Wolves of Fenris - Completed Great Company


DV8

Recommended Posts

Was photographing models for my completed LPC and I figured I might as well pull out every painted Space Wolf I have completed to date ( totalling (if my math is correct) 119 infantry and 13 vehicles) just to show off my Great Company.

I would love to see an allied Great Company battle of DV8's SW's with Spikey James's SW's against "Insert any other army here".

 

Fantastic stuff.

I would love to see DV8's SW's with Spikey James's SW's, Insane Psychopath's wolves, with Wolf Lord Mjolnir, Levitas, and littlbitz's wolves all on the table!!! haha

Such a gathering would certainly mean the Wolftime is here :D

I'm really having a hard time picking my favorite mini in DV8's company with respect to the rank and file. The Ragnar conversion is probably my favorite HQ.

I would have agree on the Ragnar! but also his true-scale Ulrik the Slayer! my two most favorites in his army :)

Thanks for all the kind words! It really has been a journey and a labor of love working on this army since the new Space Wolves Codex came out. There's certainly more I want to add to the army (Thunderlords, Razorbacks, more Long Fangs, more Grey Hunters, etc.), but I'll certainly be doing that slowly. For sure I want to add a Dreadnought or two (purely for aesthetics...I'd never field one), but I'd want to get some Multi-meltas for it. Maybe Forgeworld?

It's a tough call in all respects. There's aspects of every single model that I love, from something as big as the posing, to something as small as the angle of the helmet with relation to the weapon or the shoulder, etc.

 

The Ulrik unfortunately doesn't stand in the ranks of my Great Company. It was a commission and has been at its new home for more than a year already (since the Golden Bolter competition).

Definitely my favorite HQ is Ragnar Blackmane. He's just epic, but it's a pity that I never field him in my army lists (it's usually the two Rune Priests). In fact, he hasn't seen the battlefield in over a year, and I only really pull him out for Apocalypse games (where I give him the Legion Relic and charge him straight at the enemy).

 

My favorite Long Fang is this guy hefting the Heavy Bolter. It's my favorite of all the Space Marine heavy weapons, for just how beefy and chunky it is; as if the big bolts weren't enough, he can club the enemy to death if he so chose! Coupled with the posing, and the rebreather head makes him just absolutely menacing. "Come get some!"

 

My favorite scout is the Meltagunner, because he's posed like he's rounding a corner while tracking for targets. It's a simple pose/model and paintjob, but there's a lot of movement in the model. His top knot reinforces the turning motion.

 

My favorite Wolf Guard, equipped with a Power Fist and Combi-Flamer. There's a subtlety to this model, like he's just waiting for you to walk forward and take a backhand from his fist. The helmet hidden behind the gorget is a plus (I love that chest piece) and I love the way he grips the Combi-Flamer .

 

My favorite Grey Hunter is based off an Ultramarine Tyrannic War Veteran. Shaved off the huge "U" on his chest and legs (that was a downright pain) and a simple paintjob followed. But there's a story there and because he's one of the few bare-heads in my mechanized army, he certainly "pops" in the sea of grey.

 

Very nice DV8, as always you succeed in impressing us! But am I right that I can see both Ragnar's and Logan's Great Company markings?

 

You would be correct. My army is split about halfway between Ragnar's Company and Logan's Company. However, as the majority of my Wolfwing army is Wolf Guard, I can just explain away that Logan has seconded his elite to Ragnar for the duration of a campaign or something. I dunno.

 

Plus I already had the Forgeworld transfer sheets and the custom dice made up for Logan's Company so I had to use it somehow!

I don't care much about who has it now. IMHO, it's still your work, creativity and vision.. you made it, and its yours to claim as a hobbyist/artist forever. No matter who owns it now! I will still consider it as yours, as it is a great work of art. You sir, are a master with a black belt in this hobby hahaha keep up the good work!

And perhaps get some more pictures of that Titan up! :D

Damn you DV8...!!!! I just been getting my own Space Wolves ready for the UK Throne of Skulls April. Now seen your own army given me some idea, I got two week & barely any money left!!

 

Great seen the army together. It stuff like this that remind me why I enjoy come to the fourms, it to see cool looking armies & tournament report (in this case cool looking army <_< ) not to see people moan about the hobby.

 

Alway like see your Space Wolves, really great army.

Spikyjames is going to the Throne of Skulls April with me. So I could talk to him about possible having both of our armies set up. Or who know I might be drawn to battle him again like I did in the GT 2009 in Nottingham Warhammer World.

There are times it does suck living in Canada. Having shut down most of their tournament circuits and the Canadian Games Day, the only real outlet for my hobby is the local GW and the occasional local tournament. One of these days we should actually organize a meet and greet and get all our Space Wolf armies on the table. :)

 

This is really fantastic and inspirational!

Awesome DV8. Absolutely awesome. I can't even properly comprehend the amount of work that must have gone into that.

 

I started the army give or take on March 1, 2009. So the army's been a work in progress for 2 years and a month now.
