The Night of the Wolf

[betrayer41]

I wanna see whats in the black box"!!!

Russ' not so little pets

[betrayer41]

So i have alot of "normal MKIII guys. Since gray slayers are getting several upgrade packs, i won't be using any of the MKIII. I am going to slightly convert my MKIII guys to Vets. What do you think will be the best load out for SW vets?

For vets I'm always a fan of stock marksmen with an upgrade sergeant. This keeps them cheap but a plasma guns or missile launcher doesn't hurt just expensive.

 

If you are using Russ and want to take warriors mettle on them I'd say upgrade the sergeant and add 2 power weapons (axes or swords).

 

The third option if light on anti tank is machine killers put some combi meltas in and maybe normal melta guns to.

 

Resolve and xenobane are lackluster most games resolve especially with Russ +1LD. Weapon masters looks nice but you have ws5 on the charge anyways and Warrior's mettle is probably better than it as it gives more flexibility for the combat trait.

 

 

Realistically our Veterans play the same as every other legions we are better in combat than some which makes warriors mettle an option to consider but I like marksmen because they kill stuff at range and if I'm in a rhino I'm not losing out on melee bonuses.

If you aren't SoH, I think a few combi-plasmsa is the best gun. SW have many ways to get prefered enemy as well for re-rolling ones.

[Robzilla]

To echo the above, a few combi plasma with marksmen is never a bad call. I'm a fan of tossing in a few power axes too. Helps to dissuade light charges, and even if a heavy hitting unit charges them (terminators for instance) the axes are bound to cover their points.

[betrayer41]

Ok since i have SOOO many MKIII despoiler types i can just exchange chainswords with a few power axes, throw in a few combi  plasmas and keep the majority just bolters?

Sounds good just remember don't go to overboard spending points on Veterans it's easy to do but they still die like tac marines but can cost as much as terminators.

[betrayer41]

If i am thinking this right i will be using little to no actual tac sqauds (itll either vets with russ or slayers....cuz well i have to) and i have 40 MKIII Tac marines and TONS of bits. The deathsworn are unique and ill be using the grey slayers upgrade kits and not BOP marines. So i have about 40 tac marines to turn into vets or support i suppose.

Space wolves just don't have a reason to use tacs they would be virtually unused in the game if they weren't a cheap compulsory troops under most rights. Since they aren't one for the SW there just isn't a reason to ever field them, might as well use support squads, veterans or Grey slayers.

Ok so in the process of moving but finally got some work done.

 

First up is my wip red blade

I do like Moloc as a base for Hvarl i think it's one of the better choices. Personally when I picture the axe I think it's one sided so I'm biased towards your original axe.

 

I'm liking the priest to he's a bit WolfyMcWolfFace but supposedly the priests are supposed to be. The only 1 actual complaint there is I think the power fist might be to big but that may be a camera angle. It does look better in the last one vs the first one.

[betrayer41]

I agree I always pictured a one sided axe. I magnetized them just to play it safe.

 

I don't plan on using the fist too much I just always loved the original model. Both his arms are magged as well so tons of options

[betrayer41]

So is the general consesnsus on priests to give them great frost blades?

I would say for Speakers 100% as they already start with a power maul so they only need to pay the gfb upgrade cost instead of buying one outright so it's a much more attractive option.

[betrayer41]

Awesome and I'm assuming great frost blade can only be a sword? I really want to model an axe

It honestly doesn't specify as the blade isn't a specific type of weapon it's honestly quite confusingly written.

 

As Varagyr may take anote additional frost blade (axe claw sword)

 

Except a frost blade is already a specific type and a frost sword doesn't exist.

 

I'd be fine with just anything huge I think a big axe is the best choice look wise.

[Lord Blackwood]

Frost blades can be swords axes or claws therefore great frost blade can be swords axes claws or spears it's vauge enough that it can be whatever you need it to be brother.

[Dantay VI]

I agree. Axes all day every day and twice on Sundays!!

 

As a famous dwarf once said, "Come here my pretty... Let my axe meet your face!"

[Rift Blade]

Again, I have to say amazing. Thanks for posting all the different pics, especially the ones showing the different bits from various 3rd party suppliers. I've been debating about ordering a lot of the bits you have showed, IE the Sons of Thor legs, Shapeways vehicile plate & others. Now that I've seen them used, I just have to finalize my wish list. Any chance you could PM me the EBay seller of those Wolf Skull helms? Really hoping to see more of your work.

Thanks for the kind words bud! I'll shoot those over too ya asap

Not the most glamorous of updates. Paint station stil not set up. Started my sanding on the priest and redblade. Got my pups built. And my first set of models on bases are done. This is the start of my vets. They will receive pelts on their shoulders.

Really nice, I'm digging your wolf priest. I was torn about using that torso too!

[quinnwolf]

Loving the metallic grey, and the bases look excellent, where are they from?

[betrayer41]

They are from Dragon Forge,i highly highly recommend them. Order alot at a time. Took over two months to get to me but definitely worth it.

[quinnwolf]

Ah yes, think i follow him on Facebook, he's pretty upfront about the delays, the popularity of his bases appears to have taken him by surprise.
