Thunder_god Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi all. After a long sabbatical from gaming (losing a job, finding a new one, getting married, etc...it'll do it to you!) I'm finally getting back to building my Space Wolves army. I had a decent amount of the new mini's once upon a time, but the aforementioned lost job meant they went on eBay... Enough of that. My dilemma is simple, but complex. I want an army with character, and I'm fairly decent modeler (see my scratch built thunder hammer peens article in the librarium herein), so converting is part of of the fun. So, do I: A. Go the Forge World Mk.II, IIII, & IV route along with their other sets (Cataphractii, etc...) or, B. Go true scale BIG wolves the Chapterhouse route. I'm planning a foot slogging force and I figure I will end up with roughly 40 Grey Hunters before this over with...expensive no matter which direction I take, I know, it if I'm going to build this army, I'm going to build it the way I want it & be happy with the end result. My biggest reservation about the Chapterhouse models, is the lack of Terminators, seeing as how a Wolfguard in TDA is a rocking addition to a pack of wolves... My biggest reservation about the Forge World concept is the current exchange rate of the dollar vs the Pound Sterling...and I doubt if it gets any better any time soon... So please, any advice and discourse would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for reading & advice proffered. Kindest regards.

Arez Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Welcome back.I say go tru scale,and you dont necessarily need to go with chapterhouse.You could find tutorials on here for truscaleing that work,I even found one today for truscaleing termies.Theres also a tutorial in the WiP section of the PCA forum that shows how to convert a mark 7 suit of armor into a mark 4 so you could have truscale early marks for not that much.

-Volsung- Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Those Chapterhouse studio legs and chest for Tru-Scale look pretty lame. I wouldn't recommend those for that price and for the conversion on it to get rid of the BLood Angel symbols. The only product from Chapterhouse I fancy are the Tau pieces, which looks like really high-quality sculpts, but I don't roll with anything other than Space Wolves, so no use there. Forgeworld is pretty damn expensive tho. If you have the money, though, then perhaps those are better.
