Mr. Danvers Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah, you make a good point. It's the wolf I really like I think. But yes, the conversion shouldnt be required for that price.

Marmande Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Wolf Lord is fine unless you have a pervasive need to have your space vikings look like European supermodels. I do like that they've made some company-specific models like the standard bearer for Ragnar and Harald Deathwolf in the Wolf Lord.

Wulfebane Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If that's intended to be Harald Deathwolf, then I am seriously disappointed. The wolf looks great but the overall presence doesn't hold a candle to Canis who is suppose to be a WG under Harald. If its not Harald, then im confused, since each company only gets one Lord, so why would this guy sport the Deathwolf emblem. At most, I would label this guy as a WG BL 2nd in command under Canis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247568-march-sw-releases/page/6/#findComment-2998762 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azatoth Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I find it interesting that the sculptor made the wolf heads so they resemble the actual SW icon. Good idea.

German speakers here could clarify this, btw. Todeswolf means deathwolf indeed. However, I found this disturbance in the force err codex very intriguing. When I read the name Harald at first, I couldn't recognise it in the German dex, so I checked a few forums on this. Basically they(GW) just changed a few things and now Leif Todeswolf is Harald Deathwolf...everything's fine. ;) Nice minis, btw!

bareserker Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Great Wolves Of Fenris all still have CR*P models , I dont believe it .

Tsuro Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 How has no one complained about Arjac's arms coming out of his head yet? I mean terminators are always somewhat hunchbacked, but this now sets the standard. I urge anyone buying this model, please mount them lower down the torso. It's a pretty awful pose too. What's he meant to be doing? On the plus side, his hammer is obviously meant to be thrown so the sculptor gets points there. And I like the tongs on his belt (a bionic arm would have been better though) I must say, I wasn't expecting the general quality of the models to be as low as they are; the new Njal and Lukas were pretty good sculpts but these? what happened in the design studio?

On the lord note I was sceptical because of the price but I love the wolf, I will need to remove his head though. I may be a heretic in preferring my wolves with helm, mostly. Off topic I must ask at some point if there is any easy way to remove tigris' head as he would make a great rune priest once he has been dipped to remove the ultramarine smell.

Orphus Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 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. But...but...I converted the prices! I used a website, I...I......forgot to add the extra 40% or so GW slogs on us Aussies <_< I'll fix it later :( How has no one complained about Arjac's arms coming out of his head yet?

Marmande Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think it's more of a question of where the picture was taken, as I sorta see Arjac in the middle of winding up to either swing or throw his hammer, causing him to lean forward. Same thing happened when the Vulkan model was released.

German speakers here could clarify this, btw. I'm German so I'll translate : left: just a remark about the fancy wolf head on the shield right: "This Wolf Lord bears the company insignia of Leif Deathwolf (= Harald Deathwolf in English according to Lexicanum)". As Cain already pointed out each Great Company only has a single Wolf Lord so this might either be a crappy translation (which happens all the time with GW-Germany, none of the other branches would ever translate Dreadnought into Cybot, Imperial Guard into Imperial Army or Obliterators into Kyborgs) or the WD-GB- stuff just doesn't care much about the fluff or that guy is actually supposed to be Harald Deathwolf.

Runepriest2007 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 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? The goblin wolfrider wolves look like wolves......not something that looks like it hasn't eaten in weeks. Take the goblin wolves, and increase their size to fit a marine (keeping the proportions equal due to the increased size). The things that make them coyote-ish are the narrow ears, legs that don't have a lot of muscle mass, narrow muzzle profile. I've seen plenty of wolves and coyotes, and IMO, these sculpts are more coyote than not. That being said, props to GW for attempting to do this, but I'm afraid they missed the mark again. I don't like them, but many do. So be it - not everyone has the same tastes in things (that would make life really boring :D ) Runepriest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247568-march-sw-releases/page/6/#findComment-2998990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
styygens Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I guess haters are going to hate. I'm planning on picking one or two packs of Fenris Wolves. Also, these models just sold me on Thunderwolf Cavalry. I'm adding some to my collection. My wallet will hate me.

In the obligetary blunt answer... YES! every other chapter got a nice new proper TDA libby but nooo we get stuck with the semi-2D effigy from 3ed.
