pretre Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Okay, this was a lot of fun, so figured I would show them off. Some notes: - Wulfen kit was awesome - Didn't like the chest interface with the legs so much. It caused some gaps. - Loved how many extra bits are there. Plenty of extra wulfen heads, arms (I didn't need to use alternate arms, but now I like them, so I left them), Shoulders, weapons, shields, etc. - Don't like the look of two claw hands so added CCW to at least one hand for each model - Great for experimenting First Group: 5 Wulfen with SFAL, Axe, TH/SS - 180 Pack Leader - Wulfen Legs, SW Chest, Wulfen Backpack, SW Arms converted to hold Frost Claws CCW Dude - SW Legs, Chest, Backpack, Wulfen Arms. Added rubble for him to jump off to give him more height since all the Wulfen models are stretched out to full height or jumping and that makes them taller. Axe dude - looks like he may need a gap fill or a knife or something on the right side. Calth legs and Wulfen upper body. SFAL dude - SW legs, Wulfen upper body. One arm is a SW arm without Shoulder. Had to dig out the shoulder to fit it on the body. SFAL - SW Legs, Wulfen Body, SW Left Arm, Wulfen Right TH/SS - Wulfen Body/Legs, Catachan Left Arm with Shoulder Pad from Wulfen and Shield. Second Group: 5 Wulfen with SFAL, Axe, PL with FC - 180 TH/SS - Stock Wulfen with SW Backpack Axe Dude - Stock Wulfen CCW Dude is SW Body/Legs/Backpack, Wulfen Arms and Head. Added a CCW and decoration on backpack to make him taller. SFAL Dude is Wulfen Body/Top, SW Arm on the left and Marauder Arm on the Right. Added Shoulder Pads from Wulfen Kit. CCW Dude is on rubble again (necron metal piece?) with Wulfen Arms, SW Chest/Legs/Backpack. Axe dude is pretty much stock Wulfen (first model I assembled) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Those are looking good, dude. I'm planning on doing something similar to stretch mine, I'll try to get around to adding pics to this when I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it was a lot of fun. I've been in a modelling funk and hadn't done anything since my last event and this definitely got me back into it. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Oh, and I think I may have enough parts to do a couple more. Plenty of arms left over, maybe a couple heads (that's my limiter since I want the wulfen heads for each dude). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Also, if I was going to do it again, I probably wouldn't mix and match the torsos/legs. I would just use wulfen arms and dynamic posing with SW Legs/Torsos. The chop and swap to make the legs and chest match is a bitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I may go for the more involved approach on a few anyhow. I've got no problem doing some serious chop and fill work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with a little green stuff, you can make it work really well. I had to cut the crotch/butt out of the pairs of legs to fit the torso over the rip basically. It'll be kind of obvious when you see the way the legs go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 It looks similar to bloodletters. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 What do you mean? The way the Legs attach to the Torso. Left leg/Right leg being separate. Some of the Chaos Possessed are similar, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 They're not the same as the Possessed. Yeah, the legs are separate, but the connection to the torso is also totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Got my first couple mostly done. Waiting 'til I've got a bunch before I do the greenstuff work to fill in some of the gaps: Planning on doing one of each weapon upgrade for each Pack of 5, with a Frag Launcher on either the GreatAxe or Frost Claws. If I give the Frost Claws to a Champ, that brings each Pack in at 200 on the dot, which feels a bit spendy, but we'll see how it goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Nice! Looking good. As for cost, I'm thinking my list is gonna get me a lot of 1 or 2 win records this summer. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 First pack is done. Camera seems to be focusing on something in the foreground (cropped out) rather than the dudes for some reason. These were the best pics I got: Planning on building up 10 more like this, and the trying them a few times, seeing if I need another Storm Shield in each Pack while I've still got some spares. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Definitely surprised at how many shields they out in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I wish they could just take Storm Shields, without having to take Hammers as well. I don't really see myself needing that many Thunder Hammers, but I want the extra durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Is that 5 guys taken twice? Or is that 10 guys? Also, just storm shields would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 That's two shots of the same five dudes. I thought I'd got one or two of them better in the top pic, but looking at it now, it looks like they're all better in the bottom pic. I'm gonna try to bust through 10 more tonight for a Game tomorrow. That may or may not end up actually happening, tho. Mixing them up like this is a lot of extra work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Okay, I was wondering why you made them look identical between squads. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I came up with an easier way to mix and match, tho it seemed a little counter-intuitive at first. Build the legs and body for a Wulfen, make sure your glue is completely set, and then just chop the whole damn thing in half. They're actually fairly skinny at the waist, so it's not that hard of a cut, and it gives you a way better join with the regular SW parts. Much less trimming stuff away, and then having to fill in the exact same space on the other half. Haven't got arms on 'em yet, but the two I did as a test look fine so far.

pretre Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Huh. So chop at the waist? I'm still waking up, so I was first thinking 'Wait, so chopping lengthwise... how's that gonna work?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah, chop at the waist. It's a little awkward because they have those curved wrestling prize belts, but worst case scenario you can cover those up with random decorative bits. Gonna try to get pics of my first two today, but my sleep schedule went seriously haywire on me and I may not get to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Got the rest of the box built. There are 6 torsos in there, so I actually got 11 total from the box: Also, a plastic SW Contemptor, converted from the BaC Dread that Kingpin sold me: The Cyclone is painted because it's one I have magnetized for my WG Termies, and I set it up so it can go on here, too. I also have a trophy rack from Murderfang that I can put on the top if I'm not using the Cyclone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
