FenrisWolf Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Question: On page 67 of our codex, there is a wolf priest model with a crozius arcanum and bolt pistol (top right of the page). Does anyone know what model this is? Is it an old GW model or some conversion?

Night Runner Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The model you are referring to was a limited edition Wolf Priest given out at Games Day over a decade ago. It was never for sale in stores or on GW's site. It does pop up from time to time on Ebay though but at a steep cost. Edit: I could not have been ninja'd by a better wolf! ;) :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221982-wolf-priest-model-in-the-codex/#findComment-2652365 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Scourge Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 They go for tons of cash on eBay. Its a shame since its the only WP model in PA, but the wolf helm in the Space Wolf Pack box allows for some decent conversions.

Its a shame since its the only WP model in PA, but the wolf helm in the Space Wolf Pack box allows for some decent conversions. I got mine for ~15 GBP five years ago. There is also Ulric mini, which makes a decent Wolf Priest, except that he's armed with plasma pistol, which is not a big deal to cut off and replace with bolt pistol.

Although I am not SW-player, I like the idea of DIY-ing one using the said wolf helm. He's a Wolf Priest after all, the wolf head suits perfectly.

Way1and Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I wonder why GW doesn't do plastic kits for librarians and chaplains like they do for the space marine commander. Then again, I'm not sure I'd shell out $25-30 just to get a proper wolf-skull helmet for my wolf priest...

No that comment was directed at building a plastic Librarian or Chaplain like one can now build for C:SM usually UltraSmurf but can be Vanilla SM Captains. The model you linked was originaly a Space Wolf Captain model but is now titled Wolf Guard and is metal and not plastic. The bit everyone wants to get is a suitable Wolf Skull Helmet that is "standard" amongst Chaplains (skull helmets that is, Space Wolf equivalent is a Wolf Skull) without having to have a Masters Degree in GS sculpting or finding and modifying a suitable skull bit from another gamin line to use as said "grail bit" in creating/customizing a model for ones own. That helmet is now available in plastic on the Grey Hunters box sprue. It's a Wolf's Head helmet and NOT a Wolf's Skull. Go have an ale and sit in a corner for a bit :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221982-wolf-priest-model-in-the-codex/#findComment-2653647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fisting Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wolf Priests don't necessarily all wear wolf skulls. Everybody just assumes that because Ulrik does, but that's Russ's old helm.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wolf Priests don't necessarily all wear wolf skulls. Everybody just assumes that because Ulrik does, but that's Russ's old helm. We have 2 Wolf Priest models. 2. Both of them wear wolf skulls. In the fluff they are described as wearing wolf skulls. so it isnt that far fetched that the image of wolf priests wearing wolf skulls is a common image for us Wolf players.

Gv0zD Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 In the fluff they are described as wearing wolf skulls. Wasn't it said in the latest Dex that WP wear skull-embossed armor, not a skull-helm? Or where else I can look up for this info?

Loki-LaughingDeath Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Traditionally the Wolf Priests wore the Wolf Skull helms into battle or went without like the art work from our previous codex. This went all the way back to Second Edition. Be thankful for what you have now. With the plastic kits you can build more to your tastes, and not have to use a special character every time to proxy your priest. They are the guardians of Morakai they wear skulls (lots of them) to show their enemies what awaits them.... death.

Emperors Immortals Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Waaay back in time, a young boy saw a picture of Ulrik and it changed him forever. He started a second army (after his beloved BA) which never, ever left his heart. Then he painted the models as chaos (they were actually 13th co waaaay before they had any details). But now - they are being stripped of there heresy and REBIRTHED BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!
