A call to arms (or to be armed)

Recommended Posts

Greetings brothers, i'm nearly finished all the troop count for my GC (still have loads of transports and HQ's to do), and am also starting to get tired of shadow grey/ the fang. Therefore in the new year i'm hoping to make a start on my second GC using a darker grey colour, in part because of some of the fantastic models on this forum.

 

This is where you come in, as I've stated before I dont game at all and probably never will, so as you may have seen some of my weapon load-outs are non codex compliant/rule of cool. However I'm starting to get in a rut trying to pick weapons for my hunter and claw packs so that is when I got this idea. I would like, as a way of thanks to the members of this forum for all their help and advice and for basically keeping it going and me at times, for you to pick the load-outs for me.

 

I would name the models after the choosers and put pics up here on the site, hopefully the more senior members and those who have done us proud in the recent ETL's will come forward to fill the ranks of GH, newer members will make BC rank. I will base this on date joined and posts made.

 

I will be working from new tac squad,old tac squad, SW pack, SW accessory sprue,assault, scout,some dev weps, new stern and vanguard bits, so feel free to pick what you like from weapons,heads,helms,torso,legs and backpacks. I will base it on first come - first served, GH's then BC's. Remember I said I dont game so if you want a missle launcher with a sniper rifle then go ahead if I have them I'll model and paint them.

Thanks in advance.

Hail, OP.

 

A thought for you:  perhaps, just for the sake of it, you might want at least one HQ and two Troops choices as playable, just in case you ever do decide to get into the game playing side of Warhammer 40,000?

 

Otherwise, along those lines listed:

 

Wolf Priest

 

Wolf Helm

Wolf Skull Front Torso

Normal Rear Torso

Right Shoulder Pad Wolf Fur

Left Shoulder Pad Any Normal

Jump Pack

Wolf Pelt Legs

Left Arm Bolt Pistol

Right Arm - Thunder Hammer cut off just above the power plate, glue on or pin the SW backpack skull with wings stand up decoration bit.

 

Makes one fully playable Wolf Priest right out of the SW PA Pack box.

Hey, always like these projects and always keep catching them late !

If you're in need of a Grey Hunter or Wolfguard model with a meltagun, then please put me down.

I love beakies - so if it's possible please, I would like to be equipped with a meltagun, MkVI Corvus studded legs from Sternguard boxset, MkVI torso and Helm from new Tactical boxset, studded left shoulder pad. Your choice of poses for the arms holding the meltagun in whatever pose you fancy, your choice of right wolf-based shoulder pad, optional sheathed knife on the waist line for wolfing him up.

*edit for easy mode*

* Helm - new Tactical MkVI Corvus Beakie.

* Torso - new Tactical MkVI Corvus torso front, with your choice of standard or wolf pelt back.

* Legs - new Sternguard MkVI Corvus legs with the studded left shin and cloth drape.

* Shoulder pad left - new Tactical studded shoulder pad.

* Shoulder pad right - your choice from Space Wolves box.

* Backpack - your choice from Space Wolves box.

* Arms - your choice of pose.

* Meltagun - your choice from new Tactical or Sternguard box.

* Accessories - your choice of Space Wolves knife for belt.


In return, I'll be sure to name a marine after you in my collection smile.png

* The "blanko" torso front

* the pelt torso back

* right shoulder pelt

* left shoulder "blackmane" (only if it fits to your army)

* legs you like (i took the "on-one-knee" legs from the devastorkit)

* both arms equiped with Wolf-claws (powerclaws)

* the long beard with four "tails" and the monocular

* The backpack with the one wolfstail >cut the "balls" >take two Powerhammers and cut them staffs where you let a litle bit of the stafs on em> make them fit to the backpack> glueing them with the stafs on your backpack with the "wofheads" looking upside.

 

--- i took a pelt from wh-fantasy/chaos barbarians on the right side of my Leif Thunderstand and also a Melterbomb from the devastorkit --- i hope you enjoy brother

Hail Brother,

 

I wish I had the patience you do - I've not yet finished my HQs let alone my Troops.

 

I'll put in for a GH (I'm a young one so brown/black hair with a few streaks of grey).

 

- Front Torso w/ Runes and crossed swords (at waist).

- plain back torso.

- wolf skull shoulder pad.

- studded shoulder pad.

- legs w/ runes across them.

- combi-melta strapped across (back or front).

- sheathed sword at waist.

- bearded axe in right hand, hanging down w/ axe head closest to the ground/base (2-handed axe, cut at the higher hand, pin/glue to beneath the power pack).

- 2 melta bombs in left hand (clip the handles off both, 'bind' w/ thin GS strap and glue into an open palm).

- wolf skull/bones backpack.

 

Hope that's all okay brother - happy to give better/more in-depth instructions but it's your party :)

haha fun

 

i'll be a blood claw

 

*duel plasma pistols

*shouting mohawk head

*the new sw body with the Aquila, and wolfs head in the ab area

*over assault marine running legs, left leg up

*with the command squad standard bearer right arm

*left arm the straight one that usually supports the bolter

*pose him so he is running towards you, but looking over his right shoulder, firing both pistols to the right

*blood claw right shoulder pad

*simple new sw shoulder pad (the one with the curved trim all around) decal

*probably would have been quicker just to build it and show you

Good to have you guys on board and  thanks for the replies.

 

As per the original post I'm only doing PA Grey Hunters for the moment ( Blood Claws if the numbers build up)

 

Karack, as 1st reply I'll go with the Wolf Priest for you.

 

Mav and Thunderhawk, great to get your replies, if you'd be able to repost your load-out choices in PA I'd be grateful and as I said in the OP I don't game so go nuts, rule-of-cool applies.  

Better late then never. If your still looking for to fill out the pack Brother, put me down for a Gray Hunter. Torso plate with double Wolf's head on it with string of claws & talisman's added to his belt, power pack with the winged skull added to the top behind his head, head anything with a top knot & maybe add Fu Manchu mustache if your up  it. Put him on the legs with the wolf skin tabard in front with added boot knife. Make him your Standard bearer for the pack if you like & give him a holstered bolt pistol & a chainsword for his free hand with a bolter mag locked to his other thigh. Looking forward to seeing this pack in all of its glory.

Ok so it looks like I've got 8 on board so far, nine if Mav wants to switch to PA. Thanks for all the replies guys. The only slight change is that all shoulder pads will be the same or similar with regards to decal and pack marking -- Infyrana and Russ Brother I'll see what I can do about the studded pads -- also I'll only be give backpack banners to the pack sergeant (it will be the one with the skull on top). Rift Blade my GS skills are poor but I might give the moustache a go, sadly I wont be having a standard bearer so if you want to choose another weapon go ahead.

I'll leave this open for about another week to see if I can boost the numbers up and then I'll dry run a few poses to see what ye think and if you want to make any changes.

thanks.gif

Aha sadly the old dog's right :p but we are Sons of Russ and expect nothing less ;) thanks for the studs consideration brother :) don't worry about a banner then, just the backpack w/ the skull & bones on it :)

 

Rather excited about this now...
