Author Topic: Shout out for Warwolf variant conversions (Read 3447 times)

Spenetrator · « **on:** 11 September 2015, 06:14:11 »

Hey, So I've bought myself a Warwolf, and I really want to mod it to represent the 'H' Variant.
(So with the LRM10s replaced with Heavy Large Lasers)
Has anyone had a go a similar Conversion.

I was thinking of building the Heavy lasers in the missile pods, flush to the front, but mounting them Lower in the torso, perhaps under the arms, built in to the lower torso...

Alternate thoughts/advice would be welcome. :)

One is on the CSO site as part of last years diorama, it used Solitaire Heavy Lasers in place of the missile launchers.

Thanks Dragon, I'll go hunting for that.

They do make plexicard hexagon rods that you can use as a basis for the heavy lasers.

Warwolf pic from Gencon-14 is absent at CSO, but been in photo collections of that year.

Painted by Psycho?

I wonder if those are the metal Solitaires' guns or the MWDA versions?

Metal. Detailing on the MWDA version is different.

They are huge!!

Ended up using Madcat IV arms... The upper arms even fit over the shoulders nicely so I didn't have to cut them to fit.

I'll post some pictures once I've finished it. She's Base couated at the moment, but I'm pretty happy so far.

O0 Will wait for pics.

Finally uploaded pics.
Apologies for the shoddy camera and paint jobs, I only just started painting these up.

Think the Mad cat arms scale better than the HUGE solitaire Cannons.

Good call on using the MadCat arms!

IAMCLANWOLF · « **Reply #12 on:** 05 October 2015, 15:34:10 »

Yeah, those seem to be a good fit. Nicely done.

Makes me wonder about the Blood Asp shoulder guns.

SteelRaven · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 October 2015, 01:21:34 »

Looks great, almost a match for the TRO cover!

Daaaaamn. I actually have a pair of those... They'd probably work too. :(

Then I wouldn't have had to buy a second Solitaire so I had matching HLaser arms on the Madcat IV...

Good call going with the Savage Wolf arms. It looks fantastic.

Aaaaaaaand finally with some Painting done. Just needs a bit of last minute tidying up, and basing, but pretty much finished!

Nice. I like your color choices. The technique on the light browns is very good.

Dragoon1 · « **Reply #19 on:** 25 October 2015, 09:45:22 »

Very nice! It came together really well! O0

That, my friend, is a very classy mini! Really great result, and looks proportional.

Just flock that base. Really, help bring the base up to match the quality of the rest of the mini.
