I got this cute little guy here that I am planning to use as my Long Fangs Squad Leader or a Wolf Lord.
It may not be the best idea for a model but according to army builder I can do it and the two power fist just plain
looks cool!


I am thinking of naming him, Bob the Basher

Best layout be damned, he looks hardcore! Go with what you like, not with one of the x lists on the forum.

I just hope you'll get rid of his mold lines, and if you would give him some more "wolf" detail on the front... maybe on his belt. Too bad you didn't use a Space Wolf chest piece on the front, as it stands (only the cloak) he will seem pretty bland if you put him next to the newer wolf kits.

What colour scheme are you going for?

The base color is Fenris Grey, Than sholder Pads inners are Chaos Black and outer rim is Regal Blue for a darker contrast color. I base the Eagle or chest designs if there are any in tin bits and highlight with Shining gold. The Exhaust round parts of his pack are Shining gold. The ribbons if any on my models are mechanist red with red inked but for him I might go with a paper design. His coat most likely will just be black on the outside with a dry brushing of snow colors and the inside some kinda light brown. Eyes are red but have not decided what else I will do. Maybe a light Dry Brush of Skull White around to make him frosty and lighten it up a bit.

Hum, I'm not sold on the idea of Regal Blue on the outer shoulder pad rim... I'd have to see it. Why not go Fenris Grey all the way, 'cept for the inner part of the shoulder pad? If you throw too many colours, the model might look a little too busy.

Careful with the skull white drybrush, it might not work well because of the paint's thin pigment (instead of a snowy white you'll get a blu/grey stained model).

Of course, whatever rocks your boat applies here anyway

long fang squad leaders can't have duel power fists... I used the same back pack on mine

I will show the changes I made but I made minor alterations on the backpack. Added some wolf skulls and fur bits to both power fists as well as shoulder pads.
I kinda messed up putting some of it on but after a bit of clean up and painting it will be hardly noticeable.

My Wolf Lord with some extra stuff to make him look more space wolf-y.

...yeah. I shall name him Bob the Basher!

May he bash plentifuly, to his heart's content.

Don't forget to post him painted up here. G'luck and good work!

Looks cool.
