To big for Ulfs/weres imo. I "intend" to use mine as a snow troll/ogres.

I wish these would come off pre-order. They have not been available for ages.
They are available once again

Yes, the Westwind-boys are really good; and also fit in nice scale wise.

I think I've read that the Impact Ulfhedner may be a bit big? Could someone post a picture of it compared to other minis for comparison?

It is certainly big, but not too big, IMO. Well, too big to represent its S4 stat (compared to the S5 Ogre).

It's a Bigun! I use Impact's/ PHil's Phigs Weres as my Ulf's. A little small for STR 4 but match exactly with my valk team. I have one of the ZN werewolves for the situation if my Ulf ever gets a STR pop.

That Westwind's minis looks right. I was looking for a pair of werewolves for a necromantic team and the Confrontation's Wolfen that I have are way too big.

maybe the warmachine brute thralls (flesh golems) and mechatralls (wights), scrapthralls (zombies) fit with the werewolves from westwind?

I don't know if anyone has considered the Rakham miniatures, many many suitable werewolves if they're the right size.

I was hoping to use these as ulfs

and this as a snow troll
Image

But I have no idea on the sizes. Does anyone happen to own any similar minis or has seen them in the flesh? From the price and description the second sounds a lot larger so it comes down to wondering if they're the same size of base or not. Would love a team made from the Kelt Drunes with those wolves mixed in.

[Edit] I've also just found this ball holding arm from a goblin box, the sprue with it on does come to 2.40 Euros but I guess there wouldn't be many needed.

The Rackham weres are huge. Bigger then Ogre big. Great looking just too big.

Cheers for the reply, guess I can still get a snow troll out of one.
