Rise of the Dreadwolves : Crossroads

[PeteySödes]

Very nice! How are you going to base them?

[NightHowler]

Very nice! I love the bloody maw pattern on the helmets!

[Bryan Blaire]

They look like they're done nicely, but I have a hard time making out the details. If NightHowler hadn't mentioned it, I'd have had a hard time making out that the snouts were dark red instead of a darker grey. I'll echo Petey - what thoughts have you had regarding basing?

[Lord Blackwood]

Thank you brothers. 
I have no plans for basing as it stands , what will probably happen there is once everything is done I will look at sculpted bases and see if I want to go that route. 

I  do have something kicking around in my mind. 

I  ....just dont like the wulfen models 

I have 5 of them painted with TH/SS 

And I  kitbashed and painted this guy 



But that got me thinking some more. 

I actually really liked the concept of Deathsworn from the legion 



I think I may try my hand at making some Intercessors into these guys and just using them as wulfen but not wulfen .... 

Oh  and here is the battle leader I  got him done as well 



 

[Chazzmos]

These Primaris wolves are looking great! Love the work on all of them, but especially Russ and his weapons :D

[The Pounder]

Loving your Battle Leader and all your Wolves for that matter!

 

The red on the lower half of the helmet really adds to the model.

[Lord Blackwood]

Slowly making progress , I am getting sick though so I am going to disinfect my work station and put everything on the shelf for a few days while I  get better. 

[NightHowler]

Get better soon brother!  I'll look forward to more updates when you get back!

[Lord Blackwood]

Primaris fellhand for scale issues ? 

...... Primaris Fellhand for Scale issues.

[Lord Blackwood]

Finished my Bjorn stand in











And this is where we are currently at  , trying really hard to paint some more , I  am still not feeling great 

[Guest Triszin]

Oh, I love your ideas for redemptorized Bjorn. I'm taking notes

[Lord Blackwood]

Thanks I needed Bjorn for my list ( http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363230-primaris-focused-beer-and-pretzel-list/)

but I really dont like the scale difference when you put him next to primaris things

 

I added some space wolves bits to a kit to create my Primaris Iron Priest today. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[NightHowler]

Super cool! Very nicely painted. I really like that Primaris Iron Priest.

[CaptainStabby]

Those Wulfen look great. I've been meaning to sit down and do the same sort of conversion myself.

[The Pounder]

As said, great stuff throughout!

[Lord Blackwood]

Thanks guys , I  appreciate the looks and comments a lot. 

Heres something I put together this weekend but I wont be painting them anytime soon as they  arent exactly part of the  list , you will see these heads again soon though as they will be used for my Deathsworn (wulfen) 

The Cult of Morkai runs deep in the 14th

Are those axes & shields from Shapeways or personally printed? They look great! Really like the Deathsworn heads on the models as well.

They are from shapeways , the pop goes the monkey section. 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite being a mostly Primaris chapter now , the Cult of Morkai Persists strongly in the Dreadwolves. 

 

Some even say the whispers of the Deathwolf Grow Louder the further from Fenris that the now fleet based chapter gets. 

[Lord Blackwood]

So the Deathsworn / Wulfen are complete 



Currently Working on Some Aggressors who you might notice are ALSO  in the Deathsworn colors 



The Fluff reasoning for this is that both Aggressors and these  Deathsworn  are part of the whole Cult of Morkai section of the Dreadwolves chapter. 
Even  as the influx of new recruits pulled from different death worlds that the chapters capital ship ( the Dreadmaw)  passes over , the traditions and Fenrisian culture seem to be persistent subsuming the previous cultural identities of the recruits , while cawls work has made the geneseed more stable , the first cracks begin to show  , thankfully the legion had an answer to that 10 thousand years ago , so thats the direction that  the Dreadwolves  go with solving the problem.

Malik the One Handed , Jarl of Onn 
The First non  Fenrisian Primaris Dreadwolf to be elevated to  the rank of Jarl 

In Progress 

[Lord Blackwood]

Painted 














The Dreadwolves follow only having 10 Companies , as they were lucky enough to get the reinforcements from  Guilliman when they did. 

The Chapter Master is not Jarl of the First in their organization either he is just overall Jarl  and will fight with whatever company he sees fit. 

So  Malik is Jarl of Onn , Called the One Handed  since his arm was sheered off below the elbow by a swarmlord , he has a particular distaste for Xenos as the Deathworld he hails from  is sort of like ...if you took the Caribbean ( where my father is from  ) and filled the ocean around it with dangerous sea monsters which just happen to be tyranid pre cursor organisms. Obviously he was a prime candidate when the dreadwolves visited that world and he rose quickly enough through the ranks  in Onn until  his masters death  , as the only surviving wolf guard he took over operational command and was able to turn the tide of battle by employing a coordinated strike from  the Imperial void assets as well as troops fighting in dangerous under water gas mining complexes , not only slaying the xenos filth that killed his liege but  also saving a good portion of the civilian population. 

When Onn returned to the Dreadmaw he received the dubious honor of being the first non Fenrisian Dreadwolf to be elevated to Wolf Lord something that some consider an ill omen  as it reminds them that they are cut off from Fenris now , and that one day the last of the Fenrisian Dreadwolves will die out , leaving only those united by Russ' geneseed and the culture that those of the former 14th great company have left for them.

[Kassill]

That looks incredibly cool brother
