New Shopping For Space Wolves Thread (Kitbashes Requested)

[Karack Blackstone]

Hello all.

So, in attempting to see how the Space Wolves Resources thread is doing, it would appear the previous Shopping For Space Wolves thread is gone, having cavorted off into the void somewhere.

This is my attempt at a replacement.

http://www.games-workshop.com

While this is by no means an extensive full bits available bits list, this is at least an attempt to provide an idea of where to start in each area.
Note: I am in the US, so, after selecting a different country flag, you may need to navigate back to the item through some effort.
No Forge World, yet, for now. I hope to see if this becomes useful, and if so, or if a Mod wishes to, add FW kits later.

One final thought before the reader continues: if you have the time and are willing to learn, you will save money by magnetizing. There are threads here and other users in the Fang can be asked to aid you, so, please, by all means, ask questions, and learn at your own pace.

Kitbash lists


Wolf Lord, in Power/Runic Armor (Jump Pack optional)
- Space Marine/Wolves PA Box leg option of choice, I prefer the SW PA legs with the runes on the greaves
- Space Wolves Torso Front, of choice, I prefer the one with the ribbon
- Space Marine/Wolves Torso Rear, of choice (Note, if you intend to magnetize for a Jump Pack, this may limit some back torso bit choices)
- Space Marine/Wolves Helmeted or Bare Head, preferably one with a beard, to your liking
- Weapon options abound; please, either magnetize for arm swaps, or, go with a fixed build of choices
- Fiddly-bits, or, magazine pouches, back banners, etc., are always to your taste, as it is your model

Wolf Lord, in Terminator Armor
- SM or SW TDA bits, from the entire range of Terminator Armor wearing models, can be used to combine into whatever kitbash Wolf Lord you prefer

Wolf Lord, on Bike
- Space Marine Biker Legs
- Same as the WL PA/RA entry


Wolf Guard Battle Leader, in Power/Runic Armor, optional Jump Pack
- Slightly less wolfed out than a Wolf Lord
(This is the Commander, or, second to the Wolf Lord. Each Great Company can have more than one WGBL, any entry in this list)
- Same bits process as WL in PA/RA above

Wolf Guard Battle Leader on Bike
- Same as the WGBL in PA/RA, requires SM Biker Legs

Wolf Guard Battle Leader, in Terminator Armor
- SM or SW TDA bits, from the entire range of Terminator Armor wearing models, can be used to combine into whatever kitbash Wolf Guard Battle Leader you prefer


Wolf Priest in PA/RA, optional Jump Pack or Bike (Mutually Exclusive choices, here)
- Space Marine or Space Wolves Power Armor legs, either for a bike, or on foot
(On foot, I prefer the wolf pelt legs in the SW PA box)
- Space Wolves front torso with wolf skull, is my personal preference
- Space Wolves rear torso with wolf pelt, if not using a jump pack; normal back plate if you plan to have a Jump Pack
- Left Arm, pistol (BP or PP)
- Right Arm, starting from the PA Thunder Hammer, cut the head of the hammer bit off just above the power plate. Glue on the Space Wolves winged skull banner
- Wolf Head Helm, in plastic, for the head
- Backpack to your choice

Wolf Priest on Bike: Please see the directly above entry

Wolf Priest in Terminator Armor
- So long as you have a Crozius Arcanum, and know how to model one, anything goes
(If ideas and inspiration need to aid you)
- SW Terminator Box, pick the wolf pelt legs
- SW Termy Box, pick the torso of your liking, I think one has a wolf skull on the front
- SW Termy Box, rear torso of your choice
- SM/SW Termy Box, you will need to either kitbash a Crozius Arcanum similar to the one listed in the PA/RA WP section, see the last point in this subgroup below
- Likely a Storm Bolter on one hand
- I personally used careful clipping to convert two SM TDA Chaplains into SW Wolf Priests in TDA by cutting the left arm of the original model and building a replacement for the upper arm out of SW TDA left arm bits from the SW TDA Box. If you wonder where to cut, cut the finecast left arm with the flat of the cutting clippers towards the hand, just behind the left arm bracer, and keep the Crozius portion. On the SW TDA Box bits, this time turn the clippers so the flat side is towards the upper arm, and cut the arm just above the bracer. If done right, you should end up with a very neat and clean join, and a simple conversion.

 

Rune Priest in PA/RA, maybe on Bike, might have a Jump Pack

- SW PA box Runic legs

- SW Front Torso to personal taste

- SW Rear Torso to personal taste

- Weapons options vary, however, any power weapon can be painted up to look like a Force weapon, instead. If you are unsure, please use the search function, or have a look in the Hall of Honor forum section. Some conversions work, others do not; you, and you alone, decide on which work, and which do not.

- One option that was used for some of my custom RP's was the SW PA Box two-handed Power Axe, then, cut off the axe head and trim enough from the back to make it just an extension of the rest of the Staff. Afterwards, clip out and glue two of the Space Wolves Wolf Skulls from any WS PA Box sprue, on the now Force Staff, giving it a look at before you fully let the glue dry.

 

Rune Priest in Terminator Armor

- I am not really an owner of any TDA RP's, outside of Njal

- Legs might be best simple, wolfy, or, if you have Green Stuff skills, it could be worth it to customize some bits

- Torso pieces should make sense to you

- Arms and weapons, likely Storm Bolter and some kind of Force Weapon (Staff, Sword, Axe, etc.)

 

Wolf Guard Pack Leader in PA/RA, maybe on a Bike, might have a Jump Pack

- If you want to individualize all your WGPL's, by all means do so

- I have all my WGPL's with the same look, just different heads

- Runic PA Legs

- Ribbon Torso Front

- Any normal PA Rear Torso piece

- I personally have, in the past, made Power Fist / Storm Shield WGPL's...

- That typed, I am going to, once the Codex comes out, build some WGPL's with Combi-Plasma for each; their other weapon might be a Chainsword or Power Sword

 

Wolf Guard Pack Leader in Terminator Armor

- This one may take some doing, however, for those that are fine with footslogging all their units, a model out front with, hopefully, a 2+/5++ and possible 3++ is really going to make a difference. The fact that any SM in TDA of any type goes to 2 Wounds does not hurt at all. Just remember, no TDA wearing models in Rhinos or Razorbacks; Drop Pods, the TDA model takes up 2 PA slots (8 other pack members allowed, total is still 10).

- Legs to choice

- Front and Rear Torso choices, to personal choice

- Weapons vary greatly

- Check all relevant books before finalizing your planned builds

 

Lastly, when in doubt, magnets are your friends. If you have questions, please, feel free to ask around, especially here. There should, in time, even be a Magnetization thread linked in the Space Wolves Resources Thread.

Kitbash post for link diving:

 

(Your kitbash ideas here, please, they will go in above this line of text)

 

Please, by all means, if you have any kitbashes, post them in this thread, and I will try to copy them all into this post for easy perusal!

 

Edit:

 

Done. Further ideas welcome. As above, in this post, thread changed to post, as, yes, I do mean it, kitbash and conversions for first timers can be hard. The idea of this post is to make things as easy to find inspiration for, all in one place.

Edited January 1, 2018 by Karack Blackstone

OP should be finished, at least for now. Revisions as needed.

 

Thread open to feedback, requests, replies, etc.

[Kasper_Hawser]

Very nice, be good to new collectors who want to do certain models only to find out there isn't exactly an "official" mini sprue for it. thanks Karack. May pick on this list for ideas later.
