Grey Hunter Plasma Gunner in Mk. V Power Armour

In the 40k lore, Mk. V Power Armour has a sinister reputation, as it's associated with the Horus Heresy. Similarly, Logan Grimnar has the Wolf Priests keep a close eye on Bran Redmaw's Great Company. In my mind, the mean-looking Mk. V Armour fits the most feral of Space Wolves well.

I wanted this pack of Grey Hunters to specialize in killing heavy infantry, which is why they have the maximum number of plasma weapons allowed by the codex (ie. two plasma guns, a plasma pistol and a combi-plasma). This is the first of them.
 Bran Redmaw's GC badge was painted freehand on both the shoulder and the knee pad.
 The crest of fangs on top of his battle helm was made by drilling and gluing a thin iron wire core and forming the fang out of green stuff around it. Visually, it has some similarities with the horned helmets used by Chaos Marines, which is just the sort of vaguely suspicious thing that suits this Great Company.
