Lords of the reverend Wolf: FROST WOLVES

This is a how to on building your own SPACE WOLVES Unit: I didn't build one unit, but 1 lord, 1 rune priest, 3 royal hq guardsmen, 1 Lieutenant , and 3 blood claws(including a sgt.).


Im planning on buying three to four more of these box sets, it was quite exciting building and designing my own specific figures.

The division/army Ive created is the FROST WOLVES, Here lies a step by step how to I made my custom wolves


Lord of the Frost Wolves: 
 I Started with glueing the Wolf Guard banner to his back Pack, Then i glued his chest Piece together followed by glueing the legs under neath, I chose to use all the fury bits for him, to create a wolf shall over top, the legs didnt fit the best!
 Out of all the heads I chose to use the Lords head with the four braids. I glued the back pack on, then His head and chose for him to have the Power shield and power hammer.
 +The lord of Wolves Complete+
Four shots of The LORD completed, Sadly Ive yet to name this beast or create most of the fluff for him! 



The Rune Priest
 I wanted to create a priest that resembled ulrik the Space wolf rune priest, but had a more shaman-esk feel to him and make him less robotic looking.

 I began by building the chest oeice, i used the back fur wolf legs cape, for the frost i used a golden eage flag chest piece, I then chose and glued a pair of legs on. I took an extra back and cut off the dangle rune like necklace (as seen on the right|) this is going to be a shaman war necklace.
 My next idea was to take the extra power hammer (the same style one used on the lord) I cut the hammer off of it and filed it down to make it flat. Next i took the eagle banner for th back pack, glued a wolf skull on to it then mounted it on the power hammer to make a rune priests POWER CROZIER!
 Next I glued a Power sword on his left arm, I chose not to use a hand gun mostly because i like the fully mele concept of him, to close combat weapons, and pyschic abilities make for a powerful close combat foe. The last couple customs I did was addidng two wolf tail talismans on his necklace, adding his back pack with skull head,adding a sheathed blade to his right side and finishing it off with his shoulder pads
The unnamed  Rune Priest!
All the fluff and back story seem to come together when I begin painting them it really seems to breath  life into the figures

Heres a collection of pictures from the last couple figures that were put togther!! 

The Lords Son: Guardian of the holy Relic 
 Son of the lord, Captian of the holy wolf guard entrusted by his father to guard the space wolves ancient holy buriel relic from the enemy horde and invaders!
