Are you going to run them as a Space Wolves successor?

Not entirely sure yet, i like the wolves but i have to go through the codexes first to see which marine chapter suits me the best.

I see, well since they haven't really updated anything for the Wolves or the Blood Angels yet it may be better to use something out of the Space Marines book. I don't really know what they did in the Dark Angels codex...

DA´s are alright,
It could really use a better special rule for the boys in green,
but the Stubborn-rule works alright.

Hard to say which to go with,
C:SM is pretty neutral on it´s own,
maybe go with that and see if you can find a play-style that suits you betterly?

I like them, especially the ice/rock bases. Try holding your camera a little farther away to avoid blur. 3nodding

Cool, pretty good theme for Space Wolves. 3nodding Have you tried bracing your phone against the tabletop before snapping your shots, just to stabilize it?

Also, i'm looking into some other manufacturers besides GW and forge world, any ideas, recommendations?

What sort of thing are you looking for? A whole different game system, or proxies for 40k?

proxies mostly, since i don't always like what Gw has to offer, or just to add some fluff or a personal touch to my army to make it stand out more 3nodding

I like Mad Robot Miniatures for conversion heads, and Sean King is always posting about Puppets War, which has a big variety of weapons, armor, and full-model conversion bits that are pretty compatible with 40k. If you look for 28mm Heroic-scale conversion bits, you'll probably find a few more places.

hm, looks interesting, kinda annoying i live in europe and a lot of those sites are usa based sweatdrop

Puppets War is from Poland. If you like the Space Wolves look you might take a look at Scibor Monstrous Miniatures, namely the SF Celtic Warriors.
