Finished painting my first drop pod, took about 5 hours (or rather, Deathproof, an episode of Heroes and Goldmember). Wasn't sure how to do the weathering so I sponged on some black, then some silver & brown. That only leaves 4 pods to go! hurrah!
I'm plotting out an army list revision. I've found a couple of white lions from the chariot kit on ebay, which I should hopefully be able to make into thunderwolf cavalry. I've seen some conversions like this and they look a little wanky, so I'm gunna try and green stuff and do some clever conversions. We'll see!
Anyways, army list! At the core of my builds, I like to have 3-4 units of grey hunters, all with a different build. Then a unit of guard terminators with a rune priest in a pod, and lastly some fun bits to play with. This time, the fun bits will be thunderwolf cavalry and maybe some wolves. I was thinking that the last two units were a little wanky till I thought about the range they threaten. Sure, they're movement 6, but they are fleet and can charge 12", so they have a sexy 19-24" threat range. That's better than bikes, given the right opportunity!
So...:
9 Grey Hunters, Mark, Melta, drop pod, Wolf Guard, Power fist - 233
10 Grey Hunters, 2 plasma guns, drop pod - 195
5 Grey Hunters, flamer, mark, drop pod, Wolf Guard, Power fist - 168
5 Grey Hunters, flamer, mark, drop pod, Wolf Guard, Power fist - 168
4 Wolf Guard, 4x Terminator armour, 1 Chain fist, 1 assault cannon, 1 Wolf claw, 4 storm shields, drop pod - 277
Rune Priest, Terminator armour, Jaws, Wrath - 120
4 Thunderwolf cavalry, power fist, storm shield, plasma pistol - 270
8 Fenrisian wolves - 64
That makes 1495, so I could maybe throw in a weapon upgrade or somthing. I dunno. Looking forward to playing this, tho! The plasma pistol and odd setup for the Guard are mainly for wound allocation, which I am a bummer and like to exploit. Rawr!
