Not a "counts as" lizard or something, but an actual good looking wolf fig to use for Thunderwolves.

most people (including myself) seem to be using d&d prepainted dire wolves.

Would chaos wolves or LotR wargs work?

Chaos hounds i think would be way to small as for the wargs they might work but i have not seen one in person out of the box so dont know for sure.

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Would chaos wolves or LotR wargs work?

LOTR wolves are considerably smaller than the Chaos Warhounds you mentioned. While I have not plopped a SW on top of one of my warhounds, I just think that a Thunderwolf needs to be bigger. A lot of people are using the pre-painted D&D dire wolf from the unhallowed expansion (at least I think that is its source) because they are cheap and look good w\o the need for much conversion work. Some people have gone the opposite direction and are using High Elf Lions from the chariot set with a lot of green stuff to make it wolfy.

There are rumors that the TW will be included in Wave 2, but until there is some confirmation of the contents of that wave I am not holding my breath.

I'm using Juggernaughts, but then again my army is Khorne Legionnaires.

Looks small...

I think these have potential:

(from Hell Dorado)

Greenstuff some fur as needed, and that is a 40mm base I think so the model is suitably big to be ridden by a Marine. The models used need to look like they could carry a rider or they are gonna look comical which I don't think would be the desired reaction...

That's great, CT Gamer! Chop off some of the spikes, greenstuff a saddle, and voila! Thunderwolves!

were did you found that? awesome mini
I love wolfs/werewolfs.

Sadly Helldorado has just been sold and it is virtually impossible to get the minis atm:(

why

It was a great mini
annyone who now it is exist any simmilar mini?

A bit offtopic mayby... mayby not, sure were we lokking for wolf minis?

I am stupid - still available on ebay - just the model I want is not:(

They are not distributing anymore so stocks will be runnig out

because a lot of people belive that the wolf sculpt is utter crap

Whats is name? Would be eysier to find it then.

Having finally gotten the chance to see the Canis model in the flesh I think the wolf sculpt is alright, however they would be very pricey to buy him just to convert the wolf. My friend who works for GW Aberdeen is using the lions from the High Elf chariot kit with a fair bit of greenstuff on for fur and the braids clipped off. When you compare them to the artwork in the Space Wolf codex they look really good as the pictures show the fenrisian wolves have a slight cat like look to them, with much more pointy/longer ears then a real wolf. Even though the chariot kit aint cheap either, it does give you two lions, where as Canis only gives you one Fangir. I also like the fact they are smaller then Fangir as the fluff is that Fangir is the largest of his kind, so would look out of place if all other Thunderwolf cavalry where as big as the Canis model.
I fully expect Thunderwolf cavalry to be a Forge World release in the not too distant future (like Ogre Rhinox riders).

How about the metal warg chieftan? Not too small. I have plans to take a WGBL on TH with saga of the Hunter and FB
(kind of outflanking lonewolf of strength what?!) and I was thinking of using the model. Its the only wolf model I have in my
force at the moment as Im not too keen on the other models I can get my hands on (only ever used 1 wolf anyway)
Thoughts?

Can't you just use vampire count dire wolves?

I am probably be using Wolfen from Confrontation for my Fenrisian Wolves until real ones come out. Though I will probably keep 4 of them for my each of my Iron Priest for Cyberwolves.

Maybe mutant canines:

Saltoric wrote:Can't you just use vampire count dire wolves?

because they're too small. Kurhalth already tried and it doesn't quite look right without converting it.

Size wise the wolf needs to be a certain size in relation to the rider to not appear comical/unrealistic. Notice the size relations on these models:

Chaos Knights fantasy horses, I am running a SW count as world eaters army though.

But with some greenstuff, they could look very wolfy.

Winter wrote:the only problem is they are relatively expensive. Good look model, and i don't think they are quite large enough.

considering they are around 5 stg i doubt you ll find much cheaper....as regarsdto size i quite honestly have no idea but if you check the other models they compare quite well....larger than fenrisian for sure...

$25 buys you two very large plastic lions when you buy the high elf chariot.

Grab the sprue out and resell the rest (it still makes a perfectly good chariot, just using the horses)

get some green stuff and sculpt fur. Fur was the first thing i ever learned how to green stuff, don't be afraid, its quite easy.

I've heard that the old vampire counts dire wolf face goes on to the lions face with almost no fuss, so if you can't sculpt a wolf face, that will save you a lot of headache.

Question is, how tall are the lions? Their body should really be larger then the space marines legs, or about the same size so it doesn't look too weird.

I, too, have wondered what people are doing for Thunderwolf Cav.

Do you put wheels or treads on your vehicles? If yes why?

Do you have your space marine holding the turret of a whirlwind like a pistol? IF not then why not?


Regardless of the setting being science fiction the models in question are meant to represent wolves that can carry space marines on their backs. A mount that is too small in relation to it's rider will look comical. IF you want silly looking models be my guest...

There is an example of using the white lions from the elf chariot kit. Looks like it could be a good way to go, although labor intensive.

Those wolves on eBay aren't too bad. And the price isn't bad either. My trepidation is that they are coming from Russia. International eBay dealings can be so hit or miss.

Oops, I meant *3* Fast Attack Choices. My bad. And I did think that perhaps he'd have Thunderwolf Characters. But if he's running 15 Thunderwolves, that's at least 750 points right there.

Iron Priests, Wolf Guard Battle Leaders, Wolf Priests, besides regular TWC.

I'll probably magnetize riders to switch out from game to game.

750 worth of TWC, 90 Fenrisian Wolves @ 720 and Canis = A howling good time.

Pretty sure that Wolf priests can't be mounted, in fact im 100% sure they can't be mounted on a wolf.

correct, neither priest (rune or wolf) can have a TW mount.

WOW, PERFECT!!!

Too bad theyre all gone and it takes that russian seller forever to make new stuff

However they're not a scam as ive bought some stuff from them

Here's some pics using d&d and hordes wolves figures for comparison. Sorry for the fuzzy pics, took it w/ a camera phone. I will try taking better pics if requested

the Hordes mini and D&D winter wolves look a lil too small, or out of proportion to have the Space Wolves mounted on top. That being said however, I think the Direwolf is a perfect balance of size and proportion to the Space Wolf sitting on top

I wish they had that Dire Wolf in multiple poses, because the size is perfect. I might mix it up with the DW, one of the Hordes model, and some of those Russian made models if they are available again soon. That will make the models in the unit more unique instead of 5 wolves all looking the same with the riders all looking very different.

maybe i could use some tyranid warriors as TW. just add some bionic in the head that prevent contact with the hive mind.

I find this on this forum:
http://forum54.oli.us/index.php/topic,6140.0.html

Has anyone found anything official at all about the wolves? Actual models coming out? I'm assuming that the people earlier are correct when they say that the regular cavalry will be the same size base as the character.

Does anyone know about regular wolves and cyberwolves? Are they smaller variations?

My buddy uses Chaos hounds for normal fenris wolves, or for proxy calvary. For his cyberwolves and things he uses D&D direwolves. for his HQ he used a toy wolf and modeled a SW on top of it, works out well

I almost feel like getting some cheap DnD minis and adding some marine torsos with green stuff legs, but I have this feeling like as soon as I finish them official ones will come out that are a different size or cheaper and better looking.

Beware four legged creatures of the fantasy realm, Spacewolves are going to try and ride you.

I have 2 ideas now. First is Star Wars mini scrap golems (with an extra wolf head)

Direwolves look good, and KK your direwolves dont look like direwolves at all or even match the theme of a TWC.:/

Laris from Circle of Orboros from Hordes works pretty well. I made mine Thunder kitties so they ride High Elf Lions from the white lion chariot.

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/P-65%20Heavy%20Metal/sku-down/65091

(I started up the thread again since I just picked up the SW codex and was trying to figure out what to use.)

I think I do have several of those Star Wars scrap golems myself. Would look a bit odd, but would work. I think the best option might be to get the wolf mounts from GW, modelling legs on and adding regular marine torsos that I have extras of.

My concern though is that the wolves might not all be of 60mm base size once they come out with official ones.

That reaper wolf looks nice. Just wish it didn't cost so much.

Which isn't a 'rule' of anykind it's what someone's felt and decided to bandy around as gospel.
Canis and I quote "Rides the largest of his kin into battle" that is the closest one ever is to being told just what size base TWC should be on other than the fact that they are called cavalry. Fangir is the Largest of the Thunderwolfs and lives on a 60mm base.

Fangir is not the largest of ALL the thunderwolves, just the largest of Canis' kin. So many people are have been getting this wrong.

Love the models I ordered two sets, after the fact I read over this guy's feedback, his % is 77! :shock:

Not sure how Ebay lets a seller stay on there with 15 negative feedbacks in one month. I have opened a dispute and will get my money back....


Buyer BEWARE!!!!!!!

That's a shame, those are probably the best looking models for Cavalry I've seen thus far.

Apparently the new owner "Mythicast" is trying to make it right.... stay tuned.

agreed, they're definitely the best looking i've seen floating around (certainly better than the GW one for Canis!).

Hey guys,

Found this thread while googling Mythicast, and I'm glad I got here. I'm really sorry for whatever inconvenience our previous retailer jeanwulf2k had caused. Rest assured we now have stricter polices for distributors and retailers so this may never happen again.

You may be wondering why we're missing in Ebay. We've recently set up our own online shop at http://www.mythicast.com so we can talk to our clients directly, with faster transactions overall and cheaper cost, since we're not paying additional fees for a space in Ebay. We're still able to process orders here, so we hope you'll drop by and see what's new.

I'm glad the guys who previously ordered from us are happy with their models. Thanks again!

Just to chime in here, the Mythicast team took up the slack from jeanwulf2k and got me the three sets of their Thunderwolves that I'd bought from jeanwulf2k but which he never sent. It's one data point, but they took care of me...

RE: Mythicast

I've heard in dozens of places how they merely switched names (to escape awful ebay ratings) so they BETTER take care of you!


As far as completely non-GW models go, why not go for the less expensive option? D&D has wolves of various types which work fine, and they cost between 4-12 bucks a wolf, depending on the model. Which is great, especially if you plan on switching over to the GW version when they come out.

while i'm glad that mythicast is trying to make up for the jeanwulf2k ebay debacle with cygnnus, i doubt that they stopped ebay sales voluntarily only to better communicate with their clients as posted above. their ebay account is listed as no longer registered which 99% of the time means ebay booted them off (possibly they thought they were the same person as jeanwulf2k opening a second account) and they already had 1 neutral rating for a product not yet recieved out of a total of 8 feedback.

alexandra/mythicast, don't get me wrong.. you make a kick ass looking product (as i stated above, the best looking TWC i've seen around) but your products have a legacy of fraud associated with them due to jeanwulf... i wish you luck with that with correcting that because it's going to be an uphill battle. if i ever get around to making space wolves, i'll look you guys up again to see if you're still taking good care of your customers.

to potential buyers, remember that paypal has a 45 day limit on when you can file a dispute for an item paid for and that limit is VERY close to the upper end of mythicast's shipping estimate to the US (6 weeks = 42 days).

After a quick search, each of these models are in stock in a few places for 6 bucks each. I think it is time for me to finally get into thunderwolves...

I ordered 10 of the Mythicast wolves and they were shipped to me within two weeks. And they included the new Iron Priest mount they had been working on and 10 scenic bases. And a full Cyberwolf complement.

The wolves themselves are great- lovelly sculpts with very few casting errors (a small bubble here or there- maybe 2 minutes with some greenstuff or similar putty took care of everything). Assembly is easy and takes minimal trimming. I would say overall comparable to the quality of my new Forgeworld venerable SW dread.

I highly recommend them.

Though it's unfortunate, you're right about being associated with fraud. But the only thing left for us to do here is pick up the pieces because we do believe in our products, even if the company made bad decisions in the past that resulted to our losses. It's only my word you have here and that may not be enough, but right now it's the only thing that I can offer aside from the track record we've had around mid July, when I took measures to control the damages and get the e-commerce back on its feet. That may not be enough yet, since it's such a short time, but I'm happy to say that we've had customers since that time and they've all been satisfied. I hope the good record we continue to establish will eventually change the skeptics' minds.

I was actually brought in to the team for that very reason, because of the problems Mythicast was encountering with their retailer and handling online orders. It was my idea to just set up shop on our own. It's easier to handle and look after, for me, since, admittedly, I've never operated on Ebay. Besides, as you've said, jeanwulf2k already did a good job of ruining our rep, you're right that any other accounts we'd attempt to open there just may end up associated with him. The best decision for us was to start with a clean slate.

And in case anyone's worrying if I may end up being like jeanwulf2k, don't. Because I am related to the not-so-internet-savvy manufacturers, so at this point, we're handling things directly until I can trust someone else to do the job (which, in my estimate, won't be for a long time).

Thanks for the input, though! We need to hear things like that so we'll know what we're dealing with.

I have 10 Jeanwulf/Mithicast wolves I just received this week.

Although they are very nice sculpts, the casting is pretty sub-par. They also appear to have some sort of coating on them. I noticed it when I began the arduous task of cleaning up the odd contours and bumps all over the rider legs. I really hope it's not lead based paint.

Not terribly impressed at the moment, but am hopeful that with some work and paint they will be nice.

Definitely not worth the 3 month wait though.

I have made 2 orders from Mythicast at this point, and was very happy with both of them. I now own 16 Thunder-Wolves and 4 cyber wolves that are just this side of incredible. I had no issues with shipping even though I went through their ebay account (I purchased them just after they got everything straightened out).

So I ordered D&D Vampire Dire Wolves. For people who have used them, what legs do you use on your marine? Anything specific, like a particular set of marine legs that is wider?

I'll throw this out to people in general. What marine legs do you guys use for your TWC?

I have been looking at Thunderwolf options since the new codex came out and the Mythicast def look the best and are the best sized models as well. Tried to obtain them through ebay, and guess what i never ever received them but I did get the payment refunded so no harm done apart from all the time I wasted rushing to the front door everytime the post man turned up for 6 weeks+. Tempted to take a punt via the new Mythicast site, payment still via Pal pal so should be able to make a claim if any probs. Will post my experience on this thread so anyone interested can see just how reliable the new Mythicast set up is. I noticed some good experiences so sounds promising?! If anyone else has experience of their new site please let us know.

Looks like there's another new contender coming...

Is that a fruit bat?

SlaveToDorkness wrote:Is that a fruit bat?

With a Gummy Bear on its back, yes...

More seriously, I think some of the other poses make it look at bit better. But that said, there are no wolves on Fenris, right? So perhaps it's actually a secret alliance between the Blood Angels and the Space Wolves to allow the Puppies to ride mutant Wolf-Bats! In exchange, the Bloodies get sole dibs on any armor with nipples on it...

woah those masq-mini thunderwolves are pretty damn fine sculpts, the detail is awesome, nice find cygnnus, however I'm personally still not sure they are big enough. Worth another look once there are more variations to look at maybe. Just got my paws on a couple of the Mythicast Thunderwolves and while the sculpts are not the best I have seen, the Pose, size and the character of the models are fantastic and for my money make them the best Thunderwolves on the market. It is worth noting that I obtained them from ebay NOT via Mythicast! I do intend to order from them but still concerned over the ebay problems they had. The mythicast TW,s are so much bigger and better than the max mini ones I bought first. Just need to get some more now. Risky to UK??
