Big Jim's Space Wolves Kill Team Project

Hello loyal Sons of Russ,
I have been absent from the Space Wolves blog for far too long. Life has kept me pretty busy in the last few months. It has been tough enough managing my own blog, leaving me unable to contribute good content here. That is all changing staring today.

If you follow the crazyness on my Galaxy in Flames blog you will know that I am working on a skirmish variant for 40k called Special Operations Killzone. For those that have not seen or heard about, imagine 40k, killteam (both versions) and elements from Necromunda all mashed together.

I am modeling a Space Wolves skirmish force where each miniature will be a custom conversion. Some will be complicated other will be very basic. I have named each model as they will each be a character in their own right.

The made up premise behind the force; when a Space Wolves Great Company is required to send a group of warriors on a special mission they always send a force of twelve in number; one in honor of each of the Chapters Great Companies.

Halga = Wolf Guard with Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon
Roneth = Wolf Guard with Frost Blade, Stormshield
Olaf = Lone Wolf with Lightning Claws
Wulfgar = Wolf Scout
Edgtho = Wolf Scout with Power Weapon
Rethel = Wolf Scout with Sniper Rifle
Skeld = Long Fang with Heavy Bolter
Helfdane = Grey Hunter with Power Weapon
Hyglak = Grey Hunter with Plasma Gun
Haltaf = Grey Hunter with Flamer
Ulfendel = Grey Hunter with Mark of the Wulfen
Ragnar = Blood Claw with Power Weapon

Here are the first three conversions.







This is Wulfgar the Wolf Scout; he is done other than weathering the feet and lower legs and the basing which will be done when all 12 are finished, so they all have the same flow and color.

He is a pretty extensive conversion with bits used from the following kits: Khorne Berzerker chest and lower legs, Catachan Jungle Fighter upper legs, Cadian grenades, WFB Marauder arms, plus some Marine and Space Wolf bits for flavor. The shoulder armor is cut from thin plasticard. The back pack comes from the second edition Jess Goodwin wolf scouts which he is built in the style of.

I will also be using the second edition pack markings of white and red for all of the Wolf Scouts. I think my favorite thing about the conversion is that he really has that girthy feel of what I imagine a full blown Space Wolf without power armor would look like.




This is Halga the Wolf Guard and group leader; he is a revisited conversion I did ages ago. I replaced the old combi-weapon right arm with the plasma pistol one and added a Mk VI helmet to his belt.



The final model for this week is Skeld the Long Fang; he is pretty straight forward conversion using the legs from a 2nd edition Devastator marine. I still need to do the 3D Great Company badge before I can start painting.

Come back next weekend more conversions and painting goodness, as the Kill Team grows.
