Scouts unit

The first unit of the new army was to be the scouts - 5 to be precise. Sadly the Space Wolves kits are lacking meltaguns but I decided (and in my haste) to make 5 normal scouts regardless and swap one out for a melta in the next batch.

The think I like about the space wolves are the variety of heads, some are a bit too wild (most of my army will be of the helmet variety) but it did give the scouts a good look (appears everyone has the same idea on the net too so this is good). Keen to get going there isn't too much modding after that, I did think about axes rather than blades but that would have slowed me down as I would buy yet more stuff..

So what else to note, ah yes the banner.. In the vast amount of bits are various banners, one I have chosen to act as the Mark of the Wulfen another as a Wolf Banner. Two reasons for this really, one I wasn't sure I wanted to mod wulfen features too much as my Green Stuff skills are yet to be tested and two I now have flexibility when playing - they can either have that ability or it can just be decoration. As much as I would love models for every occasion they aren't cheap so saving a few quid here and there is definitely a good thing (especially when I am needed missile launchers for the long fangs at some point).

One thing that I did do before spraying, because I bought the tools mainly, was drill out the barrels on the bolt pistols, one slipped but they look awesome..

If I get some green stuff at some point these guys will likely have some large wolf pelt cloaks, they are elites after all!!
