Shieldwolf Miniatures Unleash The Sisters Of Wolves Force
September 25, 2019 by brennon
Shieldwolf Miniatures has unleashed a new band of warriors into the realm of Sci-Fi with the coming of the Sisters of Wolves force. Leading the way we have two characters and a selection of vehicles too.
The two characters for the range are the power armoured wearing Aura (above) and Ulva (below) who has got her axe ready to get stuck into close combat should the need arise.
As well as forming the basis of your own unique Sci-Fi army these would also be pretty awesome for doing some gaming in the gaps. Perhaps these Sisters Of Wolves are a band of Adepta Sororitas that has grown up on Fenris alongside the Space Wolves and adopted some of their battle tactics? It would make sense that they would grow to become part of their culture and maybe even bring some of their believes and doctrines into their way of fighting and behaving.
It did have me somewhat inspired to think of how cool it would be to make a proper female Space Wolf army based on the idea of the Valkyries. You could snag some of the heads from Statuesque Miniatures and work them into the Primaris and traditional Space Wolf bodies to give yourself a cool looking new force; lore be damned.
Big Vehicles
As well as the two characters there are also some vehicles for you to help start your army. Leading the way we have the FmRir...
...which might work well as a main battle tank in your force. This is then supported by the Grand Snotra and Grand Lofn vehicles which could be more traditional troop transport options.
We have no doubt that Shieldwolf Miniatures are going to work on some more options for the Sisters Of Wolves in the future so watch this space for some additional infantry elements to help bolster your force.
I certainly like the models they've created so far and it has got me thinking about ways to create interesting armies for Sci-Fi gaming which is always fun.
What do you make of the Sisters Of Wolves?

It’s great to see these ladies back after so long; they’ll work great for a combined Sisters/Space Wolves force, or just as alternate Wolves.
Ooh space dwarfs (squats) on a comeback? Is a land train on the horizons.
Those vehicles would be useful if they are available in “plain”.
For a company that talk such a big game, the infantry are just pants. Mixing Vikings in space, and nuns with guns in space, both that you have copied from another manufacturer, who probably copied them from someone else is just pants. I have been polite about these as well.
Just to end on a positive note, those vehicles without wolf pelts and viking stuff would be really good!
If you check their online store, they have plainer variants for their not-Sororitas range. And even if they are copies, it’s the same with all third-party manufacturers; their stuff may still be based on GW’s IP, but it gives it a new spin to introduce new aesthetics into the game or change them up to keep it interesting.
The tanks look great, the sisters aren’t my cup of tea.
They don’t look as good as the upcoming GW ones. And what on earth is going on with those tanks? They look… weird. They seem to be too short or too wide or both, like a short, fat Rhino. They’re not really in keeping with the sisters of the Wolf, in fact they’re exact opposite of their tall, lithe owners
ok that FmRir does look real nice. might have a go at it, uh once my current work on space wolves is done
