Wolf Priest in plastics

With Ulrik being the only Wolf Priest model currently available, I went about making one from old Space Wolf sprues and the new boxed set. I don't use the wolf helmet on other regular models in my army, so it is unique to the WP, and will only be used for other characters if at all.His Crozius is made from a power axe and bits from the accessory sprue. And as I take a minimalist approach to my non-special HQ choices, he is armed with a bolt pistol.

 

 

GLWL Game 2

 

 GLWL Scenario: Treacherous Trio!

This past Saturday I played my second round Great Lakes Warhammer League game. The game was decided on the second turn when the Grey Seer conjured a great crack in the playing field that swallowed the Vampire Lord. But otherwise, the game was hard fought and well played.

Mike's Blood Knights ran rampant from unit to unit, while on the other end of the table my Plague Monks and Furnace were wrecking the undead in combat with it. My spies were picked off easily and early, while Mike's waltzed across the table.

When the smoke cleared, the only models on the table were Mike's 3 spies, all in his deployment zone. My Doomwheel raced across the table with two chances to take them out. The first (fifth) turn, I rolled a total of 5" on my movement roll. The second I got to them... and miss-fired! The game ended as his spies escaped, but his army did not.

Thanks to Mike for a hard fought game. We had some rules queries, but we worked them out in game genuinely, and without argument. The Skaven book as written leads to them inevitably. Thanks again Mike.

3 opponents left in the League. Orks, Orks again, and Warriors of Chaos!

Final Score: 3049 Skaven, 1113 Vampire Counts

Resin Bases arrive.

The day before the end of January, my resin bases arrive from Dragonforge. I finished up my Rune Priest, added him to his new ice base (dragonforge wasteland bases painted white and washed blue, snow flock added).

 

Here are the bases for the rest of the models. Also, my February entry of Grey Hunters.

 

 

Terminator Captain

I had plans for finishing a Godhammer Terminator Squad, and this Space Hulk model was to be my Captain. For now, the squad (and this model) will probably be on hold while my money is spent on Space Wolves. At the very least, I based, shaved off emblems, added some bits, and will prime him so is playable. So for now, here is Agemman of the 1st Company... in progress.

 

Rune Priest

Here is the Rune Priest I made from the Wolf Guard Terminator boxed set, finished up. I am still waiting for my resin bases to arrive from Dragon Forge, but when they do I will have him finished and entered as my first month in the 40k Fight Club 2010 Painting Resolution.

 

 

Skaven at Adepticon!

I registered for my first Adepticon, and I'll be playing in the Warhammer Fantasy Championship. Adepticon is releasing their comp scoring guidelines for Skaven on Feb. 2nd, so I am eagerly awaiting the massive penalties for all my goodies and having to then fit what I want back down into 2000 points.

I am thinking I will probably have to paint another unit or two of rats, and I will finally have to paint my Warlord on a Warlitter conversion I did way back when the book was released. I have been playing a Grey Seer in the GLWL and most other pick-up game, but for Adepticon I will need the comp boost a Warlord gives me if I want any chance of taking my rare slot goodies.

Anyone else prepping for a trip to Chicago?

New Sons of Russ

I am now a Space Wolf player! I picked up my first SW models this weekend, and now I am painting them as my 2010 resolution (another change). I have 4 Wolf Guard Terminators and a Rune Priest in Terminator Armor I made from the set. The Rune Priest is my January Painting Resolution entry. I just started his basecoat after class tonight...
