Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi All With the new formation I'm more tempted than ever by Fenrisian Wolves but I just balk at the price. For £30 I can get 15 Space Wolf marines (Blood Claws box) with a mass of optional bits or 10 wolves with pretty much fixed poses. Both in terms of points and complexity of models Fenrisian Wolves seem absurdly overpriced. Are there drcent 3rd party alternatives or do you just swallow the GW price?

thymidine Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I buy them from a retailer that gives 20% off GW prices (FLGS). At that price, they're not bad. I also just buy 1-2 boxes every couple of months to spread out the 'pain' a bit. I have about 50 painted so far (I had them before the new codex for use in the Apoc formation).

Dosjetka Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 http://darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=39054&c=112 I've been using DarkSphere for about 6-8 months now and have no complaints whatsoever (added bonus: 25% off RRP when you order online). I also live abroad so shipping will be cheaper for you. Alternatively, cheaper monopose wolves: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Wolves And cheaper, less dynamic wolves: http://www.miniaturemojo.co.uk/sections/35/animals/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320146-how-do-you-get-your-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-4329867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrick Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I do find it interesting that there doesn't seem to be a single company out there that makes decent looking wolves. I bought GW wolves from Dark Sphere too, Need to purchase a few more to increase the size of my pack. Cyber wolves are a nightmare too as you can only get them directly from GW.

thymidine Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't think I've ever met anyone who uses the actual cyberwolf model on the tabletop. Everyone around here (including myself) just paints the fen. wolves a different color for cyberwolves.

Gemini Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What Carrick said... Before there were official models for Fenrisian Wolves I used to pick up the 'Wolves of Badru' from Heroscape to use instead. They're probably not much cheaper than buying the GW ones. They're quite a bit smaller too. I still use them but as a way of easily distinguishing 'wargear' wolves as opposed to 'pack' wolves.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 @Dosjetka Thanks, I didn't realise you could get thr goblin wolfrider wolves still. I think I'll have to get a couple of packs of those and mix in a few "proper" Fenrisian Wolves for variety. I still don't understand the GW pricing except perhaps "because we can".

Wispy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't think I've ever met anyone who uses the actual cyberwolf model on the tabletop. Everyone around here (including myself) just paints the fen. wolves a different color for cyberwolves. I bought two. Painted one as is and cut the second one in thirds. I merged those thirds with fenrisian wolves to get three more cyber wolves!

I merged those thirds with fenrisian wolves to get three more cyber wolves! I bought 6, I kept 1 original but found a really quick and easy way to combine each CW with a FW to create 2 CW. They still stand out as CW which was important to me as I have about 40 Wolves in total. I do plan to buy a load more so I can run 75 for Wulfkin I always use Canis in my Wolves, Furious Charge with rerolling to hit first turn is deadly.

Wraithwing Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I picked up 5 for free off Facebook, as they were so badly painted. Stripped them and rescued them and now they look ok!

SW1 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've got loads of the old GWS fantasy wolves and a few of the really old metal undead ones to act as CW's.
