as a side project to my PH Thousand Sons I decided to start a PH Space Wolves force - these two armies are designed to work together with the TS acting as gunline with armour and the SW acting as shcok troops in drop pods.

The starting point for this was a Tale of.... at our local gaming club.

Unfortunately i missed out on month 1 points as the army was unpainted in time - the problem being that all the models (except for the pods) were either scratchbuilds or conversions. This as you can imagine was a timely thing but now I have the capacity to make my marines quickly I can now progress the army at speed and get them looking good for the upcoming battles.


For month 2 we are required to add 250pts and an objctive particular to the army. My 250pts wil either be a long fang squad in a drop pod (2xHB, 2xLC) or Bulveye as a stand in for Ulrik the Slayer with 4 wolves.

It's been very difficult to make the army I want with the Codex Space Wolves restrictions but as i said earlier the SW are only one half of a larger PH force.

images of completed army so far...

and month 2 WIP...

Where'd you get those awesome looking Mark 3 legs? Also is that a Forgeworld Mark 4 body?

Looking good King Fluff.

Looking good so far, I like the crisp and clean paintjob you have made (especially on the drop pods!)

The Mk3 armour is looking good also!

Nice crisp paint job on the Drop-pods.
I like the use of red as a contrast to the dark grey.

Pssst......your dread needs a couple of arms. :ph43r:

I look forward to seeing your updates as your force progresses.

thanks guys for the comments....

:D dread arms are on their way....


the MK3 legs I made from a standard set of MK7 legs just shaved down the back and added GS banding with a little pipe work.

I'm currently working on MK2's which will most probably form the majority of my Grey Hunter squads.

All reds, yellows and greys still need highlighting but you get the basic idea.

Actually it's a MK3 torso - similar to the MK4 but the cables are underslung beneath the arms whereas the MK4 has cables over the top of the front armour plating

Yeah, i noticed that while looking at a Mark 4 body that i had.

Keep up the good work

Nice start to the force, and a good idea on the movement trays I think.

finished the arms for the dreadnought now - basically the FW pattern CC arms with two CSM heavy bolters added to the end instead of the 'hand'. The top sections are shaved down normal arm housings with a bit of plastic card and plastic rod for rivets added to the top, a little GS for filling and it's all done...

Painted pics to follow.

thanks :)

the movement trays were a kind of after thought - I've made sure the basing scheme is the same as my Thousand Sons - the original intention being to make a battle for Prospero scenic board to play out the historic battle over. Although now with the advent of planeststrike I may just make modular Prospero scenery to go on my existing battle board - not a big issue as the board is just slightly less red than the PH basing scheme I'm using.

Those are some awesome figures. some of the most accurate armour mk's I have seen :)

been doing a little work on these guys recently - after looking at them they just didn't scream SPACE WOLF loud enough so I've been GS'ing pelts, teeth and other decorations to make them more space wolfy - also added the arms to the ven.dread with the same pelt treatment.

I've just started my 2nd HQ choice further inspired by Adrian Smith's artwork in collected visions....

Rune Priest Domar Gonnarrsson - lighning claw and runic weapon in terminator armour - last count it was about 25 pieces to make him (before GS'ing).

will post pics soon...

Love the way youve done your dread as well, almost completely in line with the visions of heresy designs. I also love what your doing with your wolflord there, the backpole is very fluffy.

thanks again :)

the ven.dread is based on a forgeworld world eaters dreadnought with the front detailing shaved off and a plastic dreadnought power plant...

glad you like him - will most likely have at least 3 in the finished force as I'm not able to take tanks due to the drop pods... :(

pictures of Domar...

Where did you get that head it looks cool... :o
Nice job by the way with your army by the way! :)

thanks :)

head is the two heads from the chaos space marine terminator lord sliced in half and joined together....

*fiddly* :ph43r:

and the finished article...

next up for these guys....

2 thunder rhinos and a pre-heresy landraider

so a bit of mech support....


The Thunder Rhino (as featured in the collected visions book and the AotE campaign pack)

Nice easy conversion to do just requires some plastic card and rod, green stuff for filling and an extra rear ramp (oh and 4 banblade large exhuasts) ;)









and an interior shot with a Fenris Blood along for the ride...

Oh wow, how did I miss the update on the painted Terminator guy?!

All looking very cool - those Thunder Rhinos are apparently well worth the points. How many you doing?

definately two at the minute but may stretch to three or four - was perhaps going to make a saemunder too - but not to tricky a conversion for that one pretty much a vindicator with pre-heresy side plates. (oh and no big gun :P )

nice work man, those rhinos are realy cool, and are very wolfy :D
keep up the good work man ;)

I decided that I didn't like the idea of all my wolves being helmeted, I do like the completness of a full set of armour however it doesn't scream werewolf space viking to me so I decided to do some bare heads.

Pretty simple work (although the MK5's seem to have their helmets welded on and I caused a bit of damage getting the helmets off :angry: ) just a marauder horseman head with the ball socket cut off another space marine head/helmet both glued together and stuck on.

I did find that some of the hair pieces got in the way so I bent and chopped them til they fit...

Hope you like :P

nice minis man, i really like this army, i hope you keep working on it!

thanks for the encouragement guys....

Ideally I want to take this army to the siege of terra event run by tempus fugitives so gonna have to get my skates on to get a decent sized 2000pt ish army by then :blink:

well small update - I made Bjorn the Fellhanded a while ago and lost him in a bits box before I could greenstuff him and get him painted - now is the wolftime and I had a brainstorm and realised where I'd put him - he was getting down and dirty with three wraithlords (needless to say he won) and so here he is awaiting green stuff (tomorrow) and a decent paintjob.


hope you like (WIP)

My word, those lads certainly are ginger! :D

Looking good, beware the mould lines on Bjorn though!

these lillte beauts managed to win me the Summer of War best painted army at my local store :D

Congratulations. :)

Hope they get nominated for AotE: SoT :P

Awesome stuff! Will be interested to see what you come up with for the thunder rhino, I didn't really see that many which looked that good at AoTE! I think you should physically try and fit ten marines so they are all visible through the whole in the roof :)

Too true.

I think the main problem with them is people just got lazy and clipped off the top, I've tried to make mine a bit different by a, removing the seats b, making the side doors invisible and c, extending the back ramp like the artwork.

I might see if i can do like FW did with the gorgon and literally glue together 10 marines to fit in the space (possibly only 9 with the driver in the cab). :P

it is all painted now but as with everything it is still waiting decals and highlighting. Will be doing a Saemunder or two aswell and a few PH landraiders.

so a few tit bits following the release of the new plastics....

managed to get in early to the bits sites so I have some juicy parts on their way to me.

so wip terminator squad....

still needs fur GS under the shoulder guards and possibly a face guard although i'm undecided as yet.



Bjorn the Fellhanded - redid him with bits from the orignal conversion incorporating the new plastics...




and as a little sideline I've been dabbling with admech as a support force for siege of terra.

first up is Praetorian Auxilia.

Oh and nearly forgot the prototype for my Mk2's is done, will be doing some Terran born Fenris hunters very similar to the luna wolves on the cover of the HH books, with the spike on the helm and the roman-esque plume for sgts, perhaps a few pelts but quite plain in the majority.

on your wip termie, are they termy arms or normal marine ones???

just the normal marine ones - I've found they offer more poseability and less bulk meaning more space for strapping, fur etc.

Also have a sqaud of wolf claw armed guys planned, using marine arms with the claw from the chaos termie lord as the lighning claw - similar to the rune priest i posted earlier.

Are those drop pod ramps made of resin?
