GZG 15mm New Israeli 'leader' body with Beast Wolf Head from Peter Pig
Still very much a work in progress. Before you ask.....why yellow combat enviroment armour? Not only did I want to paint something radically different to blue! But it's believed wolves can only sense red and yellow. So, as a Vargr Merc commander, Grav'RR bought himself a distinguished yellow battlesuit. Unfortunately, like his rifle, it's seen better days, better battles.
The head is greyer in actuality than it appears in the photo - probably due to the Citadel Devlann Mud Wash. I still need to sort the Vargr's eyes to my satisfaction though.
His troopers are going to be painted in Citadel Shadow Grey (almost similar to RAF grey-blue), possibly with Black & Codex Grey tiger stripes.
Cheers

Sweet. I'm going to have to order some of all of the Peter Pig heads. My GZG order can't come fast enough! I need me some 15mm!

LOL! The mini looks cool but my first thought was that you made the sci-fi wargaming version of ALF. Beware the warriors of the Malmak 54th "Cat Eater" Guards.
ReplyDeleteHA!!!

Seriously though, nice conversion. I have wondered what the Wolf Heads look like. Did you add anything to the head?

Funnily enough Eli as soon as I had the first coat of paint on the 'wolf' head I immediately thought of Alf. Yes, not quite as lupine as I'd like but it's duffices as a shaggy doggy bipedal alien.

Heh, I thought I was the only one who remembered ALF. Have you considered Stan Johansen's bear men painted like wolves?

Somewhere I have a FoW panzerfaust team converted to Vargr, with tails. the peter pig heads are really good - annoyingly, a matter of weeks before he released them I used green stuff to turn some AK47 range figs into vargr - they're painted up in a sort of desert camo along with some GZG OUDF to give 2 human platoons and 1 vargr platoon - cf the Merc Co in "Broadsword"
ReplyDeleteHi Eli, Yes I have considered the Johansen bear men but I don't like rifle across the chest poses.

Just have fun with these for now, and ebay 'em off when Eli and I get the Garolff done.

Math,
ReplyDeleteGot pics?
Michael,
Different sort of wolf men. The Vargr are much more typically space doggies.
-Eli
Where as ours are Space Wolves...lol...cool.
ReplyDeleteMichael
Nice :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try for a pic of the Pzfaust crew but my photo track record is poor - isnt it Mr H?
ReplyDelete"Space Canines" are in general fine by me!
