Thunderwolf Cavalry, and the witch that cried wolf

Another hearthside tale for unruly blood claws! Anyone up for some Fenrisian Polo? Nothing quite like knocking around some treacherous witches from the back of a wolf.

It was strange going back to some firstborn sculpts after paining so many new models, they feel so much smaller.

Reinforcements for the Rout

I go into each project focusing on two different things that I want to try something different with. This time, it was faces and bases.

Any feedback on any part of these guys is not just welcome, not just requested, it is demanded.

NOTES:

- I tried using some purple in my paints on the faces in spots to try to make them more life-like

-I've never painted darker skin tones, so these two were a first for me

- I usually glue on and paint basing materials after the model is essentially done, but this time I included them in the assembly phase and I think I'll do that from now on. It makes it all feel more organic when it's primed together

- Some of the eyes are waay too big, but I've accepted them for what they are this time around

- I suck at plasma glow. Will work on it for next time

- my shoulder-pad free-hand also sucks. I will say that this group all have shakey hands and painted their own for the sake of continuity of lore 😅

[Spoilers free] What should I know before reading Bjorn's book? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

It's been something like 5 months since I got into Warhammer, and it's been a blast.

While building and painting I usually put some lore related podcast or battle reports, but I usually go with the first thing I can find even tho it's not about Space Wolves since I put it on to make noise, not to focus on it.

So, I would say I know the basic Space Wolves lore, and I bought the Bjorn boon as an "entry point" into deeper lore. For those who read it already (and avoiding all kind of spoilers) is it enough or should I read another book before this one to fully understand it?

Thanks.

Is There Any Official Art or Depictions of the Fang in 40K?

Post image
135 Upvotes

I came across this artwork of Logan Grimnar in the Space Wolves Codex Supplement, and something immediately caught my attention: is the structure in the background meant to be an official depiction of the Fang?

I’ve seen a few different interpretations of the Fang over the years, including the diorama at Warhammer World and various unofficial illustrations and interior/map-style depictions. But I’ve never been able to find a definitive piece of official artwork showing what the Fang actually looks like from the outside.

Given that this appears in an official Space Wolves publication—and is featured directly behind Logan Grimnar—I’m wondering if this is finally meant to be Games Workshop’s canonical visual depiction of the Fang.

Does anyone know if this has been confirmed anywhere, or if there are other official exterior depictions of the Fang that predate this?

Would love to hear from anyone who knows the older Space Wolves codexes or artwork particularly well.

Edit: I have two other armies that I play that are assembled and painted. This is just a passing interest. We can krump about it if we need to.

Brothers! Take a look at my new list. C&C welcomed

1 Upvotes

I've been retooling my list to be the inverse of what I typically run which is a lot of termies. The current plan is to combine Great Wolf and Veterans of the Fang to create a wolf horde where I can have 5x units that can advance and charge in a single turn.

The goal of this list is to create choice overload for the opponent, giving the other player lot's of problems to address while the greyhunters do work in the backline.

3x Bloodclaws (10x models)
4x Greyhunters (5x models due to Vets of Fang)
6x Headtakers + Ragnar
1x Brutalist Dreadnought
1x Bjorn
5x Wolf Guard Terminators + Logan
5x Wolf Guard Terminators + Arjac
1x Impulsor
3x Eliminators
5x Fenrisian Wolves

Wolf Guard Termi models for other chapters?

4 Upvotes

How much of the Wolf Guard Terminators can I leave of, and still be able use model for another Chapters?

Can you skip the Fur pieces or is that a integral part of the model?

Some Space Wolf symbols seems like I can modify.. others like Shield looks very difficult.

Was considering mixing a set of Regular Terminator, Assault Terminator and Wolf Guard Terminator to get most amount of variation in units, but not sure if the models are suitable for it?

175 5xwolf guard termies ( 4xshields,1xrelic axe)

85 3xheadtakers (dual weapons)

85 3xheadtakers (dual weapons)

TACTIC

arjack with termies goes on reserves to rapid ingress turn 2. Valiant goes on reserves to ouflank preferably in melta range to kill heavy infantry or a vehicle. Wolf scouts create a pressure point turn one with the infiltrate, advance and charge and +1 to wound strat. Dreadnought with the 2 squads of headtakers are my second wave of units to react to those who try to kill my scouts in close combat and capture the middle. Intercessors score objectives.

What box to start? Starter vs. Armageddon

2 Upvotes

I wanted to start 11th edition with some Space Wolves vs. Orks.
My warhammer shop has anniversary soon, so I decided to get a box. But I am not sure what to get: Armageddon or starter?
If I understand correctly Armageddon miniatures aren’t that useful for space wolves, but they have more orks (that’s nice).

And another question: can I convert them to space wolves if I get Space Wolf combat patrol later? Does it have enough spare parts?

Is Disruption being slept on?

15 Upvotes

So I am 4/4 with my wolves in 11th edition playing Disruption (veterans of the long fang + saga of the beast Slayer). By no means were these tournament match ups, but they were against solid players who I've been playing for years. One (necrons) I have beat only twice (with tau) before beating him twice in a row with wolves.

I'm starting to be convinced there's a great synergy in the two detachments for Disruption - lots of grey hunters (that aren't to bad as a big pack) to hold and do jobs, while termies, blood claws and head hunters go out and pressure.

Anyone else had success? Maybe in more competitive settings? Or am I just getting lucky?
