I mostly paint and kit bash to make what i consider cool looking models. also if anyone knows how I can merge this topic with the one in works in progress please let me know.

Kassill Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Welcome brother, warm yourself by the hearth. I'm not aware of anyway to merge threads outside of mod intervention so probably best to post in this thread or simply link to your other one.

Sgt.Sangha Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 So I had a WIP thread going but everyone was suggesting I post in Aett. Here is my progress. (by the way if the Mods know how to combine the thread please let me know how). wolf cav 2 please let me know what you guys think of the pose. The idea in my head is to create the base with a frozen river and have the wolf leaping over and the marine (yet to be named) shooting plasma shots before closing in with his chainsword. i still need to add a few decorative pieces maybe a few grenades or maybe even a meltabomb on the back.

Sgt.Sangha Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 here is the 3rd member of the squad The idea behind him was he is pointing a spear down at his foe and is moving in for the kill. The wolf skull was added to give him a more barbarian look. I still have to create a back story for him. what do you guys think of the spear hand? i dont know if I want to keep it and paint it up as a prosthetic or try to cut out a marine hand and try to get it to fit. the spear is a stand in I might switch the tip with a frost blade tip. also if theres a way I can have the pictures show up enlarged please let me know how.

Kasper_Hawser Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 heres the first wolf His name is Sivrit Heoinnsson the slayer of Fabrikk and his mount is SloegrFot (props to bjorn firewalker for the name) Sorry mate, not a fan of those overgrown horn helmets, which vikings NEVER used, and looks over the top to me. However, it's your model so do what you want. Just my frank feedback. Spear guy looks great though. Rules wise it'll have to function as a power maul.

Sgt.Sangha Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 hey guys just a quick update I altered the speartip for wolf cav2 (until i find a more suitable name) and added some hair and a braid. Let me know your thoughts @Kasper_Hawser the truth be told I kinda knew that real Vikings didnt actually use horned helmets, but it did somehow make its way into the pop culture and interpretation of Vikings, and I assumed that the original humans who settled on Fenris, probably based their culture around these interpretations. some of it being actual Viking culture, some of it being these interpretations, and some of it being entirely new and random. Remember these arent Vikings, these are Fenrisians who have a similar culture to Vikings, which is probably where they got their cultural nuances from. That being said thats how my head cannon views it. the honest truth of it all is I did the whole thing as a fun experiment in kit bashing and customization and when my friends and family (who know much about 40K or Viking culture) see it they automatically know " oh thats a Viking" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354430-joining-the-aett-a-space-wolves-wip-thread/#findComment-5282178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If the Thunderwolf riders' lances are pointed downwards, you might as well decorate their bases with prone enemies for the riders to finish off. Otherwise, those arms should be raised, and the lances pointed forwards.

sbarnby71 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I love the idea of hunting lances, I've been working on some ideas with harpoons as the bodyguard of Russ were armed that way, but I would say take a look at the way the wrist is bent holding that lance, on impact the wrist would shatter (don't care how superhuman a SM is, that's gonna break), maybe switch his grip so the thumb is wrapped around the rear of the lance, I think will make a world of difference to the pose.

Kasper_Hawser Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not sure about hunting lances, but one of the main weapons of norse warriors were simple spears, probably the most common and cheapest, followed by the axe. Swords were more of a status thing and apparently, the iron of scandinavian countries are of poor quality like Japan, not sure why, something to do with the location of iron deposit in volcanic soil I think. Someone help me out why it is so.

Sgt.Sangha Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 sorry for the lateness guys...the real world kicked in. Anyways I finally managed to get some paint on these guys, im new to this so i think I must have made a billion trips to my local GW for supplies. those guys are a major help. heres the update Let me know what you guys think hes the second pack member. Just a few points, I didnt have the codex until a few days after i painted them, so I was not aware that the thunderwolf cav are mounted by WG who have yellow and black markings. I tried my hand at using decals...they are quite a challenge. So for this guy I imagined a wolf skull mask...not really practical I know. The wolf is supposed to be black in colour. it looks fairly good on the table top but now with a close up picture I can see that the face is really grey. either way now I know for next time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354430-joining-the-aett-a-space-wolves-wip-thread/#findComment-5308565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Sangha Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 here is the third member and a group shot. Also brothers lets come up with some names for these two who are joining Sivrit Heoinnsson Im really proud of this one. He was inspired by a character from game of thrones. I tried to contrast the light blue armour with a yellow colour to the plasma pistol. I might also give yellow lenses to marines once I get around to doing units with helms. The white wolf was a challenge just like the black. I gave him blue eyes to give him that wintery feel. the unit as a whole has a few features to make them look as one. they all have the same decal on the right shoulder pad, and the left shoulder pad has the wolf head and the pad itself has Gold trim. Note: I lost the base for Sivrit...after it was completed so I will have to redo it. I had nephews over perhaps they were poking around the work station. again let me know what you guys think of my humble submissions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354430-joining-the-aett-a-space-wolves-wip-thread/#findComment-5308570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
