Converted Goblin Wolf Riders...are here

The Vampire Count bashing goblin riders are here. I was asked to continue the commissioned theme into the Wolf Riders. These are some of the oldest of the models that are part of this army and are in need of a little updating.

To continue the theme, I decided to go back to the skeleton/tombstone idea once again. The commissioner will take care of most the basing, but I wanted to have plenty of eye candy to tie these in.


The goal was also to make each model an individual, just like the boys were.

The bowman are bit more static, and the spears got the dynamic look.


Speaking of the spears, that weapon is in serious need of updating. I decided to use the skaven blades, to give them a more mean look.


I changed a few of the wolves around also. Got the one jumping the tombstone. Covered up the joins, turned some heads.



Some frontal shots of the back rank.


Below you can see the 50 mm base to change up some of the bowman, and add eyecandy.

Note the skeleton rising up out of the base on the pic below.


So there you have it, the VC Bashin' Wolf Riders.
Next up for the VC orcs, will be a unit of Black Orcs...probably later this spring.

Goblin Wolf Riders in the Works

Next project for the Vampire Count Battling Orcs is a unit goblin wolf riders.

This is one of the older kits for the Goblins. I still like the goblins but the wolves are a different story.

I decided once again to use skeletons and tombstones and such. This one gets a skeleton with a spear sticking him to the ground. The models were going to be armed with every option.

The bow is fine, but the spear needs some help, so the plan will be to fix those spears and make them a bit more goblin like. That will be shown next time.
