The Marked Wulf Crusade : 8th Edition Battles

Excellent work. By the way, is the Freeblade Knight's howling wolf emblem that of his Knightly House, a personal emblem, or an honor marking for fighting beside the Space Wolves?

[Lord Blackwood]

Just beautiful. Is Celestine's face going to get further work?

I wanted to do some glowing eyes , Im not terribly confident with my work on  faces though , hers is extremely tiny and behind her bangs  so ... .maybe is probably the best answer for that. 

 

Thank you for the compliment !

Its a mark of being Wolfsworn   and serving alongside the Space Wolves and  Black Templars  of the Marked Wulf Crusade  

The kill markers are actually  accurate kills on armored targets from  the games he has participated in though.

Today I put together and primed Predator #7  at Hondas orders 6 was insufficent so I  will be shooting  to have 9 Preds finished by the midway part of the year. 



I  also primed some little sisters , who will be forming the core of the order that my living saint is part of  the ones who are all buddied up to my crusade. 


waiting on everything to dry so I can get started  with some base colors tonight maybe.

So I got a lot done today , Including some shorts at the store when my opponent couldnt make it down  U n U  

 

I got the sisters I  was working on finished up and matching my living Saint 

 

Then since I couldnt get a game  due to a cancellation  ( and then found out that time wouldn't have allowed me to play anyway despite another opponent showing up.  I  set up and took a bunch of photos

Your Sisters look GREAT in silver armor. I must compliment the Sicaran as well.

It is an excellent looking force. I can not help but when seeing the distressed yellow, to immediately think "Scouring Era". I know you have another story line going on, but it really does jump out at me.

 

And I really like the distressed yellow.

Wow. Every post keeps blowing me away- keep up the amazing work!

The Knights of the Marked Wulf Crusade and their House Blackwood Allies took on  the Forces of Chaos Tonight in a 100 Power Level Game 
 
Mission :Deadlock
Deployment:Search and Destroy
Result : 23-5 Victory  

Heres just some random shots of the game , nothing particularly in sequence

Imperial Objectives


Some Notes

Predators are fantastic 
Contemptors can do a lot of work , especially with their very long move pre damage 

The  Forgeworld Knights are very interesting , the Lancer was down to 11 wounds but it sure as hell tanked a lot during that game. 

Knights have armor saves , so while you only have a 5+ invul if your getting hit by -1 stuff and small arms you have a 3+ armor or a 4+ armor at -1 this is stuff I forgot about. 

The Lancer having a 4+ in close combat is legit. 

The Castigators sword may very well be one of the best knight weapons with Mortal Wounds on 6s. 

Intercessors are fantastic at sitting on objectives  , their bolt rifles are....meh  admittedly , but they are good at sitting on something and clearing chaff from a respectable range away. 

Las cannons ... load up on las cannons , they are terrifying. 

The Vindicator is largely Meh , I think if your gonna take one you ought to take a Laser Vindicator from forgeworld despite being a relic is very solid. 

Death Guard feel no pain is great. 

Rhinos are remarkably Effective.

Blight drones are annoying.

I guess the results just prove that "Painted" > "Unpainted"

 

I truly do love the look of your army and desaturated yellow. Your Primaris look especially nice and the Predators are wicked looking.

 

Thank you for sharing.
