So i scrapped the army i was building up since 2011 and ended up going for something more... wolfy this time.


Still a work in progress. And the bareheaded figures still have the heads in just black primer since i'm still too scared to attempt to paint the fleshtones, eyes, teeth and hair.

Awesome details! Especially the gold! I Believe a little enamel wash and it'd be perfect!

That looks really... expensive. Awesome job.

Those marines are starting to look like skylander figures.

It's really refreshing to see a Space Wolf army that doesn't depend on a Loganwing / LFML build. Just a few questions though, since this list of your is pretty unique from the others I have played against:

1. Since most power weapons are now AP3, why use a power sword in one of your GH packs instead of a power fist or a power axe like the other two.
2. Why mix a melta gun and a plasma gun in a squad? Since Space Wolves don't use the Combat Squads rule, wouldn't that cause a problem with keeping the units together since the two special weapons have different ranges?
3. What HQ choices are you using for your FOC? With that 15-man BC pack, I will assume that you have a WP and an LR for them but what about the GH and LF packs? Are you going the typical RP route with JOTWW/MH or an IC?

Fox asked to reply for him since he isn't in the mood to read any posts here in RR right now since he's still in mourning because of his books. I relayed your posts here to him via Facebook BTW.

He wants to confirm if you play WH40k as well and what army you use.

I first fielded Grey Knights when I first started playing WH40k in 2003. I ditched them when 5E rolled in and the goddamned Spiritual Liege butchered their fluff and introduced an entire set of retarded rules for them. I sold off the entire lot to a friend then started collecting an Imperial Guard army ever since then. Right now, I can field a 10k-pt combined-arms battalion with Baneblades, Shadowswords, Leman Russes, Vendettas and enough platoons to cover a living room carpet.

first time to build a kotobukiya model. found the plastic a bit harder than bandai so there were a lot of bad cuts >.<
the unit has really good balance and design is really nice. extremely fragile tho due to the amount of moveable parts.
the design reminds me of the nephtis from zone of the enders XD

@Skreija
Ten thousand points? Jesus, man, that's an Apocalypse-sized army already. The most that i've ever fought against was only two thousand points and that was a Tyranid army. I only came into the hobby because of the modelling aspect and i've only been playing for a few months so i'm still learning.

As per your questions. All the power weapons in my Gray Hunter packs are tacked on using weak glue so that i can swap them out depending on what i'll be facing. I have three power axes, four power fists and two power swords. I mostly use that power sword against low Initiative units and it's worked for me so far. For the plasmagun and meltagun-equipped squad, it originally had two plasmaguns but then i realized that none of my Gray Hunters had any anti-armor weapons so i replaced one of the plasmaguns with a meltagun. That's the squad that i usually send out as harassers while the other two are used for camping on objectives.

For the HQ choices, i have multiple choices in my army. Lord Blackmane as the overall warlord, a Wolf Priest for the Claw units and two Rune Priests to support the Hunters and Fangs. The usual pointage in local games here is a thousand and a half so i just usually run my army with one of the Rune Priests in Runic Armor, a wolftooth necklace and Jaws of the World Wolf/Living Lightning. For now, the entire army just footslogs as i haven't bought any Rhinos or Razorbacks yet.

First taste of a Koto kit eh? I like the mech's design. Reminds me of the Gerbera Tetra.

The white circles on either side of the chest are good for capturing the eye.

Pang shinki nga daw eh.

May plano pa ba tayong ituloy yung MS Girl or AC Girl na matagal na nating pinapag-usapan?

Sabi ko nga kay Zeke, AC na lang para magawa kong AC girl eh.

San tayo dadampot ng girl na gagamitin natin?
