Blood Claw # 9 of the Blackmanes, painted

My first Blood Claws pack is starting to be large enough to be actually useful for something. While their weak ballistic and weapon skills make a single miniature less than devastating, and their default ranged weaponry has a short range and just one shot, they are relatively cheap points-wise and can be fielded in large packs, so to some extent, they should be able to compensate their failings through sheer numbers. For that to work, though, I have to make those numbers first.

 The pose actually looks pretty good, even if mixing a parrying dagger with a slashing weapon is a little questionable. I decided to compensate for the lack of a crazy hairstyle by making the chainsword very noticeable.

 The Norman hairstyle looks relatively unremarkable, compared to the crazy mohawks often seen on Space Wolves. I decided to explain it with a bit of headcanon where the tribe he was recruited from has traditionally used this type of hairstyle (and, presumably, chain coifs).

The helmet was rather undramatic again. I decided to incorporate the red eye lenses to the pack colours by painting the face yellow.

The next Blood Claw of this pack will probably be holding a Special Weapon, and considering their BS of 3, it will most likely be a flamer.
