Wolfspear Kill Team

[Alby the Slayer]

So with March approaching I want to share my WIP killteam for the Knives in the Shadows 2025 painting challenge.

 

I haven't played since 2004 so I'm in this hobby only for collecting and painting. I asked permission to @Lysimachus to create something more of a scenic diorama rather than a ready to play kt squad. 

I like to have a theme, a schedule and to inspire and be inspired by other people works.

 

With his ok, I started to think what I wanted to do. First I was thinking about the marine Raptors chapter since they fit so well with the city fight theme of the challenge.

But then, searching through the chapters I (re)discover Wolfspear, a rare primaris founding from the Space Wolves.

I really liked the idea of space wolves more silent, with more hunting tactics if you want and the colour scheme was for me intriguing.

With some difficulties and some luck I found the 2 years old white dwarf when they spoke about them and the transfer sheet of the chapter that was with it.

 

I will speak about specifics in the next posts but basically it's an ambush by a Wolfspear killteam to a Necron detachment. The scene is in the center of a ruined Imperial city.

I will leave the story for last, for now as usually I do, I prefer to concentrate to painting while I'm thinking about the story.

So this is the team. The pack leader is the one in the middle with the spear.

The team is legal, killteam game rules speaking, and I tried to pose them as if they are about to strike. When you will see the rest of the project it will be more clear.

I used many pieces from different kits and some 3d printed ones to assemble the squad.

I also choose not to exagerate with SW blings as I see Wolfspear more tactical and "clean".
