Recommended Posts

OOOWWWHHH YE DOUBTERS & SCOFEERS ! ! ! HALLELUYAH ITS RAINING WOLVES !!!!!!!!!!

..."And the Wolves of Fenris shall rain forth from the sky and bring terror in the maw of their beasts...their fluffy, fluffy beasts.

 

And further more they are DECENT looking beasts !

That they are!

 

ALES ALL ROUND !

And I'm breaking out the rum tommorow!

 

This is bad...

 

For my wallet!

 

Can those TWC be any better, at this point? They look great; I just wish I could use them, as I run Logan, and can't really see how having TWC and a TWLord would work into the, "public face" Great Company of Wolves.

 

Unless I try to squeeze them in as an extra, that comes out when not in full view of the Imperium's forces...

 

Very bad for mine...I need a job

 

nooo im going to have to wait a week to get my hands on these. Mother why did you have to be born on the release of TWC!? WHYYYY?!

OMGXDAERWTHGX that's so harsh! Laughing more than I should. I still have things to buy for people too.

 

Suffer not the bank account to live

purge the wallet

kill the social life

 

I swear by this oath of moment

DEAD Absolutly dead...if I was in need of a new sig I swear that would be it!!!

 

These are better than I could have hoped. Very mobile looking in their stance too.

 

*I had to edit out the emoticons because together there were too many *dissapointed face*

Read the new White Dwarf, The Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf is described as being from Harald Deathwolf's company.

 

I thought the only Wolf Lord in his company was Harald Deathwolf... :lol:

 

So either they stuffed up or...oh well, I think that's unlikely ;)

$50 for 3 TWC is also really not so bad, I was expecting $30 for 1.

Oh, and here's the new stuff converted from GBP into AUD for all us down under:

 

BAHAHA, wishful thinking if i ever did see it. Our $ is pretty much on par with the US and getting much closer to the pund but that dont mean AUS prices wil match up. An Aussie land raider is $103 for christs sake. Arent the american ones around 60 usd?

 

Aussies can expect to pay WAY more for this new wolfy goodness.

Think I like the wolf more than the rider but its his face that puts me off

 

the banner bearer is a must have

cyber wolf is so so

I was hoping for a larger shield and tbh I'm inclined to maybe cast the design and put it onto a shaved down Lysander shield, as it just doesn't speak "Anvil Shield" to me, although I do like the pose and model, think I'll change the head though.

While we celebrate the new releases and FINALLY getting the last of our 5th ed. stuff...

 

Please have a moment of silence for the loss of our greatest weapon, the Bjorn in a sock.

 

LOL!! I have to quote this, too funny!!

 

I like the sculpt of the WL's wolf (as much as I can see it), but I am not liking the pose very much. I do hope he can be maneuvered around for a better looking model.

 

End of Line

I'm going to go against the grain here, and state that these "wolves" look more like anorexic coyotes than wolves. In my personal opinion, I don't think any of the designers/sculptors at GW have even seen a real wolf.

 

How do they compare to Goblin Wolfrider wolves?

 

And what makes them more "coyote-ish" than "wolfish"- narrow muzzle? Pointier ears?

 

Considering how close coyotes and wolves are in appearence, does it really matter that much?

do think any of them have legs thats thin or ears that big

Man, I'm really unimpressed with all the finecast releases. I think the prices are really killing any interest I'd have in them; The wolflord, wolf is nice, rider is bleh. The Cyberwolf, it was awfully swindly of GW to release that model in FC when a couple of bits added in the plastic kit would have done the trick. Arjac, after Darren Latham's conversion, that model is crap. And the banner bearer really just doesn't grab me, and for that price it should.

Agreed, the Finecast stuff is not so impressive. For the cost of the Wolf Lord I would have had to really like it, and I don't. I also don't like Arjac - the shield is much too small, I don't like the pose of the hammer (though that can be changed easily enough), and the face doesn't excite me. The only thing really good about the Standard bearer is the big banner, but I've already converted mine with banners from Fantasy sets (I recommend Marauder Horsemen and Chaos Warriors).

 

So, Thunderwolf Cav and Fenrisian Wolves: thumbs up, all the Finecast stuff: thumbs down.

I guess I'll do these seperately.

 

GH with banner - Meh. I won't even go near the price tag. It's a nice little option, but I'm sure people already just got the banner arms from the command squad box to do this. I just drilled holes in the backpacks of my GH and put the banner from the pack box on a peg so I could detach it when it had been 'used' in a game. It's an ok model, but if I was going to buy it, it'd be for a conversion.

 

Arjac - I think this one is possibly the most disappointing for me. His shield looks smaller than the normal SS from the termy box, which given he's meant to have a better shield, is a bit weird. The Thor style hammer with the wrist strap is a lovely touch :sweat:. You can really see the similarity between the codex art and this model, but I don't see myself picking this guy up.

 

Cyberwolf - Nice looking model, but I share the same opinion as others - this should have been in the box with a few extra bits. I understand the whole 'people don't need lots of Cyberwolves' arguement that GW uses for characters being (in the past) metal etc. I'll prob grab a pair of these for my packs.

 

Wolf Lord on TWC - I really like this model. It needs a bit of conversion work, but as a base I think it's great. Definitely need to change the head and the company shoulder. It's really going to depend on what bits he comes in. Hopefully the rider is seperate and you can chop and change with the plastic guys. If he's moulded like Canis with the fused torso and wolf I'm not sure if I'll buy it. For a wolf lord he seems pretty 'plain' to me. He seems to blend into the TWC squad a little too well - there's nothing that really makes him stand out as a Lord to me.

I like the thunderwolves and that's it. The standard bearer is totally meh, Arjac's shield does not ring anything in me - where's that bloody huge piece of adamantine? Also, Logan's Champion ought to have much more bling IMO. Wolves are so so, but the sad thing is that my Goblin Wolfrider Wolves go straight to the shelf - the issue with bases is obvious.... Thunderwolf Lord is quite good, but the price is disgusting. So it will not hit my wallet too bad. Hopefully :sweat:

That Arjac doesn't look like the artwork in his codex entry. Pretty much anything except the anvil looks different and worse. Someone obviously thought that using the head of the village chief in Resident Evil 4 as inspiration was a bright idea *sigh*.

And I just can't like the round Frisbee shield and the static pose. I'm pretty sure you can build a better looking one which closer to the artwork without much effort using a TDA-WG-box.

Wolf Lord on TWC - I really like this model. It needs a bit of conversion work, but as a base I think it's great.

 

Therein lies the worst issue. For the price they charge, conversion work should be purely optional, and not near a requirement based on the blandness of the sculpt, once you finally find a workable cast of the model you purchased.

 

So much more could have been done with a plastic WL on TWM kit, and we got one... in the TWC box. :(
