TheShredder Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I recently found quite a nice werewolf miniature and I thought it might be fun to use it in my IG army. I can probably model a pistol or rifle on it without too much difficulty. Anyway, I'm just looking for ideas for what to use it as. (It's infantry-sized, so is too small to be an Ogryn or anything like that.) Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It sounds like some sort of hairy abhuman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 There can be beast men in the imperial guard. In older fluff, they were abhuman strains that made people look like minotaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Guard Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Is it too big for a ratling type thing? Or you could use it maybe as an officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Get ten and have them as a veteran (abhuman/beastman) guard unit :) Or... depending on what it can be armed with... how about having it as an abhuman Primaris Psyker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShredder Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Is it too big for a ratling type thing? Or you could use it maybe as an officer. Yeah, it's definitely too big for a Ratling. If I use it as an Officer, which do you think - Company Commander? Commissar? Get ten and have them as a veteran (abhuman/beastman) guard unit Or... depending on what it can be armed with... how about having it as an abhuman Primaris Psyker? I'll admit I didn't consider using it as a psyker. I guess manifesting the power of the warp really took its toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use it as an Officer, which do you think - Company Commander? Commissar? Definitely not a commissar. There's no way that an abhuman would be made a political officer in the imperium. A company commander could work. Give the regiment a color scheme similar to the space wolves. Then say that they're the space wolves personal meat shi... I mean imperial guard regiment. Their commander was a space wolf initiate that failed training, but not before have some of the augmentations take root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding him being a rejected Space Wolf, I think they might have given him rather too many augmentations: Still, I guess it could explain why he was rejected. Clearly even the Wulfen thought he'd gone too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 To be honest, from a fluff perspective, that model is too far gone to even be considered an abhuman. It'd be a full on mutant. That said, just for fun you could really run it as whatever, or as something in a traitor guard army, but I don't think you'll find a fluff reason to include it in a fluffy loyal regiment. I think they summed it up best something like the guys with the horns are ok, but the guys with hooves go a step too far for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yeah, definitely Eversor material. That was my original thought, but was waiting to see pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
