MalachiOfRuss Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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 ;) I was also thinking of trying to paint yellow "wolf eyes" on the model. Maybe I'll post a picture when I'm done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/page/2/#findComment-2684705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danosef Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 @ Darkseer - I couldn't agree more. I know a lot of people love the 'wolfman' image for their MotW (And fair enough - each to their own) - but I prefer to think of the model as a champion or berserker within the squad. One of the pack known for their ferocity in CC and skill wielding dual blades etc - as opposed to a guy who's having a seriously hard time with puberty ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/page/2/#findComment-2684707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Mark of the Wulfen is brillaint, though I would never rely to heavy on the rending, just more for me the amount of the attack. More dice the oppent has to roll to make saves!!! Model wise, I tend to use Beastmen shield, taken the idea from the Lone Wolf art work I though it be cool. Also help the model stand out as in the heat of a game you can easily forget if the model got a small tatto for exsample on his face. So shield just held me notice the Mark of the Wulfen right away. You can see my Grey Hunter with Mark of Wulfen on Mart007 blog (Beastmen shield with the skull on it & dark Grey power armour Wolves) http://marts-warhammer-40k.blogspot.com/20...ted-armies.html http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uCsKgN1A5Cg/TWN9...00/DSC03649.JPG IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/page/2/#findComment-2684717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 See what you mean about the shield. Surely two axes would look more the part than two chainswords? They'd be dropped pretty quick after the first few swings. So....hairy, man wolf berzerkers with twin cc weapons in aggressive stances. I'm sold already. Glad I asked. Getting some good stuff. Be interesting to see if the yellow eyes work Malachi.

Danosef Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Two axes would be sweet actually - I hadn't thought of that :P I use twin chainswords simply because of the avilablity of parts in my bits box. Also, my army is less 'wolfed up' in appearance than many - and I do tend to use swords/chainswords wherever possible. Still - given the parts I'd probably go with axes myself as I think that image is fantastic :) Agree about the eyes. While it doesn't make your model stand out from the crowd - it would add something to the model. Pics would definitely go down well Malachi ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224456-mark-of-the-wulfen/page/2/#findComment-2684835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 If you have any, or any of your mates have any, the bare heads from the khorne berzerker kit look pretty good.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Whether or not MOTW is "worth it" depends on what you already have in the squad, and what the squad is for. I find that with a Wolf Standard and an attached Wolf Guard with a powerfist, I do good enough. With the savings of not putting in a MOTW in 3 packs, that's 45 points, which is almost two long fangs with missile launchers. I'd rather have the missile launchers personally. If you are going for the crazy close combat army, then it might be worth it....

maverik_girl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=211665 my husband has two models that I know of, that does justice to a model with a mark of the wulfen. But I have to say I like both the werewolf and berserker look. Mark of the Wulfen is brillaint, though I would never rely to heavy on the rending, just more for me the amount of the attack.

Schertenleib Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Went with the genestealer hands conversion myself. Just the fact that the fluff says that the attacks are made with fangs and claws. Might do face tattoos or two CCW next time round. Here's a pic of one of my Greyhunter squads with a MotW figure.

Tsavong Lah Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 For me, only wolves in the Wolf Guard or one of the higher orders have earned the right to go bareheaded, so all of my Grey Hunters are normally helmeted. For my Mark of the Wulfen models, I give them the special shoulder pad with the skull and scroll on it, and on the scroll I paint "WULFEN". It fits perfectly if you use a thin brush. They also go without helmets to represent their berserker approach to warfare, and I almost always paint their irises red. They're almost instantly recognizable on the tabletop.

Be interesting to see if the yellow eyes work Malachi. Yes as said just Sheild for me help out. Two Chains axe would be pretty cool as well from the Bezerker set & as said there a Bezerker bear head which look really cool. If you want to go a bit more Wulfen, I rememeber someone on here had done some really nicely converted plastic Wulfen useing Marines & Beastmen bits. wow! I like your army, very nice. I think it's one of the best looking Space Wolf armies here Thanks, everone can see more of my Space Wolves kicking about on the fourms from tournament battle reports or my Wolf Wing project log. More to arrive & more tournament to attend in the very near future.

Magic Dragon Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I plan on using these heads Wulfen Heads and Beastman arms to model my Wulfen when I actually get around to building them (sigh at lack of funds).

d@n Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 there are a few places you can buy wulfen type heads or make your own using beast man heads and then model claws with grypt ghoul hands.

Dvorikr Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Worth every point! I model mine with chaos marauder arms, ghoul hands from vampire counts fantasy and khorne berserker legs.

WG Vrox Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The choice between power weapon and MotW is a toss up really, the math hammer is so close it comes down to personal preference. If you do decide to go with a MotW model, simple use the wolf helmet that comes in the kit. I see it as a ceremonial piece of armor that a Wolf Priest would give a grey hunter suffering from the bestial call of the woven. Maybe its inscribed with runes that keeps the hunter from loosing themselves to the . If you wanted to get a little dynamic use the combination of of the helmet and gene-stealer claws to represent the rending potential.

Typical Cricket Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've seen people make some cool-looking conversions using the heads from Beastmen Ungors from Fantasy. You'd probably want to clip off the horns and add some hair though.
