Provocation Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Had a bit of a play around with some bits after stealing a few ideas here and there http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k614/Provocation88/IMG_2842.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k614/Provocation88/IMG_2843.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281879-new-toys-space-wolf-centurion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohail187 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 that helm is cool, i dont know why but it reminds of me sc2.... marines. However i would use some liquid green stuff or normal green stuff to fill the lines top left on the helm. to make it look smooth.

montegue Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Been thinking about the same thing. I may add a BT detachment or simply make wolfed up cents for when we get access. It strikes me that the heads of twc might be interesting...

Nadir Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Great use of shoulderpad! It's the first Centurion I like. And it looks like he could realy move!

MaveriK Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Nicely done, and it does remind me of Starcraft. So what are you going to do when GW decides not to give this toy to the wolves in a future codex?

Provocation Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi Sohail187, thanks for the feedback. Wasn't sure how to bring the torso 'belt' and the shoulder pad helmet together elegantly, but I think more green stuff smoothing the belt seemlessly into the join will do the trick. Maverick, not too worried if we don't officially get them as I'll use them as Space Marine allies but still keep the Space Wolves theme by using them as a different great company. Actually starting to build up a fair collection of things I can't officially use like my version of the storm talon, the storm claw: http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k614/Provocation88/StormClaw01.jpg When I get a conversion idea I have to run with it, just for the joy of converting and having something unique in my army.

When you consider the restrictions of using them in a non Horus Heresy army, not particularly as it is the cost of the Fire Raptor plus the cost of a Rune Priest with Saga of the Beastslayer for Wolves. In Horus Heresy its not going to be that breaking with the number of things that can kill it and just how nuts Heresy games are in terms of carnage.

Provocation Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi mactire Hope these pics help. Here's a few tips for the conversion: Cut a landspeeder in half just where the cockpit starts. The 2 vents at the top of the talon cockpit are cut from the talon vents that normally wrap around the cockpit on the sides. Only extra bit I used was some plasticard on the bottom of the cockpit. The assault cannons and tale fin are pinned and the stormclaw itself pinned to the flight stand. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k614/Provocation88/IMG_2872.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k614/Provocation88/IMG_2874.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281879-new-toys-space-wolf-centurion/#findComment-3499763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rift Blade Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'm with Blackstone. That flyer rocks. Sleek & mean looking just like a wolf. I'm glad I saw this 'cause I've got 2 junk Speeders that were given to me that I was gonna chop up for scenery but not any more. Gonna stash them away for basis of what ever flyer comes are way with our new codex(hopefully A-we get a new dex soon as rumours suggest & B-we get a flyer-LOL) withthisas a basis.

Provocation Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for all the comments. I'll try to get a guide together for my Stormclaw and post it on/ by Tuesday.

Kasper_Hawser Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just curious, what is the opinion of Centurions now, both the Assault and the Devastator versions? I understand the Devastators with Grav Cannons are effective against nearly everything but low armoured hordes, but I noticed the range is only 24". Your opinions?

In Horus Heresy its not going to be that breaking with the number of things that can kill it and just how nuts Heresy games are in terms of carnage. In the experimental rules at the moment, you can take one without having to take a rune priest. Its only after the first one (ie if youwant to take 2-3) that you need to take rune priests. And lets face it, most SW armies already contain at least one runepriest...so all were really needing to do is pay for one runepriest to have beastslayer ;) anwaaaayyy..some fairly nice conversion work going on in this thread..keep up the good work guys :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281879-new-toys-space-wolf-centurion/#findComment-3501892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karack Blackstone Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Where is his head? The helmet/shoulder pad is the cover for his head. He's got some pretty thick armor plate across the vast majority of him, so, that conversion of the helmet makes sense to me.

Provocation Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Correct, it might not be that obvious with just the grey and a wash, but once the detail's in, the visor/ helmet will look the part Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281879-new-toys-space-wolf-centurion/#findComment-3502353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichfaust Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Cool model, Prov. I am making some Centurions up at the moment and am planning on wolfing them up too. Not sure I'm sold on the Starcraft-style helmet visor, it looks really cool and all but it doesn't fit the Marine aesthetic enough for my liking. Terminator heads on the other hand look pretty ace, I think, so that's what I'm going to go with. I must admit, the pictures of the Centurions really don't do them justice. The models are a lot cooler than most people initially gave them credit for.
