I am deeply indebted to Pil for the idea (from http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12748) for the idea.

Those are nice.  What are the dogs?  From watching your work on Reaper's forums I'm guessing you made them?

Following (and modifying) Pil's design from the thread linked above, the bodies are Clickytech "Fenrir Battlearmor" figures.  The heads are shoulders from Reaper Minis' "Sabretooth CAV", and the ears are electrical contacts out of IDE plugs.

And the tails, what about the tails? Very nice design, well done!

Thank you!  The tails are a horn of some sort from a weapons pack.

The heads are shoulders from a CAV? Well that i didn't see coming. LOL
I so love this conversion, such a simple concept and execution. BUT, not anything to the above i don't like the front arms of the Fenrir clicky. Any of you two conversion maniacs thought about taking another set of rear legs off another Fenrir and swapping them to the front? I just don't like the hands and especially how they are turned out. Just a thought.
But i do like this, so wicked kool and very doable. Must go scrounging now.  :-)

Or even switching left to right and vice versa, that would make the bend in the arms look more natural.
