Best model for sabretusks

original thread ↗

I don't think much of these models, have heard of wargs and fenrisian Wolves being subbed in but the latter in particular seem a bit small for the crunch.  I like the look of the thunderwolf cavalry (from 40k) but you can't buy these separately from the riders.  Have checked the past threads on this but they seem to be a bit outdated - does anyone have any suggestions?
Chaos hounds could work well as they have horns darting forward from their heads.

Fenrisian Wolves are certainly the easiest GW option: cheap (as far as GW goes), plastic, good sculpts.
The size seems about right to me, if anything I think their dynamic poses make them a little larger looking than the actual Sabretusk model.
Here are some on standard cavalry bases for a sense of scale:



They are slightly bigger than chaos warhounds, but slightly smaller than the LotR Wargs I think.
The fenrisian wolves are a great choice, alternatively you could get the warg models from The Hobbit. But I myself am a big fan of the boars from the ork and goblin boar boyz kit. Saberpigs are way cooler than cats with dental issues. ;)

You can buy the goblin wolf riders or just the wolves ~ for relatively cheap. Admittingly they tend to look more like giant rats but its still an option.
I use Smilodon miniatures from dee zee( I think! :lol:) been a while since I bought them. Check the alternative miniatures thread.
