Pre-heresy style Wolf Guard terminator


This is a Guest Post by Jon

Seeing Ron's great Pre-Heresy terminators have inspired me to do one of my own. I started with the new Space Wolves terminator box and decided to go with twin wolf claws, and the big wolf-pelt cape.

Since one of the shoulder pads would be largely covered by the cape (that and the fact that I don't have Ron's patience), I decided to go with a simplified shoulder pad using the leg armor from a Dreadnought.


The extended collar was built from sheet and strip styrene. One thing that occurred to me after the fact was that I'll need to paint the head separately. Yeah, I know that if you can't paint it, it probably can't be seen... but I'm kinda AR about these things.

Finally the cape requires some modification to get the wolf's look right on the new shoulder pads.


I think that I might do something similar to this if I decide to build an Arjac model -- ancient TDA seems apt for Grimnar,s Champion.

Here is the WIP, I still need to add the leather straps under the shoulder pads.



Final product, the cape and the head will get glued on after painting. Once it's painted, it will also get attached to one of the resin bases.
