[Jamesknouse]

Hello all! I am new to the forum and wanted to start a thread on my Space wolves army. More images to follow...

My buddy has an old Space Wolves army, and he loves that sculpt. What model/parts are those?

EDIT: Also, just as I pulled up the full-size pic, my music play skipped to the Skyrim theme song. Very fitting. :P

[Dimitrios]

Great looking model. The bionics around his left wrist look a little thin... Could I suggest adding some cables or maybe some green stuff work, to make it look a little more robust? :)

I spend lots of money to kitbash everything I see :)

The pic I posted was an older one. I did a few touch ups. I use Bjorn as himself and as a Lone Wolf... Pics to follow of the Lone Wolf set up.

While not officially done I wanted to post a few photos of my Warhound. He is scratch built from foam card and model train parts and yes... that is a wolf skull.

I am currently laser cutting some icons for the sides of his shell.

Wow they are great mini's, what the hell inspired you to use an actual wolf skull as the cockpit? (I assume its a plastic replica and not a real bone one, otherwise that would be really creepy...)

[Jamesknouse]

Bjorn the Fellhanded.

I believe I painting this in 2001.... Old school days...

I have been a fan of Bjorn for a longtime. Hence the construction of him pre-dread "incarceration". My only issue with that build is knowing which arm to make bionic and which a claw. All in all it really doesn't matter I guess.

I will post pics of my Rune Priests and Iron Priest with Cyberwolves next.

Thanks for checking my thread out. It feels good to show my work off after it being in construction so long.

It is a real skull.

I took my inspiration from Urik the Slayer. I plan on making another to pair him up. I would like to make the next one all "lightning claws" although there are no rules for this. In my imagination one warhound hunts with his Turbo Lasers and the other stalks with his claws to shred rever titans.

[Jamesknouse]

Even though I am not yet finished I wanted to lay some primer on my Warhound. A local shop is having a Apocalypse game Feb 22nd and I wanted to bring him.

When I originally designed the mid-section there were no gears and I thought it looked to empty.

I am waiting to wire the skull with LEDs. When I do there should be a slight glow from the teeth and through the mesh.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I like it! Maybe it should be a real skull in the fluff, too - say, the Space Wolves found a truly gigantic wolf skeleton in the ice around the Fang, and decided it was a sign from Russ/the Allfather.

[jd2x.pacman]

Awesome! I showed my wife and the look on her face when I told her that was a real skull was hilarious.

[Jamesknouse]

Haha! Yeah... The skull ads a certain aspect to it for sure!

My LED's came in the mail. I will ad some more photos after I install them.

[Jamesknouse]

I added my LEDs. I I am almost sure of the placement of them. There are two red in the skull and two red lighting up the engine compartment. Two forward facing green and two green lighting up the shoulder.

This is the shoulder. You can also see the engine compartment lit up from the side

I absolutely love it :). Great work!
