Knights of the White Wolf

So I started collecting my Middenheim/Middenland themed army quite a while ago now, and it has been a slow process. But here is the first core unit; Knights of the White Wolf.
I love their background. The fact that they eschew shields and just charge in, furiously waving massive hammers, is so different from all the other more righteous knightly orders it's just cool. I like how the official color scheme will stand out from the rest of the army's blue and white. 


I usually put a bit more effort into my command groups. I filed down the champion's breastplate and sculpted the word 'Ulric' out of green stuff. I also attempted to make the blazing sun on the standard bearer's armor look like a wolf.

Rank and file

Unfortunately the kit only came with four wolf pelts. My plan is to turn the other two panther pelts into wolfs with a bit of green stuff. While I wait for some modelling tools, and inspiration, I'm busy on a unit of handgunners. It will be the only one in the army, as fluff wise I am well aware that Middenlanders prefer the crossbow.

Hopefully I'll get a decent size force before Warhammer changes completely and half the models go out of production.
