Like the title says, i didnt know where else to put this so ....

But yeah, i wanna make some Thunderwolf Cavalry and my initial idea was to buy some Bloodcrushers and put some Space Wolves ''surfing'' them but, i was wondering if there was an alternative?

Err... I'm pretty sure that Fantasy has some goblins riding wolves so maybe you can use them?

Really not the right size...

There are many different choices , do a google search for thunderwolf cavalry etc , here is an example of what I am talking about

One example that I saw was awesome: get a box of Chaos Knights and box of Chaos Warhounds. Cut off the hooves and replace them with hound hooves, then use the warhound head instead of the horse head. This also needs to be cut from the hound body. Then use the Chaos Knight legs, add SW upper torso/arms/head (or, if you are like me, any marines OTHER than SW because of dislike of appearance) to the body, and you should be set. Paws and heads of wolves, armored bodies for the wolves, and legs befitting a marine. I saw finished pictures (here on Dakka, actually) and they looked great.

Any chance of a link? Because I can't imagine any way that would possibly look good...

I saw it on here about 4 months ago. I'll look though and edit the post with a link if I find it

edit-quick google search. http://www.captureandcontrol.com/2010/09/tail-of-two-conversions-part-2.html Apparently the guy didn't switch the feet, but you could do that to improve it-hooves probably don't fit well...He did add wolf tails from the regular gobbo wolves though. I think they look great.

Thanks. About what I expected, but to each his own, I guess. Points to the builder for creativity at least

Hmmm, looking back those are gobbo wolf heads too. I saw one before with warhound heads. They were bigger and fit the body more appropriately. Here we go, his third attempt. Still needs to remove the hooves though, in my opinion...

Go here. Some really nice models. Just sit a SW on top. You might have to remodel the legs to fit the saddle, but that's not too hard with a blade and some greenstuff.

Curses, was just about to post those. They're really good models, I use 'em for my own Cavalry.

http://www.mrdandy.com/wargamma-battle-wolves/ Mr. Dandy also has a set of Cavalry models, with the tournament-legal base size. Paulson's are slightly cheaper at 15 apiece (40 for 3 of them).
