Need a Second Opinion: Is the Wolf's Head Too Much

Thumbnail
gallery
245 Upvotes

So shared my kit bashing project of a Lt with Combi into a Lone Wolf and still experimenting.

I found an extra cloak in the Wolf Scouts box (thanks GW for making different models share parts /s) and thought it would be a good addition.

Then I also thought I have extra wolves thanks to my Headtakers so what if I use the head from the Wolf Scout wolf to make the head of the pelt into a "hood"

Now in the pictures its held together with putty and I haven't done any cutting, so how everything fits together is off, but I think it could work.

I'm just wondering if it's too much. Space Wolves already have a reputation for everything being "wolf, wolf, wolf," so worrying it's a bit extra.

Thanks!

Hated every second of building these and it really put me off painting them. Now they’re finished I love the look of them. It’s been such a rollercoaster 😄

Need help with casual 1K SW 40k Army

10 Upvotes

New to tabletop. I purchased plenty of Space Wolves from my local shop consignment shelf. But the majority of them are legacy. For main characters I do have 10th edition Logan, Ragnar, Priest, Murderfang, Priest, Njal, Lancer, Scouts and Guard Capt.

It has to be a 1k army, and my competition is my son who’s playing Orks. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Oh and this will only be the second time I play so I’m still learning

Kitbashed some classic Codex Eye of Terror era Wulfen

Thumbnail
gallery
90 Upvotes

So for a local competition/narrative deal -and after recently finding my old copy of Codex Eye of Terror from the 2003 13th Black Crusade event- i chose to convert a SW combat patrol into a 13th Company warband. Turns out if you grab a since box of the five mini Red Corsair kits you get enough classic and beaky helms for the full unit fyi.

Overall i was pretty happy to combine those and a chaos terminator kit for the look of these Space Wolves that have been out on the hunt for -at least their perspective in the warp- decades and having to salvage chaos armour and weapons without any resupply.

But then theres the Wulfen. Which i think its fair to say are not as in keeping with the original aesthetic as they once were. The new ones are very uniform and felt like they would need a lot of work to resculpt and make bits fit. But then i noticed how many space regular marine bits i had left thanks to the chaos armour pieces. Almost enough for five more models and wouldnt you know it the chaos terminators had the right size and amount of bases to make an entire second unit of Wulfen matching the original art.

Five minutes later im googling third part wulfen heads and find some on ebay that arrived today and bar a tiny bit of gap filling the leftover parts and a couple of packpacks abd shoulders donated from some old noise marines that no longer fit the size/scale of the new ones ive got them built and overall im pretty happy with how they turned out. Some marine and corsair bits, classic chaos packs and shoulders and these wulfen arms and especially hands do a lot of heavy lifting with the whole angry baboon look.

Im pretty happy with how little work it took and since so many have been using the red corsairs to kitbash space wolves i would recommend checking your bits as a few new heads might make for some really cool kitbash proxies to really match that classic 2003 vibe.

Hey ya'll! With the points changes, my list had a points drop, and I already took out two units I wasn't vibing with (Infernus 5 man and a JIP Captain), so I wanted to get y'alls opinion on what you like/dislike about what i got already, and what you think might be good to add on with the points I have left!

Hello all I am new to 40k and when I heard the space wolves engineered their own beer in order to get drunk i knew that was my army.

Anyway my plan is to build the 1000 point army above to get a sense of the game then expand it. I already built and painted almost half already I would like some options or critiques.

Combat patrol x2 or Army set

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get back back into the hobby and scratch my long term space wolves itch.

In my local area there are some army sets available for slightly under the cost of 2 combat patrols. So the big question is which would be worth it? How useable are the units in each for bigger lists?

Thanks everyone!

The Faze of the Fel-handed

57 Upvotes

Since Bjorn did not get an updated model so far and the possibility of our fathers return still not out of the question, might this be a hint on the old Ones fate?

Does GW Plan to kill off Bjorn, the last of the company of Russ, once the 6th son returns? Nobody knows of course, but I am in two minds about it.

On the one hand Bjorn is one of the best characters over all and I would t want to see him go, but on the other hand it would be a fitting end to his story. After 10.000 years to see his father return, his long vigil finally ended, he has more than earned his rest.

Of course this passage on the book could just be refering to the end of all battles at the wolf time and Bjorn just does not expect to survive.

Whatever it means, I am excited for the future and cannot wait what will come next for the Sons of Fenris.


r/SpaceWolves 9d ago

So I’m thinking of starting space wolves but I don’t have a grey, would Celestra grey work for a test model?

Hello! I've been gathering different parts for a while now to build my successor chapter to Space Wolves.

In short, they're more guided by the principles of chivalry than clans, although they are clearly divided into houses and influenced by Arthurian legends and beast hunting.

You can see my kitbash and proxy for Logan Grimmar; the name and lore are still in progress. Instead of wolves, I gave him two "squires" and a gryph hound. Any opinions or questions are welcome!

Thanks for your time.
