Hi here are some my wolves which are near complete but I am have been looking at the GIANT BASES that come with the thunderwolves and thinking that they make a great opportunuty for mini diorama and wanted to do a few dismounted ones my ideas so far have been to have one of the riders wrestling with a jump pack marine on the floor who has dismounted him

 

A guy kneeling looking at some tracks

 

a guy collecting a trophy from dead body

 

a guy leaping from his mount to attack a chaos marine

 

 

so want do you think?

do you have any other ideas?

For the comical value - Having a SW cleaving through a 'traitor' dark angel as he rides past..

 

You could always have a Fenrisian wolf on the same base following..

 

Hunting spear thrust through the head of some particular army you dislike or an enemy your proud of slaying.

Ha! Up here for thinking, eh? ;)

 

Hmmm.

Maybe one walking his mount, as you see with a rider and horse.

 

Another could be the Marine hanging on the side of his mount, as per Native American tactics.

 

Just spit balling :P

I've been planning something similar. But I was thinking of using mounted shield maidens instead of space marines. Something akin to the actual Valkyries of myth and legend, before they were all portrayed and now mainly known and view by many with riding horses. People have enough trouble believing a giant wolf being ridden by a super human in a few tons of power armour. My plan was to have mounted shield maidens, while the actual Wolf Guard is either running beside the thunderwolf.

Yeah it does help with the disbelievers who cant accept gentically enhanced aliens from a deathworld that look like wolves carrying marines

I like this idea

I certainly wanted to include trophies of those my Twolves had killed in game so GK, BA DE nids and guard + have ordered some trophies from ebay just waiting for them to arrive

 

I certainly had been thinking of some spears/lances

 

Just spit balling

lol now i want a SW spitballing his tobacco but are my greenstuff skills upto it not sure they are

 

edit maybe even spitballing a fleeing enemy off his feet

For a comic sceen how about remodeling the TW so hes cocking his leg and taking a leak over a dead enemy.

 

Your wolf looking good so far brother. Be good to see what you come up with.

LOL just need to work out how to do golden stream and thx

 

 

added Vallejo black brown and burnt umber to the top

Very nice Thunderwolf you got there brother, keep up the good work!

For the base you could also display missed shots aimed at the charging TW with little bursts of sand or the like to highlight the speed of the charge, at least that's what I'll try and the only sound idea I have so far.

Would love to see these when they are done

This is a statue titled "End of the Trail" that we have in our Cowboy Hall of Fame museum out here in Oklahoma. One of the most inspirational pieces I've seen:

Wouldn't know how that translates to a battered Vlka Fenryka on a Wolf Mount, but just some food for thought.

update

 

have added graveyard earth highlight

 

and started on to two wrestling in the earth and kneeling wolf guard

So far the component parts of the two wrestling on the floor

I have used the 1k head from the TWC pack and am going to have the chainsaw going in to missing part of the head and have the severed hand crawling like face hugger

I have assembled my two fightning in the dirt with the chainsword going into the helmet and the claw going into the hole I cut out of the shield

unfinshed paint jobs so far just wanted the details in the hard to get places so the exposed areas need the most work

 

trying to work out whether to have them side by side, the space wolf perched on his pack with legs i the air like he has just hit the ground or as they are in the photo?

  • 3 weeks later...

Update trying to work out if they are better falling of the wolf or wrestling in the snow and whether to change the Chaos backpack into heresy style jump pack i have from FW

Argh. I hate to say what I'm going to because its all looking really good.

 

Thousand son marines are all Rubrics. Basically automatons who follow what ever their assigned sorcerer demands they do. Their armour is basically hollow except for the ash remains of the body and the warp energy which keeps them moving. The only ones which would have mutations as such are the sorcerers who shun hand to hand.

 

But....please feel free to ignore me as the minis looking great.
