Rune Priests

I don't know about you, but I am a little bit excited about the new Warzone Fenris coming out - and particularly some of the Formations (Note: I am not that excited about the rumour that points values will be disappearing from 40k to be replaced by Formations though... that... sounds... too bad to be true and hideously true at the same time).

Space Wolves were my first 40k army proper, and I have always had a soft... err.. tough hard viking-esque spot for them.

One of the Formations that caught my eye was the Wyrdstorm Runepriests. I have a Njal Stormcaller in power armour to convert as well as the current metal Rune Priest, so I dug out some of my old metal 2nd Ed models to see if there was a particular model that might respond to some conversion.

"Oi. get your axe out of my face!"

My pick is the middle one (Blood Claw Pack Leader... for those of you that are old enough). Not sure I would remove the power fist either, it looks like a special glove for summoning tempests or something.... that and he has more trinkets/furs/knives/character.

One thing about this release that I am not particularly excited about that they haven't appeared to have fixed the number of Dreadnought attacks (to bring them in line with the Space Marine Codex). Will know for sure this weekend!

  1. Maybe you should dust those Wolves out and come and try them out against one of the Sharks on Tuesday night? :)

    1. We are _Space_ Wolves, not Luna Wolves...

  3. Classic, love the orange punk hairdo.

    Bring your space puppies around for a game one Tuesday, I'll have some Dark Angels for them to try catch.

  4. Um..... Didn't the Space wolves spend all their time lounging in saunas while wearing leather bondage outfits and telling ghost stories?

    1. Pretty sure it wasn't a sauna nor a lodge... And there was alcohol involved.
