Of Wolf and Man

Ulfwerenar means 'wolf-warriors' and is the word used by the Norse to describe those able to transform their shape into a grotesque half-man half-wolf. Such individuals are quite common in the north, where whole families of these Weres live in forest settlements.

And here they are. Half of the unit in man form and half in were form. They will alternate in the first rank of the unit: when they transform I'll put the Weres in the first rank, otherwise the men will be in. As mentionedd in the Norse Army supplement published in White Dwarf by Nigel Stillman and Rick Pristley, it is not necessary to have duplicate models for all minis in the unit: 

'Note that in practice it is enough to tell the opposing player a unit is composed of Ulfwerenar - it is not strictly necessary to have duplicate models.'

Other minis painted at the same time are five warriors that will complete existing units.

Were Form


Same mini, but different fur tone.

The Alpha wolf in all his glory...


Human Form


Actually, this one is a berserker (a remarkably old one). He will be swapped with the berserkers leader painted a while ago and who wears a wolf pelt on his shoulders. This fantastic mini is from Red Box Games.


Warrior Bondsmen

Led by Lagherta ?



Ah no, this isn't Lagherta's shield. 😉

This one also is a fantastic mini from Red Box Games. He would rather look like a warrior from the Highlands in Scotland. But I needed an extra Norse warrior with a double-handed weapon. He looks fine for this role too.
