Hammer of wrath comes to Fenris


A a howl of wind, a blur of grey... and suddenly the Wolves are among you!!

You may remember an earlier post centering around Morkai's new Blood Claw pack. Well with the use of a few magnets the young Wolves and their minders have been kitted out with Jump packs, although not without grumbling from the Wolf priest and the Wolf Guard. Also, the pack has been given a power axe and hence a little more grunt.

Although some of the poses are a little clumsy as a result of the magnets i'm really chuffed with this pack as it's been by far my largest project to date and has given me the choice of getting a large assault threat close to the opponent with or without the use of Land Raider... that and I've always loved the look of the jump packs.

The next project will involve some serious heavy hitters and much more howling.

Fast, Nimble... Deadly

Here we have a project which has taken far too long - Landspeeders. For game purposes these would be played as regular Landspeeders with a Multimelta and a Heavy flamer but for modelling purposes the Space Wolf Scouts have taken a shine to the Landspeeder Storm, kitted it out with additional heavy bolters in the doors and crammed enough kit into the compartments as possible. The 'theme' for the various little add-ons is based around the idea of the speeders being used to exfiltrate a 2 scout sniper team (1 spotter, 1 rifle), from hostile territory.... Probably should have stripped out a few of the weapons in the pursuit of speed but let's face it that was never going to happen.

There are a few little details i'm rather proud of:

- Heavy bolter 'sponsons'
- Fully detailed interiors

Yellow marked 'speeder:
- Axe, kit bag, fuel, ammo tin and spare Heavy Bolter stowed
- Sniper having removed the Heavy Bolter sponson to pick off targets with rifle instead

White marked 'speeder:
- Scout carrying Multimelta in front seat stood on ammo crates
- Spare sniper rifle

Next post - blood claws are packin' more than just bolt pistols and chainswords...
