dees Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hello Friends, One of my fist Space Wolves Army was the 13th Company from way back in the day. I loved the mixed armor of Space Wolves and CSM, plus it was the first time Wulfen were introduced. I tend to enjoy modeling and painting quite a bit, and it often opens up opportunities to get what I want out of an army on the painting table and battle board. I just bought and began assembling Wulfen for my army and discovered many extra heads, arms, shoulder pads and weapons. So with the new and old bits out of one box of Wulfen I got ten to play with. Here are the conversations and I’ll post updated as I get more of the army done.

dees Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Here is the first Dreadnought on the painting table. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet but it’s been good practice anyway.

dees Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks Triszin. I like the shapes and contrast, but I'm thinking on the next dread I'll swap the yellow for a bone color.

dees Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thanks Beef, I usually avoid painting with yellow and it better than previous attempts.

sbarnby71 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I'm a big fan of throwing chaos into the mix and I loved when the 13th came out with chaos backpacks and stuff. I've just ordered the new Berserkers so hoping to get some good kitbashes with Wulfen heads and axes! Great work keep it coming.

Gamiel Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe you have thought about this but I suggest using Abaddon the Despoiler as the base for their Wolf Lord.

dees Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Thanks for feed back friends. I do love the Abaddon model and it wouldn't take much work to make him into a space wolf. The new zerkers will make great convertions and even after making 5 converted Wulfen I think I still have 2 heads left over. I'm also kicking around the idea of converting the primaries Ragnar into a wolf/chaos champion. I'll post when I have some more work done, but a new baby and moving have made finding the time a bit tricky.

Gamiel Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 If you want to go a bit "trafficking with the wrong spirit" do I suggest using AoS dire wolves as your fenrisian wolves. Possible painting the exposed flesh and/or bone parts as leaking spirit/Warp energy.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 How big are those direwolves? I feel like some creative paint could make them into decent cyber wolves but only if they are comparable to Fenrisian Wolves.

As they came from the box do fenrisian wolves stand on 40mm round base while dire wolves stand on 60mm oval bases.

Looking good. Personal opinion: if you plan to have him as a leader of your 13th company forces do I suggest using a different head or remove the helmet "ears" (could be crude removal showing that the SW have done it to a WE helmet they decided to repurpose) since the "ears" are such WE associated markings. But that's just me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376521-the-dire-wolves-army-progress/#findComment-5910142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dees Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I was fortunately able to sit down this weekend and get some painting done. I like the scheme but of the yellow so far. I'm hoping it is subdued when I wash/glaze them the same way I did the Dreadnoughts. And TrueClaw makes an appearance.
