jamesknouse Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have been dabbling in other forums posting my stuff and trying to get a feel for which 40k forum is home to me. I have decided BC is my home. So without further ado... This is my Space Wolf army the Direwolves. They are officially led by a Venerable Dreadnaught known as Wolf Mother but unofficially led by an Iron Priest. Other colorful characters are mixed throughout. The 30k era concept portion of the army will be led by Bjorn the Fell handed and his Varangi bodyguard led by Thengir wielding the Spear of Russ. The 40k era concept will be led by Wolf Mother and an Iron Priest army will be guiding the ancient Direwolves back to Mars and Holy Tera after nearly 10k years of looking for Leman Russ. The reason for their return is unknown. What is known is they are heading straight for Mars with set of scrolls found in a lost temple among lifeless planets of the Ghoul Stars. They fight friend and foe alike in their quest back to Mars and all attempts at communication fail and are returned with one simple response back “For Him”. What special cargo do the Direwolves carry? Only time will tell. Enjoy. My Iron Priest concept. I am pleased with what I came up with so far and barring a few bitz this is him. Enjoy. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2034.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2048.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2042.jpg Servo Arms http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2040.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245681-direwolves-wip-40k30k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow, that's nuts! I like him. Is he destined for the table or display? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245681-direwolves-wip-40k30k/#findComment-2971633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesknouse Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/IronBolter.jpg The Priest carries a bolter and a Thunder Hammer... Way to much to carry! I converted a Storm Bolter, Mechanicus artifact (A targeter in my world due to the bionic eye), and a Space Wolf Bolter. The reason the Iron Priest cant hold his Bolter... http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Axe.jpg Wow, that's nuts! I like him. Is he destined for the table or display? All models will be played and played hard! For Russ and the All Father! I gave him a “Bionic Wolf head on a wire” if you can see it on the top left. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2041.jpg Rocking out with his Bolter out! His Bolter was mounted below his torso. I always thought holding a Bolter and wielding a huge Thunder Hammer was a little much even for Runic Armour. I thought the Mechanicus Bionic eye worked well as a targeter for the Bolter. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2036.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2039.jpg The “Thunder Ax”. An Iron Priest needs an ax AND a hammer right? http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Iron%20Priest/Videotext2037.jpg The lovely pets The Cyberwolves.

jamesknouse Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Grey Hunters The MOtW, Standard bearer, and Melta Gun. This Brother Wolf and his squad were charged with holding down a city street intersection and were attacked by a battle wagon of Burner Boyz. After taking Small arms and hits from flame throwers he unleashed his Melta exploding the wagon. His squad was then assaulted by mobs of Orcs. When the smoke cleared the Orc dead were in the dozens and he found himself the lone survivor of his squad. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/aff02b1b.jpg As a reward for his service he was gifted a sought after Wolf helmet of which he hasn’t taken off in decades. His true name has been lost to myth and he is known now simply as the Sun Wolf, Hero of the Battle of 4 Corners. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/7102a9ab.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/b8e03ba7.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/af237758.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/a4cb343f.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/Wolf%20Troops/1f65503d.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245681-direwolves-wip-40k30k/#findComment-2972431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesknouse Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is a little story teaser that a friend wrote about my army. I had to share it! Thank you Da Vinci... The Dire Wolves A junior officer runs through corridors and up metal gantry ways her feet clanging on worn metal. Out of breath and pushing herself hard sweat dropping from her brow to the command deck and to her watch commander. The doors wish open on ancient mechanisms, the deck officers look up from their stations to see the sight of a junior officer and her distress. “stop” shouts the command officer. Just what do you think you are doing in this unseemly manner”. She hands him a print out and he looks at the data. His face drops and he starts to stutter. “ What? What? What, the hell is this?” Sir a large battle cruiser called the Orman Lange has just entered the Sol system and is stationed at Pluto waiting for our reply. It is a type not seen since the great crusade. No Astropathic communication whatsoever. They are using ancient imperial codes and they are valid. They say they will not wait for long before they continue. What should I do? After many millennia, the Legio Canis are re-entering the heart of the imperium and the sol system. They have travelled far and long. To continue their search they have taken the help of the mechanicum allies on board and utilised the arcane arts to prolong their lives. Inducted into the secrets and accepting the duality of the emperor with the Omnisiah the dire wolves part man part machine have now returned with a great treasure. It is crated and under the strictest security and care lest any dare to seek its contents. They now speed to Holy Mars to deliver this object and perhaps unlock its secrets.

jamesknouse Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is Wolf Mother... The Official Venerable dreadnought of the Dire Wolves. Wolf Mother is one of the last of the Varangi sent by Bjorn to search for Russ. He is full of blood lust and the long years has driven him close to insanity in his quest for the Great Wolf. His body long destroyed by the eons has been rebuilt many times by the Great Iron Priests and the Adeptus Mechanicus Legio Canis Dirus. He is a beast or Terror and a bane to the enemies of the All Father. http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/9bb4624d.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/ea3389d7.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/4cfee45a.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/b6a7819f.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/9f43765d.jpg http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz173/jamesknouse/space%20wolf/d1e74551.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245681-direwolves-wip-40k30k/#findComment-2982343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
