Forté Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Firstly, before you beat a young claw, the powers that be keep sending errors on my search fu! Basically, I'm planning on using Bran Redmaw's grand company but am weighing up how much of the mark to use and how best to show those with it. Really like the idea of a loan wolf who has let it take him to destroy his foes as a wolf should but not too sure about hq's and grey hunters with it. Thoughts and the odd mead.

Decoy Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Incredibly worth it. Best shown with red facial markings. Best used on Grey Hunters, and not much else; It'd be a waste on ICs.

Hfran Morkai Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I model my Wulfen with the wolf helmet available in the Pack box (most of my army wears helmets due to having just conducted an orbital drop) painted red. They also are modelled with the Templar chainswords actually chained to the arms, enabling him to throw the chainswords at his foe (like the only non WYSIWYG models in my force) EDIT: If you want to represent Bran being held by the Wulfen why not give him Saga of the Warrior Born? The spilling of blood brings his bestial side to the surface or something.

Forté Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Was thinking red hands and hairy heads. No helmets. Possibly assault marine legs too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeddon Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes, completely worth it! I've got it on both Grey Hunters and Wolf Scouts, seems to work pretty well for me. I'm painting mine up to have bloody hands and mouths. Other than that I model them to have a more aggressive, less static pose. If that makes sense. If you want to represent Bran being held by the Wulfen why not give him Saga of the Warrior Born? Yeah, that's what I do too.

Kassill Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 They are definitely worth it in your GH packs! They make for a nasty little suprise. As for modeling, you can try finding the olden Wulfen metal models from GW or use the Lycan models from Mythicast. Or just paint some red on a marines face and make him angry! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Not too keen on the old GW wulfen models but the look is an idea for sure. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShoes Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 When I was making my MotW conversions I remembered my brother used to collect nids and had genestealers. I then cut off the hands of a set of wolf arms and the claws of a genestealer and after filing stuck the wolf arms and nid claws together :wallbash: When I paint them I am going to give them more battle damaged, bloody armour and paler skin than the rest of the army as well as maybe some blood spilling from the marines lips.

CainTheHunter Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 If You can roll high, then MoTW is excellent :wallbash:. Imagine the look on the oponent's face "and lets see, this marine will have 8 attacks for this round :)" - and I'm gonna reroll all 1's because of THAT banner. And he's got rending." I am putting Mark on scouts as well, but I tend to overdo things on my scouts :yuck: I also have one Power armor Lone Wolf with mark, plasma pistol and storm shield + two fenwolves. He's actually quite nasty with 3++ save in combat, two wounds and if he manages to get hot with the pistol and fails his armor save, he always has additional 4+ FNP save for that :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is he working for you? I'm still struggling with Lone Wolves per se, but he's kind of fun. I typically either keep him close to one LF pack (which has transport) and later hop him in the Razor to seek glory. The whole wargear combination on him is kind of nasty, he can even theoretically pop some transports and assault the contents (never actually happened yet) and he's got two ablative wounds because of wolves.

Danosef Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I enjoy using MotW in my GH Packs and have them modelled in as dynamic a pose as possible, with a chainsword in each hand to give a more CC orientated feel to the model. I paint them up with a variety of facial tattoos as well to distinguish them a little further. They really stand out and are remembered by many in my gaming group :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthstar Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I had a bolter arm fall off one of my models, and I've just started painting him to be one of my mark of the wulfen. I don't know why but I love the idea of a crazed bloodthirsty, one armed grey hunter. Like he just had the arm cut off and the wulfen has risen up in response.

Forté Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Def made up my mind to use it and you've all given great ideas for modeling too. Cheers. Mead and meat in the great hall.

Provocation Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Mark of the Wulfen is awesome. I prefer equipping them with 2 close combat weapons and applying a transfer (the fangs over the knife) to denote them as berserkers. Decided to use a squad of Grey Hunters in a drop pod as a speed bump 1st turn in a game against Tau. Totally sacrificial but luckily the MotW and another Grey Hunter survived. The MotW model went on to take out a squad of fire warriors, 6 stealth suits and a crisis suit. Still brings a smile to my face, time for some mead.

Ragnars Claw Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 In a post that seemingly bucks the trend i would put mark of the wulfen in the cool, not bad but not optimised category. I think its too easy to wound allocate out or it just doesn't do that much really. For efficiency i would prefer a power weapon or another grey hunter for the cost. Awesome conversion opportunities though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its too easy to wound allocate out or it just doesn't do that much really. For efficiency i would prefer a power weapon or another grey hunter for the cost. Awesome conversion opportunities though This is what I've been trying to work out. In a small GH pack it would be a waste of points. That I know. But a lone wolf? Storm shield and MotW or storm shield and frost axe? 2-8 potential S4 rending or 2-3 S5 PW hits. Does feel characterful having a rampaging berserker how I have to get killed or give points away.

Ragnars Claw Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 For a lone wolf i would go terminator armour, storm shield, chainfist. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it mate - glad to provide some inspiration :) I love this config. as it makes them look more of a 'berzerker' type character and with the 2x Chainsword the model actually looks like he might be able to pull off some of the silly number of attacks you can roll :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/#findComment-2684625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
