Luna Wolves 14th Company

[Blissful Brushes]

Howdy one and all and welcome to my WIP thread for my Luna Wolves.

Since I read Galaxy in Flames many moons ago (well over 100 moons now), the Luna Wolves have been my favourite legion. 
 

One thing that was never mentioned was any detachments of the 16th but as with the rest of the legions there must have been detachments dotted around the galaxy. 
 

My 14th Company are one of these detachments. In the early stages of the Great Crusade they were responsible for one of the few operational mistakes of the legion and are essentially exiled from the main body with the remit to rebuild the company.

 

The goal is to build a fully mechanised army. I'd love to be able to make a full Regiment, but I think that the stretch goal will be a mechanised company with an Armoured and Support Company to back them up. For now I’ll be focussing on a platoon at a time to keep the same integrated feel but on a more macro scale.

I had to be in Nottingham last month for a fitness test and may or may not have had a Knight-related moment of weakness. It’s pretty much built now, I need to file off a little bit more of the trim and decide on a scheme and we’re good to go.

A new army is always exciting! Looking forward to seeing your finished models. Great pose on the knight!

Thanks, this one has been brewing for over a decade so it's nice to finally work on it!

 

So I've been building away, and I've got my first tactical squad built. I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about the rules and the odds of me playing a game are pretty low too so I'm just going with what I want for the most part. I'm also using Primaris models as the proportions are so much nicer, and if I end up adding Imperial Army elements the differences in height and bulk are more distinct.

 

This squad is also the one that's becoming the test dummy for bolter configurations, ranging from just trimming the scopes down, thinning the tops up to making it a full rifle. I have also greenstuffed them so the plates are MkIV or my own Voltoris Forge World pattern (Heavy Bolter has this).

Just a little bit of progress this week. Hopefully I’ll be able to break the brushes out some time in April!

I’ve made up a few more marines:

- Vexilla for the platoon command squad

- generic marine

- Beginnings of a Librarian (I know, Heresy!)

- Cataphractii

 

So as I committed to using primaris marines over the classic tactical marines, the lovely box of Cataphractii that my wife got me for Xmas look very anaemic and are significantly smaller than their power armoured brothers. In terms of bulk they’re virtually identical to the power armour too so they’ve all going to a very reputable orthopaedic surgeon and the body and fender shop to get bulked up appropriately.

 

I’ll see if I can source a regular sized Terminator vs my biggerised ones tonight for reference.

 

As ever, any thoughts/suggestions appreciated :)

Always love seeing 30k stuff. The modelling and sculpt work looks great. Can’t wait to see more!
