Greeeetttinngs everyone, so my blood angels are coming to an end and its time to start a new project, and that project is pre-heresy space wolves!!!

Here are my ideas:
-Use Khorne Bezerkers as the main body
-Remove Khorne symbols
-Swap out a few heads for space wolve faces
-Forge World Weapons (i.e. Melta guns and Rocket Launchers)
-Face Plate out of Plasticard

Now heres the dilemma... i dont have any other ideas for my wolves all i have so far is to give them all fur behind their heads and in front of their back packs and a cape...

Any ideas would help thanks in advance!

I don't get it.

Like use khorne bezerkers are the space wolves but remove all the khorne icons. So the actual model will be a khorne bezerker without its khorne icons that been converted to looking like a space wolf

Yeah but why?

I thought it would be a cool idea, since chaos marines are the closet thing to pre-heresy style armor in my opinion, and i like the heads the bezerkers have not all, but most of them. with a little bit of GS and some imagination i think they would make really awesome looking space wolves

I really think a better idea would be to take advantage of FW's great new product lines. Aside from being cheap per model, the Bezerkers don't seem like good candidates for this project.

I found a kick-ass tutorial on how to make pre-heresy terminators, and it's cheap as heck if you want.

Sorry about the length of that link.

@ Adanis: That is a nice article. Should do well if I attempt a slaaneshi force at some point in time (what is it with me and purple?)

@Manchu: FW's lines are fantastic, though you'd be putting yourself a bit out of hand if you didnt have a go at scratch building or casting some of your own parts. Don't go casting forgeworld bits, that's illegal lol.

Make up some of your own pads etc, cast them, job done.
Then bulk them out with some FW bits.

Casting is expensive as hell to get started.

Also don't forget they're grey not blue-grey like they are now, but you probably already knew that.

Adanis, that has to be the longest link I've ever seen.

I cut the top of the shoulderpads off and turn them sideways fir my ph soace wolves

Use forge world herresy armour
or the iron armour and use old weapons

this might help mate
i threw it together a while ago
hope it helps

i haven't updated this with the new FW stuf fbut the rest of it should help.

also the zerker bodeis with the chains and ammo fit really well for the barbaric feel of wovles but don't over the use them, remember the philosophy of the wolves is individual heroes. do your best to make each one a unique hero

@ Ordo dakka: check out BLACKHAND's general casting thread in the p & m tutes section. For about 50 aud you can get set up with ample supplies.

That and it's a fun challenge.
