red_starrise Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Greetings wolf brothers. Having returned to 40k after a 4 year hiatus I built a 4k point Apocalypse worthy Imperial Fists army. But, I have returned to my original 40k army. Back when I was 10 & 2nd Ed was going strong, my best friend & I went halves on the starter box, he took Orks, I took Marines. After playing around w/ those 20 tac boys I got bored, lo & behold for my 11th bday my father bought me the Space Wolves army box. Ahh, a heavy box loaded w/ enough metal to overload an airport security station. It had Bjorn, Njal, Ragnar, Ulrik, 10 Grey Hunters, 10 Blood Claws, 5 Long Fangs, 5 scouts, a scout sgt & a lone wolf guard at 2000 pts. I spent many a great hour crushing my friends Orks w/ that army. But, alas, 3rd Ed came around & I lost interest as my beloved wolves models were now mostly all illegal, so I sold them off & went w/ Mordheim & then IG for most of 3rd/early 4th. I did build up 5k pts in IG, SW, IF & IW before getting a divorce & losing it all. So, here I am, returning as a humble battered veteran to raise a new battle force w/ which to take the fight to those enemies of the All-Father. I'll post pics tonite of what I have so far, but when I say ground up, I mean it. Here's what I'm starting w/: SW Battleforce SW Wolf Guard Termies SM Venerable Dread 2x Rhinos Whirlwind 5x standard terminator bodies & legs 2x SW acc sprues Devastator Squad SW codex bitzbox w/ easily another 50+ marines in pieces, 4 fenris wolves from heroclix to use as thunder wolves, jump packs, grey knight termie weapons, etc <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233317-my-blood-wolves-warhost/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_starrise Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I don't personally subscribe to Blood Wolves being Chaos tainted but that's just me. Hard to believe after 18 years I'm STILL in this hobby lol. Here's my first WIP models: Rune Priest in Termie armor http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Wolves/CIMG4820.jpg Dreadnought (venerable sometimes lol) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Wolves/CIMG4825.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Wolves/CIMG4824.jpg Lastly, my wolf scouts WGPL w/ combi-plasma & powerfist http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Wolves/CIMG4822.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233317-my-blood-wolves-warhost/#findComment-2808483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provocation Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Love the dread with the wolfhead helmet. Also the head from the venerable dreadnought on the wolf priest. I have one of my wolf guard with the same head to give the old school look. Good luck with the painting. Should look awesome with a coat of paint.

tauyippiejoy Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Welcome back to the fang! I like your models and although I'm not an expert in any way it looks like you've got a fun list to start out with! I'll keep my old eyes on your thread to see those fine examples of Fenris best painted up!

red_starrise Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks to all who have responded so far. I had a question... After running the #s I've found that I've got enough pts for 10 blood claws w/ no wargear (not that they REALLY need it much) -OR- 5 skyclaws w/ one mark of the wulfen & wolf guard I was thinking that if I drop the whirlwind & a long fang w/ missile I'd have the points for a wolf priest bog standard to add to the blood claws.

Levitas Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Models look really cool, and welcome back! I did see that a guy on the GW site did a beautiful Blood Wolves force. Combined bits from the chaos and wolf range and tainted them in an amazing beaten copper ruddy red tone. They are how ever obviously traitor, but a really cool looking army. Check it out. Hopefully yours will stay loyal :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233317-my-blood-wolves-warhost/#findComment-2811067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 where are the shoulder guards on your Wolf Lord From? They're the shin guards from a venerable dread, actually. They really make him stand out when surrounded by his wolf guard as not just another terminator. Thanks again for all your comments guys. I'll be priming tonite after I trim mold lines & flash. I want my wolves to be at least able to play by sat as I have a game against some Orks then & I'd like to try my wolves out against them as my IF are undefeated against them thus far.

He's also got GK termie arms & I'm working on a Chooser of the Slain based using the CAT as a base :yes: I don't have any update pics today, despite my promise, I'm also working on scratchuilding a warhound & caestus assault ram to accompany my IF for an Apoc game we have on the 30th.

Forté Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Really, really good but I have one tiny, minute (please don't hate me) pointer.....drill out your gun barrels. Looks so much better once done.

red_starrise Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 One's barrel is already drilled out, came that way in a trade. The other's is not & won't be til I can get a hold of a drill bit smaller than 1/16" which is about right for bolters & stormbolters but too big for bolt pistols sadly.
