Pics.

!#$%^&*(). I forgot my password again.

Anyway, this will be my 1st post with lots of pics of my Space Wolves.

Starting off with my favourite unit, the Long Fangs.

40k Long Fangs 1
The Squad Leader is basically holding an auspex and directing fire. Note the paw-like thingie on his backpack. I will use this on many more of my models in the future as a symbol of "marksman".

40k Long Fangs 2
The rest of the squad. The model on the left actually carries an axe from WFB chaos warriors. Lacking 1 more missile launcher so assembled the heavy bolter for fun. Missile launchers are en-route via e-bay even as i type. :)

Next up. Grey Hunters. I never leave home without 2 squads of this guys.

40k Grey Hunters 1
The 3 Grey Hunters with power fist.

40k Grey Hunters 2
Grey Hunters with meltaguns. The model holding the flamer would most probably be used as a Blood Claw in the future.

40k Grey Hunters 3
The two Grey Hunters on both side will be given Mark of the Wulfen. The model on the left is actually one of my favourite. Note the helmet hanging from his belt. The model on the right is also another favourite. Dynamic pose doing a bayonet charge? Me like!

40k Grey Hunters 4
40k Grey Hunters 5
The rest of em. The helmetless model on the top left will also be painted to have Mark of the Wulfern. Models on the right of both pictures are actually trying their best to do a Chow Yun Fatt impersonation.

Blood Claws

40k Blood Claws 1
Basic Blood Claws wielding close combat weapons and bolt pistols. Model in the middle actually have its bolt pistol hand chopped off and reattached at an angle to make it look more bad-ass.

40k Blood Claws 2
A few more Blood Claws with the middle model being my favourite. Looks as if he is stalking forward screaming challenges to anybody who is willing to listen. He also holds a combat blade the other way. The wolf head symbol on his backpack symbolizes a "blademaster". Again this symbol will repeat itself on several more models not unlike the paw-like symbol.

Rune Priest and Wolf Priest

40k Priest 1
40k Priest 2
Both of these models are converted. The rune priest was converted based on this article on the Space Wolves Blog. The headless wolf priest on the other hand is pure me. Even the backpack is converted from 2 axe-head from the Space Wolf Pack and 1 backpack from a Tactical Marine Pack.

Lastly: Wolf Guard in TDA!

40k Termies 1
The model on the left was actually built to represent Arjac Rockfist. Alternatively it can be used as a normal Wolf Guard or even a Wolf Lord. The reason he's still headless is cos I am waiting for my shipment of heads from e-bay. Gonna make this model using 1-of-a-kind head in my army. The termie with Cyclone Missile Launcher also wields a Chainfist. Pick up this trick from Alex Harrison on the Space Wolves Blog.

40k Termies 2
Termies with Wolf Claws. Note the symbol on both of them signifying them as "blademasters".

40k Termies 3
Termie with assault cannon and power fist and basic Wolf Guard in TDA wielding a stormbolter and power weapon. Alternatively, the power weapon can always be used to represent a frost blade.

40k Termies 4
Termies with stormbolters and power fists.

Thats all for now. Looking to paint em up for my Tale of Four Gamers Campaign and Post-Armageddon War Campaign.

Summarized battle reports and to4g..

Woe be me. I better start blogging more. Booted up blogger and forgot password. wtf? hahaha

The lack of connection at home is really screwing up my online time. Better get 1 soon but normal broadband will not do as need extra juice for my ps3.

anyway...

Played 2 games since the last blog.

Game 1: SW vs Sister of Battles
Battle report: N/A
Summary: Trashed em.
Notes: SoBs are too expensive and not tough enough. Keeping my distance and bringing hails of bolter fire seems like the best way to play against em. But if I were to charge 'em, they will die...really really fast.

Game 2: SW vs Tau
Battle report: N/A
Summary: Lost at the last turn.
Notes: Made several tactical errors, namely not running with my wolf guards for a few turns and missing out on contesting the objectives on the last turn. Also should think more on wound allocation.

On another note, the Tale of 4 Gamers (to4g) will be up and running at wolf game shop. The players are:

Me: Space Wolves
Tan: Orks
Mukhsein: Tau
Scott: Chaos Daemons

Further info as per links below.

Conversions are in order as I have made a list based loosely on one I saw on the space wolves blog. At 1500 points, I will have 3 rune priests. With all the bits I obtained from e-bay, my force should come along fine. Pictures to be up soon.

Still stuck...

Still stuck in Kota Kinabalu. Its been a while since I game. Went over to Just Wargame in Karamunsing to ease the pain. lol. Met up with the owner Oliver. Nice chap and great painter. Check out his works at the link provided. Really inspired me to try out a Thoudsand Sons pack but i guess that have gotta wait with the cash flow constraint and all. A diorama with Space Wolves and their eternal enemy is so on my mind now.

Gonna be back to KL tomorrow. Got a match against PnD this coming Sunday. 750 wolfies against SoBs. SoBs wanna get a revenge for their previous loss. Close game which could've swung either way.

Now to the drawing board for a 750 points foot-slogging army. Even if PnD allows proxies, I do not have the model to proxy a Razorback nor Rhino. lol.

Also, looking for a 4th player for "A Tale of Four Gamers" campaign. PnD will be doing orks while meowsan will be doin nids. Worse come to worse, it will be "A Tale of Three Gamers"!!!

Nothing much. Enjoying my Warhammer 40k's Space Wolves and just want a place to show some pics and the inspirations behind them.

Also will include some other minis in my collection.

Stay tuned.
