You're just seeing the backpack as wrong? The whole concept of Thunderwolves is laughably bad >.<
It's a good model though, pity it had to be based on such as ludicrous concept, but that's GW for you.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

That's a good point though, my guy's sporting the skulls of 3 of his mount's relatives.
Thunderwolves as a concept are... well they make for some cool models I guess.

Nice, a solid conversion.
Did you paint it yourself? Cause it's a great job, and really ties the whole piece together.

Thanks guys - The yellow is just Iyandan dark sun with a brown wash, and then another coat of iyandan dark sun to finish - no highlighting.
The Metal is just boltgun followed up with a badab blackwash.
I was impressed by how easily the Chimera and Truck parts fit together - the scales were perfect.

i gots a new war buggy conversion finished, pics up this weekend.
as promised here's the pics of my new warbuggy conversion, it's much better than that crappy old model that GW is still trying to foist off on us.
please NOTE: this thing is NOT painted yet so the tribal markings on the tire guards will dissappear unless i can figure out a way to preserve them. at any rate this was surprisingly easy to do, took all of 2 nights to throw it together. Please tell me what you think and if you have any ideas to improve on the next two that i plan to build from in a similar fashion.

The only critiscism I can think of is maybe putting the gunner further forward or the pipes further back...as-is he can only shoot forwards.

Checkers are easy peasy.
Paint a strip of the model you want the checkers to appear on in atronomicon grey, then white, until you have a smooth coat.
Once this has been done using watered down black and a fine detail brush paint out a grid as fine as you can. Once this is done just paint in alternating squares until the checks are done.
Just requires a steady hand.

or just use a fine tip Sharpie pen to do the same thing, be aware though that you will have to paint the balck over the sharpie marker lines or it will bleed through like it did on my dire avengers rainbowed helmet crest, since it looked good that way i didn't mind, but with black and white checks it could bleed through the white making the white checks look smaller than the black ones.
The only critiscism I can think of is maybe putting the gunner further forward or the pipes further back...as-is he can only shoot forwards.
I agree, right now it looks like he had a deathgrip on the trigger at one point in the past and shot the hell out of the exhaust pipes.  I tried to run the pipes back by the tires so they would stick up at an angle in the area where the gunner is but couldn't get it to work right, I'll try a little harder on the next two, especially since i don't want them to look as if they were assembled on a factory line.
