Hearth Guard - Project Diary

 Below is a series of pictures and notes regarding my recent new Warhammer 40,000 army project. After splitting the 10th Edition Leviathan launch box, and seeing a lot of my White Scars army get hit with the Legends hammer, I decided to start a new Primaris only* Space Wolves army.

While I don’t love the wolfy part of the the Space Wolves, I do enjoy the Viking part. I also like the baby blue color, but didn’t care for the whole model to be baby blue, nor did I want the traditional snow bases of a Space Wolves army. My solution was to create my own successors (or my own Great Clan if you’re really a stickler) called the Hearth Guard. They would be inspired by the Hounds of Morkai color scheme and take a more ritualistic and Icelandic tone.
