Creating my Primaris Space Wolves Chapter

It feels like forever since I last looked at my Red Wolf chapter, I’ve been so sucked into Star Wars Legion as of late. But I was completely inspired by a guy on Instagram who does loads of green stuff conversions, he played around with some thunderwolves and they looked awesome.

I haven’t actually got any thunderwolf Cavalry as the marines looked a little strange riding on big wolves. Seeing this style instantly sold me on them as they looked more like berserkers which now makes sense in my head.

I’ve popped a few photos I took on the journey below but if you head to the bottom of this post I’ve also linked the building and painting Vlog

It was then onto painting but I wont bore you with that again! I’ve covered my colours and the way I paint them plenty of times before. If you’re interested check out the other posts in this project. Alternatively watch the Vlog as I do cover it again on there.

It’s been an awesome journey so far. The Red Wolves chapter look amazing all together. There are definitely some holes in the force, some more transport would be awesome and the new tanks that have been released would definitely provide some much needed heavy fire support.

I’ve also been thinking of some of the more traditional space wolves models but I do want this force to stay mainly Primaris. I think I can get away with the Thunder Wolf Cavalry but I’m not really sure what else. There are more Primaris marines that I haven’t got of course!

As you know I picked up the Space Wolves Combat Patrol to expand on the Red Wolves Chapter. The Invictor Tacical Warsuit was definitely something I wanted to get painted straight away, mainly because I hadn’t given one a go before.

I also painted up a Redemptor Dreadnought using exactly the same technique. I’m really pleased with how they’ve both turned out.

The Red Wolves are definitely expanding fast!!

I picked up the Space Wolves Combat Patrol to expanding on the Red Wolves Chapter. Of course the first models I was going to paint would be the Hounds of Morkai!

I’ve gone with a different scheme than that of the Canon Hounds of Morkai as it wouldn’t really fit with the Red Wolves scheme.

I think these have turned out really well, I’ve really enjoyed painting them. I definitely think they fit into the theme of the Red Wolves better than if I’d gone with the dark Blue/Grey that GW went with.

With the Indomitus Box completed it was time to have a look at how I can expand the force.

I already had two units sat waiting from an old project so I thought they’d be an ideal place to start.

The more eagleeyed among you will have noticed in my previous videos that I’ve had a round stand that I painted at the same time as the Indomitus troops stands. That was of course for the Murderfang, I can’t think of anything that screams space wolf than this guy, well actually there’s along of things but he’s definitely one that always jumps to mind.

I painted him in exactly the same way as I painted the Outriders so to see more detail on that look at the previous post. Here’s a couple of awesome shots of him finished though…

The next unit I had lying around were some Fenrisian Wolves that I painted a grey scheme many moons ago.

With the Birth of the Red Wolves I through it time to give them a fresh coat of paint and get them in line with the new paint scheme. While I did like the grey I went with originally it would now look exactly the same as the marines armour and I wanted these to stand out.

I therefor followed the same process as the wolf with the Outrider Sgt, the main two colours I used were Contrast Skeleton Horde and Contrast Wyldwood. I used the Black templar for eyes, mouth and pads on the feet and Ushabti bone on the teeth.

They were so quick and easy to paint! Check out the link below to my painting Vlog.

So that’s the Indomitus box now completed. I’ve loved this project and really pleased to be getting back to a space wolves themed force. I’ve considered getting some little name plates for the characters, especially with this being my home brew chapter. I don’t want them just to be any marines I want them to each have an awesome back story.

Here’s a quick overview of the Indomitus models and what I’ve done so far with The Red Wolves chapter.

I’ve got the Murderfang as you’ve seen previously and I’ve got some of the first primaris marines that came out when 8th dropped that I’ll me converting too. After that I’m not sure but keep an eye on here to see where I go next.
