A Warhammer 40k blog, written by conversion enthusiasts – Krakendoomcool, Pandorasbitzbox, Warbringer, davyArt & Ritual. Featuring The Wolf Lord Project (making all twelve Wolf Lords). Lots of conversions, Space Wolves, Chaos, Salamanders, Tyranids & More!
Finally I've finished all 12 Wolf Lords. Took some doing in the end. Really dragged my heals for the last two. But here they all are in one post. The blog started with this project and it feels pretty good to get it done. The names are linked to the original blog posts. If your…
Bjorn Stormwolf is the twelfth Wolf Lord I've painted. He's the last of the original 12 Wolf Lords on the Grand Annulus and the finishing point for the project as I set out to do about 3 years ago now. The closer I got to finishing the twelve the further away it seemed to get.…
The new codex has me excited to play my Wolves again. So I’m back on the Wolf Lords with Bran Redmaw - Wolf Lord 11. Bran rather excitingly had a model made by the Forgeworld team, making him the only Wolf Lord to be made by them. Unfortunately it was never released. Budid get to…
The Wolf Lords project wouldn’t be complete without the big dog himself. The sheer detail on this model made me put aside my converted version. He’s even got a wolf head on the top of the vents at the back of his terminator armour under the cloak! I bet no one knows about that until…
If wolf lords could be afraid then Erik Morkai is the Wolf Lord they would fear. Erik Morkai is the scary one. Scary Wolf (Erik), baby (Ragnar), ginger (Krom), sporty (Sven) and posh (Egil - have you seen his collection of automobiles?). He favours Wolf Scouts, stealth tactics and viciousness in combat. There is artwork…
Kjarl Grimblood loves fire, his company cover their faces in blood after killing an enemy with flames. He’s rumoured to have ‘the gift’ (psyker), he sees the future in fire. And he has 12 land raider redeemers (in the West Indies). Did I mention he loves fire? For me terminator armour and land raiders go…
Harald was a lot of fun to paint. He’s got a painting guide in ‘companies of fenris’ which was super helpful. I didn’t convert him or paint him differently. He’s a relatively recent (compared to Ragnar!) release. Like Krom the model and artwork are pretty consistent. It’s well established that is what he looks like.…
Gunnar Redmoon was another Wolf Lord with relatively little known about him. He appears at some point in the Space Wolf omnibus but I haven’t read that far! So what I knew was; he’s big, loud and likes the good company of Long fangs (for the krak). So I put him in termie armour to…
Engir Krakendoom is the first Wolf Lord in the project with no model, no artwork, no wargear options. A blank canvas. According to the fluff Engir Krakendoom is a real sea faring space Viking. He likes boarding parties and outriders. The outrider aspect caught my imagination for a while. I was using the death watch white…
Krom Dragongaze is a great model and a key release for the Wolf Lords project. I use his body for two other Wolf Lords (Ragnar and Bran), his head for Engir Krakendoom and his axe for Gunnar Redmoon. I talk about what a good fit he is for a Ragnar conversion in an earlier post. This…
Sven Bloodhowl along with Egil Ironwolf were key conversions that made me realise I could carry on and make all the wolf lords. GWs versions of these models appeared in Curse if the Wulfen and I loved both of them. It really fired up my imagination as to what the other wolf lords might look…
Curse of the Wulfen had the first incarnation of Egil I had seen. Conversions of him and Sven really opened up the possibility of making all 12 Wolf Lords. Once you realise it’s a techpriest the other parts are recognisable from the Wolf Pack box. It’s a great idea with tons of character and really…
