No, they’re plastic.

Ah. Neat!

Not gonna get it, but neat.

I think this method for the ammo feeds is genius. I absolutely want one of the Castigators eventually.

Now imagine they scale this up for a plastic Warhound Titan?

Heresy Thursday – Space Wolves Get a Predatory Praetor and New Mark VI Heads

Finally, a decent Horus Heresy Space Wolf sculpt! Now they need to replace the invert bolters, Terminator Praetor and the Varagyr

Well those heads are certainly a great step forward for the wolves. The others were just comical.
Praetor's nice enough. Not the best praetor they've done, but neither is it the worst. They really need to go back to hand sculpting fur. Digitally sculpted fur just lacks.

That's not fair I have just properly started Sons of Horus and now FW releases this beauty?

Guess they finally figured out that folks werent that much into the Wolfy McWolf heads :p

It's so weird seeing a Space Woof who doesn't look comical.

THOSE ARE MILES BETTER, HOLY gak.

They really walked back on those SW heads huh?
But that also gives us a timescale how long GW needs for a small new resin upgrade set. The old ones where revealed on August 4th last year so a bit more than 13 months for just 11 small heads that are just pre-existing ones with different decorations. Probably less than that as they wouldn't have started right when the old ones where revealed but still

Hahahah it’s funny but I also feel better for whoever sculpted the wolf heads

If this is the glow up from the old to new SW sculpts, I cant wait to see the Iron hands Praetors

So should we buy the wolf heads since they’ll be a collectors item now?

FW stopped selling them a while back.

Its so weird seeing a space wolf I actually like.

Ha ha yea this guy's great.

Slits on the heads look odd but that's probably just the straight on angle

Yeah, I think its the head on angle. The inset photo showing the 3/4 view of the helmet on the body looks pretty dope.

That's a GREAT improvement on the old SW stuff!

Not fair, wolves got two head upgrade kits! Though I do suppose these are much better for battleline troops. Now those wolf heads can be used for Special characters, as they should be

I'm actually envious the wolves got beakie slit variations the other legions didn't.. Can we please get those same slit variations for a generic beakie helm in the 2022 proportions pleasepleaseplease

It's also the lighting. On the model, the edge highlights are fairly subtle. The individual heads are lit very brightly and make them stand out in a bad way.

What was the first one? I only remember the upgrade set for the Space Badgers, an equally angry but otherwise unrelated legion.

Oh snap, just saw this one.. its got the OG Space Marine Officer rank badge, as seen on the venerable Space Marine Painting Guide!! I'm gonna have to source one of these for my RT beakie boys for sure..

is that the Captain or Lieutenant Commander insignia? *checks notes* D'oh, it's the Sergeant's badge.. hmm... Perhaps he would be suitable for my JP Assault squad sarge in that case..

Good spot. We almost never see the sarge helmet from the old days, as that rank can also be shown with helmet stripes.

The ammo cable alone pushes it to my top of the list buys for this. Hopefully people use alternative and I can pick up extra cables.

There was a whole page that didn’t load lol ohh well!

There’s a bunch on eBay that cost less than FW, and they’re NIB so not recasts

Space Wolves – Legion Praetor (£27.50) & Space Wolves MKVI Heads (£15.50) are up for pre-order.

I need FW to stop making nice models for armies I don't have. First it was the Dark Angel Praetor and then a thousand things in-between, and now this?!
How am I supposed to buy important things like bread when this exists.

Have you not been making your own bread out of resin dust and plastic shavings?
