Space Wolves

And some of them are magnetic too.
I've been working on Space Wolves lists for awhile since the Codex came out, and I've settled on a few different load outs. But the problem I ran into is that there is a lot of great options and I didn't want to be stuck with a model that had a single purpose. Like a Grey Hunter with a Bolter in hand or hands depending on what parts you use, or a Wolf Guard with a Power Sword and a Bolt Pistol. I had looked at making Space Marines with magnetic arms for my Salamanders Sternguard, but figured that was a waste at the time & dropped the Sternguard from my lists due to points. But now with the Space Wolves & possibly my future Blood Angels the magnetic arms is looking like the way to go, this will give me flexibility with a limited amount of miniatures.

So I drilled holes in the torso where the arms attach normally, and then drill a hole in the arm in the same area for the magnets. As for magnets I'm using 1/8" dia. x 1/32" for the arms & torso, just have to make sure I don't glue the wrong side down. Only one arm was done with a reversed poles so far, so I'll have one special model later down the road. And on the Space Wolves two hand weapons I've used 1/16" dia. x 1/32" magnets in the hands and the wrists connects. I still need to setup some arms holding bolters in both hands, and some special weapons like meltaguns & plasma guns. And do some conversions on Terminator Storm Bolters to make them work for Wolf Guard Storm Bolters in Power Armor instead of Terminator Armor.

Also I have an order coming from Scibor Miniatures for use with the Space Wolves. I have a War Bear without rider, one of their Celtic SF Warriors, and some Celtic Shoulder Pads. Go check out their site, as they are always adding new items to their existing lineup. Scibor Miniatures
