Back with the Space Wolves, I've got about twenty Grey Hunters, five Fenrisian Wolves and three Thunderwolf Cavalry to start on, and two dreadnoughts. I got an Assault on Black Reach box from eBay which somehow ended up with a couple swapped out sprues so I ended up with two dreadnoughts instead of the standard one. What I've decided to do with them is create the dreadnoughts as Geri and Freki, Leman Russ' two pet thunderwolves.
I've started work on cleaning them up and removing some decorative bits as well as starting on space wolf-ing them up. I want to give them a very wolf-like look to them, and I've started with the feet and making them look like paws. This was my first time trying out some green stuff and milliput. I used the yellow-grey milliput to create the claws and the greenstuff for the fur.
The fur making part was definitely a challenge, but I started to get the hang of it after a few paws. One thing I learned is it's helpful to keep the tool moist with water as well as the surface of the greenstuff to keep them from sticking.
