Oldenhaller Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 So winter war starts on tuesday at 500 points and then goes up by 250 points a week. I'm looking to win again - Ive taken the crown twice in the last three years and only entered twice! And with a new 'dex and a new boxed set I'm updating my wolves a bit. So here we are....the new rune priest and long fang pack... http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f151/evil-jim/04122009389.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f151/evil-jim/05122009395.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f151/evil-jim/04122009386.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f151/evil-jim/05122009392.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f151/evil-jim/05122009391.jpg will get the greenstuff under the arm sorted, more detailing on the marines and then undercoated and basecoated today fun fun fun :cuss ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiguriusX Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 it's a big bolt pistol :D He "thought" it was a bolt pistol because all he has to compare it to are the massive heavy weapons in his pack That or he has long fang inferiority complex haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2205840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HQ - Rune priest - JotWW - Tempest's Wrath T - 10 x Grey Hunters - Flamer - Plasma Gun FA - 3 x Thunderwolf Cav - 1 x Thunderhammer - 1 x Melta Bombs HS - 3 x Long Fangs - 2 x Missile Launchers should be fun.

Levitas Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 yay, another member of the 5 long fang missile launchers club. Nicknamed 'Rocket men' I have 10, and pretty much ran out of conversion ideas after 5... They look great, sure you will continue the winning streak!

Grey Mage Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Ive been hearing about this for years- and never been where they ran one.

Oldenhaller Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Cheers guys - much appreciated :) Am looking to get another 10....and 3 mor lascannons - 12 used to be impressive but now i can have 15! They're all now undercoated and I'm hoping to get them painted by tomorrow....which is awkward as i have a date tonight...do you think she'll mind if i take my painting with me...? As to winter war, it was something which GW used to run in stores as a post christmas spend more money idea....not sure if its still official but the naming tradition has kept on here in swansea. ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2206826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I know for the last couple of years they've been running an Iron Halo event to get people in and buying which I'm keen to participate in next year if it is still around. Good luck brother! I love our missile launcher Fangs, so cheap and versatile, however where I shall acquire mine from will be kept secret... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2206830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldenhaller Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Alas I have but one....even tho two does answer the question of 'what's better than a vindicator...?' paint on mini's until all hours of the morning tonight ftw. fingers crossed old phone has a charger someplace in the house...then pictures. Tjhinking of going for a lighter shade of grey than normal a'la the white wolves of old - prolly going to go for a 50/50 mix of shadow grey and space wolf blue as a base and then work up from there just realised there's a ring on cortez' finger with the 'I' of the damnable inquisition on there....must file that off before painting starts in ernest! ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2207834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 So didn't manage to make any games in the first week due to going away visiting and thus lack of painting (however cute friends more than make up for the lack of points) This weeke we were up to 750 Army list was; HQ - Wolf Lord - Thunderwolf Mount - Wolf Tooth Necklace - Thunderhammer - Saga of the Bear - Belt of Russ HQ - Rune Priest - Chooser of the Slain - JotWW - Living Lightning HQ - Rune Priest - JotWW - T - 8 Grey Hunters - Melta Gun - Power Weapon - Rhino - Extra Armour FA - 1 Thunderwolf Cav HS - Vindicator - Extra Armour Game 1 vs marines; Tac squad with missile and flamer, dakka razback, dakka pred, vindicator, 5 man bike squad , captain on a bike with a relic blade Game 2 vs Eldar; Pathfinders, Rangers, Guardians with Star Cannon, Wraithlord with brightlance, Wraithlord with star cannon and wraithsword, avatar Will update with bat reps when work is a little less hectic - surfice to say lots of things fell down holes, nothing likes a thunderhammer to the face and the avatar was killed in close combat by a grey hunter who has since been promoted to wolf guard! ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2217367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Been a while since I've updated here so.... My games have been coming along apace, I've won every encounter I've played and now at 2250 I've just seen off the nid horde - MotM goes to Byorn for finishing off trygon prime with a plasma cannon headshot BOOM! I missed a week for running a larp event so find myself in third place currently but am now with 3 weeks to go rather behind on my painting schedule The trick is I've got a whole new scheme and want to build/paint the army in total to go with it as there are 40 tournament points up for grabs for the best painted army. This will take me from 3rd to 1st! Currently to paint for the 3000 points... Rune Priest - Highlighted Rune Priest - Unbuilt Land Raider Prometheus - Basecoated Wolf Lord on thunderwolf - Highlighted 2xFenrisian Wolves - Basecoated 10 Grey Hunters - Undercoated - 2 highlighted Rhino - Basecoated 5 Grey Hunters - Undercoated Razorback - Highlighted 7 Grey Hunters - Undercoated 2 Wolf Guard - Undercoated Arjac Rockfist - Detailed Lone Wolf - Highlighted Ancients Assault Force Iron Priest - Unbuilt Bjorn the Fell Handed - Finished Dreadnought - Highlighted Venerable Dreadnought - Unbuilt 5xWolf Scouts - Basecoated Long Fangs - 5xLas - Highlighted Vindicator - Basecoated Long Fangs - 5xML's - Basecoated Hmmm....quite a bit to do and I'm going to need a new lamp and more gryphone sepia....

Oldenhaller Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Productive weekend it would seem - lots of work done on vehicles. Think I'll spend some time on squads in the week as they're in more need of attention. Will be looking to get a 2500 army out on tuesday - looking at dreads and vindis supporting large packs of grey hunters in rhinos...maybe witha some wolf lord and rune priest love on thunderwolves... Have purchased the thunderfire cannon for the techmarine-who-is-soon-to-be-an-ironpriest in there...love that model. Also have the elf lord with the 'i have a large schlong blade" for making my st celestine and I'be broken out the stock power armour rune priest...he's just kinda cool and I'll build him with a bolt pistol. Camera should be along on wednesday so will get some pics then.

Oldenhaller Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 So I've been running rather troops light recently. This being the case I thought I'd change that slightly and take piles of grey hunters. This then is my 2500 all comers list for tuesday night. Wolf Lord Bolt Pistol Thunderwolf Mount Runic Armour Belt of Russ Frost Blade Rune Priest Bolt Pistol Force Axe Chooser of the Slain Runic Armour Living Lightning Jaws of the World Wolf Rune Priest Bolt Pistol Force Axe Runic Armour Murdrous Huricane Jaws of the World Wolf Bjorn the Fell Handed Plasma Cannon 10xGrey Hunters Bolt Pistol Close Combat Weapon Bolt Gun Mark of the Wulfen 2xFlamer Rhino Extra Armour 10xGrey Hunters Bolt Pistol Close Combat Weapon Bolt Gun Mark of the Wulfen 2xPlasma Gun Rhino Extra Armour 10xGrey Hunters Bolt Pistol Close Combat Weapon Bolt Gun Mark of the Wulfen 2xPlasma Gun 6xGrey Hunters Bolt Pistol Close Combat Weapon Bolt Gun Mark of the Wulfen Melta Gun Razorback Lascannon/Twin Linked Plama Gun Dreadnought Extra Armour Missile Launcher Twin Linked Heavy Bolter Venerable Dreadnought Extra Armour Heavy Flamer Wolf Tooth Necklace 6xLong Fangs Bolt Pistol Close Combat Weapon 5xMissile Launcher Vindicator Extra Armour Vindicator Extra Armour 2500 on the nose...although I'd like to find 20 points in there for some fenrisian wolves for my lord (yay ablative wounds) and would prefer to have some power fists in the squads, could drop the venerable down to a regular dread, will give it some thought...but hey-ho will see how it runs ;) ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2269284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 As the seraphim I'musing for his army are also my LPC submission I've put a thread for them in the WiP section which can be found here. Will be looking to get these converted up (along with my techmarine/ironpriest and wolf guard) this evening and then the greenstuff work done on wednesday/friday. ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186527-winter-wolf-war/#findComment-2269519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
