Something to oppose Heresy Era Thousand Sons!
The mini is based on a Mk VI Armour, aftermarket helmet and Mk II shoulder Pads by Forge World. Arms, Bolter and backpack are from the very first GW Plastics...

Very very nice. You could probably find shoulderpads that easily convert into those from the CSM basic kit. If you don't feel like FW prices of course.

Thnaks for the info. But that would leave me with unwanted CSMs, or?
;-)

Wow, nice paintjob. Are those FW models?

for shoulderpads use ebay got tons of it.

one minor critique:
i think the pose of the hands is a bit weird. the gun holing one is holding the bolter at a strange angle... i know its probably to late but i would check other models of yours. i use these bolters and arms too a lot and i know it can happen quite easy to get that angle...


by the way the ovearall mini is very good and the painjob is classy as hell^^

No, only the Shoulder Pads...

Great conversion, I like the paint job too, put it in the gallery and we can all vote for it!

Looks awesome, I like it

Gallery? Vote for it?
For what purpose?
Something like CMoN?

Sorry for being dumb here...

No to be argumentative but the bolter and backpack are not from the first GW plastics. I first got them with the Mark 7 metal-plastic combo marines. The first GW plastics were the RT beaky marines. Nice work on the marines. I love the grey on the PA.

Got me there, I meant 1st GW separate Plastic pieces for Marines...
:-(
the very first ones were of course the good old RT beaky marines (still got some somewhere..)

Dakka has it's own gallery for wargaming images; you can find the link at the top of the page. The only purpose in voting/rating images is to highlight cool stuff.

Regarding your model, I don't really get much of a "space wolf" vibe off it, though to be fair I know very little about pre-heresy armour styles and appearances. Looks pretty good though.

Very nice work there, glad to see some other Pre Heresy style Wolves here. The CSM box is actually a nice source of PH bits if you want to avoid the Forge World route as a lot of the parts are older marks of armor. I ended up kitbashing the CSM box, Berzerkers, Tac Squad, SW box and Forge World bits for my Pre Heresy Wolves. Makes for a mix and match campaign style list with lots of different marks of armor. Not the ideal mix if you want a more uniform look, but I think it fits the Wolves rather well.

The lack of proper pre-heresy helmets is a bit of a put-off though.

Some of them look more archaic, but you are right most of them don't work. Cutting the bunny ears off Berzerker helmets works well though, and I did add in a lot of the Red Scorpion Mk IV hemlets from Forge World and the ones from Maxmini work beautifully too. I made them before Forge World made the Mk II-V kits so I had to mix and match a bit. It's much easier now the the FW kits,

I like it, good colour usage and nice theme. Good job!

Once you have loaded the picture into the gallery then you can swap the picture with a link to the gallery image and then we just click on it to be taken to the gallery and vote on it. kind of like Hot or Not but for miniatures! you should check it out there is a whole section on space wolves!

Love the model, fantastic work! The dark tones of the mini work well and definately give it the pre-heresy feel it needs. It looks above table top level to me, nice detail!

Looking good!
