The Tale of Four Gamers and @arbitorian have been talking about my favorite historical war from the future, the Badab War.  My army ADD keeps getting the best of me, but I intend on painting more of my Salamander collection in the Badab War camouflage scheme. The TOFGs are starting off with Kill Team, but I'm going for a fill 2K. #tofg #tofgbadab #Warhammer40k #spacemarines #astartes #salamanders40k #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #roguetrader #badabwar

At the end of September, my buddy Kyle made and I made a quick trip to Wichita, Kansas for the Flying Monkey Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament. I brought my Space Wolves "wolf jail" list and Kyle brought his Custodes. The tourney was held in a massive hall in an even more massive convention center. It was fairly nice and the tables were mostly spread out enough to move around and not bump butts with the chap at the table behind you. There weren't any support tables for your gear but it was much nicer than the LVO end-to-end layout. Day one didn't go well for me... I was thumped hard by a World Eaters player. We only made it through the top of turn 3 in the 2.5 hours and talked out the rest of my turn 3. I hadn't had many problems reaching turn 5 in my games before so I'm not sure who or what was eating the clock. Round 2 I played solid Templars army but I could not make a 4+ save when it counted. It was a big loss for me.  My third game was against an Ultramarine

This is what passes for Sky Claws these days. You can tell Darren Latham designed these because they are on their tippy-toes. He's a fantastic designer, but I hate the balance issue with these guys and I wish they were more flat footed. I've never liked the phrase, "tech" when talking about miniature games, units, or abilities. One of the reasons I enjoy the hobby is that it's not digital, I can get my hands dirty crafting models and playing games without a digital product and "tech" feels out of place.  However, I do need to tap into some useful units and I've added a squad of Jump Pack Intercessors to my Space Wolf  Great Company, the Storm Breakers. #Warhammer40k #spacewolves40k #vlkafenryka

I recently finished this Space Wolf Librarian, or Rune Priest for you long fangs. He's pretty top-heavy and easily gets knocked over due to the metal eagle. I need to glue some weights under his base.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #spacewolves #spacewolves40k #vlkafenryka

I've recently switched from oil washes to enamel washes for recess shading minis. They are very similar in use, but they are already mixed, just as easy to remove, and look fantastic. The enamels haven't completely replaced oil paint, but they are my go-to method. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #spacewolves #spacewolves40k #vlkafenryka 

I normally don't like playing with named characters, but I entered a GT at the end of the month, and Logan Grimnar is a fantastic piece for the Wolves. I just finished painting this version to lead my successor chapter/great company, the Storm Breakers. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #spacewolves #spacewolves40k #vlkafenryka #logangrimnar
