arizonajirt Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 So i had a thought, which at times is very scary. I was thinking that since a lone wolf is the last surviving member of his pack, is it too far fetched to believe that the lone wolf was gerviously injuried and augmented with boinics. I dont know how the space wolves feel about bionics on themselves. I had picked up the forge world space marine character upgrade kit and it comes with lots of bionics and was thinking of building a lone wolf with lots of boinics to show that he was hurt pretty bad in that battle where he lost his brothers and was fix/rebuilt using the bionics. thoughts on this? thanks.

MalachiOfRuss Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I think it sounds cool and fits the fluff of a Lone Wolf. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239870-bionic-lone-wolf/#findComment-2894034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontline989 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sounds bad ass to me. Also maybe he was not promoted to wolf guard because the Wolf Lord thinks the bionics have made him souless.

I dont know how the space wolves feel about bionics on themselves. Space Wolves don't have a problem with bionics. Why would they? They certainly don't have a problem with going beyond bionics and incarcerating a hero into a Dreadnought sarcophagus. In fact, one of the older out of production models was a Wolf Guard with a bionic leg. Will try to find a picture of him somewhere.

I've got that model with a Jump Pack on him. It's not a very good model, IMO. The proportions are way off.

arizonajirt Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 So I went with the Bionic leg and left arm for my lone wolf. I gave him a bolter and a wolf claw for his loadout. am going to test this out one day and see how it goes. there may be some changes to come though. once I figure out how to upload pictures to this site ill add some.

Why a Bolter? Lone Wolves live for close combat, and you can't charge after shooting a Bolter; that weapon would be about last on my list for things to give an LW.

Also, and the above comments support this, any LW model is a prime example as to why magnetizing different armaments is a good idea.

MalachiOfRuss Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What? Not a good model. the old wolf gaurd models were great, they had more of presence than the souless plastic one you get now. Perhaps. But as I said, the proportions look way off on the model. The legs are far too small in relation to the torso, and the head is too large for both.

arizonajirt Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 In thinking I'll change the bolter out for a storm shield. I want to keep the bionic arm so that will work out forme just fine. Thanks for everyone's imput. If you have another suggestions please let me know. I'm a verynew wolf player and am still building the army.

WG Vrox Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 the old wolf gaurd models were great, they had more of presence than the souless plastic one you get now. I disagree, plastic models allows you to cut, bend, kit bash and repose in a infinite variety of ways, in essence they allow you to make a unique model that no one else will have. To help give them the soul you speak of is a matter of crafty imagination and time. Tips, Buy one of those pose-able wooden figures that artists use and use him as a guide to for a template. Cut and repose the arms and hands to fit your desired position. Standard legs can be reposed if need be. Find a head that has the best facial expression to fit the pose making sure to aim the head in the direction of the gun and/or action. Add bits and Green Stuff as desired. After which I find each marine ends up with their own personality that once painted will count as a converted model for judging purposes.

Wardiel Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Good call Vrox, that's something that many people do, but sometimes it needs to be said. Even without chopping and repositioning, you can give a dynamic look to a model by thinking ahead, dryfitting, using blutac, etc. Thinking about what he's looking at, what his arms are doing is the biggest benefit over the old static posed "marine with bolter" and gives the opportunity to make each model dynamic. Hopefully the storm shield doesn't hide his roboarm. Definitely get some pics up. Play around with the albums on your user settings here, can add the img to the album and post it that way. It will give you the proper code for the post on the album page.

Wulfebane Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 ...using blutac, etc. I sometimes build entire squads in blutac before gluing/painting. In fact, I have atleast 5 random models sitting in my case that have battled in games completely joined by blutac.

MalachiOfRuss Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I second the blutac. I've had many times when the pose I thought would look good just didn't turn out that way, or found some incompatibility between the model and what I wanted out of the pose (big wolf hair coming out of the helmet hitting the backpack when I put it on). I'll often try out different heads, especially, to see what seems most "natural" for the model. I'm a big fan of having "realistic" looking poses.

I stole his head and his pelt to make my very first Wolf Lord, back when the 2nd Edition codex was released.

TiguriusX Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I know I am a bit late to this thread but back to the subject of bionics. Berek Thunderfist was named "Thunderfist" due to his bionic arm + power fist When he died Ragnar Blackmane was elected the new Wolf Lord.

arizonajirt Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 So I have the model built now, just need to get it primed, painted and photos taken. I went with a Lone Wolf (who would have guessed) in power armor, wolf claw on the right arm, the left leg and arm are the forge world bionic bits from the character upgrade kit, and a storm shield on the left arm. to make it where the bionics are still visible, I shaved the hand off the back of the storm shield and mounted it to the front of the hand as if the model is holding it in front of him. I was also considering adding two "pet Wolves" to go along with him. are they worth it?
