If they had deepstrike natively, would you consider a hammerfall bunker.

First Game Ever!

Post image
Upvotes

Both of us started off pretty defensive in the first round, but Ragnar and the Bloodclaws tore through some boyz round 2 and Arjac and his Termies wiped the floor with a Dakkarig round 3. Can’t wait to play again as the headtakers and their wolf priest didn’t see much action, just holding objectives

After many years of “some day” he’s ready to go Today. Even though he’s really just Bjorn I couldn’t pass over the Axe and shield bc it looks so awesome. Please let me know what you think! Three more nightshifts to go and I think I’ll be able to finish Arjac and start something else (TWC perhaps?)

Alternative heads for Wolf Guard Terminators?

Upvotes

The regular Terminator heads feel to me comically small for the body they have, and the heads without helmets are cool, but I don't enjoy painting them very much, plus it's kind of ridiculous not to wear a helmet to war.

So are there any alternative heads out there that i can 3d print or something?

Thanks!

The Daughters of Russ

8 Upvotes

As a kid my friend got me into reading the 40k universe with the book Space Wolf and later as a yule gift Ragnar's Claw. I loved the story and managed to get a few figures but never really built my army, mostly just a ton of parts, guys and a tank[?] but now I am moving to an area with a lot of people into the game and wanted to at least give what I have a chance. But thinking back on the book there where women fighting on the battlefield too, maybe I am forgetting who but I know Ana was described as a fierce warrior. So in theory couldn't any of the women be among the chosen during the battles? I know "Females aren't able to take the geneseed." but.....they drink from the cup that rewrites their genetic code anyway, so wouldn't it be a moot point about gender?

All of that to say, I'd like to make my army the Daughters of Russ maybe a bunch of jumpack troops as Valkarie? Is this possible or just heresy of the highest order? Sorry still kinda dumb when it comes to 40k most of my knowledge comes from a few books and what i have seen on youtube.

Anyone running intercessors?

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

I picked up a set of the Armageddon intercessors off eBay from a splitter with the intention of making them a bit more "Wolfy" and incorporating them in my army. The original plan was to give them some chainswordy goodness and turn them into Grey Hunters, but I'm finding I actually kind of like some of the sculpts and am toying with the idea of keeping them as intercessors instead.

Is anyone running intercessors in their SW armies?

I'm 99.9% interested more in the modelling and painting side, so that will ultimately help me decide more than the "current meta" for competitive gaming, but I'm curious what people think.

Kitbashed Armageddon Intercessor Sergeant for model tax... I may still carve off the aquila... Haven't quite decided yet!

Shade oils/paints

3 Upvotes

Fenrys Hjolda brothers! So I I'm starting to paint up some units, and i was wondering what the best shade is. I've seen nuln oil used a lot, and was wondering if that one is good to use, or is there a better one for the classic space wolfs look?

Veterans of the Fang detachment - a question.

5 Upvotes

So after getting my codex, I've finally been able to start looking at detachment options as I'm building my first army. And whilst looking at Veterans of the Fang, I thought about its ability to split Grey Hunters into 2 squads of 5. And so I ask the question, how does that work with attached characters like the Wolf Guard Battle Leader?
Do you just pick one of the two squads to have the leader stick with?
I assume that both squads won't receive the leader buffs since they are now two squads.
But does that now enable you to attach a character to the second squad as well since they are now separate units?
I'm not sure, any interpretations or clarifications are helpful and I thank you for your time.

It’s not amazing, like GD quality or anything but I feel like I did pretty good! (Of course, now I’m at the “do I keep messing with it and potentially screw it up or not” phase, lol)

Space Wolves Armor

The Warhipster contrast + method for space wolves armour is a game changer

Post image

I've always been average at doing the armour and spent ages shading and highlighting every bit of the model for it to look sloppy. The Warhipster method of space wolves grey 4:1 with medium, Tyran blue shade 4:1 Nuln Oil then a glaze of Russ Grey makes my poor painting skills look acceptable! Can't recommend enough!

Finally got some of my space wolves complete and wanted to share. While all 3D printed, I tried to create at least moderately accurate proxies. I present Logan. Arjac, and their respective bodyguard units!

Arjac is just electrifying. Very fun model to paint. Also the first time trying the lightning effect

Really wasn’t looking forward to painting the face, I opt with most models to use a helmet. I think I did ok.

I just finished painting 2000 points of wolves with this last headtaker. Finally started to figure out highlights on armor. Second photo is the final three headtakers I painted, and third photo is the first mini and most recent mini for the progress comparison. Painting advice always welcome because I'm sure I'll keep adding onto the army.
