I really need to make use of that melted straw fungus ^_^.

You have some of the best posing of marines on the web.

Wow. The poses are truly incredible.

Any chance you could make a more detailed photo-log on how you go about assembling/"true scaling" them?

I'm very new to modeling and would love to get some pointers on how to get my models as awesome as yours.

I'm such a slow painter, but I'm still working on the wolves, albeit at snails pace. Anyway, here's a pair of PIP pics to show where I'm at this time.

Nice paint scheme on those. The chainswords really stick out as focal points, I like the hazard stripes, a bit more blended than I usually see them.

Nice blending of the greys also.

wow that looks great keep up the good work those are some of the best wolves Ive seen

Very cool! I had a crack at doing a couple of marines like this a few years ago. Planned a squad but I found they took so damn long to do with just wire and GS alone that I ran out of momentum with them.

Here's a link to some pics if you like, you may have seen them before elsewhere:

Looking forward to seeing them when theyre finished, love the little SW pieces you've added through sculpting. The bases are fantastic too!

Cheers,

This is not a scheme I've seen on the wolves before. I dig it. The poses are great though. That's something that I really need to get off my arse and do is posing. I'm in one of those, 'I really don't have a spare figure I can hack apart' modes, as $$ is tight, and can't really spare anything. But, this gives me ideas of how to pose them.

Great stuff, can't wait to see the rest of the packs.

What do you mean by "Biggerizing"? Does it have anything to do with extending the legs? Anyways, looks great!

Biggerized, or so-called "true scale" marines are meant to make the marines a little bigger than IG trooper. It is just ridiculous how IG guy is the same height or even taller than marine when in the fluff the marine towers over the normal human.

So I added a bit length to the waist, legs and neck socket and made the chest a bit broader. My biggerizing is a bit more subtle that what seems to be the norm among the "true scalers" as people seem to use terminator bits to make their marines bigger. But however you do it, it still looks better than the standard marines.

Yes, I think I have seen those marines before. The lightning claws guy looks really great! I might steal that pose on one of my wolves.

Very cool.

Oh, OK...I can see that from the finished green scultps. It would be kinda nice to see a tutorial on your method...just a wish list if you ever have another fig in progress.

Those guys look amazing! Hope to see pics of these guys fully painted up.

I've put the wolves temporally on hold while I'm building Genestealer Hybrid "gang" for Necromunda. I will return to the Wolves once I have finished all the Hybrids and stuff. This will move the wolf project to next year.

Do you have a thread for the Genestealer Hybrid Gang?

Wow, usually the space puppy paint jobs seem a little boring to me but the bending and highlights along with all the custom GSing make these guys pop!

I love these ! i've always been a fan of Spacec Wolves infat that was my first army ! verycool and unique look to them ! i wanna see more

nice I once thought of getting a space wolves army but I dont like sm. Anyway thay look great lets hope they don't get mauler by genesteelers

After a few months break from the wolves, I'm back.

I started working on various additions to my wolf force...

Wolf Lord in terminator armour. Will have lightning claws when finished. I just had to give him the standard "stand head taller than the rest of the guys, begging for lascannon shot" pose.


Wolf guard terminators, to accompany the Wolf Lord in battle. You'll propably notice the Forge World bodies. The FW stuff was just too good to pass. If you wonder the amount of green stuff, that just comes with the need to cover the biggerising scars.


You might remember my biggerised squad of ultramarines? I decided to turn them into Space Wolves to get another Grey Hunter Pack with as little work as possible. Here's a pair of ex-Ultramarines with wolf bits added, now needing a re-paint to wolfy colors.


Here's my Dognaught, still very WIP, but coming along. I saw the four legged dreadnought conversion somewhere (I think it was at Dakka) and liked it a lot. Now that I needed a striking Venerable Dreadnought for my Woofs, the memory of the conversion came back to me and I knew I just had to try it myself too. Thus the Dognought was born.


I'm building a Land Raider Crusader for my Wolf Lord to ride around, but I can't start building it until my ordered Forge World bits arrive. The only thing I could start working was the twin-linked assault cannon with added gunner. The piece is still WIP, but I like the idea of a real gunner shooting the weapon, while shouting around curses a sailor would blush at. "Oh, you want some of this too! You look like a dork in that outfit!" DAKKA, DAKKA!


And finally, the Prowler. Barely held together with blu-tac, but you get the idea... I had many rhino kits lying around and didn't feel like buying a Predator kit (with yet another rhino hull), so I decided to convert a Predator from one of the Rhinos. I figured the open hull wouldn't be considered as open-topped since the crew is wearing power armour (same as land speeder isn't considered open topped). Armed with autocannon and a pair of heavy bolters (one is still missing from the pic. I guess my great company had run out of Predators and the Iron Priests converted some of the rhinos into gun-carriers to fill the hole. I call this vehicle Prowler, but it fully reps a predator.

More!Mooore!!!

Absolutely love everthing... Woofs are on my list to do; they were going to be after Relictors and/or orks but I think you have pushed them to the front of the pile for me!

Good work!

Man those Wolves are covered in awesome sauce!

Very nice work. And Nive Wolfnought too. I still remember few years ago when i posted the first Wolfnought in Work in Progress, as With the gorilla dreadnought and the Raptor dreadnought. Many years have past and i still see people using it as inspiration. As Gray Death Told me once... Your Kung-foo is strong.

I just love that dreadnought! What a great idea and so characterful for the Space Wolves. Maybe the pilot is a Wulfen?

These are some really dynamic and energetic conversions. They look wild and feral like a Space Wolf should without looking overdone or cheesy.

Brilliant work!

Anyone got a link to a guide for how to roughly make a dread like that? Or even just parts lists/components etc?

Okay, that's awesome.

Wing:



from what i can see it is all dread and sentinel parts, with the addition of a jugger head.



all of this work is amazing, and love the style of the pred, may have to borrow that one

wow man nice stuff
the beards and bases look really nice

also, the dognought is just badass lol
i look forward to seeing to painted

Sentinel - that's the parts I couldn't place...

I'm gonna have to do something similar to this... Would rather have a more robotic head though so gonna plunder my bits!

Thanks for info

I used parts of various kits in the Dognought:

- Black Reach box dreadnought as body. Parts of another dreadnought (backpack, CC-arm mostly), but with careful converting you could do this without those extra dreads parts. I just happened to have them available...
- The back legs came from IG sentinel.
- Head came from juggernaut
- The lascannons came from SM devastator kit, but I might as well have used the dreadnoughts lascannons, so these are not neccessary (and anyway, you propably want to arm your dread with different armament. I could easily see the back holding an assault cannon or heavy plasma instead of the lascannons)

So, basically you can build this with one dreadnought kit and one sentinel kit and that jugger head with the help of your bits box for extra gubbins...

Much love to the Col Hammer

Thankies and I am sooooo stealing your idea for my wolves!
