thade Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 My club is hosting an escalation league (have N pts worth of mini's painted for this week, N+M for next week, etc) to get people to paint their armies or start new ones. As you all may have gathered from my extremely frequent posting of questions regarding the two factions, my new army is a GK/SW alliance. I've got two boxes of GK already, and today marked the first purchase of Space Wolves. I'm really excited. Had I known in June what I know now, I probably would've started with a Space Wolf army. But, everybody starts with vanilla marines, right? Don't get me wrong, I love my DIY chapter. But I've been trying to do heavy melee with the codex and, well, Space Wolves do that very well without much jury-rigging. Also, they look awesome and have really cool background fluff. The first box is going to be built in the following way (and I'm pretty sure the next two boxes on my way to 1750 will be the same with slight variation, perhaps a PF or Plasma gun). Wolf Guard with 2 Wolf Claws Grey Hunters x9, Mark of the Wulfen, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Rhino Naturally I'll need 2 more WG (each of which will lead the next two squads of GH), but I'm excited. It's a beginning. I'm going to pick up Cannis and field him as a Wolf Lord with 8-10 Fenrisian Wolves, and using left over bits I'll build two Lone Wolf units. Finishing off the list will be 6-8 GK in a Land Raider (the LR will fill a SW slot but be painted GK; Counts As for the win). I'm still hammering out ideas for the alliance here, but I think it'll be fun. I think I'll crack that box open right now. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183690-i-just-bought-my-first-box-of-space-wolf-marines-_/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thade Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 well, thats not very fluffy. he inquisition has a bad taste for the Wolves. I already spawned a discussion regarding this (on this board), and the conclusion was that some Inquisitors may not get along with them, but most would. And I'm not including an Inquisitor (yet)...just Grey Knights.

Wispy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Don't listen to toasty. There's three pages in the codex describing a Grey Knight-Space Wolves team up. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183690-i-just-bought-my-first-box-of-space-wolf-marines-_/#findComment-2171972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 there are also accounts of members of the inquisition that have been, lets say less then well treated, as well as there being rumor about the flaw in our gene seed tat makes the inquisition look as us more than any other chapter. yes while they will, and have, fought along side of use in either defense of the EOT, or in a crusade against the Orks. I would have to argue that on a whole the inquisition does not like us very much.

I would have to argue that on a whole the inquisition does not like us very much. I won't disagree. I think it'll make for some very nice tension in the back story to my little SW company, isolated with the GK in the middle of an incredible mess.
