Native American Wood Elves

I recently found out that I'm part Ojibwa Native American and I've been doing some research on my new found heritage and all of my reading has inspired me to paint up my oldest Warhammer Fantasy army as Native Americans.

I can't find much in the way of actual colors or tribal markings of the Ojibwa people, so I've picked a few natural colors as well as some red and teal to be the base color scheme for the army.

I know a lot of people see the Wood Elves as Scots, Picts, or Celts, but I think the Native American look fits well with the models.

I know WEs aren't the flavor of the month when it comes to gaming, but like I said before, the WEs are my oldest army and they will always have a special place in my heart.

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
