I had been thinking about making some “Chaotic” Thunderwolf Calvary models for awhile now. When I saw the preview models for the Bloodcrushers a few weeks ago, I knew I’d be adding some “space wolf lords” to my Chaos army.
So I just got some of the new Bloodcrushers and started converting them up. Here is the work in progress so far.
These are the bits I picked out for the project. I’m not much of an artist so I kinda just make a pile of bits and dry fit a bunch of stuff together, till I like the look. To be honest I wish I had more skills at drawing so I could sketch ideas out on paper. So for now all my ideas are trapped in my brain till I can give them some true form.
This is the saddle I ended up making, cause the legs didn’t quite fit right. I tried to pattern it like the rest of the plating, kinda giving it the illusion it was “morphed” out of his back for the rider.
Well here is what I got so far. I think I need to put more of a “Khorne” spin on it, seeing how he’s riding a Juggernaut of Khorne after all.
What do you think? Where should I go with it from here? -MBG
