They fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
Those daring young men with the transhuman fleas...
I very rarely buy models on pre-order - indecision and a big stack of grey plastic usually keeps me in check. But when I saw these Jump Pack Intercessors, I knew I was going to have them.
It helps that my recipe for painting Space Wolves is very tried and tested, so I knew it wouldn't take me long, even with all the conversions.
To make these adequately wolfy (generously aided by Monkey's bag of bits), I gave them all bare heads (safety helmets and badly-placed air intakes do not factor into my thinking here), plus a few wolfy weapons and trinkets.
The boss man got a very large battleaxe, which I guess would function either as a power weapon or a power fist. He also got the most flowing hair.

ReplyDeleteGot to get it out of the way.
DeleteI've said it before, but if you start worrying about little details in 40k like hair blocking up air intakes, you're going to unravel very quickly. Rule of cool all the way...
