Release Day

Recommended Posts

got my Codex, Space Wolves Pack, Njal Stormcaller and Wolf Guard Terminators 3days ago. Love the smell of a new book, kinda like new car smell LMAO I spent the morning with the wife-to-be, went paint balling with some friends *for Russ* spent time reading through and assembling the new plastics, currently watching the Edmonton vs Calgary hockey game with the wife-to-be drinking beer!

Today to celebrate the new codex my local GW had a Defend the Fang (Edit:Planetarstrike) battle. It was space marines versus the rest of the universe. Sadly, I had to retreat due to something I had to be at for school but it was a ton of fun. Doubly tragic was the death of my Wolf Lord who crushed an Avatar's skull in with his last breath. It was pretty horrible tho. I caused a wound the turn before with my TH so the avatar and WL struck at the same initiative. ThenI struck simultaneously with the avatar, killed it then I failed 3 SS saves... :)

 

I'll find out tomorrow if we held the Fang. I am guessing we did. Before I had to leave we crushed the daemon invasion on one flank that was backed up by some wraithlords of the eldar. (Weird alliance I know.) The other flank had a ton of eldar jetbikes. I only lost about 300 points before I had to leave... WOlf Lord and some wolf scouts who sacrificed themselves to hold off some Howling banshees who had some Blood Claws in their sights. FUn all around. Cost a lot for that wolf lord but he hung in there. I feel that the dice gods were looking down on me for failing 3/4 SS invulnerable saves.

I celebrated the release not with ale, but with 25 years old Single-Malt Bunnahabhain Whisky from Islay.

YOU ARE NOT A TRUE WOLF!! [Punches in face with tankard in hand]

[Raising my Runestaff to parry the punch] I´m not a true Wolf?! I´m a SW for 18 years now. I´m Runepriest Dark Bjoern, thrusted advisor of Krom Dragongaze Great Company. I am a true SW!!!

Punches in face with tankard in hand

 

Bar Fight! [Grasping his ale with his left hand, and punching Vrox (not spitting The Drink) with his right hand]

 

Saddly, codex didn't come to me. It is somewhere on the country border right now ehh...

But I've bought air brush instead to fast repaint mine wolves.

Bar Fight! [Grasping his ale with his left hand, and punching Vrox (not spitting The Drink) with his right hand]

 

[looking down at the one drop that was spilt from his tankard after being punched] "Sooo, thats how it's gunna be eh brother" [ picks up a full keg and throws it high in the air toward Decoy and while the table turns to watch the Keg arc through the air, he kedney punches Nadir]

 

 

After building a couple of lists I finally have a reason to paint my long fangs, that's reason for celebration in itself.

 

Vrox

[shouting] DOG PILE!!!

[leaps onto the fighting forms of Vrox and Nadir]

 

[Fenris breads hearos like a bar breeds drunks.]

[Loud, Proud and spoiling for a Fight. ]

[belial of the dark angels. ]

 

(after all we must listen to the dark angels some times ^_^ )

Disgraceful behaviour, whelp. Dark Bjoern is a Rune Priest, and it would be a mercy for me to intervene.

 

*Leaps forward to land atop Firenze, punching him as he lands*

 

I ain't feeling merciful :devil:

I haven't played since 2nd Edition so I went to the closest Games Workshop and picked up the Codex. I also watched some really obnoxious kids play a game of 40K. Then I went home and wore in my new boots while reading the Codex. I'm sure it was funny to see. A grown man walking around his house aimlessly with his nose buried in a book wearing new boots.

 

I'm glad I missed the last poor excuse for a Codex as well. Apparently it was a magazine or something similar?

 

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to drawing up some of my first Army Lists in what must be about 13 years! I love the Wolf Guard Terminators.

I didn't mean to start this... Wow.

 

@Bjoern: Sorry. I think ale should be drunk at all times.

 

[Runs towards the dogpile brandishing Thunder Hammer]

 

WOOOOOO!!!!!

LOL, don´t worry. that´s the Fang. That´s how our parties end up. :lol: Ale is okay, mead would be better. But didn´t have both at hand, only a bottle of whisky. And a good old whisky is more then fine to celebrate our new ´dex.

 

@Vassakov: Hey brother, thanks for the help. Good to see that not much has changed in the Fang. :D

I managed to join a battle at my local GW SW players with two units each and 7 Ork players also with two units each. It was a magnific battle. I had command of 5 WG in TDA and Njal. My high point was casting JotWW at the same time as the other Rune Priest and taking out 80% of a unit of 30 Ork Boyz causing them to run off the table.

 

The low point was getting slaughtered by Gazghul and his bodyguard of 15 Big Mek Boyz. However in true wolf fashion we took 6 of the Big Meks with us and prevented Gazghul from contesting the objectives ensuring a 2-0 win for the Wolves.

 

(Slaps all fighting Wolves and heads to the Bar)

(As a mere Blood Claw, Mammon watches the bar fight and true to Russ forgoes common sense and plunges in swing a ham shank and stool!) "For Russ!"

 

The new 'dex is amazing. I worked the morning then spent the entire afternoon waiting for the damned Fedex guy to bring the SW delivery. Got a Njal and the 'dex. Gonna pick up the sw pack box this week and use the bits to finish building the Long Fangs and plastic scouts I started building last year. Going to sell off a bunch of my guard to afford the box set of the Terminators and new paints. Otherwise I was drinking beer and being loud and proud in the true Wolf Way!

I stayed true to my oath and as a result the Saga of the Drunken Werewolf is being compiled as we speak. I did have some fun with beer and hard liqour and swam under a full moon (cold cold water), literally howling and shouting "FOR RUSS AND THE WOLFTIME!". My army buddies thought I had lost my mind, which prolly is true more or less.

 

Now if I only could stop my hands from shaking, going to need a few days before I can paint again. :D

 

Oh, almost forgot:

DOGPILE! *jumps into the brawl flailing around madly!*

My first new marine is about 60% done.. and he's looking.. hes looking good! I've tried a different more dark and 'evy metal approach with these.. one takes about two days.. so, I'll be damn if they don't turn out nice in the end xD

 

I'll post some pcitures when the first two are done :D

[Crawls out from underneath dog pile]

 

Well I just batteld my Tau freind at 2k (I offered to play with 1500 against his 2k but he said that was unfair)and kicked him so hard he gave up on turn three. And my swiftclaws got their first blood, a tau commander.

 

[Grabs an ale, down it in one. climes up one of the wall bracings and dive bombs the brawl]

[Clotheslines a BC who foolishly challenged him] Ha! Fail!

 

I tested my idea for a 1k army and won against my bros SW. And Ejil beat Logan in single combat after 4 turns of assualt of them being the last 2 on the field.

 

[Clubs Greywolf into the air again]

 

Mikal! Decoy! Grey Mage! Join in!

*Grabs an ale from the bar and observes Firenze carving the Blood Eagle into SkullBob*

 

That'll teach the blood claws to nick ale that isn't there's :)

 

*Another blood claw spins out of the brawl and bumps into Thorgrim, spilling his ale*

 

Right.... Thats it!

 

*Picks the blood claw up by his ankle, spins him around his head and flings him across the ale hall*

 

Go long, lads! :D

 

Cheers

 

Thorgrim
