Arez Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Seriously. Where are the Long Fangs on the GW website??! Also, whats with the very young looking Wolf Scouts? What treachery is this? LF-you need to get Devastators and wolf them up WS-you got me there. I have a LF box( i actually just opened it to check something lol) and all the LF were, were tac marines with metal heavy weapons and a SW upgrade sprue(im disappointed ) so its actually better that you need to buy the Devastators since they are plastic and plastic is easier to model imo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243433-gw-space-wolf-items/#findComment-2943062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikochet Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 There are no standalone Long Fangs kit, its basically the Space Wolves kit combined with devastator stuff (or other heavy wpn bits), Im afraid.

WeaponAdept Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 So this box no longer exists? http://www.nugaming.com/assets/images/Warhammer40KSpaceWolvesLongFangs.JPG And the Wolf Scout heads that DON'T contradict ALL the fluff? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GxjBboAIo5I/ThiGj8O6gyI/AAAAAAAAA0o/LOLx2hKb-f0/s1600/IMG00904-20110709-2344.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243433-gw-space-wolf-items/#findComment-2943073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikochet Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 No the LF box dont exist no more.

ElDude Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 What Wolf Scout fluff are you referring too? I thought the heads provided in the Space Wolves Pack box looked appropriately grizzled. I know in other Chapters, the scouts are the raw recruits, not yet earning their power armor and bolters, but in the Wolves army, they are veteran loners, equal in service to Grey Hunters.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You should have plenty of spare scout heads from the pack box, given that they aren being used on the power armor models. For the Long Fangs, you can just take a devastator box and add in some spare bits from the pack box.

If you're lucky - you might find it on ebay Griz Lucky how, so your stuck with normal marines sprue with metal 4 metal heavys that make NO sense at all and a old SW sprue that is still for sale on the GW board, yep thats just lucky :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243433-gw-space-wolf-items/#findComment-2943242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So this box no longer exists? http://www.nugaming.com/assets/images/Warhammer40KSpaceWolvesLongFangs.JPG That box essentially still exists as this combined with this, because the bits from the image you linked are outdated now (most especially the heads). The current SW pack box has a fresher and larger variety of bits. Plus, the current Devastator box comes with more heavy weapons than previous era kits, iirc. Honestly, the only good bits from the old SW sprue anymore are the axe, melta gun, and wolf head backpacks.

Hellrender Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes, exactly, Long Fangs are good and easily made with Devastators with spare heads/bitz from grey hunter boxes. Scouts with the normal scout boxes and again bitz from the Grey Hunter box. Thunderwolves, fenrisian wolves and wolf priests are not even existing.

Wulfebane Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 wolf priests are not even existing. How do you figure? Aside from the 2 wolf priest models (Ulrik and the limited edition 2003 WP), the 4 rune priest models (2x Njal models, 1 in PA, 1 in TDA), and the 2 wolf lord models (Logan and Ragnar) you can make essentially any footslogged model from the SW or WGTDA pack box. Need a Wolf Priest? Paint it black. Need a Rune Priest? Use runic bits. Need a Wolf Lord? They look like regular models anyway, til you claim them otherwise (or through shoulder markings, etc). The rest is through conversions since I seldom know anyone to not convert a non-named character.

MeatGrinder Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Trust me, the last thing you want is the metal heavy weapons. Get a Dev box and wolf it up with your spares. The heavy weapon covers most of the model so a few bits here and there and you'll have a fine looking pack.

frostclaw222 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Please! Let's not count the old Ragnar, Ulrik, and PA Njal models. I mean, seriously, they may be almost as old as some of the new players, and those static poses make me sick. No, we don't need Long Fangs. Funkier scouts? You can kitbash them fairly effectively, especially if you use some 3rd party bits to set them apart from the rest. But these HQ models (yes, and the Thunderwolves) are killing me. I'll kitbash a cooler-looking Iron Priest, but for Jervis's sake, can I get a Ragnar that looks furious? An Ulrik that looks like he should be leading a charge? A Njal in PA that doesn't look like a lawn ornament? At this point, I don't care if the thunderwolves look like Canis's ride. I'll hack em up and convert them into something that actually looks somewhat lupine. God knows, it'll be easier than what Dave Taylor had to do when he did six of em in metal....

I bought a bunch of old SW models from a guy and there was a unit of the old LF with metal weapons. I don't like them, the metal weapons make them fall over all the time on anything but a flat surface. I have since built a squad of LF by combining Devs and Wolf Pack and I like them much more.

Ragnar looks like he was sculpted back in RTB01 days. Ulrik has no neck... I'm curious about Dave Taylor and hs wolves...

frostclaw222 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Scroll back a year or two on his blog. Never got to see them in person (he'd gone back to his Blood Pact stuff by then and was working on a fighter when we met), but the guy took five or six metal Canis Wolfborns and literally chop-shopped em. I'm talking limbs cut, snout cut, tails cut, torso cut, greenstuff (and I'm gonna assume, pinning) added, and the guy made them look like for real wolves. Multiple poses, too. Been forever since I looked back at them, but in another few months, I think that's what I'm going to have to do or have done (my conversion fu is weak) to make my TWC, because the present Canis and even most of the secondhand supplier stuff isn't really all the way up to scratch. Some of it's very close, mind you. But this stuff is 100% GW plus greenstuff mods, kitbashed, and beautiful, while still completely tourny-legit. Dave Taylor. You gotta love what he does, and it almost makes you wanna enviously hate the guy. Then you meet him in a brick-and-mortar shop, he whiles away an hour talking to you, and then suggest a good Thai place across the street for dinner, and you really end up wishing you could clone him.

I was talking more of their reluctance to fit together properly. A Njal in PA that doesn't look like a lawn ornament? I love you. That made me spill my drink.
