Loken86 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ***FLUFF TO BE ADDED*** Brothers of the Fang I have begun work on my long wished for Wulfen army (I've waited 6 years to do it) my plan is to build and paint a 1750 force and then add on units from there. I thought I would post my list and get some feed back from all the vets here :huh: HQ Loken Thunderhowl (counts as Canis Wolfborn who is becomming Wulfen)=185 Troops Grey Slayers = 190 2 plasmaguns, power weapon, MotW Grey Slayer =180 flamer, meltagun, power weapon, MotW Grey Slayers =180 flamer, meltagun, power weapon, MotW Heavy Support Long Fangs= 115 5 heavy bolters Long Fangs= 145 2 lascannons, 2 missile launchers Fast Attack Thunderwolf Cavalry=195(Wulfen) power weapon, storm shield Thunderwolf Cavalry= 205(Wulfen) frost axe, storm shield Thunderwolf Cavalry= 205(Wulfen) powerfist, storm shield Elites Wolf Gaurd= 129(Wulfen) terminator armour, frost blades, storm bolters Total =1744 So thats 54 models. I've made a start on the TWC conversions and i'll post pics of them when i'm happy with them(still waiting for parts to arrive). As for basing my army i'm thinking instead of snowy bases i'l use temple style bases like these? http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/temple-...ound-25mm-p-134. As these will go with the fluff for this strike force. All tips and advice earns a free ale or mead on me. I was wondering does Bulvye still lead the 13th and has he become completely Wulfen? and are Rune priest a must in a wolves army? And can Wulfen use drop pods?

reaper_man Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've got one minor comment. The mark of the wulfen on the Thunderwolf Cavalry is redundant. A standard Thunderwolf Cavalry gets 5 rending attacks, with 6 on the charge. With the mark of the wulfen you're paying points to actually give them the potential to be worse than this. With mark of the wulfen you have a 50/50 chance of getting 6 or more attacks on the charge and an equal chance of getting less. If you drop the mark of the wulfen on each of the 3 packs, it gives you 15pts to spend elsewhere on things that would be more useful. Or you could just swap it for melta bombs. Well, thats my advice anyway, you dont need to follow it. Anyway, looking forward to seeing how your army pans out-I do love my wulfen.

postal105 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Fast Attack Thunderwolf Cavalry= 200(Wulfen) MotW, power weapon, storm shield Thunderwolf Cavalry= 210(Wulfen) MotW, frost axe, storm shield Thunderwolf Cavalry= 210(Wulfen) MotW, powerfist, storm shield the ruels for MotW states that you gain no benefit from weapons such as powerfists and frost blades or power weapons in cc so i see 3 wasted peaces of war gear in the thunderwolves.

Loken86 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Brother wolves I had a second go at sculpting my wulfen wolf gaurd i hope these pics show what improvments ive made. http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3409.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3407.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3406.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3405.jpg New scaled shot http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3417.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/DSCF3416.jpg I know there is room for improvement but what do you think?

Jonas Stromclaw Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi Loken, nice work there. Whatever your method is, it works very well. The sculpt seems very well proportioned, if a little big compared to the GW marine(which is really too small anyway, so kudos). 2 comments, pose and armor. That upright pose seems a little too... human for a genetically enhance killing machine turned werewolf. One or two in the army, okay, but mix it up a little throughout the force. Second, there's no armor on the upper body at all. If they went wulfen while in their PA, there would still be shreds of it hanging off them. I'd add in a plate here, vambrace there, not too much just a little. These are just some suggestions, take 'em or leave 'em. Overall, excellent work, makes me wish I could sculpt half as well. Oh, and awesome assault cannon long fang by the way, made me laugh!

Thanks brother glad you like the long fang :P As to the Wulfen il sculp a Vambrace on to him tonight but not to sure how to have armour hanging from him i was thinking maybe a shoulder gaurd but i can't figure out how to do this any ideas my brothers?

Jonas Stromclaw Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Perhaps 'hanging off' was a poor choice of words. Look up pictures of the old GW wulfen models. They were almost fully armored, with a few of them missing plates from the arms. I was thinking something in the middle between that and what you have now. Perhaps one guy still has his breastplate and thigh plates while another has only pauldron (thats a shoulder plate) left. Mix it up a little; after all, variety is the spice of life.

I get what you mean brother I shall try that on my next wulfen. I need to make 22 of these and they will look so much better if as you say they have a differences between them.

I hope he's liked as i enjoyed working on him its also the first time i've attempted to sculpt a Wulfen hand(see thunderhammer) going to try and get some paint on him asap need to try my hand at the grey scheme. I've nearly completed my 1st Grey Slayer squad and im trying to give my bigger wulfen models more of a moving pose then static if this makes sense lol.

Swap the helmeted head for a wulfen one to mach the arm. Also how would a rune priest look in the 13th company would he also be wulfen or still a normal son of Russ?
