Levitas Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I like the sound of fenrisian wolves, cheap and a possible nuisance/early strike unit. But then I looked on GWs site and..holy crap! fifteen bucks each??? and less than pretty models to boot. Is there a better option? or will GW release cool plastics in the 2nd wave (with nice cyberwolf bits). Or maybe they will release thunder wolves, then we can magatize rider and use wolf for either single or mount. Either way, it would be nice to get some sort of wolf release 2nd wave. A friend suggested the chaos warhound set (certainly better priced than the goblin wolfriders ones. But not totally wolfy enough. Thoughts??

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm going to use some of the old models pictured in the 3rd edition codex or failing that some WFB chaos warhounds. Personally I like the look of the older wolf models. Cheers Thorgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I purchased most of mine from the Goblin Wolf Riders box set. For about the same price as a Space Marine Squad. I also kept an eye out on ebay for Vampire Count Armies from Fantasy Battle which also use Wolves without riders and the majority of the time they're also painted. There are certainly nicer models to use over the FB wolves, but I have found none that are more financially pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistinthunder Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 thunder wolves are >/= bloodcrushers. or in lay man terms thunder wolves are BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirnir Ragefang Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'll probably get mine from Reaper or the Gamezone Range of Goblin models. I hate the GW Goblin Wolf rider wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Back when I was going to do a EoT 13th Co., I purchased 45 Dire Wolves, so I'm set. These should be less than 15 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrickthegrey Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have used the Worgs from the Worg rider set from Lord of the rings. They are bigger then the Dire wolves, but they have a 25mm base if I remember correctly. So if facing a template happy army, that could be a problem. The other thing is that now that wolves take 2 slots, they are on the same base as the terminators, so I can remember that easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanks Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It's actually only 3 bucks each, the pack contains 5 wolves. Still uglier then hell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 When picking the model first consider that per the dex and fluff wise there there is a huge difference between a Fenris Wolf and a Thunder Wolf. My best comparising would be the difference between a house cat and an American cougar or mountain lion. WG Vrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest the Goblin Wolves.... they are NOT 15 bucks each, they are 3 bucks each- ie 15 for 5. If you want alot of them thats the cheapest your ever going to find them. If you want something prettier... and your local area isnt to anal about "GW models only" you can get the Reaper "Wardogs" from their warlords set.... the elven faction has them. Its like 8.50 for two though, so fairly pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchb0x Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I dunno about you but 5 for 15bucks...is pretty cheap : http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...otCatGameStyle= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrathnar Flintfang Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 5 for 15 honestly sounded a bit steep to me, perhaps because I don't have much money. However after browsing a few mini sites and looking around at prices I am starting to think that they are indeed the cheapest game in town. Honestly short of going though the catalog of every site that produces Minis for both gaming and simple decorative use I don't think we are going to find better than that until GW decides to put out a fenris wolf pack... though they may just tell us to buy Fantasy wolves and lump it. If you want 'nicer looking' options you can get about four reaper minis for a few bucks more, but in the end its up to you if you think they look any better.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'm thinking of using Wulfen as counts as Fensrisian wolves. I'm not sure they will want anyone riding them though, well maybe the odd shield maiden :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Actually... Wulfen as fenrisian wolves might not be a bad idea. Whats the Armor save on the new wolf packs though? Because I doubt its a 3+..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamLando Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Moste people miss this model, so I just feel I have to inform you guys about it. A bit costy for a whole regimant, but as a leader it's pretty neat. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...otCatGameStyle= Just need some Green stuff ofc, to remove the chaos-y bits. But after that, the battle damage and spikes and whatnot makes it look really old, feral and battleworn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Actually... Wulfen as fenrisian wolves might not be a bad idea. Whats the Armor save on the new wolf packs though? Because I doubt its a 3+..... 6+ for normal wolves, 4+ for Cyber. I'll probably just get chaos wolves and cut off spiky bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Might need to go nuts with green stuff if you go with chaos warhounds. They seem a little skinny and there is not much fur on them. Or you don't mean the Chaos Warhounds from fantasy battles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm leaving the chaos wolves as they are, other than removing the mouths on tentacles, but keeping the horns etc as there are no kit, and I like them, as they look to me what I want wolves of the 41st millenium to look like, and I like the furless back parts, even if it isn't for everyone, it is for me. For another cool massive wolf you could use the watcher from Necromunda, it is quite big, but is unique, and next to the thing in the woods could make quite a cool duo of super wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Im told all the tentacles and horns are add ons, and my friends are trying to convince me to get some... but Im really just not sure. One of the bodies has scales, another is immaciated, and Im not 100% on the heads. But 10 for 22 is a heck of a deal if I could make it work. Anyone have a sprue pick for these guys?

stinkenheim Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 if you can wait till monday i'll post some pics cos i'm planning on getting some to give them a go... don't use them often so the cheaper the better as far as im concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 http://www.coolminiornot.com/233809 We can all see what its meant to be, but I don't know if its a model that can be bought or not, but either way, it is nice. I'll have to message him, cos the link on there isn't working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 ok, sorry its taken so long but heres some shots of the chaos hounds. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00801.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00802.jpg and a scale shot http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00803.jpg heres a close up of the hound. as you can see theres a hole where the ears/tentacles/horns etc go into the side of the head so you wll need to make your own ears. shouldn't be too hard. also you need to make a tail for it, i'd say use a bit of wire and lay some GS over it. should again be pretty simple. if you want i can give it a go and post up a tut if it works well and looks good. oh there are also a few gaps on the models, they don't fit together brilliantly but its not hard to fill the gaps http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00805.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/DSC00804.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
