Brother Caleb Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm trying to avoid making Canis conversions because he's so expensive. Plus, I really like several of the models shown in the above stickie. However, I'd like to have tourney ready models should I ever get the opportunity. Anyone got any ideas?

Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Plastic Bloodcrushers work out really nicely if you take the time....a guy where I live has a few Did they get released a month ahead of schedule? I have a hard time seeing it. Perhaps I lack the imagination. Filing/shaving/filling in all the chaos parts/indentations. Then green stuff for fur if your going to have any, create a tail brace from a paperclip then green stuff one(if wanted) and sculpting some paws in. The only intersting part will be mounting a marine to it, but that should be doable with a little precise cutting/re-sculpting. They will end up bigger than the canis model simply because of how broad they are but then again, personal opinion here, that just makes them look more BA.

Skirax Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I was at Warhammer world for the War on Terra campaign in May and every wolf player was using Mr Dandy models and the organisers had no issues You went to the Siege of Terra? Same! ^_^ I'm Skiraxion on the TF website, and I'm pretty much the only Wolf Brother going ;) As for what is allowed, I'd just bulk up Wargs.

CaptainForge Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm gonna make my own Lukas the Trickster using parts from the Space Wolve Pack, and Space Marine Commander...it has a plasma pistol with a scope, not quite the eldar scope, but I think I can GS it. I will GS fur on his shoulder pads, and possible his head, but there is one that comes close to the actual model. So pretty much every thing you see on his metal version I think I can rig from the plastic parts. I'm also studying on how to do Njal, but that's going to take some thought.

Oh why would we Wolves, want to make the most wolfish wolf models look like Blood Angels, tell me why or I'll set B. A. Baracus onto you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell93 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You could use the high elf lions and give them fur and a better face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbrow II Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Shameless plug. They're in the Thunderwolf Cavalry post. I've been trying to make these for a while and they're 95% done, needing a bit of base work and transfers. I took them to a tournament last weekend and no-one had any problems with them. They're all GW parts and are a decent size; you'll get an idea from the first pic with the Dread in between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I lack the imagination. I gave the bloodcrushers another look, and it hit me. I want pretty furry thunderwolves. Most of what was hanging me up, namely all the chaos paraphernalia, could be covered with furry. Which really leaves shaving down the shoulders and doing something with the head and feet. This looks much more promising. Though they look a bit small in the GW website pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I trust they are, but I cannot seem to see it in the pics. I need a reference point. Take the size of the base and how the size of a base relates to the size of a Dreadnought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Caleb Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Still kind of tough for me. However, I'm getting used to the idea. I like that they're basically rhinos, which fits the codex entry's description of them as closer to rhino physiology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Plastic Bloodcrushers are available for pre-order from GW. Coming out on the 21st of August. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod890007a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Son of Russ Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Um Wargs make brilliant thunderwolves, but i think you should try and like phone up/ contact the games workshop community and asked what would be deemed legal, i mean earlier in the post someone said that mr dandy wolves are viable, so anything can happen probably.

Roland Durendal Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm working on doing the HE Lion Chariot conversions. Get a bunch of Fen wolf heads, some green stuff, and a couple of HE Chariots, and kitbash those lions into massive wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the wargs that big? Since I was thinkign of buying some and use for fenrisian wolves not Thunderwolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahli Llama Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Has anyone tried using the Boars from the new Orc Boar Boyz set as TWC mounts? If they are big enough for Orc to ride, then I would think that Marines would look alright on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
