On the cover of a recent Miniature Wargames was a sprue of Wargames Atlantic Werewolves.
The Blood Cursed…the Fanged Ones…Nightpack…Lost Children of the Forest…whatever you call them the men and women who turn when the full moon shines are a scourge upon the Free Kingdoms. These half-man half-wolf beasts are both cunning and ferocious and once they pick up the scent of prey they are relentless. Villagers pray for the coming of the sun when the moon is full.
This is how the finished and painted versions look on the Wargames Atlantic website.
I like getting these free sprues on magazines as it gives you a chance to get an idea of what the models and quality are like from a manufacturer without initially spending money. Also, as with these werewolves you get a few models that would be ideal for a quick scenario idea.
I constructed the models, you get a number of choices of arms and heads, so if you had the box, all twenty of your werewolves would be different. They were simple to put together, however I did find the placing of the tails a little challenging.
I based mine on twopence coins. There were no bases provided on the cover of the magazine. As these are plastic miniatures the coins add weight to the models. Then using PVA white glue I used Citadel Sand on the bases.
I then gave the models a white undercoat.
The next stage was to use Citadel Basilicanum Grey Contrast paint as a base coat.
More soon.
