Space Wolves

Amongst the many projects that I am working on is a Space Wolf army for my partner to use. I’ve had a few Space Wolf models since the mid 90s, but they have always been a bit of a side army for me. On the other hand, they are one of the armies that my partner used when she got into the hobby (in 3rd edition), so a few years ago when I was starting to sort it some 2nd edition forces, Space Wolves seemed to be the obvious choice.

The models will mainly be the late Rogue Trader/Early 2nd edition models, but some later sculpts or components will creep in, simply as I don’t necessarily have the exact models or bits (arms and weapons, etc), but we do have some slightly later ones.

To date, I’ve managed to get half of a Grey Hunter squander, and a couple of characters done - the idea is to try to get them fairly close to the blueish grey that the wolves were at that point.

The freehand on this Captain is based on the old Rogue Trader designs in the Space Marine Painting Guide from 1989 (shown below).

This model of Njal the Stormcaller will likely be used as a generic Rune Priest. For whatever reason, his bird holding hand had been cut off, so I ended up having to rebuild the forearm and wrist from greenstuff - it’s a little rough, but not too bad at a distance.
