Thunder Wolves

I got my the Thunder Wolves I ordered from the Philipines.  I only had to wait about 5 weeks.  I didn't have any problems with them, and they threw in the bases they are on.  I really like these wolves.  It looks like they could actually carry some marines around.  Some other wolves out there look a little small.






All the bodies and weapons are magnetized so they can become iron priests, wolf lords, or just regular Thunder Wolves.  I can't wait to start painting them.
  I got the wolves on ebay under the search 'Wolf Mounts for Miniature Tabletop Gaming ' Sold by Jeanwulf.  He had some negative comments due to the time it was taking to get the models.  Mine took about 5 weeks to get them, but they are definitely worth the wait.

Now they are being sold by Mythicast, but are currently not listed.  They will most likely come up again.  They also were very affordable.  $55 for the set with $21 shipping. With shipping, that is just over $15 a wolf.

Here is one iron priest.  I need to drill into the metal body of the priest and put the magnet up into his torso.  Other than that, he looks great.

I also finaly took the plunge and bought some resin bases.  They look great.  I bought them from secret weapon miniatures.  I now want to have all my figures on them.  They are really nice looking and really add to the army to tie them together, and really make them shine.  Here is a wolf guard with twin claws on a base.  You can just make out a circle of runes under him.  It should be easier to see once its painted.

Finaly,  here is a pic comparing the Thunder Wolves to Canis Wolfborn.  I think the size of the wolves are great.  I need to get Canis on a better base so he looks like a leader.

  1. Those wolves are definitely nicer than the one Games Workshop produced.

  2. Can you give a link to this models, please. I already purchased T/wolves from MrDandy, and they are fantastic (looking even better in real than on the photos), but it never hurts to know more options. thanks

  6. Sadly it seems like those thunderwolves have dropped off the face of the earth, as has their maker "Mythicast" as when you visit their ebay page they are no longer trading.

    Gutted as I'd definitely have got myself some of those

  7. Hey guys,

    I just found this site by Googling. I'm glad you enjoyed the products! However, we are so sorry for any inconvenience that jeanwulf2k may have caused. Rest assured that we have stricter policies now for retailers so that may never happen again.

    We've recently set up shop at http://www.mythicast.com/ in case you guys are still wondering where we went. There are no third party sellers here anymore, it's just us, so you're dealing with us directly.

    Thank you and hope you drop by soon!
