Haakon Ironheart Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Converted from High Elf Lions, I think it captures the spirit well enough...Lots of Greenstuff to cover the body as fur and actually it was my first try at sculpting sth as a wolf head...I am especially proud of the Rider and his frostblade. I hope you like them both as much as I do!!!

I think Canis comes on a 60mm doesn't he? V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 wow, i hate you. no, sorry, just jealous as my attempt came out nowhere near as awesome as yours. can i ask what you made the saddle out of? WLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Ironheart Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Canis is a special Character so I dont think there is a need to put them in larger bases as there is not a GW model for thunderwolf cavalry yet . Canis' wolf is the largest thunderwolf so it deserves a large base and you should take into account Canis' special rule about the attacks he gets. This rule does not apply to thunderwolf cavalry so I think the base is ok. My two cents...Thanks for your fast reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thats a really good bit of work there well done. As for the base size I reckon the 60mm would be better but as you say we dont have a Thunderwolf model to go by except Canis. However on the same note you say Canis get a bigger base size because he is a special character and largest wolf etc but we wouldnt put a normal power armoured marine on a larger base because of his fluff. At the end of the day its your mini so go with what you feel like going with :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets as many attacks as opponents in base combat. This rule does not apply to other TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets as many attacks as opponents in base combat. This rule does not apply to other TC. I would still put the TWC on at least a 40mm "Terminator" sized base. The 25mm just looks funny when the model sticks over the edges so far. And, for the record, I actually have put some of my powered armor IC's on larger bases (Ragnar and my Wolf Priest), because they stand out as ICs on 40mm bases.

whitewolfmxc Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 how did you do the wolf head with green stuff ? i find it too hard for me to push in such an big item of green stuff attached to the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaScotius Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Fantastic work! Could you possibly show a picture taken from the front of the model, I'm intrigued as to how the wolf's head turned out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am going to do at least 3 of them plus Canis. I am actually adding wolfy stuff to my 13th Company in order to have them ready for GT 2010. I have some 10000pt. of "shadow grey" wolves too but I realised I like codex grey a lot more. In time you will see the rest of my army... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I would say not only one of the best, but THE best conversion. I like how you sculpted fur. It doesn,t cover muscle structure too much, how did you do it?. I wish to look at the wolf maw (hmm it's sound silly, but still...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
