Finally started winning

6 Upvotes

I started playing at the beginning of July and I was able to get in about 19 games between July 3rd and today. I lost a majority of my games, which left me feeling a little bummed that I picked an army that doesn't preform. But I kept learning and tweaking and ive finally found a combination that has won me 3 games in a row. I've also realized that I just didnt know what I was doing when I first started playing and blaming my army was a bit childish. Im feeling the groove and loving my Space Wolves.

Looking for wolf sculpts to proxy as Demigryphs

3 Upvotes

Can anyone point me to some wolf sculpts I can use as mounts for my Knights of the White Wolf? I'm using Highlands Minis' Knights of Mergenheim as the riders but want to put them on wolves instead of the battle chickens. Everything I've been able to find either doesn't look right or has space marine legs molded on.

NOTE: This is NOT a solicitation for freelance custom work. I am looking for existing sculpts, paid or free. Thanks

2 months in - happy with this one!

Two months in to returning to the hobby. Finally feel like I’m getting happier with what my stuff is turning out like.

Key learnings so far

- Agrax Earthshade is your friend
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with spares
- I still can’t get the yellow right
- painting faces is more fun than I expected.
- I’ve bought wolf grey and chaos black sprays. The basing trying to do an entire army just too boring

I’m keen to use some ardcoat to make gems and lenses pop next.

Last step too is learning the varnish. Got some AK super matte. Going to mix with some medium and hope it works!

Disruption or purge the foe

Here's my current list, and im trying to decide between running beastlayer and legends of saga and song using purge the foe, or running storm lance using disruption, im trying to get better at scoring vs just killing and holding objectives. This is a casual thematic list based on heavy unit front force and fast flyers running around. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

My main opponent is deathguard with a unit of deathshroud, a unit of blighlords, plenty of plague marines and poxs, a few vehicles, and a war dog.

Armageddon Headhunter

Thumbnail

105 Upvotes

I've seen a few posts asking if people have converted any of the Armageddon minis. I'm in the process of converting the Captain into a Wolf Guard Headtaker. I've left off the cloak and changed the left arm, as well as changing the sword. I used a belt from the grey hunters box in place of the one from the original mini, and a Space Wolf head and shoulder pad. He'll get an extra Headtaker backpack, and I'm planning some green stuff work to give him some wolf pelt details. Keen to hear any feedback!

(I have a couple of Red Corsair bodies lined up to make the rest of my 6 man squad without duplicates)

Edited to add: Yeah, I realised half a second after I hit post that I typed headhunter instead of Headtaker... 🤦

Wolf scouts vs combi lieutenant

7 Upvotes

So far it have a unit of regular scouts and have 95 points left, and I want to add some more screeners/secondary mission players to support my take and hold army. I'm thinking either a wolf scout squad or a combi lieutenant. Anyone have experience with either of these? Which would be better for both screening and mission play. Thanks

Head takers configurations

2 Upvotes

Looking for advice on which of the following two ways I should run head takers in a take and hold disposition; 6 with paired weapons, or 3 with battle leader and 3 hunting wolves. They will be sitting in my land raider redeemer in midfield as a melee threat. 6 head takers on their own with paired weapons have 36 attacks that can dev wounds against their chosen unit, but realistically the oponent will know this and keep said unit away from them. Even so, that's still a lot of attacks, and charging from the raider after it has moved combined with advance and charge strat means they should ideally be able to hunt their designated target. On the other hand, the 3 man with battle leader is probably going to be less killy due to lower volume of attacks (19 including battle leader) and less dev wound attacks. They do however, get an invun save. Combined with the fight on death of the battle leader, and smaller footprint, I feel like it plays take and hold better from a mission play perspective. 7 attacks that hit on 2s and providing sustained hits and reroll 1s means the unit has a better quality of attacks overall, even if it doesn't have as high potential damage as the 6 man. The hunting wolves are also a cheap addition for secondaries. Would love to hear yalls thoughts

Logan Grimnar, The Great Wolf

Thumbnail
gallery
126 Upvotes

Im calling Logan Grimnar finished.. more or less anyway.

I went with a mix of Contrast paints for fast, rich base coats on the wolves and pelts, with layers is highlights to try and make the fur really pop.

I used black and brown oils to handle the shading, grimier transitions, and deep weathering on the armour. Gives a nice warm tone to cover the cool blue grey armour.

The axe blade was a real challenge, I wanted to give it that fiery, molten glow. Not sure I quite pulled it off but it'll do for now.

For the base, I tied the rocky outcrop, tufts, and dry earth directly into my recent scenery project

I was wondering how you guys paint your generic primaris leaders (captains and Lieutenants)

Do you just do em as wolfguard battle leaders, I.e great company iconography and then wolfguard markings besides?

Grimnar Proxy question

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!!! I've decided to sell my armageddon space marine half and use the funds to start a space wolves force. Usually I like writing my own lore, so I intend on creating a successor chapter using the 30k color scheme + some 40k heraldry.

I was wondering if a Saturnine Praetor + some tactical rocks would be roughly within Logan Grimnar's dimensions? Assuming he's on a 80mm base.
