The Night of the Wolf

[betrayer41]

Thanks for all the great feedback guys!

 

I actually like the wolf helm mainly because i think it is the only wolf helm they have done correct.  He doesn;t like as intense or feral as the other i have but after re reading prospero burns i think the wolves need a few level minded guys here and there.

 

 

Great conversions!  Rather you than me in having to paint all that detail later on   I'm not an un-helmeted kinda person, but that Siege Breaker is just right!

 

How do those legs stack up size-wise compared to normal legion/plastic legs?  They look like a great purchase and a surefire way to use all those excess bodies we end up with!

 

They are defintiely a big bigger. I don't know if i would recommend them on normal mkiv guys. They are great for bulkier guys like MKIII and the SW torsos. I will be ordering many many more

[betrayer41]

What do you guys think about these bases?

  I like them!

 

Although they're almost 5 bucks a pop.

[Dantay VI]

Noce. Going for a shattered Prospero look?

Eh i found em for 1.5 haha thank god

I certainly am.....broken glass as well as some burnt books book pages and dead sons of prospero

[Dantay VI]

At that price i will have to take a look

 

After the ETL. Getting basic bsses for now though. Gonna try to rattle 50 out between weeks 9-11

 

Wonder how easy they would be to cast up.

[betrayer41]

I think ive pretty much decided on these. My big questions now is. should they be more of a sandstone color or a more regal white marble like. Ive always pictured prospero more of a white marble type of place than a desert

[SalvationOfReason]

White marble, white sand, blue and silver glass. Just looking at the cover of "A Thousand Sons," with Tizca in the background. Looks very serene/peaceful. Edited June 30, 2016 by SalvationOfReason

Ok so right back at it.

 

Got a lot of shoulder pads on despoilers.

 

Also here are the first three men of my cc vet squad, enjoy!!

Those pads are great who makes em?

[Dantay VI]

The Sons of Thor legs look ace with the torso's. I was worried the legs would look too modern or wolfy for the models, but it seems a pretty good match.

 

Are you going to try some Sons of Thor torso's at some point too?

 

Dammit, you are making me jealous as my Wolves infantry so far look really plain. Either that or I have the same ideas and you beat me to  the punch!!

 

I am in 2 minds as to whether to stick with standard FW legs or go with Kromlech... My views on he shoulder pads are well known and best not repeated although the spiked pads do look good :tu:

 

Just wish FW would hurry up with this book, so I had a better idea which way to take my models. I really want to paint them up, but worried about the hassle if I have to sculpt on cloaks fur etc in the future...

Mastercrafted miniatures, absolutely beautiful stuff.

I love these legs, they are absolutely brutal.

 

I won;t be using the torsos though i much prefer the FW torsos to the kromlech.

 

haha wat are you views on pads?

[DuskRaider]

Shaping out to be a brutal force, man... I'll echo the praise for Master Crafted, they're amazing and thereally are a ton of options to boot.

[Charlo]

SoT legs look friggin' amazing with the FW SW legs.

 

Absolutely awesome stuff.

[betrayer41]

Thanks guys ill have some painting done tonight before i head out of town tm. In my opinion this is one area FW is REALLY REALLY lacking, They really need to release specific legs or atleast some badass legs.

[betrayer41]

Ok guys here are my first two real marines. Minus weathering, still deciding on what I'm gonna do for bases and then I'll do weathering. First time paint nor Metallics in a long while. Any cc is welcome. Enjoy!!

Hell yes!!!! Check out mini war gaming they make runic bases...

[DuskRaider]

Nice use of the World Eater helms... makes sense Space Wolves would want to emulate the actual Assault Legion

 

Seriously, I love the colors used. Very understated and just how I picture GC / HH Wolves.

[recon0321]

Wouldn't there be more than one assault legion?

 

WE

BA

WS

RG

SW

[DuskRaider]

Nah man, just World Eaters.

 

(I shouldn't have to point this out, but I'm obviously joking)

WS are more like Mongols, so the drive by legion

RG are too sneaky for assault, CC assassination maybe but not all out assault

BA like their jump packs too much to be a pure assault legion

SW don't assault they just play with their prey

 

Just joking of course. Many legions use assault as an important tool, but none more than the world eaters. And GW screwed it up by making them frothing madmen with no tactical or strategic thinking in 40K.

[Charlo]

Awesome!

 

I think he needs a touch more red on him though, maybe the belt or something to really make him POP!

[Dantay VI]

Looking great. I am very jealous.

How do you get the more muted gold/brass. Mine comes out super shiny all the time.

World Eater helm looks pretty good ;tu:

 

My view on the SW pads is that it was lazy of FW to just slap Ragnars symbol on the pads and call it done. Especially as it doesn't fit in the pad without going on to the trim.

 

I understand that in some of the older artwork it was the chapter symbol and was in a piece with the old Russ drawing, but I much prefer he R Wolf symbol for the legion, so I am trying to source as many old transfer sheets as possible.
