Wulfen with a Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield and Stormfrag Auto-Launcher, painted

The reason I often leave the pack leaders for the last is that it takes some trial and error to get the right feel to a pack, especially if the models are something I haven't modelled or painted before. This was shown true of the Wulfen, as well. I'm much more satisfied with the way the second model of the pack turned out than the first, and can only hope to continue the upward trend.

 I left this model's hair a lot reddish-browner than the previous one's. One could argue that the Wulfen are approximately 10,000 years old and should all be old and grey by now, but it should be remembered that time in the Warp has little meaning. Also, Njal Stormcaller is a few centuries old, too, and has not gone grey at all, so there is a precedent. Additionally, the whole curse of the Wulfen thing is one huge unknown variable, and finally, Warhammer 40,000 is not exactly hard sci-fi, and things generally tend to work the way they do because shut up, that's why.

 I came up with the idea of a quartered design for the Storm Shield, and have to say I really like the way it turned out. This would be a lot more difficult to pull off with some of the other models for Storm Shields, but the regular diamond shape at the shield's center gave me an easy way to divide it into four equal pieces. The colours were chosen because of their association with the Wulfen through their pack markings as well as the 13th Great Company badge colours.

Speaking of, still liking the GC badge on the left pauldron. It works well as a method of  tying in the otherwise chaotic pack.
