Hey guys! I'd like to get some fell wargs... but lets be honest: the new warg models GW made aren't that great. I thought about maybe buying a Fenrisian Wolfpack instead, they look way more detailed and more wolfish too! And they are even cheaper! I'd paint them in the darker direwolf/warg colour scheme though. What do you think? As comparison:

I don't think there is that much of a difference, to be honest. The reason the Fenrisian thingies look better is because someone actually thought about their colour sheme. |

The main difference, if i see that correctly is, that the Fenrisians have fur modeled over their complete body, while the wargs look rather bold on their sides and back. Thats why I dont really like them.. |

Just a note, but they're not actually cheaper. There's only five in a pack. |

I actually like the semi-bald Wargs better, they're not supposed to look to much like wolves IMO. |

Still, it's 19,50 € for five (3.90 p.p.) and 25 € for six wolves (4.17 p.p.). Might be not such a big difference, but yeah.. ^^ |

This has been brought up in a number of other threads, and I may be wrong on this, but I believe someone actually tried mixing the two only to find that the Fenrisian Wolfs were quite a bit larger than the Fell Wargs. But again, I may be wrong on that. |

KnightyKnight's right, there's a pic in another thread with a size comparison and the Fenrisian wolves are bigger than the wargs, however that's only a problem if you want to mix them. Personally I far prefer the Fenrisian wolves and, should I ever get some spare time and cash, I'll be replacing my old wargs with those models, I'm not taken by the new wargs at all. |

Anyone know any other companies selling Wild Wolves/Warg alternatives?

Dark Sword sells ASOIAF Direwolves, I imagine you could use Ghost or Grey Wind. They are the only company I know which is actually more expensive then GW, though (even though the detail is mind-blowingly excellent) which probably kind of defeats the purpose. |

They are larger, to be sure, but I don't think they're too big. A Fenrisian Wolf looks like it could be a bigger specimen of the same species. I think it's within standard guidelines for variation within a species. |

Its one of those things you can't really see untill its in hand. If you put an orc on him he would be about 50% taller then a SKoDA. I'm going to keep a few around for display purposes as Dire Wolves for my Stark fiefdom, but I think, and its my opinion it looks weird on the board. |

Thank you RangerofTheNorth for the photo. Not the best perspective to compare size though  But anyway.. i guess I'll sleep a few nights over it anyway before I decide which wargs or wolves I might buy. Maybe someone has some painted fell wargs to show already? |
