tetsuhau Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 They’re just a lot of crosses and marine icons for the Wolves to have on their veterans. Maybe it’s just me? And robes? Not very practical if you ask me. My plan is to get shields from my bits bin and runed swords and slam them on assault intercessors. Any TO’s here that can tell me if they’d allow them in their events? I have the real models I can get them to a three colour with basing, but I won’t enjoy painting them because I don’t feel they fit. What’s the company’s thoughts?

I don’t play a ton and I’m in a very relaxed group so in my group it would be fine but I just don’t know about bigger events and how sticky they are with having THE model vs a model of the same dimensions that is WYSIWYG.

Forgeworld Custodes Venatari for the Bodies, and Saggitarrum for the heads. I just cut the top spike off. If you want more Wolfy heads there is also the Forgeworld Deathsworn: or the Space Wolves Mk VI heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The Swords were made by trimming pieces of sprue with a hobby knife. The Shields are from the Grey Slayers Upgrade Pack from Forge World. CCE1981 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karhedron Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 WYSIWYG has not been part of 40K rules for a long time. Official GW events sometimes insist on models made from GW parts but even then, conversions and modifications are welcome as long as they are in the spirit of the setting and it is clear what unit the models are meant to represent. I wolfed up my Indomitus BGVs quite well with a rummage through ym bits box. Valerian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 These are my Bladeguard conversions. I used assault Intercessors, and 1 is the space wolf Lt, for their more dynamic motion. The Axes and shields are 3d prints but I am unsure from where, its been some time since I acquired them. Brother Kraskor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding crosses do the Wolves use them as much as many of other guys would I say, we have cross shaped shields and bling from their boxes after all. I would say that just using the SW colours, transfears and markings do a lot to make the Bladeguard feel SW, and with some light kitbash from the upgrade set or Wolf Guard box will be more than enought to make them feel as SW as you want.

Wispy Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 These guys started off as Indomitus Bladeguard. Tabards and everything. Just gotta dig deep in your bits box... Karhedron, Wraithwing and Konnavaer 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranulf the revenant Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Used Assault Intercessor bodies as well, because the poses are more dynamic and I also disliked the robes of the original Bladeguard (added benefit, it was cheaper :D )....
