This project is to be a departure from the A typical space wolves that are on snow bases.

My intent is to have the display board be setup as a docking bay in space craft. Like they were loading up gear and preparing for war. Therefore, the space wolves will all be using "grating, space hulk" type bases.

I completed a few of the models this past week and though I have a ton of green stuff work to do to fill in gaps and what-not, I wanted to give a sneak peak at what I am doing. You will notice that some of the models still have a little paint on them, as I attempted to strip down some old models and sometimes the varnish protected them a little too well.


Here are my 3 squads of long fangs. I tried to make each of the commander's unique and provide each of the squad members with somewhat of a unique pose. You will notice that some of the missile launchers are actually the hunter-killer missiles from the rhino/razorback kit. I found that they actually work quite well on a marine, if you are able to pose them just right.


Here is the first batch of long fangs. I used a pair of grenades as binoculars for the commander and I will have to sculpt it out a bit to make it look just right. The blue missile launcher is from my AOBR boxed set.


Here is the one particular hunter killer missile conversion that I thought came out well.


This second batch is all using standard missile launchers


The commander here has a fire warrior gadget that I purged off of a dead tau. I am going to turn it into some kind of ghost buster EKG meter looking thing. who knows.


Here is my last squad, again, I haven AOBR part in there as well.


Here is my favorite commander out of the bunch. I just think he looks like a badass.


Here is my take on Bjorn and 2 dreads. All the arms are magnetized and I have other variants.

I intend to give Bjorn a few more wolf tails and I this week I am going to try and find something to make some claws for him. As I don't quite like the standard Close combat weapon for him. I may do it for all the dreads if it looks right.


Here I glued a storm shield to his arm to kind of represent his 5+ invun save and I added the flamer to the AOBR arm and it fit quite nicely with minimal cutting involved.


The plasma gun is a venerable dread arm that I got on ebay. Notice that I glued the flag as the bottom right part of the flag as well as the base of the flag. I find that if you only glue the base of the flag down, it will break off when you travel with your miniatures.

This is the point that I noticed that I forgot to give my dreads smoke launchers

I will post some pictures of the razorbacks next.

Cool. What color scheme are you going with? The traditional blue-grey or a darker grey? Or something completely different?

I was thinking of something like this.



the shoulder pads are kind of muted. Not the bright yellow that most of the wolves you see.

I like what your doing. I was going to say if you did use spacewolfs grey a black or brown wash helps with that as well as the shoulder pads.

Mayben use Iytanden darksun or whatever its called?

The color I liked was, IIRC, Codex Grey.

Looking forwar to see you moving forward with this.

FOR RUSS!

and if you go with a darker grey use a lighter grey to do some weathering on the armour. I did it when i worked on my valks.

been a while since I had a chance to work on my wolves, but with tournament season around the corner, its time to get to work!!!

With the army finally primed, I finished a test model. Please feel free to critique and offer suggestions.

I have made some progress now on my Thunderwolf calvary. I don't expect that I will buy these again. Way too much greenstuff work to make the models work. I still have work to do, no back packs yet.

Here is my wolf lord. he is using a frost Axe


Here is a guy with a wolf claw



Storm Shield guy


2 regular close combat weapon dudes. One of them will have a melta at some point. I know that one is dual wielding. I just thought it was appropriate

Those are some awesome looking Space Wolves you've made!

Looks like I'm not the only one to make one dual-wield chainswords. Sure there's no added bonus to it, but it sure looks cool!
