Hvitr Valdyr's Space Wolves

[sbarnby71]

Blown away this morning by these Primaris conversions, really stunning work, such a vast range of pieces being used and they work so well.  I got my first 3 Primaris from the Conquest mag as a trial run and I must admit I'm hooked on the scale and I think they convert easily.  I've never like the Wulfen models, apart from the heads and weapons, but now I want to build mine up using Primaris bodies.

[HvitrValdyr]

Thanks, glad you like them. Make sure to show us what you come up with.

[HvitrValdyr]

I received my painted models back from Frontline Gaming Painting yesterday, thought I’d share them with you. These guys are the first 6 members of my Kill Team.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[HvitrValdyr]

Some more conversions.

 

A third Scout for Kill Team. Used a Necron arm and bits from a marine bionic arm to make his bionic arm. The head is from the Dark Angels Primaris lieutenant.

Then 2 Haldor kitbashes to use as a Captain and Lieutenant in Kill Team.

The Captain has the Frostblade from our upgrade sprue in place of Haldor’s axe to count as a power sword and a bolt rifle. I gave him a MKIII legion icon shoulder pad on his left arm and a grey slayer upgrade pad on his right, along with a head from the Primaris upgrade.

The Lieutenant has a Frostblade from Conversion World and a bolt pistol from the Thunderwolf set. His head is from the Wolf Guard Termis.

Well with the news of Calgar getting embiggened I'm looking the finally make the swap to Primaris scale out of necessity. You're work is super inspiring and definitely makes the baseline Primaris mode,l which I'm still super ambivalent  (general chunky aesthetics, lack of poses, crap helmet,) about look much more interesting to work with. Still have no idea why they didn't go with the MK 7 helmet as that really does the trick on a lot of the models.

 

What are the bare arms you are using on the scouts? Wulfen?

[HvitrValdyr]

The golden ones are Stormcast from the ETB Celestar Ballista. The grey ones are Beastmen Gor.

 

Thanks for the kind words!

[PeteySödes]

They all look cool but the necron arm scout is off to me. I think it’s the pose but also the thinner arm with that crazy barrel chest might be doing it.

[HvitrValdyr]

Back again with a painted update. Again, the majority of the painting was done by Frontline Gaming. I touched up some bits and pieces once I got them in my hands.

Here is the whole Kill Team (so far, I may add another model or two later.) Rules wise they are all Intercessors and Reivers, with one Scout. Fluff wise they are based on a pack of Grey Hunters with 2 Wolf Guard and 2 Sky Claws, supported by a few Wolf Scouts.

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/20190212_193641_zpsbjx585zw.jpg

The Kill Team designated Blackmane's Teeth dropped onto Vigilus with the Wolves strike force led by Haldor Icepelt. When the Wolves determined that the water supply needed to be protected, the team was dispatched to Kaelac's Bane in the southern polar region, to protect the secondary source of water on the planet. The Wolves, well suited to the winter climate of the region, soon encountered a threat more insidious than the Genestealer Cults faced by their brothers, none other than their arch-enemies, the Thousand Sons. Now Blackmane's Teeth are set to prove that they are the true apex predators on the planet and remind the traitorous sorcerers of the fate that awaits all heretics.

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/SWReivers_zpsb219yo1v.jpg

Valdr Twice Slain, so named for the 2 "deaths" he has experienced since his ascension to the ranks of the Sky Warriors. The first was when he was the sole survivor of his Grey Hunter pack. At that time he took the vow of the Lone Wolf and sought a glorious death fighting the enemies of mankind. When he almost died saving Ragnar Blackmane's life, the Wolf Lord offered him the chance to join a new pack as one of his Wolf Guard. Valdr accepted and was born again and named Twice Slain by his new pack brothers. He leads the Blackmane's Teeth on Vigilus. (Reiver Sergeant, Leader specialist)

 

Brand Longhowl and Hakn Ironbrow are the last survivors of their Sky Claw pack. Young and headstrong, they are eager to close with their enemies and utilise their jump packs to do so. (Reivers with grav chutes and grapnels)

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/SWSpecialists2_zpsaxeqpt9s.jpg

Asger Redpelt was one of the Wolf Guard who welcomed Valdr to the pack. They quickly became fast friends and Redpelt was the first person Twice Slain sought out when Blackmane tasked him with assembling a kill team. Asger leads a pack of veteran Grey Hunters, known as the Redclaws, and was eager to join his brother's mission. (Intercessor Sergeant with power sword, Combat specialist)

 

Alrik the Unseen is so called because his targets never see him. The master crafted bolter that he carries is encased in Fenrisian Ironwood and was given to him by Jarl Blackmane. (Intercessor with stalker bolter, Sniper specialist)

 

SK-0L1 is a walking communications array. He was assigned to the team to allow them to maintain communication with the main force, despite the distances and interference involved. (Scout, Communications specialist)

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/SWSpecialists1_zpsjz7owasd.jpg

Olvr Shieldbreaker once defeated a Dark Angel is single combat by breaking his shield over his opponent's head. The 2 warriors developed a mutual respect for each other and Olvr carries a pouch from his cousin to this day. (Intercessor with aux grenade launcher, Demolitions specialist)

 

Geir Redclaw is the pack leader of the Grey Hunters, a veteran warrior of many decades. He prefers to engage his prey up close and eschews the standard boltgun of his brothers, relying on his bolt pistol and axe to do the job instead. (Reiver, Veteran specialist)

 

Ardn Silvertongue is a story teller. His knowledge of the sagas and legends of the Wolves rivals that of the Wolf Priests and he is being considered to join their ranks. He regales his packmates with tales of heroism, boosting their morale and building their brotherhood. (Intercessor, Medic specialist)

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/SWIntercessors_zpsihb2hzp5.jpg

Sven Firefist got his name as a young Blood Claw when he got into a brawl with an older Grey Hunter at the Fang during a feast. Sensing defeat at the hands of the veteran, he quickly doused his hand in mjod, set it alight and punched his foe square in the face. The Grey Hunter's beard caught fire, much to the delight of all the spectators. The young Sven was dubbed Firefist and has been known as such ever since. (Intercessor)

 

Yngvar Greymane yearns for the day when he will become a Long Fang as then he will finally be able to utilise the heavy weapons that he loves. Until then he is content to slay with boltgun and pistol. (Intercessor)

 

Ivar the Stoic regularly wins contests of endurance at the Fang. There are those who say he could stand up to Russ himself in a mjod drinking conpetition. Ivar himself says little, preferring action to talk. He looks forward to the Wolftime when Russ shall return to see if he can live up to the legend that has been built around himself. (Intercessor)

 

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/foyt21/Svartravnyr_zpsqjb6jggk.jpg

Wolf Scouts known as the Svartravnyr.

Lokr the Sly (hooded guy) is the newest member of the pack. He looks at Lukas as a kind of hero and while he would never go to the extremes that the Trickster does, he likes to play pranks on his older wolf brothers. (Reiver)

Einr Valravn is the pack leader. A grizzled veteran, he is always found where the enemy is least prepared to deal with him. He goes to war accompanied by a large Fenrisian raven to which he is mind linked.(Reiver, Scout specialist)

Vilulf Crowhame is a taciturn warrior, preferring the company of the wild to that of other sentient beings. Nevertheless he can always be counted on when it is time for the murder make. (Reiver)

Those scouts look amazing, nice use of Spellcrow shoulder pads and FW bodies, great, great work!  Where did the arms come from?

[HvitrValdyr]

Thanks. Scout arms are from Beastmen Gors and Stormcast Celestar Ballista crew. The larger shoulder pads are actually the old Puppets War Valhallan pads while the smaller are from one of the Dwarf kits.

Excellent work on both the models and their backstories.

Thank you

[HvitrValdyr]

Latest addition is a little bit smaller than Primaris but with the flying pose he fits the bill close enough for me. Still to decide which jump pack I'm going to use for him, most likely one from the Vanguard assault marines. So here is my jump pack Rune Priest, converted from the new Master of Possession.

[NightHowler]

I like the look of the rune priest. I know you haven’t picked out the jump pack yet, but can we get some angles on the back and sides of the model?

[HvitrValdyr]

Got some ETB Intercessors and created my second Grey Hunter pack. 6 man with plasma and pack leader. Will give them a Wolf Guard at some point.

[Zephaniah Adriyen]

Looking at this makes me want to start a R O I G H T P R O P P A Wolves army with Primaris. I.E. full conversions on everyone but with pure Primaris rules.

[HvitrValdyr]

Finished my first Long Fangs today.

Where did you get the sniper for Alrik the Unseen? 

[HvitrValdyr]

Where did you get the sniper for Alrik the Unseen? 

It’s a regular bolt rifle with a scope and barrel extension taken from a Tempestus Scions gun.

[HvitrValdyr]

Well it’s been about a year so that means it’s time for another update.

 

Incursors using Intercessor and Hellblasters bodies as I’m not a fan of Phobos armour in most cases. I used heads that had bionic eyes to represent the optic feed regular Incursors get from their visors. Paired combat blades in the form of axe and long knife.

 

 

 

 

First set of Aggressors done.

 

 

 

And finally a Phobos Wolf Lord. I gave him a cyber eagle in place of the cyber skull that the vanilla version uses. I use Phobos armour to create a scout like look, with unarmoured arms and no power pack. I imagine this guy as a Wolf Scout who is universally recognized as one of the best, a natural leader of those who run alone. I’ll eventually do some Infiltrators in a similar style.

[sbarnby71]

Really like the use of the old Hersey Armour, the older bolters look really good on Primaris and that Stalker Bolter mashup you have on wolf scout is genius (I did a similar thing with a Suppressor a while back, using the Wolf head from the chainsword).  Great work!  

[Krakendoomcool]

Very very good!

 

Always respect the effort to do a truescale project. Primaris take a bit of the boring work away I think.

 

The effort you've gone to Wolfing up your guys is very impressive. My favourite being the tiny runes.

 

My favourites in the thread are your first Rune priest and the Wolf priest.

 

Excellent stuff, look forward to any updates.

[The Pounder]

Really like how you’ve wolfed up your Primaris!

 

Also the removal of the dome on the Aggressors is a particularly nice touch.

[Bryan Blaire]

They are looking very good, and I also like the look of the non-chrome dome Aggressors!

 

Question - where did you get the non-Deathsworn hand axes you used? They are particularly nice and really add to the models.
