For these units, I wanted to accomplish a certain number of things.
First, the Wolf Guard and Grey Hunters were to be crotchety, battle hardened bastards that had seen some serious service.
Second, the Blood Claws were to be young, ballsy and look like they have a few screws loose.
Wolf Guards (Left) - looking haggard as hell - I used a flagellant head for this guy (right) - punk looking - attached to blood claws.
Blood claw (left) with modified chainsword. Grey Hunter (right) - again, used a flagellant head - makes him look a little older and battle hardened.
Thirdly, the Long Fangs were to look very "casual" whilst spotting out new targets to blow the proverbial out of.
Had fun converting these guys. The heavy bolter took ages. The ammo clip does all fit together and hook up with the backpack. I had to decimate the other heavy bolter that came in the devastator kit to complete it, however. The plasma cannon guy is on a running set of legs.
The Long Fang Sarge is the guy with the powerfist. I felt that the head was appropriate as it has a number of "service studs" in the forehead. Had to muck around to get the other guy to actually hold the plasma cannon where he is. Probably a little ridiculous, but fun all the same to think that this old bastard can lug a plasma cannon around like a pistol.
The spotter with the lascannon was more difficult to pose than I first thought. I had to massacre a few arms to find one that would be on the correct angle to allow the arm rest of the lascannon to rest against his shoulderpad. As it turned out, I had to slice up 3 arms to create the arm with the gun. Each of which provided a different angle so the weapon could be placed in position.
These two are fairly vanilla. I wanted the guy with the rocket launcher to look as it he had just destroyed a vehicle or something and was admiring his handiwork.
Should be good to paint - probably take me a month! haha!
