Front . Wolf Guard Terminators!

These guys are full of attitude! Looking at the wolf guard entry in the codex it is beginning to look like terminators are the most points effective way to field this unit. I know their will be some groaning about how they are armed but its not over till its over. Which in turn means that I am thinking about adding another box of these guys to my collection. More models means more options.

sure Wolf Claws and Storm Shields Why not? I wish that their was an off hand Shield That would open up a hand full of new modeling possibilities. I need 5 in the pack to get the heavy flamer so I have more work to do to bring it all together. These guys wont be painted for a while I need to base them before I prime them and I would like to work on the whole pack at one time.

But I am excited.

Sunday morning upload

Rawr! I'm a wolf lord!

So its the day after, and though I myself did not attend this years ard' boys round 1, my friend calls me late last night with the news that he has taken FIRST place at one in Jacksonville FL.

I am glad to hear the news. And as a reword for him I will post a had full of pic's for him here to day. The very good news is that you all can see them as well!

So this week brings me to all the flesh and hair being either done or very close to done! and I am moving on to some of the "power" weapons. My plans for today include making an other youtube shore and more painting. at some point I will be cough up enough to paint on my own models again.

Started on a droppod last night the interior is very full it has to be one of the more... challenging vehicles to paint. I have yet to paint one befor now...silly , as I have 9 of them primed. (My own.)

Ok on to the Pic' s!

Here are some Wolf Guard!

His guy looks like he is ready to join a rock band!

This one by the ink is one I realy like a lot.

The armour and his face have come out very well.

These two were randomly selected.

Can you read me now? Good, Good.

So were going to hit this post so hard it shows up in 3D!

Or at least post some Pic's.

Onward to the Pic's!!!

These are some of the Wolf guard that are part of the army I am painting at the moment.

They are not done yet but I want to show them off. this project is taking longer than I would have wanted but the more I work on them the more details I see and I am also working full time or more than full time as well.

So their well on their way and the extreme close up works only too well to show what they truly look like. and at one to two feet they look a lot better Silly I know.

And to further display my painting My new wolf lord in progress.

This evenings progress.

You can also see more from me on youtube!

Enjoy.

Ps: I know the videos are not very good but I can only improve from here!

Just some thoughts

So I'm behind in my posting by two months or so.

I am having trouble finding the time with work and painting.

I will work on this. I am painting a load of Space Wolves at the moment.

I will be getting pic's and do a pic' post full of all my work for the last months.

My guard is getting another brake from the table top and being slid a bit back for painting. Honestly I am getting more done by doing less. Sounds weird I guess but By slowing down I am not feeling burned out and this has improved my results and productivity.

I am learning to air brush and this has been challenging and exciting.

I hope to learn a lot over the next 11 months. As in that time I will no doubt be in Afghanistan again.

My gaming has almost doped off but I am looking forward to get stuck in again very soon, with my own Wolves as well. I realized that my IG was too much to tote around despite my enthusiasm.

So a smaller army should make gaming easy again.

catching up and over booked

I am still working on my guard and have hit a new speed bump, which is sad because I was finely making a lot of progress having nearly another 50 guardsmen done. This weekend I lined up my guard again and I wish I had done this sooner. Turns out mu dots are way smaller on the new batch. This looks a bit tacky to me so I have started a 3rd camo pattern.

It can get overwhelming with so much to do. sure it's just hobbie but at times it feels like a mental disability. Still on the block I have my Space Wolves and a load full of Death Korps and maybe some WFB Orcs as well.

Ok picture time.

Or not.. Seems my SD card reader isnt working...So once again no pic's to day.

Howling at the MOON!

I have been letting my inner wolf man out for the last week and my Space Wolves are assimbled and getting ready to launch a full out feeding on the guard today. A 2010 point frenzy! I recieved a large addition to my wolves for X-Mass and now have a wapping 7 droppods! But the question is....

How do I squeeze all of these fellas into a list.. More soon.. Digie cam issue is nearly resolved!

Close very close.

Once again another terniment and a near miss form the top 3. (And how!)

The games went as follows.

LOSS Minor vs marines.

WIN Massacre vs daemons of tzench

WIN Massacre vs IG

Certinly a good track record. But I keep replaying the first game in my head. What did I learn?

Not much. I did learn to keep my mouth shut. I did learn let the opponent play their army and just play my own. But what dose that mean? Well I won first turn and deployed, he deployed. I reminded him he could role to take the first turn from me. And he did just that! up comes a 6 and game on! Now some of you would think man this guy... what a dumbbell good ol' thickie

Mc-thicherson .. what a... but I digress. The mission was the one where you take the other guys flag and defend your own and add in kill points. A tall order. when your force gives up nearly 20+ points... Ok a replay he nukes a manticor drops a Ironclad drednaught practicaly onto my army and takes out 2 or 3 chimeria in the first turn, My dice dont seem to hit enough, But we press-on having lost his dred a land speeder deep-strikes behind my army and survives for 2 or 3 more turns. This worked well for him. He gave me a lot to worrie about and drew a bit of attention away from my real work.. His "flag" and his army on the other side of the board.

The next few turns see me destroy his land speeder a redeamer and a vindecator as well as invade his table quarter A big near miss. I hear from what I though was a judge that we had 24 MIn left to play and decide to get overly creative So I plow my chimers nearest to his flag right up to his army and follow up with a manticor who had been trailing (having lost all his rockets 2 turns before) the last big push to end the game and steal a win. However We play turn 6 and the manticore is lost to a marine squad and the chimera is poped leaving a squad. That squad could have done very well but again who would have known so They move up over the wrecked transport and shoot a squad, this was wrong. Had they ran in the shooting phase they may have gained the distance needed to contest the other objective and brake the draw.as the game ended at the end of that turn.It was a good warm up and a big wake up call.

So what did I learn? Look at the mission, read the extra battle points and play a good solid game

Make a plan and see it through, look for the kill points and press the other side.

And Have some fun!

Its easy to get the should of could of would have's. remember a win in the first game and a big win at that will change up the opponents in the next 2 games. That also would have affected the final standing.From 4th to some where below? or big wins to the top! we never know.

Till next time.
