Thread: Heresy Era Space Wolves

Wyrd bi∂ ful aræd

When I first started Space Marines I heard about Space Wolves and thought that was cool, but it was just a little too comic in comparison to some of the other viking era non-ficiton and fiction I've read. However, more than a year later, I really like the re-visioned Pre-Heresy Space Wolves with thier "stormcloud" or "mid night" gray armor and 'murdermake' feel from the HH books.

So, I was influenced by the Space Wolves blog (http://space-wolves-grey.blogspot.co...ce-wolves.html) and I decided to make my own Heresy Era Space Wolves. Fate is indeed inexorable it would seem.

I've decided to make an all foot army that will move forward hiding behind a shield wall of 15x Blood Claws with an attached Rune Priest (using Stormcloud) and a Wolf priest with Saga of the Hunter for Stealth. All told, this should give them a 4+ cover save in the open and about 34 inches of frontage for my other Wolves to also get 4+ covers behind. I decided to give them all wooden shields to go along with some of the descriptions from the HH books. Should make a proper skjaldborg for my Space Vikings.

Here's some pic's for the skjaldborg squad:

First I had to make some plates to be molded. Just wooden chits that I carved on:


Then I made my Greenstuff/ Miliput molds - I like pure greenstuff for molds now:


Wasn't too happy with Greenstuff shields - too flimsy


Miliput and GS/MP mixed shields


Battle damage added with a knife individually to the shields so the look different...
