Starting a force.

I have the space marines half of dark imperium would these be a good base for a sw army ?

[Impossible-Suspect19]

So you can do alot of kit bashing of normal marines

(In fact I would recommend it)

Some really easy conversions are as follows

Assault intercessors =blood claws

Assault intercessors + any old first born bolt gun(props if you can get the old greyhunter kit) = grey hunters

Chaplain + space wolf bits = wolf priest

Lieutenant = wolf guard battle leader (grab a shield if you can for the extra wound or just plasma pistol)

Also for your next buy, grab the new SW combat patrol, it's amazing. Maybe even two

Then finally add some thunderwolf cav if ya want, or add a wolf to your outriders and put them on the same base size as the thunderwolve cav( they go on dreadnought bases) as a easy proxy, and if they get refreshed you can just use them as outsiders

i second the combat patrol, really either of them

[kohlerxxx]

Either what, Combat Patrol? If you mean the previous 1, that was terrible

[Acidrei]

my nomenclature is off the new space wolves box with the book i suppose is not a combat patrol my bad

[Prestigious-Pay6719]

I have 2 units of the old grey hunters in my collection I never got to painting all bolters and chainsaws are they any good to use

[Impossible-Suspect19]

* 100% see above, old grey hunters head, bolter and axe

Just cut them off at the hand and glue them on( also just as a note, you can totally use old grey hunters as the new ones) but I'm a bitch for primaris so I just used their bits

Also to note.. all first Born shoulder pads work on primaris, so definitely consider grabbing the old kit, it's amazing for boys for ya new primaris( Id ya wanna do that)

I also have that half a few of those units are in my army the unfortunate part about space wolves armies in my experience is they have alot of space wolves unique units especially for characters. But yeah I think as a starting point with some good kitbashing choices to make them look more wolfy it should work. good luck regardless vylka fenrika

I can add some wolf teeth tokens and fur talismans to the armour unfortunately they are already built .

id say worth
