Legio VI
Legio VI
Following on from Justin's inspired (ie stolen from every other gaming forum) idea I have decided to set up a blog myself for my ongoing war of attrition with getting my Space Wolves built and painted.
Since this is the first post I figured I would share some of my newly built (not even a base coat yet) models that I put together recently.
First of all two Wolf Scouts
I already have 5 scouts, but two of them are lacking any wolfy bits at all so I decided to build a couple using the custom Wolf Scout parts that come in the new set.
Next up is a Blood Claw, a Grey Hunter and a Wolf Guard.
Sadly the pose on the Wolf Guard isnt great. The way they have the Lightning Claw posed isnt so great, and the guy's beard just kept getting in the way.

Re: Legio VI
Those are some really nice pictures man and you were 100% right they do not look anything like Ultramarines... Are you going to do them in standard SW colors or are you going to do anything fancy with them?

Re: Legio VI
As Space Wolves have no successors, they'll be in standard Space Wolf colours, just like the rest of my Space Wolves.Admiral-Badruck wrote:Those are some really nice pictures man and you were 100% right they do not look anything like Ultramarines...

Re: Legio VI
Interesting that you would use the legio name instead of the chapter name. Is is going to be a 30k compatible army as well?
It's easy to die in the swamp. What's hard is to staying dead.

Re: Legio VI
Thats going to be the goal. Actually, it is one of the easiest armies to switch over since they never really changed. They just need some Saemunder Rhinos building and a couple of special characters.Colonel Voss wrote:Interesting that you would use the legio name instead of the chapter name.

Re: Legio VI
zomgorz the space wolves sprue kit is awesomeful. I might have to get one even if just for the heads! great poses, very fitting.
Re: Legio VI
The Wolf Sprue contains EVERY weapon you can give to any of the power armoured marines in the dex with the sole exception of flamers and meltas (though plasma is there). There are something like 25+ heads on the sprue (5 for scouts the rest for marines). It is truly a marvelous kit.jus wrote:zomgorz the space wolves sprue kit is awesomeful.

Re: Legio VI
Well, I got up early today and got some more work done. I finished a Wolf Scout that I had base coated some time ago.
The icon on his left shoulder is Ragnar Blackmane's Great Company, done freehand. I'm not very good at painting freehand designs so I used a Gundam Marker Pen designed for the job. The icon on his right shoulder denotes which Scout Pack he belongs to.
