The Return of the Wulfen!!

Greetings all,

Jamie #1 Here, I have been working on my Wulfen for the last 2 weeks and have almost finished them, just small details to touch up. Then it dawned on me that since it is a miracle that I have actually painted something within a couple of weeks of buying it, I should celebrate with a blog post.

First off I had some issues with getting the body on the legs, the whole assembly was odd if im honest but did allow for some customization. You are given all the weapons you can dream of so all the frost and hammers that a space wolf could want.

After finally getting everything assembled which did take a ridiculous amount of time (Most likely due to my own abilities) while following the handy instructions that were provided, I had a 5 Man squad of Wulfen ready to tear something part... Once they get painted that is but that's a small detail in my world.



I have to say these models where quite fun to paint all be it fiddly and frustrating at times, with weapons and pelts getting in the way on several occasions. I wanted to try something different with my weapons by giving them a frost effect. After a trial on some wolf claws on a terminator.



Which I was very happy with I decided that this would be the effect on all close combat weapons in the army.

The Wulfen Pack Leader in my honest opinion needed to have a change in stance as that Kung Fu Crane was just silly, I swapped one of the feet to push the model forward to make it look like he was charging rather than asking to be killed like a Cultist. This has to be my favourite model out of the unit.


The rest of the unit consists of 2 shield and thunder hammer Wulfen for much needed survivability for the unit to make it to combat, otherwise they would die before making it there which would make me a sad panda.


Followed swiftly by a Frost Axe Wulfen to cleave through units and those tasty wraith knights that we love to beat up. Normally left to the thunderwolves but now i have a new unit that will be designated for monster hunting.



Last but not least is the remaining Wulfen with a pair of frost claws which can kill most things with ap2 str 6 attacks.


Overall these models have been fun to paint and a pain to assemble and I cant wait to use them on the tabletop, until then Keep on fighting.

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments . This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney. The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules. I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting any...

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft.  Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers.  The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...
