Here are some pictures of my Space Wolves, one of the armies
that sidetracked me on my long journey back to the Orks.
These guys still hold a special place in my heart. I put
a lot of sweat into building and painting them and I won
a local tournament with these lads.
My modelling skills have come a long way since making this
army. You'll probably see a fair few mold lines in these
pictures as well as a few painting flaws.

HQ Units
|
 |
Wulfgar
Whitemane and Bodyguard
My Wolf Lord and his retinue of Wolf
Guard Terminators. I run these guys in a drop pod so they
can drop in wherever they are needed. Once on the ground,
they open up with 2 assault cannons and 3 bolter/plasma
combi-weapons. OUCH! And for close encounters, Wulfgar is
armed with a Frost Blade while the bodyguard has 2 power
weapons, a powerfist, and a chainfist. These lads are pretty
expensive, but they are soooo worth it. |
 |
Magnus
the Mighty
My Venerable Dreadnought, Magnus is
the centerpeice of my army. I never leave home without this
guy. Not only does he use up one of the many HQ slots that
the Wolves are required to take, he's a dead hard Dreadnought
to boot. I run him with an Assault Cannon and Close Combat
Weapon so he tear through things at range as well as close
up. |
 |
Logan
Stormclaw
My Rune Priest armed with Lightning
Claws. This guy is one of my favorite characters. He's a
real monster in close combat, and tears through enemies
like butter. He's got a nasty reputation amongst many of
my opponenents, with good reason, so I generally stick him
with a pack of Grey Hunters as a bodyguard to help soak
up some of the fire that comes his way. |
 |
Ulric
Ironfist
If you're looking for a dead hard Space
Wolf HQ and you're tight on points, you can't go wrong with
a Wolf Priest. This Space Wolf version of a Chaplain comes
armed to the teeth with just his basic equipment. I tend
to load him up a bit more, making him a tad more expensive,
but he's still a bargain compared to some of the other choices
available to the Wolves. |
Elites
|
 |
Jorin's
Wolf Scouts
Led by Jorin Icewolf (a Wolf Guard Leader
with a Powerfist), this nasty pack of scouts is always a
pain in my opponent's ass. Literally. I use their 'Behind
the Lines' ability to pop up in the enemy's back line and
start tearing things up. In addition to Jorin's powerfist,
there are two power weapons and a meltagun in the squad.
These guys have turned the tide of many a game. |
Troops
|
 |
Hargan's
Hunters
This pack of Grey Hunter's is led by
Hargan Stormhammer, armed with a Thunderhammer. The rest
of the pack is armed with bolters, with several specialists
toting a power weapon, a powerfist, and a meltagun. There
isn't much they can't handle. |
 |
Thor's
Blood Claws
Thor Thunderfist leads this hot-headed
pack of Blood Claws. Blood Claws aren't much at shooting
so these guys are loaded purely for close combat. In addition
to Thor's powerfist, there is another powerfist as well
as a power weapon in the pack. I tend to jam these guys
right into the thick of things. The tend to make a real
mess of whatever they hit. |
 |
Grey
Hunters
I run this pack of Grey Hunters without
a pack leader. This isn't to say they are any less effective
than the other two packs. Far from it. These guys act as
a bodyguard for one of my HQ units, usually Logan Stormclaw.
They are armed in my standard Grey Hunter fashion; bolters,
power weapon, powerfist, and meltagun, meaning they can
tackle damn near anything and come out of top. |
Transport Vehicles
|
 |
Hargan's
Rhino
Just a standard Rhino Troop Transport,
armed with a Storm Bolter, Extra Armor and Smoke Launchers.
The lightning bolt symbol on the front fender matches the
pack insignia on the shoulder pauldrons of Hargan and his
boys.. |
 |
Thor's
Rhino
Just like Hargan's Rhino. Same armament
and the pack insignia on the fenders. |
 |
Grey
Hunter's Rhino
Just like the other Rhinos, with the
same armament and the pack insignia on the fenders. |
 |
Drop
Pod
I made this baby loooong before the
new plastic drop pod was available from Games Workshop.
Back in the day, the only game in town for Drop Pods was
Forgeworld. A resin model with a hefty price tag and flimsy
door hinges that broke easily. To hell with that. My Drop
Pod is made from balsa wood and the cardboard from a cereal
box. It may not have the same detail as the Forgeworld pod,
but it was a LOT cheaper. |
Fast Attack
|
 |
Attack
Bike Squadron
I used to ride motorcycles. I can tell
you from experience, sidecars are NOT off-road equipment.
Instead of the standard GW models, I wanted something less
'low-rider' looking for my attack bikes. I converted up
these babies to look like they could handle some serious
rough terrain and still dish out the pain. I've also cooked
up a bit of a tutorial for
folks interested in making their own. |
Heavy Support
|
 |
Whirlwind
This is Vanir, my whirlwind. This thing
has showered death on many an enemy. It's one my favorite
models. It's cheap, and can hide behind terrain while it
rains down some nasty artillery on the enemy.
