.... it's ENTERTAINING....

... and more than a bit rough...

... and quite "indie"....

... and about as far from the modern slick corporate game as you can get...

... but there are still some gems in there... 

I've still got most of my old RT books - what are you looking for?

So now I'm torn - do I try and get my Space Wolves together or do I dig out my old personal chapter and try to make it run again... 

I'm in as well - though my guys will likely be a "work in progress" - by May I should have the whole group painted...   

I've got trucks!  LOTS of trucks...  and truck-like halftracks...

So I've always had a fondness for the "old marks" of space marine armor - still have several of them in my old space marine force that's been around since... ummmm... well, a while... let's leave it at that (I still have my old Rogue Trader books lying about somewhere)...

Anyway - I've generally always played to the loyalist side because i thought most of the 40K Chaos figures were a bit over the top... but looking at the lovely Forgeworld figures for the Horus Heresy... well, now I'm wavering a bit...  I haven't picked up the rule books yet, but at this point I've got a couple of favorites based on how they appear to paint up at this point... and only one is on the loyalist side...

1)  Death Guard - runs to some of my painting strengths with the bone white and sepia washes - plus the Deathshroud Terminators just look really fun...

2)  Iron Warriors - nice metallic paint job with good accent painting...

3)  Iron Hands - again - nice metallic (though not quite as nice as the Iron Warriors) - and I'm guessing given the chapter fluff I'd get to field more vehicles... not as crazy about their Terminators, though...

So for those of you playing the game - thoughts???

your putting this on all of them right?  

Funny you post that - my son is about a month away from earning his Wolf badge of rank...  :D

Thanks guys - I'll dig through the bits box and see what I need... 

So how are people cobbling together wolf scouts these days?  Standard plastic SM scouts with some head swaps???

My son is getting to the age where miniatures games are going to become fun - so I took him by the GW store in Portland and picked him up some Marines... I'm collecting some Space Wolves as the whole Norse theme just speaks to me, plus it is something different as I still have a buttload of Marines in German 3-tone camo that I've been playing since Rogue Trader days...  Beware puns in runes when I finally get them painted up...

Is there an example from a previous year I could use?

I have a friend who wants to run a club challenge out of area (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of area) - and I need a link to the overall rules for a club challenge - can anyone hook me up?

Emailed mine in this weekend

I'm planning on expanding into this area, but realistically I'm a few months out

I'll take these if they're still available:

TAU
NIB Pathfinder Team (Newest) - $20

SPACE WOLVES
NIB Stormwolf - $48

I'm in the Portland, OR area and could arrange pick up if you're local.

Okay - go ahead and tentatively count me in - I'll see if I can get space in the hotel - otherwise, it's a 2 hour drive for me...

I'm still planning on being there... I can't promise that the paint will have been dry for that long though... 

I may spruce up my winter tigers (need to fix a couple of turrets), punch them out a few points and bring them up...  need to see if I'm free that weekend...  :D

Yup I talked with them and they are a maybe right now. They have to get permission from parents to be gone all day, especially because it will be Nathan's birthday. I'm about 75% certain they will be there.

 

They are 16 and 13 years old so keep that in mind if you are offering a loaner army. I personally trust them with my models and don't think there will be any issues, but wanted to make it clear up from the that teenagers would be handling their minis.

I've got some partially painted Germans that will likely end up being redone - tanks only, if they have some infantry they can bring that would be helpful, though I could bring some LW as proxy as well.  Heck, if they're good sports I may even let them walk away with some of the figures...

Weren't there a couple of people who needed loaner armies?  If they're still interested, can we get them on the list so I can make sure I bring my portion of what's needed?

I feel the vortex pulling me in...

You don't know the power of the dark side!!!!  

Looking pretty sweet!  Anyone planning on collecting Pacific stuff?  I might be interested in putting together some Japs...

I'm doing Japanese for certain... heck I wrote most of the history and flavor text for the book. I'll probably do Marines as well just to do some of the Marine Shermans

Thanks for doing this - I'll see if I can drum up some more people as well... :D
