Hi everyone,
I was going through my two
Grey Hunter packs and I noticed that the leaders of the packs were loaded out and positioned more or less the same. Now, I am not to worried that they both carry a plasma pistol and that they both have the
Grey Hunter Totem on their backpacks. This was quit intentional on my part. I like a bit of uniformity in the
Space Wolf sense of individualism - if that makes any sense at all! But the arm poses had to changed.
So basically, what I did was carefully take off the arms and hands, and added replacements - namely a spear for a close combat weapon and a plasma pistol on the other arm. I changed the arm holding the chainsword completely and replaced all the parts, but I liked the green stuff work on the left shoulder pad so I took extra care taking this off and refitting it with a spear.
Since he is holding the spear straight up in an act or gesture of command, I decided to keep the plasma pistol pointing down to accentuate the spear. Also, being
Space Wolves, a spear actually works. It would not have been this effective if they were
Ultramarines or
Imperial Fists - and this is one of the reasons I enjoy modelling this
Chapter so much - that and the awesome fluff!
Placed again next to each other, one can tell the difference such a small repositioning and rearming does. The model is transformed!
Once again, only a small entry this time, but this month I have actually posted six times - a bit of a departure from my two to four posts a month!
The next post will be in the first week of October now, and it will definitely be the Dreadnought. So until then farewell and good health to one and all.
