Aztec Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 So I'm currently in the motion of adding a host of Wolf Banners to my army. At the moment though I'm just not sure whether or not it would be better to convert them cheaply using the backpack banner in the GH box or just pick up a few of the Finecast models. I'm personally leaning towards the Finecast one which seems to be a lot more expensive and has the obvious risk of being resin, but overall has a much better wow factor and stands out. But I'm not sure if I should just stick with the cheap tried and tested backpack option Has anybody had any experience with the Finecast model and if it's any good? Also I know it's topic that been beaten to death but how's finecast going atm? I've heard they've fixed almost all the blips they were having.

ulllyssies0110 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I use the banners from the space marine comand squad. This will also give you 5 more marines. You can also find the bits and Spurs on ebay or Spiky bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270808-wolf-banners-finecast-gw-or-backpack-gh-banner/#findComment-3298474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I didn't have any real issues with my most recent finecast purchase this january, but 1 random mini (Inquisitor Coteaz) is hardly representative of how finecast is doing as a whole. I use the banners from the command squad too, though, that I've gotten form trading bits with people. Also, this lets you give the banner carrier a boltgun, which is the most likely thing for him to use. Another possibility is using the warding staff from the Grey Knights box (Not the most commonly used upgrade, so any grey knights players in your metagame will likely be fine with trading it), cut off the Skull bit on top, and trim the Backpack standard a bit. Poof, Wolf Standard! (Not my idea, mind you- Seen this done elsewhere) And of course, there's always using fantasy standards for this.

Raulmichile Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Warriors of Chaos, Marauders and Beasts of Chaos banners work fine. I used a couple of them in my army with little to no conversion.
