Grizzly Adams Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 So I was painting my Thunderwolf Lord, and I finished painting his Great Co. symbol on his left pad, flipped him around and got ready to paint his right pad and then the ol mind went blank. What goes there? Usually, its the pack marking, but does that change for the Wolf Lord? Do you just make up a pack marking for him, or is there supposed to be somethin else there? Now, I know its my model and I can paint whatever I want on there, but what I am lookin for is if there is anything canonical or whatnot that is supposed to go there. If it is a pack marking, what colors are they supposed to be? thanks in advance brothers!

Emperor's Scourge Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You could: use one of the textured pads in our boxes, freehand a battle scene, or use the pack marking of whichever unit you generally join the IC too. I personally stick a Mark V shoulder pad on. I have a few of those lying around from my vanilla marine boxes. I put a Deathwatch pad on my Rune Priest.

Grizzly Adams Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well the suck part is I am using the canis model, and his pads are part of the arm :wacko: I may find a pelt or something to cover it, I dunno Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235074-right-shoulderpad-on-your-wolf-lord/#findComment-2830692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I used a skull and 2 of the cruxes on chains that come with the SW terminator box http://members.home.nl/maxdammit/40k/TWM/Done/ThunderLord_2_done.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235074-right-shoulderpad-on-your-wolf-lord/#findComment-2830704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Scourge Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ahh, I cut off Canis' pads to magnetize them because I had no intention of giving my TWL dual wolf claws.

MonSTeR Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 i use Ragnar Blackmane's company so it's a moot point, but... for my wolf guard instead of individual pack markings I simply reverse the company marking for the right shoulder pad. That gives them a unifrom look and one that I think suits the higher ranking soldiers well. A sort of "this whole company is my pack" idea.

Wulfebane Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The GW sculptors have been very careful not to give us any detail on the two special character wolf lord models' right shoulder. We only have Ragnar and Logan, and where Logan is often painted with the "The Wolf That Stalks Between Stars" emblem of Leman Russ, Ragnar simply has a pelt draped over it. The approach for Ragnar is how I would go about it. I'd use the right shoulderpad as a sort of canvas for trinkets, totems, pelts and runic markings.

Levitas Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I would say some sort of honor marking, trinkets etc. I went for the skull and parchment, so I could write his name... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5fH_t_ckK8/TcvdDtGTqdI/AAAAAAAAAbw/9Rhg1X9U0UE/s1600/Eryk_new_front.jpg And honor badge http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x1vt2GUjp_I/S8RkZDrK2tI/AAAAAAAAAIk/2LlTxHocl9g/s1600/Eryk_rightside.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235074-right-shoulderpad-on-your-wolf-lord/#findComment-2831156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks everybody, i Decided to go with a WG Pack Marking, not an expert painter by any stretch, but it works i think, simple and effective. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f9LtmJNp90E/TjBT0Hc_e4I/AAAAAAAAAVs/A8fzqv1RU9s/s400/DSC03145.JPG http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLYUVzMSs6w/TjBTvkfbJ3I/AAAAAAAAAVc/yEuLMEfHPJ8/s400/DSC03141.JPG Bigger pics on My Blog Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235074-right-shoulderpad-on-your-wolf-lord/#findComment-2831171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki-LaughingDeath Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was going to go with a Wolf who Stalks the Stars to represent the fact that he has become a legend that will last with Russ.

Mac the knife Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I always liked the idea of him having both sides with the same iconography unless you use a pad with honor markings because in my view at least a WL's great company is his pack.

DV8 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The logical solution would be to either double-up on the Great Company icon (to echo the "this entire company is my pack" sentiment), or use the Wolf Guard pack icon (once a Wolf Lord is slain, his successor is chosen from amongst the Wolf Guard; thus the Wolf Guard are "his" pack).

DV8 Correct. The Wolf Guard are the elite warriors of the Great Company. They are the pack brothers of the Wolf Lord himself, his companions and his most trusted friends. -- White Dwarf 156 (Dec 1992) Valerian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235074-right-shoulderpad-on-your-wolf-lord/#findComment-2833433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_starrise Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Due to the fact that my wolf lord has venerable dread shinguards as shoulderpads, his right shoulder has 3 scrolls on it which I use to record honors or SC kills.
