Thunderwolf Cavalry

I have not been sitting idle since I finished up my venom. There was still a long list of space wolf stuff waiting for me to paint or convert in time for blog wars 9. I must confess to a certain fondness for thunderwolf cav, amd wanted to run a list with at least 2 three man squads in (and I am mooching around with the idea of buffing each squad to five + characters). So without further ado I picked up my plastic glue, stuck a paintbrush behind my ear, and got cracking!

For my first squad I did not give them many options, mainly arming them all with close combat weapons, so with this squad I wanted the weapon loadouts to be as versatile as possible. Magnetising is a fantastic way to add this versatility without breaking the bank buying multiple models just to get a few varying weapon loadouts. With all this in mind every thunder cav rider had a magnet in each shoulder socket and torso, and I glued and painted a load of different weapons for them to field as I needed (which I have forgotten to take a photo of). It works really well, although during taking the photos I realised the bolt pistol arm of the middle rider has a massive gap where the magnet does not sit flush. Bit of a pain but I went back this eve and greenstuffed the joint so it fits nicely now and does not look so odd.

Thoughts and comments are always welcome :)
NafNaf out!
