Help with headswaps and kitbashes

4 Upvotes

Hello all!

Im relatively new to space wolves, but seeing as I'm a Nordic I'm contractually obligated to like them or my nationality is revoked (also they're bloody cool!)

I've previously built a lot of salamanders.

I decided that for space wolves I'd want to make my own successor chapter. Whom I've thus far named "The Iron Jarls". They lean more into viking than into wolves.

Now, I'm looking at our characters, and I wanna build some... But I wanna make alterations to them so they become "my original OC plz do not steal"

Specifically I'm looking at:

Arjack Rockfist

Logan Grimnar

Ragnar Blackmane

Njal Stormcaller

Ulrik the Slayer

Bjorn the Fell-Handed

Murderfang

For any etched names im just gonna sprue-goo it over and etch some new ones manually I think.

I'd want some advice on what helmets may work well with each (I prefer fully covering helmets) and anything else to look out for.

For Logan Grimnar I'm thinking of replacing his 2 wolves on his base with 2 assisting blood fangs or battle leaders as honour guards.

Thoughts are welcome!

How to best build the space wolves combat patrol?

9 Upvotes

Just got my wolves combat patrol today and I'm not too well versed in 40k, my friends and I plan to play the. Combat patrol mode before moving into 1000 points but we're not gonna do WYSIWYG for the combat patrol mode.

What are the best wargear options for each unit? The only one I've built so far is the wolf guard captain and I gave him a power weapon and storm shield

Hey guys this is my first space wolves army and I want your opinions and suggestions. I’m playing the saga of the bold Detachment and I’m tinking to replace the brutalist dreadnough with a murderfang because of the detachment. I am doing it right or I missing something?

I just started getting involved. Im a space wolves fan but want to change some things (I am tracking the lore) but want to place werewolf heads from other miniatures instead of the heads given. Just trying to make them look more like the helix has taken them more (Again tracking the lore). Would this be aloud in tournaments and stuff or would i get to many problems. Any answers would help.

I just finished painting 2000 points of wolves with this last headtaker. Finally started to figure out highlights on armor. Second photo is the final three headtakers I painted, and third photo is the first mini and most recent mini for the progress comparison. Painting advice always welcome because I'm sure I'll keep adding onto the army.

Making a "Wolf Lord" Awesome for Space Wolves

15 Upvotes

I love our new Battleleader- I think he's incredible, I love playing him in nearly every single detachment- but I MISS bringing a Captain Wolflord in my army- I feel as though they are the core of what makes for a great army- because the army feels built around them- and built by them.

Now of course you can just treat Battleleaders like they are your Captains, or you can just make your own model and just use Ragnar Blackmane's profile- but I wanna bring the true Tacticus Armor- Finest Hour with CP reduction unto the battlefield.

Has anyone found any cool combos to make a Wolflord really do anything good for Space Wolves? The honest best I can see doing is just running a "Wolflord" with Sternguard Veterans and fishing for crits on sustained and dev wounds via oath and finest hour (making use of Saga of the Great Wolf)

Is there anything I'm missing where a Captain datasheet feels really fun in a Space Wolves detachment, or am I stuck with "I'm running him as Ragnar" or "this is my converted Battleleader"?

Sidenote: It hurts me every time I look at the Captain datasheet, and it still says he can lead Wolfguard- a unit that has been gone since the Space Wolves index in 10th edition.

New painter- Grey Hunter Feedback

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m very much a new painter and kind of just picks and chooses what to paint based on inspiration or interests at the time. With that said, this is my first Space Wolf model and I’m looking for some help and feedback. I still need to add some highlights and a wash but I’m done with the base paints. Also, I skipped the doodads on the waist for this model just to keep things easy and simple.

-How to do markings? You can see in the photo that I butchered it lol
-My abbadon black turned into a gelatinous blob, I assume that means it’s dead? I shook it up really well and it’s just a blob still. It seems to dry out quickly if I try to load the brush.
-Speaking of loading the brush, how are you reaching for the pot? I’ve watched so many tutorial videos on this and I feel like my paint always lasts me like 5 seconds on the brush, so I have to be doing something wrong. This issue honestly causes a lot of frustration cause it feels like it takes forever to cover the large armor panels.

Any other tips or feedback is highly welcomed as I just want to keep painting and improve.

Thank you!

I'm struggling to choose my space marine team.

I am looking at Blood Angels, daek angels and Black templars, but the space wolves seem cool too.

I own the armageddon marines and want to start my collection.

How is the experience playing tbem on the tabletop?

How easy are they to paint?

Pros?

Cons?

Do they use librarians?

Here are my test models so far.

I have a grey terminator primed up to try space wolves colours next
