The Confrontation Wolfen miniatures make great proxies for Warpwolves. I’ve never been that interested in starting a Circle Orboros force, but I’ve had these old Confrontation miniatures for years and when I saw the Warpwolf Stalker I thought they’d make perfect proxies. The only Warpwolf miniature I actually like is the Pureblood; the original Warpwolf is in a weird pose and the new Stalker, certainly next to these Wolfen miniatures, is only so-so. These Wolfen will never be tournament legal, but I don’t care. It’s about putting paint on some neglected miniatures. I’ll never play Confrontation, so they may as well be used for something worthwhile!
Anyway, here are a few more of photos of my ‘impostor’ Warpwolves.

Here’s the painting scheme (and more-or-less the order I painted it in) –

- Ears: Elf Flesh (DB)
- Armour (Green): Orkhide; Orkhide + Knarloc (50:50)
- Leather: Snakebite
- Claws: Graveyard + Snakebite (66:33)

- Base (Earth): Watered down Graveyard Earth
- Base (Stone): Watered down Codex Grey; Fortress Grey (DB); Badab Black (Wash)
I’ve 4-5 more of these guys unpainted in the shed. I wonder which Circle warlock is good with Warpwolves?
