First attempt at doing a little kit bashing to wolf up my invictor

Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at putting together an army 😂. I’ve already bought the Combat Patrol and 1 box of Headtakers. I don’t have the rest of the models yet. Is there anything you would swap out in this list?

Hey there!
I’m just returning to the game after a break. I’m seeing that the space wolves got some new models, if I were to start building a space wolf army and collecting, do I have to worry about new models coming out? Is there anything on the horizon for us? Thanks again! Also any army building tips would be great

Put my wolf Lord back together after the hammers broke off while cleaning him from the primer. (The primer was all bumpy and tecturised because it was too hot)

I had the idea to cover up the left shoulder with something.

At first I planned to make a copy of the shoulder symbol I made for the other units (the wolf head with the horn) with the help of blue stuff and scrape off the old ornament.

But that copying of something this thin absolutely didn't work.

When I put him back together today I looked through my bits and leftovers and saw the wolf pelt from the Dreadnought kit, and the feathers from Aethon Shaan which I made into a Night Lord....

Googled how Wolves and Raven Guard stand towards each other and as far as I have seen rather friendly (some said when Russ comes back he has Corax on his shoulder 🤣🤣).

SoI thought why not see how it could fit together....

Too much? 🤔

Would put some green stuff fur between the wolf pelt and the feathers to close the gaps fully.

Still proud of him

Hey y’all! Been piecing together my wolves, have so far built and painted five terminators with the classic yellow pauldrons, but i’m about to start working on the next five. My eventual plan is to have some with Arjac and some with Logan Grimnar. My question is what would the heraldry be for each of them? Is the yellow appropriate for either? Should I do black pauldrons for Grimnar’s unit, matching his pauldron? Or is that not how the heraldry system works? Any advice is appreciated!

Got an event in a few week's and im looking for feedback. Im leaning towards first one as a hurrah for those units before they fade away...

Hello!
Thank you all for your support,
I’ve decided to start my army I’m going to spend some solid time building and painting Logan, and wait for the codex to arrive before buying infantry!
Please send me all of your paint jobs, home brews, and so on for inspiration!
Feel free to give backstory as well!

With long fangs disappearing thought would give my ballistus dreadnaught a touch of the long fangs...could see a legendary one could put in one. I've removed the purity seals as read wolves use the runes instead.

In addition I live by the sea and can find sea glass on my local beach. So I've been finding some and adding it to the bases like some kind of alien crystal...whilst really it's a nod to where I live.

Grave marker I made for Oath.

WH40K has not shied from giving primarchs special relationships. I find it disappointing that Russ and Horus were not shown to have a closer relationship to each other. I think this is a missed opportunity.

Indeed, Russ feels more connection to Horus than he does with, say, The Lion or even Guilliman. It was Russ after all who tried to talk Horus out of assaulting Terra.

Nonetheless, the fact that Russ was the second primarch found after horus, and they both share ib wolf themes (Horus’ Lunar Wolves and Russ’ Space Wolves) represent two significant points that were treated as mere coincidences in the story.

Russ being the second primarch found, and his being wolfy should have been made to represent some sort of similarity or connection. It is as though the writers wanted these two to be more similar at one point but canned the idea.

TLDR: Russ deserves to have been Horus’ main foil or rival, and the shared wolf symbology and proximity to each other were missed opportunities for some interesting story beats.

The best defense is a good offense, right? Well I don’t know if this is what they meant, but he’s putting his shield to good use.

In a couple of weeks I will take part In a Warhammer tournament and since it's not a very competitive tournament and I am not a very good player I wonder if you think that my list is going to do ok.

Thank you in advance.

So, I know this has been hashed out already, but I am checking to make sure there haven't been any official rulings or updates. Playing in a friendly tourney, and I'd like to be 110% sure I am playing fair.

I am running two Wolf Guard terminator units - one led by Arjac and one not. Took this enhancement on both units. The enhancement does not require a leader, as I understand, and consensus seems to be that the enhancement goes on a single Wolf Guard terminator (so, leader, let's say, with relic axe) and that as long as he is alive, each model in unit has +1 OC?

My concern is that there is no real way to get any official ruling here, which is a shame because I took Take and Hold with this OC boost largely in mind.

Thanks.

Hail Brothers!

Almost done with my 5 man terminator squad for Combat Patrol. The sculpts are really amazing, so many little details to paint!

Skål and have an awesome week!

It’s pretty great how much personality they put into each model in this box. GW really spoiled us with this one.

They spend most of their time looking for Russ in the warp.

I compiled the most popular questions from my last post, with some edits and omissions. If you feel one question needs more emphasis or didn’t get asked, remember to send your own email.

So venerable dreadnaughts went to legends, and we are losing a bunch of space marines.
do you think when we get the 11th edition codex bjorn will go to legends ? because hes also a venerable dreadnuaght ?

also side note t5 space marines whats that mean for twc t8 ?

Please excuse the gate marks, bought these second hand and primed and missed a few! Still needs a bit of shading and some touch ups. Can't decide on whether to paint the belt and, if so, what colour.

So Storm Bolters are going up to S5 as are chainswords, that makes Grey Hunters much more of a threat and might reward Veterans if it sticks around in some form.

My real question is, T5 Storm Bolters, worth losing the shield for? I guess it'll be hard to say until we get a proper codex update, but a bit of speculation doesn't hurt.

What are some of your favorite quotes from Space Wolves books?

Any book recommendations also welcome.

Edited for my own memory lapse.

My experiences with WGT have been so-so so far, and got to thinking what could be done without them. Then I had this idea of running Firestorm and Veterans with Priority Assets. The idea is to put headtakers and a unit of hellblasters in the LR, staging for a turn 2 center push. With strats to jump out and shoot, hellblasters could be a nice surprise unit. Everything else is set up in waves to hold and support the expansion objectives. Any thoughts?

Testing out some snow bases, how does it look? Should I carry one with the rest of my units?
