TechTuesday - Wolf Lord Conversion

Hello everybody and thanks for joining us for another Tech Tuesday. Today I wanted to show another conversion job. So I have had a Wolf Lord for my Space Wolves army laying around for quite awhile now. I had stalled out on the conversion work because I didn't feel as though I had the pose down just right. So for quite some time this model sat around and then the new model kits came out and with some improv sculpting skills I think I was able to pull it off. I took the running legs as well as the back with a cape from the Space Marine Commander box, the old 3rd edition Space Wolves chest piece and backpack, a Bloodletters sword, a wolf skull, the Belt of Russ, the bolt pistol, a shoulder pad, a tuft of fur from the new Space Wolves Grey Hunter kit, and a storm shield from the new Space Wolves Terminator box. I wish I could show you pictures of the old conversion, but to give you a short brief the arms were much closer to his side. I had still cut away some material but nowhere near as much as in the final product. Once I had the new pieces and the Bloodletters sword I took off the old shoulder pad and put the tuft to hair over the other. Then I repositioned his arms leaving a little bit larger gap between it and the shoulder contact point. I had already sculpted hair into the back part of the commander cape so that was left over from the first conversion, same with his hair and beard. So I took the arms and filled in all the gaps between the arm and chest, as well as sculpted in some of the under plating and movement points for the Marine. I separated him at the hips and glued a spacer at the legs/waist contact. Then I pinned the Bloodletter sword to the arm and reshaped the blade into a frost blade. I resculpted the hilt and added a wolf skull bit to the center of the hilt. I also glued the would skull to the Belt of Russ. For the base I took a 35mm square base and filed it down to conform with the smaller 25mm round without damaging the rocks. Then I filled in the indented area between the rocks and the base with green stuff. Here are a few photos of the finished conversion. Check back later for the painted piece this week.
