I like the Black Templars combat patrol. The Space Woofs aren't so bad either. If I wanted Wulfen, I'd stick their arms on regular power armored Marines. This box is basically that with a bit of a discount. That makes wasting the prancing furry bodies a better proposition.

That's actually a pretty good shout. Basically how I made my Death Company for BA (arms on Reiver bodies), thought I was lucky enough to have the kits unbuilt to do so. The BA Combat Patrol isn't bad, but I'd happily trade a set of the 3 Sanguard for the 5 man team of the old Death company just to use as conversion fodder for the assault intercessors.

I made wulfen back in 3rd from kitbashing chaos and loyalist marines using Beastmen arms and heads, to look like the classic Kopinski pic he did for the 13th crusade.

The old metal models were riffing on the wolfman look more than a bestial hybrid look the new ones have. Which I much prefer. They're not werewolves, they're men who've developed wolflike features. The subtlety sells it more than the stupid feet.

I too prefer the old metal Wolfen. My conversion back in the day (because I'm a cheap bastard) was to do a genestealer cult infected 13th Company. My "Wolfen" were marine torsos, legs, backpacks, and shoulder pads. The arms are a mix of Catachan and Genestealer arms (gotten as a cheap ebay bits lot). The heads are a mix of bearded Fantasy heads, SW sprue heads, and the occasional genestealer head.
