Skagen42 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hey all long time lurker - not so much poster, so i figured id chime in a bit on what ive been working on.. I started with the wolves in 3rd edition and have keept at it ever since, my first army was made during 3rd and assembled and painted up back then now more then 10 years ago, and it shows even though i still like em :D http://i49.tinypic.com/35mkw49.jpg This was the army i played with most of the time even though it was quite a lot bigger then whats in the picture :0) A few of my favorite models : Wolf Lord on bike with frost axe - Rune Priest with Chooser of the slain and offcourse a Ven Dread http://i45.tinypic.com/b67a84.jpghttp://i50.tinypic.com/xlm3hk.jpghttp://i49.tinypic.com/24zho5d.jpg I really loved my bikes and especially attack bikes and found some nice conversion options with the quad: http://i46.tinypic.com/mwcozm.jpg and the normal blood claw bikers offcourse : http://i46.tinypic.com/2vdlnye.jpg Then we got the awsome NEW plastic Grey hunter box and a lot of new modelling options opens up, and phrases such as "Pre-heresey" start comming up around the interwebs ;) Im not claiming my new models adher to the "Pre-heresey" style .. I will say im imspired by what i read in the Horus Heresey Novels and Battle for the Fang, and what other great modellers have achived around the web, and have taken what i liked and made it my own.. Here are a few pictures of my *New* Space wolf army -Work in progress- Enjoy :0) Basic Grey Hunters : http://i47.tinypic.com/23j2tkj.jpghttp://i45.tinypic.com/m93w9i.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/104lovd.jpg Long Fangs : http://i45.tinypic.com/155thqq.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/2lcsebk.jpghttp://i48.tinypic.com/30iko3p.jpg And finally my latest creation - a rune priest based on the old Njall Stormcaller model which i allways loved, although hated his pose. http://i48.tinypic.com/34i2t8n.jpg Any and all feedback appreciated :) Cheers ~Skagen42 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagen42 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks for the feedback :) Heres a little update - My new Lone Wolf http://i47.tinypic.com/110yp3t.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/1oxbh3.jpg Hope you like him, took quite a while to get to where he is now and still not 100% done with the GS work on the wolf cape but its being done in layers. First the model itself and then then the fur here and there.. but i think it looks ok as it is now :) Any and all feedback appreciated !

Skagen42 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks :) Great Stuff. My favourites have to be the quads! Where did you get them from or did you build them up? The Quads are homemade actually, 2 bikes some plastic card and some Wire for the gun canopy. Sadly dont use em much anymore now that we cant make attack bike units anymore which is a shame really..

Skagen42 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Update ! :D Now this has been a work in progress over some time now, and as you might have seen from my previous pictures I like to try and keep the "wolf cloak" theme as I think it suits the Space Wolves so nice, and the options modelling wise with the chaos warrior bodies lends itself very nice to space wolf conversions as has been shown by many modellers all over the net, I claim no ownership or originality of the idear, I might be the only one (as far as Ive seen so far) thats pushing it out to a whole army, and as such it gives me some modelling and artistic challenges .. how to make long fangs ? how to make bikers ? Thunderwolf cavalery ? blood claws ? with or without jump packs ? So far Ive just been tackeling it one unit at a time from what I know I want to have an what I think would be fun to model :0) Grey hunters and Long Fangs were the easy part, although I wasent 100% happy with my Long fangs, so I found some of my old school Long fang models, you might remembver the old box with 5 metal models in it ? :) and some quality time with my hobby saw and some green stuff these 2 squads emerged :0) : http://i45.tinypic.com/2d8gsxv.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/207t1c9.jpg And a special sarge for one of the squads with the old sarge head :) http://i47.tinypic.com/jaf0hu.jpg A group shot of the marines and what not ive assembled so far : http://i45.tinypic.com/2h2qj4y.jpg And for my latest creation ... my prototype Thunderwolf "guy" .. My biggest challenge, how to recreated the "wolf cloak" look and still sit on the wolf ? .. I had a try with using the chaos model cloak and break it off mid way down and greenstuff the gap.. but it never really looked right to me.. so after scouring the bits sites for some hours I found the high elf plastic white lion set.. and they come with some quite nice back sides with lion pelts on them.. a few bits orders later and bobs your uncle and this guy was born.. http://i46.tinypic.com/2qippoz.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/1zd6mir.jpg Im not 100% done with the GS yet, but its 99% I think .. I think it goes well together with the other guys .. after all not all the wolf pelts need to be the same type imo, so .. next challenge will be Skyclaws.. to cape or ? - as usuall all comments and critcism welcomed and appreciated !

Wulfebane Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 No cape.. it'd end up a charred mess. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/#findComment-3235503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah, capes don't really go with Jump Packs. A question, if I may; Where did you get all those Wolf-head backpacks? THe only places I've seen them available is the old metal upgrade sprue and a handful of special characters in power armor. Is there some source I don't know of? They're not in the Space Wolves pack or the Thunderwolves box, and those are the only places to get plastic space wolves bits these days.

Skagen42 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 A question, if I may; Where did you get all those Wolf-head backpacks? Certainly :blink: You can still buy the old space wolf bitz frame from GW, and it has not only the backpack, but also a meltagun and a lot of other nice bits for a pretty ok price I think, compared to their other products at least :P And yes - I'm leaning towards no capes on the skyclaws aswell :) Cheers for the comments. ~Skagen42 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/#findComment-3235626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squark Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nice. I'm jealous of anyone who can get any details onto Green Stuff (Frankly, I consider myself lucky if I can keep my finger prints off it), but I really like all the little details you added. Where did the axe bit come from, by the way? And are those forgeworld shoulder pads, or something else entirely?

Skagen42 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Where did the axe bit come from, by the way? And are those forgeworld shoulder pads, or something else entirely? Thanks :) The axe is actually the axe from the thunderwolf kit and then combined with the left arm + storm bolter and shaft from the grey knight terminator with halberd set. The shoulderpads are from Maxi mini :0) Cheers ~Skagen42 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/#findComment-3237236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagen42 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 More Axemen join the ranks :) http://i46.tinypic.com/344eesg.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/23l0eu.jpg and a shot of the 3 boys so far B) 2 more to go to complete the squad ! http://i46.tinypic.com/derxwp.jpg Thinking about making some cloaks for all of them, different offcourse, to go with my overall theme of my army of very heavy fur and cloaked wolves B) All comments and critiscism welcome :) Cheers ! ~Skagen42 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/#findComment-3241743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagen42 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Another Axeman joins the ranks .. This time to not have them all look too alike, its not a 2 handed pose.. http://i50.tinypic.com/wl2g4g.jpg Dont have any more shoulder pads atm so cant make the last guy for the squad, I did order some more so hopefully I will get the unit completed soon :) But Here is a pic of the 5 guys I have completed so far all together : 4 Wolf Guards and 1 Lone wolf, although he could be used as both a guard or a HQ if need be. http://i45.tinypic.com/2djp388.jpg Now I think I'll try and wrap my head around either some Skyclaws or Swiftclaws - if anyone have some input on how to do either in a cool and "pre-heresy-kinda-way" Especially if it involves wolf pelts/furs/cloaks or whatnot.. please leave a note :) Cheers for all the comments, critisicm is as allways welcome :) ~Skagen42 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262702-my-space-wolf-army-new-and-old/#findComment-3244444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
