SW1 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 My brother has picked up the 40k boxed game and he's wanting me to convert up some of the Primaris into Wulfen for him. Are they close in scale or will it be a ball ache to chop shop them together? I'm hoping tossing a box of Wulfen in with the Primaris bolter rifle ones will give us a good start. Maybe use some of the leather boots I have left over from plundering a Chaos Warriors box for bits? Does this sound doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Looking forward to an answer to this, as I plan to try the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Primaris and Wulfen mesh very well together - there are previous conversions available on B&C that I cannot access on mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah, you can make really good Wulfen conversions off of a Primaris base. Im actually working on a squad or two myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthstar Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I was all prepped to do this, but then the fluff really bugged me. Primaris are supposedly immune to the weaknesses of the chapters, so 99% likely Primaris can't become Wulfen. I might still do it since it'll give me a lot more wulfen bodies though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hmm I guess I thought that was the intention but they don’t really know how the modifications to the gene seed actually panned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vigitant Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It always seemed hinted that the full extent of the canis helix wasnt just a gene-seed corruption, but tied into Fenris as well. If Rune priests are actually sorcerors(though not Chaos sorcerors, of course), then perhaps there is something uncanny about Fenris that has changed the Legion.But, eh, lore changes all the time. Go with whatever makes a good story/army look for you. No point in trying to hold true to GW's lore when they change it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquigg Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 That actually looks really good well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthstar Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well Blood Angels Primaris are immune to the Red Thirst, so my money is on the Space Wolf version being the exact same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I plan on doing the same with the box of wulfen I got for my birthday a year ago. I really dislike the look of the stock kit but with some touches of the primaris armor it actually has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Caldersson Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well Blood Angels Primaris are immune to the Red Thirst, so my money is on the Space Wolf version being the exact same. They aren't immune. The effects are slightly different maybe however there was a BA chaplain who went with the Primaris and is sickened at the devastation they caused. They also didn't partake in drinking a BA Priest blood, which may mean that they don't have the complete geneseed. It would be like our Primaris not partaking of the Cup of Wulfen, so their geneseed isn't complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually a bit of oooold fluff, where it talks about the Canis Helix actually being part of what the original colonists on Fenris had as far as a genetic modification to make them able to withstand the harsh environment of deathworlds, and it just so happened that was what was needed to stabilize the Space Wolf geneseed. Because the Emprah and the Warp work in mysterious ways. I need to find that bit again, it was just a tiny blurb in a sidebar somewhere. Maybe the 2e codex or the index astartes article from back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it then went on to talk about them turning into fenrisian wolves when it went wrong hence the "there are no wolves on fenris" line. It has been a long time since I've read that stuff though could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The blurb Im thinking of was well before Prospero Burns, but its possible the idea was covered there as well. Still haven't gotten around to reading that. I'm gonna dig through some books this weekend and see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Wasn't it in a WD article or might have been in an early codex. We're talking about back in the 1990's I think. *applies rose tinted glasses* Yes the good old days!!! *takes off rose tinted glasses* :lol: It was touched upon in the HH series (might have been Prospero Burns) but the original fluff it's harping on about is proper old school. Lol ... If it's in a SW codex I'll have it and if it's in a WD I'll probably have it on one of the archive stacks (shelves in the living room).

CaptainStabby Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Im thinking you're right about the WD article. It's not in the 2/3/5e codex, nor in the Index Astartes article. I couldn't begin to guess at which one, though it would probably be early 3rd ed if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
