Burias-Drak'shal Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Am i right in thinking that Wolf guard Black & yellow Grey Hunters Red and black Bloodclaws Red and yellow Long Fangs Black and white and finally Thunderwolf Cav Black and yellow?

Dantay VI Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Yep that is pretty much it for the shoulder pad colour schemes. Blood claws Grey Hunters Wolf Guard Long Fangs Scouts These are just examples. You could use runes or any designs you fancy :) Hope this helps!!

codyrstuart Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 According to all the great artwork in the 5th edition Codex (wish I still had mine) the scouts' colors were the Space Wolf grey and black. Additionally, if you're not too keen on intricate designs (or just want to paint quick) Units also have a unit symbol on the grey pad like the scout pad above using the colors below to denote what unit: Yellow- Claw units Red- Hunters Black- Guard and Scouts White- Fangs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322828-shoulder-pads-for-space-wolves/#findComment-4407490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I got all of the codices, going right back :) Now I feel old But do you have the Book of the Astronomican? That's old school Space Wolves, right there.

Hfran Morkai Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I got all of the codices, going right back Now I feel old I started with the 3rd Ed "leaflet" codex, then that unfortunately fell apart so I grabbed one and the 2nd Ed Codex off ebay. Back in the days when Cyclones had limited ammo but you could launch them all in one go, always wanted to give 2nd a shot hah. Further to the proper discussion, during the Heresy did all Wolves have the Legion symbol on their left pad or did they still use Company markings? I'm terrible at freehand and am therefore trying to work out if I should buy a load of the FW pads. Its adding more expense to an already expensive project but if its "right" I don't feel I have much of a choice. If only sculpted Morkai pads existed.

Dantay VI Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It is unknown what the left shoulderpad had on it during the 30k timeline. So far we have just seen the red wolfs head. The transfer sheet from FW looks to show that they used the same markings as tacticals destroyers etc of other legions, so FW seem to be stripping away some of the Wolves uniqueness in that aspect. Best bet is wait till October when book 7 is rumoured to become available and we will know everything for good or (most likely) ill. Blu tac shoulder pads for now then get the FW ones when legion or company markings become known Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322828-shoulder-pads-for-space-wolves/#findComment-4423145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Wow. Totally didn't expect someone to have actually done Morkai pads for sale, that's pretty awesome. October feels so far away.
