'Cavalry' Space Wolves.

During my pre-Xmas sort out of my Hobby Room I re-discovered this guy,


Whom I was going to use to 'Count As' Thunderwolf Cavalry. For some reason he was hanging out with a load of Imperial Guardsmen *shrugs*

I also found several Chaos Warhound sprues left over from my Daemon list which would enable me to make a few more. I'm allowed the odd themed list and the following seemed like it might be amusing.

Heavy Support: Long Fangs Pack (3#, 65 pts)
2 Long Fangs Pack @ 65 pts (Missile Launcher x2)
1 Squad Leader (Bolt Pistol; Close Combat Weapon)

Total Roster Cost: 2000

The Grey Hunters and the Long Fangs are the 'odd units out' for the theme but I obviously need the Grey Hunters to hold objectives as the Fenrisian Wolves can't. I'll probably have to model the Hunters running just so they look like they belong in the army.
The Long Fangs give me a modicum of long range light anti-tank and will most likely be ignored by pretty much every opponent as long as there's Cavalry still charging about. I only normally use units of Long Fangs in a small unit like this if they're going to be sitting in a Rhino as a sort of Missile Launching Razorback, lol. But at least on foot they don't get 'shaken' when the vehicle does ;-)

I suppose I should make some progress on my new Daemon list first though or Brent will start getting annoyed with me ;-)

  1. Why is finding models you thought you'd lost/sold so much fun?

    I found a Vendetta a few days ago. How cool was that? You army lists look pretty solid too. I'm not a thunderwolf fan myself but I have seen them wreak some pretty nasty carnage. All the best to you!
