Of Space Wolves and Middenheimers

Hi there bloggers,

Just a quick one this time as I have to get to bed to prepare for my inaugural Blood Bowl tournament. (the list is printing right now)

My team is mostly filed so I have 13 models all ready for gluing into their bases with minor greenstuff needed at a later date. Hopefully I have all the positionals I need! Unfortunately I will be using them as an unpainted team and so will have no real chance in the competition so my aims are:

1) to have a heap of fun
2) to get as many sportsmanship points as possible
3) to learn how to play Blood Bowl better!

I'll have my team done for the next tournament I use them in as I like to focus upon Sportsmanship and Painting (as these are where I see my strengths lay). Hopefully I won't be smashed too hard but even just playing a few friendlies with my mates they are going to be brutal to play! So far there are only around 9 players signed up but the guys reacon there are often a number of last minute entries for Blood Bowl so we'll see how we go.

Anyway it looks like I might be a contender for the Wooden Spoon!


In other news I played my first 2010 game of 40k! That's right guys and girls my first game since an Apoc game using Dan's Tau around 8 months ago! I'll tell you all about it after getting some sleep and playing some blood bowl but here's a teaser....

The Grand Annulus - Warlords of the Fang

Hi there Blog followers,

Well I've been busily working away at the Ultramarines with a few Blood Bowl minis in between but I've been doing a bit of thinking about the Wolf Lords of the Space Wolves and since I'm going to do at least three distinct armies/companies of Space Wolves I have been trying to find ways to represent the current Wolf Lords so I can model them/use them in game. Tell me what you think so far and where I can improve or where I have made an oversight. I haven't given them much "extra gear" yet as I haven't yet played with this edition of the codex but suggestions are welcome!

So obviously they aren't all there yet but comments and ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Any wargear I missed out? Any weapon combos not quite right? Too much Terminator Armour? I'm hoping the guys over at The Space Wolves Blog have a few ideas to throw in!

Also this weekend I compete in my first tournament with a Human Blood Bowl Team after only playing the video game and getting a half against an Undead team that was wiping the floor with me! I'll try and remember to take some photos and report back all the fun we had. I'll try and post again on Saturady even if it's only a quick one. Wish me luck!
