400 Point Combat Patrol Bat Rep

Here's your friendly neighbourhood space puppy with a new battle report. Unfortunately AGAIN we forgot to take pictures, we were so caught up in playing that we cracked on about the game. Managed to get it finished in about 40 mins.

Combat Patrol

400 Points

Space Wolves(Mike) vs Ultramarines(Jamie)

Army Lists:

Space Wolves - 395points

Grey Hunters x 10, Melta Gun x 2

Long Fangs x 6, Missile Launchers x 5

Land Speeder Typhoon with MultiMelta

Ultramarines - 395points

Tactical Squad (Broken into 2 combat squads, 1 with Missile Launcher and Plasma Gun and Sergeant, 1 with x5 Bolters)

Attack Bike, MultiMelta

Bike Squadron x 3, Sergeant with Power Fist, Plasma Gun, Melta Gun

Setup:

Space Wolves

I won the roll, i set up first, with my Long Fangs on the 3rd floor of a building on my right flank, Grey Hunters spaced out in near the Long Fangs in the middle and then the Landspeeder to their left.

Ultramarines

The Ultra's set up with their bikes and attack bike hiding behind a building on my right flank, in that building was the combat squad with the Missile Launcher, Plasma Gun and Sergeant and on the left flank was the other combat squad, set up also in a building.

Now I will say that this layout isn't exact :) but it gives you a better idea of how we deployed.

Now also... I was going to do a turn by turn, however I can't remember exactly what happened, and can't quite be bothered at the moment!

The game ended at the end of Turn 4 with the following result:

Space Wolves Losses - 1 Grey Hunter

Ultramarine Losses - 5 Tactical Marines, 3 Bikes, 1 Assault Bike.

I was really happy with how the Land Speeder performed, apart from the fact that it's dice rolls were blessed (apart from turn 1) it only had a shaken for 1 turn.

Feel free to slate me for the shoddy battle report >_<

The Vallhund "Dog" Soldiers

I have finally decided on a name for my Space Wolves, from now on they will be know as The Vallhund "Dog" Soldiers.

Ok so I thought I should start posting some pics of my expanding army.




Ok so far we have the Rhino for transport, 20 Grey Hunter/Blood Claws (not decided on what combination yet) 5 Scouts, 6 Long Fangs, the Predator sitting in the background (yet to be built) and a Drop Pod which is currently on loan to a friend.

The Long Fang squad I picked up yesterday and are still half painted in Dark Angels colours but a quick blast with Chaos Black will sort that out.

I think I am going to use one of the Grey Hunters as my Rune Priest, I have one with the two handed Frost Axe which could be used as a Runic Weapon and he looks quite priesty.....

Better late than never

Well i thought it's about time I got my first post up here as the others seem to be beating me to it.

A little background on myself, I used to play 40K around 12 years ago and loved every minute of it. I started out with Blood Angels and progressed on to Chaos Marines and pretty much dominated everyone I played with my Chaos Terminators with Reaper Autocannons (to be honest I think I may have made up one or two of the rules).

I always wanted to start a Space Wolves squad and picked up 1 or 2 models but never continued with it.

Fast forward to 2010 and after speaking to my fellow team mates we all decided to start collecting again and after much indecision on my part I decided to finally build my Space Wolves squad.

So as I'm about to leave for work the other morning the postman turns up with a rather large box which could only be my models, with only a few minutes to spare I managed to rip open the box and paw (no pun intended) at my new shiny Codes and Space Wolves Battleforce.

I have spent the last few evenings when i get home from work putting everything together and I hope to get some pictures up soon once I get the last few pieces I need to put the finishing touches to everything.

Commander Grimnar Out.....
