The new greens for the Wolfpack arrived this morning, and Jo Brumby has again done a superb job. They're now available as a pre-order, and they will go on sale next week. Here's a few photos of the finished master models.

Awesome. I love these. I was really disappointed by the toonish proportions of the werewolf, so its a big relief to see these are realistic. Thanks Jo Brumby.

Great work. I like these guys a lot. Will they be available to purchase at Salute?

Sorry to disagree with you on this one. It's a were-wolf, so who is to say what is 'realistic'. I didn't think it looked toonish, but of course it's a matter of taste.

No, sorry Andy, they won't. They didn't get finished in time to make it onto the April mould. Normally we wouldn't need so much time to get models made, but the miniatures business in the UK goes a bit mental in the month before Salute!

I estimate a release date around 12th May.

Yeah have to agree with Andy here. Ive always loved werewolves and i dont think ive ever seen one that i like more than the otherworld one. I love the pose of the claw as if hes just slashed someone.
These wolves are great too. I really like how the dire wolves are subtly bigger but still obviously so. The one that is growling is an amazing model.
Also the wolf that is low with a curve to his back is in an amazingly realistic position.
Great minis once again

Wow those Dire wolves are huge 28mm to the shoulder! That's about 800 lbs.

Bigger than the one in the song:

"I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky,
I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.

When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in".
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me."

I DO love the pose of the were-wolf, its brilliant, but the superhero muscles and huge feet really ruin it for me, which is why I don't buy Reaper anymore. But these here wolves.. wow.

Good sculpts on the wolves. Will these be used as the basis for the predicted future warg riders for the goblins or will these be done seperately?

Good question Dave. I'd love to see some decent wolf rider models, and these wolves would be a good place to start.

wolf 2 is sniffing the bum of wolf 1.

I like that these aren't all teeth and claws. These will make great companions for druids and rangers as well as wild wolves.

When you get a chance, can you please throw a few kobolds/goblins and orcs (and perhaps a hill giant?) next to the wolves, to give us a sense of proportional scale?
