Woot - Saturday gaming and Space Wolves

Got to get a game in today.  Timothy provided a rather stout Noise Marine army list, but the changes I made to the Ork list made a ton of improvements to the playability of the greenskins.  Large units are great except they are unruly and hard to maneuver.  Switched to 12 man units and this helped as it allowed me to better spread out my troops to either react of hunt down objectives.  The Psyker didn't do much, but I think i under played him. warboss and nobz with a painboy is just broken.......

So anywhoo - After the game Timothy and I talked about our proposed trade deal and realizing the volume of what I had laying around for Chaos Marines, we brokered a better deal for me.  1 truck and 1 wolf pack box for the 10 man Chaos Squad, Possessed, 3-5 spawn, and a partially Defiler - oh yeah and all of the chaos bits I had laying around.  Plus the partially painted lord I worked on last year and never finished.  A good deal for him, but good for me too.

Had already put together the list I wanted to play, but decided to change it up a bit as I was not too hot on the drop pods idea.  I chose, instead to field only 1 Grey Hunters pack, and was able to build the Wolf Lord with Wolf Claws and the 10 man unit of Grey Hunters out of what I had.  Took the partially painted Rhino that I had laying around and painted it up for my soon to be Wolves Army.

Here is my Wolf Lord - Bjorn Russvik

I stuck with a grey color scheme instead of a Shadow grey color scheme like the other wolves I have seen.  I used Iron Hull Grey (P3) as the base.

Used a mix of standard Marine parts (legs and from of torso), old school Wolves kit (Backpack and torso back), and new Wolves kit (arms, should pad, belt device and helm)

The new kit came with this killer helm. There are 2 of them in the New Wolves Kit.  Seeing as I need 3 more wolf pack boxes to complete the army, I am going to hang onto the rest to make an IronWolf Guard unit for larger games down the road.

Interested to see how this list will play out.  Not a lot of flavor, other than a Space Wolf Armored Spearhead, but hey, It'll hit like a hammer
