The Assault on Fenris continues!

Here are two more simple Assault on Black Reach/ Space Wolf conversions. The first was a simple case of clipping off the old head and then drilling out the neck with a large drill bit.

In the second, I glued a wolf tail on to the marine's belt before I glued the bolter on.

Simple!

Enjoy.

Assault on Fenris?

This is an insanely easy conversion. All I did was sand off that weird skull/ star thing on the Assault on Black Reach Dread and glue on the space wolves vehicle symbol.

Word to the wise, if you try to do this, don't bother trying to save the rivets that are on that panel. I tried to cram my hobby knife and my files between them, but ended up just cutting them right off. I wish I had just done that right from the start. It would have saved me a lot of aggravation. I'll go back later and green-stuff some rivets back on.

There are a couple more things I want to do to do with it to make it a little more Space Wolf, but even if I left it at this stage I don't think it would be too bad (Besides the fact that I haven't cleaned off the mold lines yet).

Finally!

No, I'm not done with that first squad of Thousand Sons. I'm saying "Finally!" to another monumental event. That event being the first game of Warhammer 40k that I've won in the last year. I know, it's shocking.

Here's the story. After spending a couple hours at Adepticon on Saturday the 31st, my friend Art invited Jason, my son Max, and me over for a game on his brand new gaming board. I had my Space Wolves and Jason had his Chaos marines (I think they're recent converts to Chaos as they didn't look very spiky to me).

Anyway, this isn't a full blown battle report as I didn't take notes. I just want it to be noted that I won a game.

After I won, Art asked me when the last time I won a game was. As it turns out, it was at Adepticon last year. So it was almost a year to the day of my last victory. Sad, I know.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the battle. Art's table and the terrain are pretty phenomenal.


Can't see much action in this picture, so just enjoy the view.
Just so you know, that's not a die on my rhino; it's smoke.
Although you can barely see him in this photo, my wolflord under the smokestacks on bike is about to get swamped by one of Jason's units .

Space Wolves (More Old Stuff)

Here are pictures of some of my Space Wolves (Boo! Hiss!!). I'm pretty proud of them barring some of the inconsistent paint jobs. These are from my first 40K army that I started about 6 years ago.

I super lazy about putting decals on, so that's why a couple of these figures don't have chapter markings.

I'm a huge fan of using Mordhiem "beardy" heads for space wolves. I think they look much more Space Wolf-like than the standard Space Wolf heads.

This was the first time I had used Green Stuff. I Sculpted some additional hair on this Mini.


The Green Stuff mohawk is more visible in this picture.
