Hounds of Fenris

This chunky fellow on the left is my take of a Space Wolf, WolfPriest in Saturnine Terminator armour from over a decade ago. I also started a Saturnine Tetminator squad. I believe I made three. I'm contemplating including this bad boy in my force. The question is, should I complete him and the Termie squad to include in my Wolf force or not? Intercessor for scale.

This bank holiday weekend I had planned to get loads of Wolves painted. However, this didn't happen as I wasn't happy with the colours that I was using. Its been years since I have painted any of the Vlka Fenryka for tabletop and I find the modern blue of the wolves a bit too Ultramarine. On the flipside if i went for a complete grey like my Heresy Wolfs then ot would also feel wrong. There has to be some happy medium. You can see in the above image how I had originally gone for the "Wolf Blue" colour, but I'm not happy with it. I  want a blue tint, but not an overwhelming blue. Like my old Space Pup force, which has gone the way of the Dodos! That being said, I am happy with how my Fenrisian Wolves are coming out. They just need a bit of highlighting on the fur and a little touch up in some areas. If the released images of the new box set is anything to go by then it is likely that you'll have 3 wolves attached ...

  Last night I was going to leave filling in the empty gaps until tonight. However, I decided that I had to do it so I could detail it when I get home, later. I decided that I would get a bit of a pult going on around his waist, so made sure to create a base to sculpt the fur onto. As you can see there is enough shape and support there to make it look interesting and have something to push the putty against. I also made sure that there was only enough filling done so as not to impede sculpting the undergarment detail later. I had enough putty left over to start push8ng it into the moulds I had made. I ooted for the two headed chest plate from the firstborn Grey Hunters box set as well as using an Agressors shoulderpad (from the upgrade sprue) for the wolf symbol. I was going to leave it there until tonight, but I couldn't.  This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I couldn't help but demould the push mould pieces. The chest piece fits well, though I want to add some more...
