Pop goes the Monkey has crazy good shields. They are a bit bigger than Wulfen shields and fit very well on Bladeguard.

 

They also have right handed power fists witch are rare. They have a blood drop on them, but it can be easily removed and are small enough to not really be offensive.

Maxmini has gone out of business more or less, or at least their inactive for now. I ordered from them at the beginning of this year, and it took forever for that reason.

 

 

 This saddens me greatly. They had some really nice pelts of various sizes and shapes. I was going to be ordering some more soon. 

 

KFstudio and Spellcrow both have some neat options. I've got some of the KF stuff in the mail now but it's coming all the way from Russia it seems, so may be in the dead of helwinter before I get it. 

 

I'll echo popgoesthemonkey, great source for bits and conversion pieces. I particularly love their curved wolf icons for shoulder pads. 

+1 for Spellcrow, I was very happy with the bits I got from them - mostly Shoulderpads and fur bits.

 

The other neat option is these: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Stormcast-Eternals-Heads-Upgrade-1-2019

 

Obviously a couple are less great but they fit very nicely on Primaris bodies.

I just found this company. It's not really stuff you "need" to build for Space Wolves but very nice additional stuff and alternative wolves: https://www.darkswordminiatures.com/miniature-finder/?wpf_page=1&id=miniature_finder&wpf=1&wpf_cols=4&wpf_traditional-fantasy-race=wolf

Artel W has now added the KF Studio bits to their website. Lovely bearded heads and other stuff https://artelw.com/Viking-Style-c106484599 . It's also available through liber daemonica -> https://liberdaemonica.com/shop?tfc_storepartuid[270673031]=KFStudio

Since the prices seem to be the same it comes down to shipping cost, I guess...

I just discovered these terrain pieces (viking ships) which might be interesting if you would like to set up a Fenris themed board -> https://www.etsy.com/listing/871432925/drakkar-snekkar-wrecks-ruined-viking?ref=related-2

"The custom bit": Another shop I discovered, I especially like the axes and shields. Seems reasonably priced as well...

Bare Heads

 

I always stuggle to find decent space viking heads. ive reused the first born heads to death with my primaris conversions and grown sick of seeing the same popular 3d printed sculpts (GreyTide, Daka Daka) on every second reddit post.  So here are some of the more lesser known ones

 

CORPSEBEER - Paid STL. 

I think they're a fraction small for GWs Heroic scale so I personally scale them up by 105% but there is plenty of variants included.

 

Puppetswars - Paid Resin (Norse & Techno Viking) or Paid STL (Norse Bits

Just note that the Norse Bits pack doesn't include all 5 variants of the Norse (only 3) or Techno Viking (only 4) heads.  It does come with 5 helmeted heads and extras though (Pauldrons. Sword & Shield). 

 

ItsTableTopTime - Paid STL

The original Space Bears concept was much more space viking themed and these are awesomely gizzled Grey Hunters or Long Fangs.  There's 5 bare heads amongst a suite of extra bits (helmets, claws, pauldrons, etc.)  When they launched the full army, they decided to lean a little more towards a native american indian look for the racial cues.
