yeah, that made me snort my afternoon coffee, lol. perhaps they hired an asian video game developer to manage the auction? the model looks nice but i think i'll stick with my $2.50 d&d dire wolves for my supermen nordic godmarine wolfriders (aka SW).

*still laughing at space thunder, monstrous riding wolf!*

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.

Here is Wolf lord Kjel's early WIP

Oooh that's nice. Is the face from a dire wolf with green stuff?

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

My wife gave the blessing to buy 15 of these. Worth it?

Not to mention the 8 boxes of Chaos Warhounds and bases I ordered last Friday.

Because a super-human in power armor riding a wolf NEEDS to be realistic?

Are we listening to ourselves these days?

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...

How about this one

Those look nice, and the price is not too outragous. Where did you get them from ?

They very well can't use GW's IP when posting on Ebay. Had to come up with something to grab attention.

15? That's a little excessive, unless you're planning on running 5 Fast Attack choices....

I plan on adding characters on TW.

At very least I have friends who probably would take off my hands

they come in squads of 1-5 so he could take 15 as his three FA choices.

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.

I have won some of her/their auctions in the last 2 weeks. I received.

Pay with paypal and you're protected.

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 impressive. I may get one to see it in-hand. I wonder if they will sculpt different versions / poses ?
Good find ... thanks !!

According to auction details, the legs are included. That saves some conversion time.

As Keanu Reeves would say: Whoa.

You mean like this guy

It would not be unreasonable to use Bloodcrusher models. Some converting would be necessary.

Fenris is very close to Eye of Terror.

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.

i bought a circle of orboros war wolf thing off ebay to see how i thaguht it'd go....i was unconvinced. its big enough but it just doesn't seem right

I got 4 of these for 3 bucks a piece on eBay....

I bought this model and the other one (laris and kaya or somethin like that)
and they'r a good size but maybe a little too small, and they're metal which is a bitch to do conversions with
