Square to Round: Iron Wolves Recap

     I've decided to do a bit of a recap, especially since the list changed a bit since I first started this project.  Having played WHFB for a long time I was looking to get into 40K for various reasons.  Most of my gamer friends are heavily involved in 40K, not so much into the Fantasy side of the game.  I also had hit a 'burn-out' stage when it came to WHFB and was looking for something to get the juices flowing and rekindle my interest in the gaming scene.  I am also waiting for the various 8th edition Army Books to hit a critical mass that will solve some of the competitive problems with WHFB that I believe exist right now.

March of Wolves: Troops

Space Wolves Troops
By: Alan B.

With troops I always take a look at who gets the most bang for the buck, or points so to speak.  In the space wolves codex it is mostly a choice between hunters or claws with some additions.

March of Wolves: List of the week - Thundercav + Lone Wolves.

So, you want an excuse to run your pretty new Thunder Cavalry models?  Well let's give you one!

Codex Review: Space Wolves' Fast Attack

When the words Space, Wolves, Fast, and Attack all find themselves in the same sentence overgrown, rage-addled men atop overgrown, rage-addled wolves are just about the only thing that comes up. Believe it or not, the codex does have other options. In case you've forgotten, we intend to show you all of them.

March of Wolves: Logan Grimnar Analysis

Logan Grimnar, The Great Wolf!  He is one of the most iconic leaders in all of 40k, This was the guy that got me all excited when I used to play Wolves in 2nd edition.  Through the years, the Wolf king has not fallen in popularity.  Lets go over him and see some of his inner workings and give a few suggestions on how to use him.

Codex Review: Space Wolves' Heavy Support

As we have said before, March is Space Wolves month, and with that we are going over the codex section, by section.  Bring on the heavy support! What army would be complete without the thunder of tanks and destructive hell fire of heavy weapons?

Army list of the week: 1750 SW grey hunter spam

This week I was making up a super-sexy Thundercav list so we can have an excuse to use the sexy new models, but life got in the way and Ill I got written down was the Wolf Lord and 2 rune priests.  So, with that I am stealing this weeks "List of the week," from my good buddy Goatboy. With this month being "march of wolves," how could we not steal a list from him?

"March of Wolves:" SW vs Necrons

After diving into the codex the last few weekends and writing a few articles on Necrons this last week I decided to play a game with them last night.  Because it is "March of Wolves (month)," I played against my good friend Mark and his new Thundercav list. Here is a rough idea of the lists we played.

Square to Round Pt. 3 - Masterclass SW Vehicles

What better way to kick off "March of Wolves," than to give you some beautifully painted (dare I say, masterclass) Space Wolf vehicles!    

As usual, real life has gotten in the way and I'm a bit behind on this project.  As you get older you'll realize (if you don't know already!) that things like wives, kids, careers, ageing parents and a myriad of other stuff have the ability to seriously impact the time you have to do things that you really want to do...like gaming and the related painting, converting, etc..  My original goal was to have this force painted and ready to play by the end of March and I still might make it.  I have a personal thing about playing with unpainted models and it doesn't matter to me whether it's a tournament or a pick-up game.  I just don't like the look of it and it basically ruins the whole experience for me, but that's just me.

March is Space Wolves Month!

Just a quick post that this month we will be doing a focus on Space Wolves this month (that doesn't mean we won't post on other things) expect to see posts on the different Section voices within the codex and even some painting tips on how to paint what is arguably the Best codex in 40k.

What would you like to see this month while we focus on the Wolves?  What codex would you like to see us cover next?

List of the week: Pod Space Wolves 2000 pts

Alright, this week we have a really interesting Space Wolves army list.  It employs drop pods heavily and was actually quite fun to play against.  I saw this list at WargamesCon last year and I have to say that the guy who was playing it was a great player and all-around-good-guy. 

Square to Round: Iron Wolves Part 2 - Infantry Models

     I survived the holiday period by the skin of my teeth.  A lot of obligations and visiting relatives did put me a bit behind schedule with this army construction.  Of course, I also spent a few late nights sipping on 'Nog and continously tweaking my list.  For me this usually starts with some type of 'brilliant' idea and then trying to shoehorn it into my list.

VIDEO Bat Rep 2000 pt Xaereth's Wolf Star vs Duke's Paladin Star.

Last night my buddy Vault and I took the short drive from our city up to Fort Collins, CO.  We went up there to go hang with the great group of gamers there and to 'keep up foreign relations,' as goose would put it (top gun) lol.  Anyhow, I thought we would get a quick game in, laugh a lot with the guys,  and head home.   What I didn't expect is that I was going to be playing a drag out slugfest against, arguably, one of the best players in the state.
