CatSmasher Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hello gents, Trying to practice posting pictures before I make a vow. Thought I would also ask for some help putting together a 500pts list for a campaign I signed up for at a game shop that I went to after being prompted by the Brothers. I am nervous though because I don't have much experience, but I let the organizer know and they have set me up with two guys who seemed interested in helping a new player. I have two 500pt challenges over the next two weeks. Here is my army so far, I attempted to build a gallery as well, tell me what you think, and how I should run these against a tau or a Dark Angels army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looks good brother, I'm not much help on the gaming side but you should sign up for the ETL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3674389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 If I would do a 500 list, it would look like something like this.  1 rune priest 2 grey hunter squads one with a drop pod, 1 long fang missile launcher squad  Fairly all-rounder . I am building it from what I can see you have.  /C Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3674409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatSmasher Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have some termies that are unpainted and an old njal model not shown. I have some thunderwolf in the box, but they are for later when i have the courage/tools to build them.

Fytharin Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Knowing how recently you just started, those look amazing brother. You've done a lot in a very little amount of time. Looking forward to seeing your future projects.

CatSmasher Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have become a bit obsessed lately. I really want to get better at it, and I find the painting process very cathartic.

Fytharin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I agree with Mactire, make sure you get yourself in the ETL brother. At the rate you're going you could help us win single handedly. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3674826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatSmasher Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Here is my updated Army. I have been working my butt off lately, and am close to being able to field 2000pts or so now, with a bit more armour than before. C&C welcome, as well as any other tips or suggestions.

Kasper_Hawser Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Holy hell! You managed to do so much in less than a month? I started 4 months ago and I've barely reached 750 points. Well done! Â Anyway, in the one game I managed to win (out of 5), I used Rune Priest, leading a tooled up Grey Hunter pack with everything (wulfen, banner, powerfist, melta) in a Rhino, as well as a smaller pack of 6 with plasma, with a lasplas razorback. The lasplas was my backup heavy support and actually managed to blow up a soul grinder in first round: LASCANNON FOR THE WIN! Of course, this was still in sixth edition but still, enabled me to do something against his heavy support.

CatSmasher Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 I have been having great fun and success with my wolves so far. I have won 3 of 4 in the campaign I am involved in. I lost my last game due to some questionable rules interpretation. I was playing some plague marines (with zombies, helbrute, maulerfiend, and plague marines) The guy I played ( a bit of a strange dude) was very finicky on the rules. Â I am new to the scene and was basically just taking what he said as gospel. He wouldn't let me deny with my wolf tails, and insisted that blast weapons were not effected by prescience. He also changed the game type at the end of the game from scouring to something else since we had no "fast attack," which gave him the win because he held the centre objective. (objective went from 1 pt to 3). I really want to win at everything I do, but I don't want to be confrontational, and I want to be seen as a fun guy to play with so I didn't make a stink. Â I know I've said this before, but a big thank you to this community for supporting my hobby, and for all of the stuff I have learned from you guys.

Kasper_Hawser Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Vlka Fenryka for the win! For the Rout, the Aett, and all the hot looking Fenrisian ladies waiting for a visit from the sky gods after a long bloody campaign. :P LOL, I think the Rune and Wolf Priests are about to visit me to check if I got tainted by Slaanesh while visiting 1d4chan.  Hope you can share your experiences of your wins with us Catsmasher. No need super detailed battle reports, but there's few victories reported by the sons of Russ as it is now.

DanPesci Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Â Â I am new to the scene and was basically just taking what he said as gospel.

Â Â Â Wait what..he changed the game type at the end of the game??? Hhaha wow. Good for you for being such a good sport about it, im in the same boat as you in that i play for fun, and dont like to get confrontational over gribbly rule interpretations, but changing what you are fighting over at the end of the game so he wins is ridiculous. (the blast weapon and wolf tail things are bad enough as they are - unless they changed how blast and prescience works in 7th?). Â Anyway, congrats on your 3 out of 4 wins, and on getting a vast amount painted in a short amount of time, ive had about 800 points of models sat about since december unpainted :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3722558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulder Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 yeah you got 4/4 on moral wins tbh. Pretty sure that prescience is same as normal re-roll for blasts too as it is a failed to hit. Current FAQ on wolf tails is as it reads I think, you can actually use this as well as deny the witch but ofc it needs to be used if you are targeted. I'd be inclined to make sure I check the rules any time that someone tells you that your army cannot use a specific piece of wargear. If for nothing else then just so that I understand the rules better and know how to get the most out of my army. Also I think that most ppl would never complain if you said you just wanted to check the rules on something, it is very difficult to know everything and you would be surprised how often ppl misinterpret the rules (self especially).

CatSmasher Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Here are my latest additions. CnC welcome. Vindicator, with an airbrush, my favourite creation so far here are the other thunder wolves, I tried magnets for the first time with mixed results, learned a lot though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3726326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I LOVE your Thunderwolves, the paint job is amazing, Flesh tones, highlights and fur are perfect! Â The vindicator is looking great too, in fact your paintwork overall is stellar! Â But these are a step up on what you have done previously Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290597-my-army-so-far-picture-test/#findComment-3726402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatSmasher Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I had a lot of help and direction from a friend, as well as the owner of a local FGS, Â who supplied the airbrush. The highlights are a bit blotchy on the vindicator, and I regret not taping the hazard lines since they came out crooked. Â I am happy with them, Â but my next pack of fen wolves is better I feel, and I will post those soon.
