I looked all over the internet including Space Wolves blogs and forums, most of their pre-heresy conversion were using Chaos Warriors as a basis. So this is great and I don't have to spend so much on FW stuffs. CW are suitable due to their cape attached with Wolf's fur and pelt. This will work great on pre-heresy SW as it compliments their barbaric and savage look (though they're not stupid as they appear) The Horus Heresy - Collected Visions, have tons of pre-heresy pictures and I drew some of my inspirations from there.
So the basic components for this conversion are simple; Chaos Warriors, Space Wolves sprues and Green Stuff. My main goal here is try to make them as 'hairy' as possible and most of them will have that cape. Green Stuff will help to create more fur and also to cover up any gaps.
Well this is just the beginning and quite happy with the preliminary test. I will look for other ways to make them more pre-heresy. For now I'm going to paint this test models and see how they turnout. I will post more pictures soon.
Now back to my Night Lords, only 4 Jump Assault squad and a Stormraven to finish. Then I'm good for the battlefield. Laters..
Your the first to start on this project bro!!! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteActually we plan to start march 2012 not finish it by 2012 ok hehehe. Lets let everyone collect all the models they need and finish their current projects.
Plus its not a compulsory 1k force. Depends on your personal commitment. Lets make this a group build to remember!!!

ReplyDeleteI've only just begun my Word Bearers, but I'm with you dude. Nice putty work! Looking great thus far
ReplyDelete@ Vuel: Actually I do have a friend name Fenrika, Indonesian girl during my study in the States hehe
ReplyDeleteCustodes, wow. That's no easy feat. What codex will u based them on?
@spunkybass: Thanks dude! I can't wait to see ur progress as well, show some teaser in ur new and shiny blog la, hehe..
@deathkorps: Thanks dude! Ur Word Bearers, knowing u, will turnout awesome as usual! I will update more as I progress.
codex?..dunno yet..could be either Grey Knights or Black Templar..
ReplyDeleteprobably just do the models first, then decide on the codex later..
I think Grey Knights would be suitable for Thousand Sons due to their aetheric abilities such as kine shields and numerous psychic powers.
ReplyDeleteCustodes don't employ any psychic abilities as what I read in all of the heresy novels thus far. Black Templar is more suitable me thinks. But its up to u dude!
