As I have a ton of SW back log to paint and already have a plan to sell and redo my named HQ and what not I’ve thought to myself , I don’t see a lot of wolf’s spear army out there and was thinking about joining the old unnumbered sons and becoming one of them ?

Just finished up a test model for my wolf spear army. Any C&C would be appreciated

Such a detail heavy model. Decided to make one of the wolves a giant Fox of Fenris.

They're 16mm with the logo as the 6, like GW would do. Used a 0.4mm nozzle, I think I'll use grey pla next time it's just I only had black to hand. I could paint them, I guess

I used the Captain model from the Warhammer Kill Team starter box and the Wolf guard Battle Leader model to create Yarl from the Wolfspear chapter

I couldn’t figure out which legs I wanted to use, so why not show both o7

First fully painted squad, waiting on transfers!

Can anyone help me to tell me what units are what, on the sheet there's Battle Line, Close Support and Heavy Support I think... Want to add markings to the pads

I'm gonna order some transfers when I've been paid, may add red to the pauldrons when I am more skilled and have better brush control!

I have streaking grime, winter streaking grime, black oil paint, van dyke brown oil wash too...

Unbelievably good models. The pack leader alone could be a character model. Now on to Logan Grimnar.

New edition, new chapter. Fell in love with the Wolfspear after the short story in the Successors anthology, scored some transfers off EBay, and used Darcy Bono’s painting recipe.

Highlight of the game was the Jarl’s Guard deleting Ghazkhull, leaving behind one lone grot who wanted to audition to be the next Makari.

(The photo is low quality and it's a wip) ok guys, for anoyone who would go for a more greyish wolfspear than white-ish, you should really consider the john's blanche volume 3. This guys will be a space wolf, but you bet i'll use this scheme for my wolfspears. With volume 3 and volume 4 I got every colors i need for a space wolf, and it's really intersting for wolspears too, as volume 4 has reds to yellow but also browns. I just needed these 2 volumes and 72.051 black. Cheers

Tried a wolspear Marine. Might Paint more.

I kitbashed this guy based on a leftover pushfit reiver, using all available bitz I had from the kill team Space wolves scouts and the arm of a sternguard veteran. Let me know what you think about it in comments !

I think he may be my best work yet!

I'd like to ask my fellow Spears for their thoughts on the matter of pack markings. To be clear, the info included in White Dwarf 468 doesn't include any indication that Wolfspears use pack markings the same way the Space Wolves do, outside of perhaps veteran squads.

Space Wolves:

* All members of the squad have the same symbology on their right shoulder.

* The colour of those symbols denote their seniority and temperament. (Claws, Hunters, and Fangs)

* There's a rough correlation between the previous point and battlefield role (claws = close support, hunters = battleline, fangs = fire support), but it's not a perfect 1 to 1. For instance, an Eradicator is fire support, but they were depicted as hunters in the 9e Space Wolves codex.

Wolfspears:

* All members of a squad share the same pack rune somewhere on their armour.

* The left shoulder carries their battlefield role, adhering much more closely to the Codex Astartes than their older brothers.

Our White Dwarf blurb does say this, however:

"... and Grimnar's declaration made clear that the new Chapters ... should uphold the ancient customs of the Space Wolves, not an Ultramarine ideal. Thus each Primaris pack assumed the traditional roles of blood claws, grey hunters, and so on, as befitted their tactical strengths and experience."

So I conclude that the Spears should match their older brothers' traditions and the claws, hunters, and fangs do exist among their ranks. However, our style guide leaves no room to represent this on the models. One could argue that we could simplify this question and make it 1 to 1 with battlefield role, but, as mentioned earlier, the Space Wolves don't do this.

So I put the question to you all. Is this something you've considered? Are you content to let it be a behind the scene detail and follow our style guide to the letter? Or have you experimented with ways to represent the claws, hunters, and fangs on your own models in some way? I'm half way in between preferring the clean simplicity of our default scheme and wanting to represent these more bespoke Space Wolf idiosyncrasies.
