Welcome to the Fang

My gaming group is running an event at our FLGS similar to the old "Tale of Many Gamers" campaign of White Dwarf heraldry.
The idea is, over the course of time we will be playing games of increasing size, while building/painting a new army/force.  We are trying to encourage some new players to get involved, so to start things out we need 500 pts painted up and ready to play (with themed objective marker) by May 28th.
We are hoping that starting small will not only encourage people to jump in, but pose a challenge to our veterans as we typically play larger games.

I figured this event would be the perfect to finally start my Space Wolves army.

Slim Pickin's

This past moth has been pretty slim as far as actualy matches have been concerned.
Ian (Orks) and I(IG) played a 1250 rendition of Cut and Run (Battle Missions - Pg 62).
I realized that while my standard list method is effective, it's lacking in fun-factor.
that being said I started converting a second Leman Russ Punisher, and once it's painted, will be throwing 2 of those bad-boys on the table. Maybe I'll talk myself into throwing Pask into the new one, just to see what all the fuss is about.  Along with the Punisher comes plasma rifle conversions as well (plasma pistol + lasgun).
Looking forward to continuing through this campaign I've been playing with the group. I think i'm up against the local Ork king this time around. We'll see what happens there!

My quest for space wolves still continues. Life throws plenty of curve balls, unfortunately most of them seem to be directed at my wallet, haha! Their day will come, and when it does...
