1st Grey Hunter Pack Painted



Well Bear Cubs, I got some stuffs to show off. I played a game against my good friend Wiley The Nord from over at Ghostlight of Commorragh the other day, had a blast, (batrep to come soon!) and I got to play with my Space Wolves. I got them all out and surveyed the list in all its glory, and became dismayed as I cast my gaze upon it. After being used to playing my Blood Angels, who are mostly painted, my completely unpainted Wolf army was quite depressing. 


So, for the past 2 days, I have been working feverishly to make some headway on my new crush, the Boys from Fenris. After some long nights, some sore thumbs from opening paint pots, and a slight case of carpal tunnel, I have finished my first squad. Now, these boys are not Golden Daemon by any stretch, I think they are sufficiently table top quality. Let me know what you think!

I am pretty Happy with how they are comin along, 10 down, 25 to go!

Keep checkin out IIWPA... For the first Batrep with the Wolves!

Gunnar Red Moon Ridin the Big Wolf



Grizz here, picked up a Canis Wolfborn model in the new Finecast. Let me say first that the Finecast has exceptional highs and lows, no middle ground. I held out on getting a Canis model due to the headache that a metal thunderwolf proposes, so when they said they were bringing them out in Finecast, I got all kinds of giggly 6 year old girl excited.


This Excited
So I go out, pay my money, and wait for a month due to GW's awesome business policies and warehousing. So I finally pick it up and get it home, and boy is it a good lookin cast. Sharp edges, lighter than I had thought, and easy to put it together. Then I saw the pitting/bubbling spots. Two spots, both pretty rough. Now, fixing them was pretty easy, just filled them with super glue and went on with my business, but this is almost unacceptable in a new product. Just my .02


Anyway, I got it halfway painted and got stuck on what equipment to give him. I rolled around storm shield and TH/FW, but I could never decide. Then I started doing the rolls on a dual wolf claws, and dear God what a beast. Luckily, Canis has some pretty kickin claws. So got em glued on and now Gunnar Red Moon is ready to ride his Thunderwolf down to the battlefield and add some tales to his glorious saga!

Maul In The Mall!!!!!!!!!!



Well ladies and gents, the Maul is almost upon us. For those of you not in the know, The Maul is an annual tournament held at Dicehead Games and Comics. It is one of the larger events on the Tennessee tourney scene, and always a blast. I was unable to attend last year's Maul due to being on my honeymoon, so I am really looking forward to this year's event. One of the funnest things about the Maul is its very unique, always entertaining missions, and this year doesn't disappoint. 


My hope is to get the Space Wolves ready for the tourney, but at only two weeks away, I got a lot in front of me. I will be working tediously over the next two weeks and will be updating my progress. If you have never been to the Maul, or any big venue tourney for that matter, come on out for a day of 40k and fun. I'll see you there!
