    But not always in that order :)
    I like reading, I am a fluff nut. I also much prefer the modelling and painting aspect of WH 40K, but I am keen to learn how to play.

  1. Maybe not the first mentions of it, but the title is used for the 30K Wolves, along with Thegn for pack leader. I think it is used in A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns, Wolfsbane and in the HH7 book Inferno. Also used in short stories, such as Wolf at the door from Tales of Heresy, Book 31 Legacies of betrayal amongst others Its likely Jarl was used in the earlier Space Wolves works by Black Library, and Forge World used it as a link between the Wolves that were and the Wolves that are.
  2. Very cool idea, kind of reminds me of when Lucius was using a Megarachnid limb as a sword on the planet Murder.
  3. Is the Jorlund hunter pack from the exemplary battles downloads any good? Seems a bit weird having a u it of hand flamers...
  4. Hi. The shields are decals. The shields are 1p coins which I used putty to flatten out the detail. Found some designs I liked online and printed to decal paper. Power Lance's? Not heard of those before. As for the contemporary, the arms have magnets, so I can swap loadouts. I have assault cannons meltas and autocannons. Looking at my current slayer squad There are 10. Shields, 9 have fenrisian axes, 2 have heavy chain blades, 3 big axes, thunder hammer, power sword, power lance & thunder hammer. Not sure if this is good or even legal. Going to run these veterans as stalkers.
  5. Trying to get some heresy mojo going. Started painting up a squad of slayers veterans and recon marines 2 or 3 years ago then stopped. Also started a 3rd Russ not. Too long ago. Wondering if I should start the squads over again as I did a different paint recipe on Russ. Both are nowhere near as dark grey as the first Wolves that I did. What do you think? Not sure if I can get the 2 greys to match up. My test model for the slayers etc from a few years back was this.
  6. Need some advice, I have been collecting horus heresy models but never played a game. I am not looking to be competitive, but if I ever played I do not want to get wiped out in turn 2 either, s most of my collection is just stuff I like. Actually, jut looking to make what I have actually relevant to the Vlka Fenryka, not wanting to chase the meta (considering I do not/ have not played) Plus much of what I have I started working on before book 7, so was put together before knowing what the Wolves units would be. So question 1, are tactical squads any good? I have a 20 man squad, which I could split to be 2 x 10 man squads. Is it worth keeping tacticals in a Wolves list would they be better as something else like stalkers or veterans? This is one of 3 of my veteran squads, do I keep as is, or are stalkers a more viable option? These were done around 4 years ago, so before stalkers were even a thing Also can grey stalkers be armed the same as veterans, or would I be ripping arms off all over the show to change them? I have 25 mark 6 marines in a box, , so would I be better making them up as stalkers? These are 10 of my 20 man breacher unit that I made in 2016-2017. Loved the idea of a shield wall for my viking marines and thought it would be cool. Should I consider making them into a unit of grey slayers, maybe switch the spears for axes?

  8. Loving the shield, where did you get it from?
  9. Pretty sure you could use the chaos backpacks from the 40k chaos marines, just de-chaosify them a bit. Think all legions had access to that style of backpack as they were designed for void style combat, but had much poorer radiation protection to protect the user compared to the standard backpack. Also sure that in hh7 inferno, the vlka were given access to any and all wargear they felt they needed for going to Prospero, so they would likely have had access to all marks of wargear, they'd just have customised it on the journey from beta-garmon to Prospero. However in all cases rule of cool applies so go with what you want to do. Also, I like what you are cooking up so far.
  10. Last time something like that happened to me, 8t was because I had returned an item, which caused their system to suspend my subdcription
  11. I have the head somewhere, could see how it looks on a normal marine. As for the rod, it could do with shortening, so thats something to be done. Horus ascended is on my shopping list, want the original Horus and the ascended one, to show his change. The only other idea I had was to see if I could get the claws from the 40K Abaddon model and try clipping back Horus claws then try fitting Abaddon's. I'd also like to get the Daemon Angron as a counterpart to the original FW model too
  12. Need a bit of advice. Roboute Guillemann. I hate hate HATE his head. Got this model as an ebay rescue a while back and have started oainting it up. Going to go for a battle worn look, rather than pristine (explains missing or damaged bits on the model. His head, uh, looks I dunno, like he is still asleep or something. I managed to get a Phalanx Warder head to make him a bit more ... dynamic/ angry! Am I going along the right tracks or is there something better out there? Also while I was away from work, my kids played with Horus and dropped him (painted this 2015-2016 maybe). A bit of the stairway is missing, no big deal!, but the broke WorldBreaker which is now missing and the tips of the claw are snapped off of a few of the claws. Managed to get a WorldBreaker head from a bits site, from Horus Ascended, but it is huge compared to the original, does it look stupid, or just run with it? Also how to fix the claws?? I might, just maybe have a dea marine somewhere so could potentially position iyr to look like he is dropping a body... or maybe a dead solar auxillia like from Curze's base? Thoughts??
  13. Where ar efolks up to with their subscriptions in the UK? I havent received a November shipment yet and am at issue 54. Just wondering how far behind I am?

  15. Another forgotten project I am looking to resurrect. Been sitting in a box for 4-5 years Thought it might give the Wolves a bit of mobility and potentially some armour hunting capability. Not sure what it would be best to arm the jetbikes with, any advice?
