Back for the Attack - Redoing the wolves!

Well I am back after a hiatus! 

Work/life/stress/money was keeping me away from updating this.

I think also I was a bit annoyed at my army, I wasn't playing or painting.

I have decided to redo my space wolves entirely into something a bit more interesting and original.

So I decided I would make them 'Rune Wolves' after totally falling in love with the Rune Priests in Prospero Burns.

So they all have bare heads, a lot have wolf pelts and cloaks lots of skulls/chains/tokens hanging off them, and most importantly a large amount of them have cloaked legs. I have used Dark Angel legs (yes I know it's practically heresy considering how much they hate each other ahahah!) I am really liking how they look.

Colour wise I am going for a purpley dark blue metallic, sort of Nightlords but not. The robes will be bone colour and there will be lots of bronze and gold trims.

Here is a test model, not 100% right but heading in the right direction.

 

 

Another reason I haven't been doing much warhammer is I have been painting a few things that are not warhammer. A friend and I have been having a little competition where we both buy the same model and then we paint it how we like and see what we end up with.

The most recent are these Moon Worms from Schell Studio, I love all this guys work.

Check it out on his site

 These busts are actually 12 inches high!

Mine is the left one

 Two more little things to talk about

1. I played space hulk for the first time! It was stressful, of course I chose marines hahaha!

    Playing a game with times turns was very hard!

2. I got a new tattoo! It was drawn from scratch by my friend Paul Abstruse who is a published comic book artist, he also tattooed it. Ironman is from my hip to my knee on my left thigh. I love it and I can't wait to get it coloured in two weeks Wooooooooooo!

Ironman thigh!

40k in 40 mins!

So our friday night games club has been doing 40k in 40mins. I totally love this as I really get into playing small and fast. (it's also a bit easier strategically for a newb like me with less everything to worry about)

My first round was against stupid plauge marines! I HATE THEM.

My last surviving model, good Old mark of the wulfen!

Next game was against space wolves, so I didn't mind loosing. It was my first time playing against lone wolves, I have never fielded them before either so it was interesting, they are cool!
Alex and I had similar lists but he had more Long fangs hahaha!

The yellow guys are Alexs, there are more of them hahaha!

My Standard Bearer FOR RUSS!

My last game was against Grey knights, I lost but turned out his list wasn't legal. Also my log fangs couldn't kill any of the Terminators but one died from a bolter shot HAHAHAHAHA!

Surrounded by plauge! :o
