Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Wolf Guard Conversions

by Leave a Comment

Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves wolf guard conversions.


The wolf guard conversions form the meat of this army, and they take a lot of forms. The large size of the terminator bases, as well as the models themselves, presented a lot of opportunities for some really dynamic poses and interesting bases. I used two Imperial Guard Cadian shock troop kits for victims, and tried to put in a lot of variety.
I modeled most of this army over a friend’s house while he worked on his Blood Angels. A few times, I showed him what I was working on.

“Do you think this is too extreme?” I asked.
He looked up at my latest creation and burst out laughing.
“Too much?”
He shook his head. “Naaahhhhh.”

Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Vindicator Conversions

Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves vindicator conversions.


What do you get when you cross 3 Space Marine vindicator kits, spare Cadians, a lot of green stuff, and an overactive imagination? Something like this!
Each vindicator kit comes with a cannon shell. I took one, built up a plume of green stuff, and attached it to the cannon. That gave one of the vindicators a nice, “I’m firing!!!” action pose. On another shell, I used a Chaos spawn tentacle and had it grab hold from the back of the vindicator. I also added various blue glowy things oozing their way out of the vehicle, reinforcing the sense that not all was as it seems with these machines. And just because that wasn’t ridiculous enough, I added some poor victims being pulled in and eaten.
As usual, I had a big glob of green stuff left over. So I put it to good use. The grotesque “ball” is not attached to the vehicle. It’s one of my objective markers for this army, which normally gets some interesting comments from fellow players.

Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Dreadnought Conversion

Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves dreadnought conversion.


This dreadnought conversion was actually a little trickier than it looks. The model is mostly stock, except the feet were adjusted slightly to allow it to stop on a poor Cadian. Getting the angle right proved difficult, given the lack of mobility in the stock model. Green stuff and Chaos Spawn parts went into the blue glowy growths. The Cadian on fire was easy enough to make with a big blob of green stuff and some simple sculpting to make it look … at least a little bit … like a burning fire.

Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Army

Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves terminator army.


I’ve loved terminators for about as long as I’ve loved Warhammer 40K, and I always had this itch to do an all-terminator army. When the 5th Edition Space Wolves codex came out in 2009, I picked it up and was immediately drawn to the customization options with Wolf Guard. Since taking Logan Grimnar made Wolf Guard count as troops, I knew what I had to do next … start buying terminator kits!
The army consists of 2 Space Marine terminator kits, 2 Chaos Space Marine terminator kits, the Space Hulk terminators, and a Chaos terminator lord all put into a blender with Chaos spawn parts. It was a blast to put together!
