mactire Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 After almost completing the Third Great Company, of Erik Morkai, I have embarked on building the Iron Wolves. According to the old fluff they consisted of packs in Rhino's and Razorbacks cutting off the enemy who were then cut down by the Tanks. As Egil IronWolf has perished I will now be completing the Company under the new Wolf Lord (whose name I just forgot). Here are two Predators I've just finished Some crew close ups And this is where I am with Armoured and Mobile units at present A HelFrost Vindicator, 3 Predators, 2 LandSpeeders and 8 TWC (counts as) led by an Iron Priest on CyberWolf. GrFlur, NightHowler, ranulf the revenant and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 IIRC, didn’t the new Wolf Lord perish as well, and now there’s a new, new Wolf Lord for them, and we don’t know if he’s are actually the permanent one and is properly installed? I only say that because in the future the Iron Wolves might cease and be replaced by a new Great Company. Damn fine wall of tanks and outriders there! I like the wolves loping alongside the bikes! Do you still run them as just bikes, or attack bikes? (Also like those B&C dice in the background of some of the images) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5515086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yeah I'm not too worried about the lore, I imagine all my companies are around Fall of Cadia timeline. The Bikes are actually Counts-as TWC, as I'm not a big fan of the "Marines on horseback image". The Wolf alongside counts as the 2nd wound. Have a lot more tanks in the pipeline to add as well along with about 30/40 troops already painted which I didn't bother including until I've completed their Transports.

Bryan Blaire Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 :tu: :tu: I like the TWC-counts as concept - very nice! The Helfrost Vindicator is fantastic as well! (I forgot to comment on that the first time) I've always envisioned the Iron Wolves as having a lot of Mk3 armor plating merged on top of more advanced armor under-lays, can't wait to see your guys and how you painted them up.

DanPesci Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Love the Bike+Wolf idea for TWC. I never liked thunderwolves either and these make WAY more sense to me (wolf guard who are out hunting with their wolves - not riding them). EDIT - Just noticed the helfrost vindicator too. Excellent touch ;) Edited April 30, 2020 by DanPesci Bryan Blaire 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5515174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Just pledged 5 WolfGuard in TDA for the 12 months of hobby and also started on another Vindicator and a Stalker to add to the Great Company. Will post pictures as I'm progressing.

CaptainStabby Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I may have to pilfer that TWC idea. I dont mind 1 or 2 dudes riding their wolfbuddy (the named characters for example) but the entire units of them never worked for me. Thats a great solution.

TiguriusX Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I agree that TWC idea should be official. Looks awesome and makes more sense they are basically following their alpha into combat instead of being ridden Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5516757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Finished the TDA WolfGuard for May in "12 Months of Hobby 2020". Quite happy how they turned out, haven't painted Terminators in ages. Also promised to put up some of the "Counts-as" TWC, so here they are. And an Iron Priest on CyberWolf Kallas, NightHowler, GrFlur and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5529084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 The Iron Wolves keep grinding on. Another Vindicator and and some Stalker Anti-Air cover Going with molded Shoulderpads for all the IronWolves. These are Shapeways Mastodons, happy with how they worked out.

Bryan Blaire Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Really liking the look of that Wolf artillery and air defense! The use of the mastodons for Heavy Support (I'm assuming) is also very cool and inspired.

mactire Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks Bryan, yeah that was the intention. Really like some of their Celtic/Norse designs and will be using more as I go along. Will also be blinging out the vehicles when they're all done, so not for a while yet Bryan Blaire 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5592476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Completed two Rhino transports for the Iron Wolves Bolter & Chainsword pack. Also fitted out the Pack with their PGTM shoulder pads at last. Have ordered 3 more Razorbacks/Rhinos and 2 Predators to completed the Light Armour for the Company and this is the collection of Bling I'm gathering to kit out all of the Iron Wolves Tanks when I'm finally done. svane jotunsbane, Kassill, Bryan Blaire and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363588-the-iron-wolves/#findComment-5625195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
