Space Wolves More Lovin'
Wrapping up everything tonight. Have a couple more spots to touch up (face highlights, bases, some lenses, tracks etc) but for the most part they are ready to go.
I have to admit; two weekends ago while playing a 1500pt game. I unloaded my terminators on the field (droppod), and the Heavy Flamer model was just primed... Ben and Joe both said, "Whoa, you actually putting something on the field that's not painted". It was absolutely hilarious. BUT, it did get me thinking how much I have neglected my Space Wolves for the last three to four weeks. I was fielding my Black Templar Rhino for the last few games, on loaner from my favorite zealots ;-)

Spearhead Expansion Free and StormRaven
So Gamesworkshop has released the Spearhead expansion via FREE PDF download on their site. I browsed the rules, and it's pretty decent if you want something different. Thou, obviously you have to have some spare tanks on hand. Apparently Rhino's don't count :-)
So I picked up the new White Dwarf, which of course is a Blood Angels lovefest with the new releases. I didn't mind so much, as I was tired of passing up the mag due to excessive LotR and Fantasy material.
This brings me to the StormRaven(sp). I have the BA codex, and I'm reading the White Dwarf which touts this flyer as the AwesomeSauce, bristling with missiles of Uberness, Hurricane Bolters, Melta, Ass Cannons, and Pumpkin Cannon. Carries a boatton of guys AND a dread into combat... is an Assault Vehicle, so unload, smash face .. (unlike Droppod.. unload, get shot to peices, get assaulted, think of creative ways to melt said Droppod into a peice of artwork for the mantle)...
So all this uberness is 200pts... .. I'm a noob of epic 40k proportions, but am I the only one that realizes that the Blood Angels TechMarines used spare boltershell packing cardboard to armor this thing?
Essentially your paying gobs of points, for a flying assault rhino with weapons... and in my experience, rhino's and razorbacks don't last long. Oh and it costs a small fortune.
Am I that noobish, or is GW a bit out of touch. Personally, if I drank the noob GW Koolaid, ran out and purchased this expensive Rhino of flying Epicsauce... I'd be pretty pissed to see all that $$$ and time, and the squad inside .. go poof to a Krak Missile or stray Las shot... who am I kidding, no shots will be stray. With lists that have Long Fangs and 12-15 Missile Launchers, I see the StormRaven as a permanent flaming fixture of the Blood Angels army, to toast marshmellows over by turn two and sing Kumbaya.

Space Wolves Get Some Love
I've finished all the "Tale of One Gamer (1G)" 500pt armies for next Monday.. *whew*. So I've eagerly put myself to work on my beloved wolfies with the little time I have available.
Needed to knock out some vehicles and some Troops. I don't like fielding unpainted models, and have been for two weeks now. Hopefully this Saturday all will be completed.
If I can get all this completed by Saturday, it will complete my entire 1G Space Wolves till final due date; 1850pts.
Knocking out all of these various figs and models over the last few months has left me with a pile of boxes, and an absolutely ridiculous amount of sprues!
Feels good to be building on my core army again, still have to figure out which 1G armies will get the eBay axe when I'm completed.
 |
| Rhino, Rhino, Drop Pod, RazorBack, Long Fangs, Terminator Heavy Flamer and Power Weapon. (Left to Right/Back to Front) .. if you squint really hard there is a completed Hive Tyrant hiding in the back :-) |
 |
| Note the Ultramarines markings that have been grinded off the droppod. These will get covered with SW bits. |
 |
| One more to prime, I have alot of empty boxes, and ALOT of Sprues!!!! |

1G Fail
Why ooooh why did I choose Orks as one of the Armies. I committed to do four armies in four months, and Orks are utter fail for this project. Too many models to paint!
Looking ahead for what I have to paint next month:
Space Wolves:
Gotta get at least a Rhino done to stay ahead of the game.
Tyranids:
12 Termagants and a Trygon... ok not bad. Still gotta get the trygon put together.
Chaos:
4 Terminators, and 2 Defilers... hmm two more big models.. ok.. doable
Orks:
11 Boys
6 Stormboys
4 Bikes
3 Warbuggys
Nob
and a Truk
What is even worse, I haven't even figured out an 1850pt list for them yet. Only figured them out up to 1500pts, and even that list is a bit short :-(
I should've done Black Templars *sigh*. I gotta ton of BT's I could've worked on. If I only hadn't made the oath that I wouldn't touch another BT or paint black, until the next Codex came out.
.. then they update the Black Templar FAQ.
Update: After writing this, I spent the morning base coloring the Stormboyz, hopefully get the Buggies primed this evening. Figure I will juggle Berzerkers and Orks, paint Zerks, while drying, paint Orks... rinse n' repeat. I've had to do this most of the time, so still gonna keep chugging along.
