Or just have the Marine epicly standing on a small rise, boosting him up 1/3" or so.

Wildfire Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They would be too short for tourney play Says who? Is there a height requirement for them that I don't know about?

Marshal Wilhelm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They would be too short for tourney play Says who? Is there a height requirement for them that I don't know about? If you are playing at a competitive tournament, opponents will probably want something that is 'cavalry height' and not just a Marine. Khorne Juggernauts, Slaanesh Fiends and Canis himself are all taller and bigger than a Marine. Opponents would say that the model used is smaller than it out to be and so you could hide it out of TLoS and not get shot at all, whereas you'd get seen and given cover if you were using a bigger model. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220822-thunderwolf-cavalry-conversion-idea-opinions/#findComment-2642566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 But there's no official rule for "cavalry height". So they may just have to suck eggs. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating anyone should try to model for game advantage. I think a way to raise the model a bit higher would be sportsmanlike, something we should all take care to do. And honestly, I think a big rock with one of the wolves leaping off it would look great! However, there's no rule against it (unless of course the TO makes one).

I think they are too long for the 60mm base, though I am not sure....
