I'm about two thirds, maybe slightly more, done on a Space Wolf army. I love the intensely overdone fierceness of the army. This comes through in some of the art that I found on the web. I'm captivated by the massive armor, massive animal cloaks, massive weapons, etc. That is one of the reasons I chose to have Logan Grimnar, who embodies this well, leading my army. Recently, I had surgery on my back that left me mostly on my couch for a few days. I have spent a lot of that time watching the Game of Thrones. That series has given me new inspiration for stylizing my Space Wolves with overdone cloaks and armor.
I'd like to get this style:

and the codex cover art that we all know
I thought of using chaos warrior cloaks in place of backpacks on my marines (not particularly original I know). I thought I could dremel away the torso of the chaos warrior until just the cloak is left. Then I would attach the cloak to the Space Wolf torso in place of a backpack.
Here is a picture of the Chaos Warrior torsos for reference:
And here is the dremel I was thinking of using:

Would this dremel work for modeling purposes? Are there other dremels in that price range that anyone uses or can recommend?
Also, I'm not a very experienced converter (this is my first
GW army) so are there other conversion ideas any of you would suggest? I have bought new shoulder pads from Scibor miniatures for my terminators that will give them a more celtic style.
I'm looking to achieve the overdone, wild, warrior style of the Space Wolves throughout my army. How could I best do that?
