Ok so it's been a while for posting something genuinely 'new' so here goes. Obviously while I've been away from RA on the posting part I've still been keeping my hand in. Space Wolves being my genuine first love when it comes to Marine Chapters are a big part of my gaming. I have a large Space Wolves Army to go along with my Red Scorpions Army and my Mech Imp Guard Army all supported by my Warhound and Reaver Titans
Anyway he's a WIP step by step on how to kit-bash yourself a convincing, I think, Wolf Preist in Terminator Armour with a Terminator styled Wolf Helm, using parts from the Space Wolves kits.
Parts
For this miniature you will need:
1. A suitable Torso and Legs from the Space Wolves Wolf Guard box set, of your choice
2. A standard Terminator Helmet from any termintor kit from the new range
3. Two Wolf Guard Thunder Hammers with Wolf Skull and Wing
4. A Large Wolf Skull accessory part from the Space Wolves pack along with the Winged Skull Totem used for the back packs
5. Wolf Pelt from the Wolf Guard box set
6. Weapon of choice for the LEFT arm
Now for my own I also added a brass etched Space Wolf Aquilla to the Torso and I will be using the Left arm form the Wold Guard sprue that allows for a seperate left hand. My Fully finished Wolf Priest will have a scratch built combi-melta with box magazine to look similar to the stern guard type, this made totally of plastic will be cast in resin so i can replicate it for my wolf guard and my red scorpion sternguard vets.
Here's a shot of the basic parts
Wolf Helm
As you can see it shows both the 'cored-out' helmet and shaved down skull with originals for comparrison, that fit together to create the Wolf Helm. This does take some patience. The best thing to do is take your time, start with the helmet and cut out the interior from the forehead down to the lower jaw area. This will become apparent in later picts.
The Crozius is easy. Cut one wing from one of your two thunderhammers, then cut the hammer head of the other, and then pin the two together.
Once this is done fit the assemble the wolf pelt as normal, and glue the wolf skull into the helmet this will give you the following parts.

Assembly
The hardest part to this is positioning the wolf pelt, again patience is the key, once this is done you can drill into the top of the pelt into the upper torso, and then pin both by using the winged skull totem. Then it should look something like this:

Just goes to show what you can achieve in a couple of hours on a saturday afternoon while you watch a movie in the back ground
