First Play-test :(

Gaming
This weekend I had my first practice games, I'm glad that losing is the best way to learn as it is what I tended to do.

Game 1 Space Wolves vs Grey Knights
This was a 1750pts game so I added 2 Razorbacks with the Long Fangs to run as empty fire bases and a Rune priest with Murderous Hurricane.
My opponent had 3 LRR with 8 girls each, Coteaz, an Inquisitor, 2 squads of acolites in rhinos and a psyker squad in a rhino.

Mission: Capture and control, Deployment: Spearhead

My opponent got first turn, so I castled in the corner ready to defend my objective with my Long Fangs in a ruin and my Rhinos and razorbacks behind the ruin, BIG MISTAKE. he sped up the board, got his girls to kill everything on my objective while his assault cannons were popping my AV11. The 1 good moment for me was when my 2 Wolf Scout units came on, popped the psykers' rhino and killed the psykers inside, killed 1 squad of acolites and contested his objective.

Space Wolves: 0 Grey Knights: 1.

Game 2 Space Wolves vs Blood Angels
Same pts, my opponent ran a storm-chicken with 5 termis, a chaplain and a priest, Mephiston, The Sanguinor, 3 ten man squads with 2 melta and 1 fist in rhinos.

Mission: Annihilation, Deployment: Pitched battle

He got first turn again, zoomed up and by turn 1 was within assault range with storm-chicken, ready for a turn 2 assault, everything popped smoke so my shooting only wrecked stormraven and immobalised a rhino thanks to sh*t dice and great cover saves. In thurn 2, 2 of my Long Fangs were assaulted but I got some points back, and killed half the termi squad, the priest and took a wound off the chaplain thanks to Dangerous terrain caused by Murderous Hurricane. Go Rune Priest!

I conceded after turn 3 because I had next to no shooting left and my scouts were not coming on + it was getting really late. Our end game prediction was:

Space Wolves: 4 Blood Angels:6-8

These Battle reports were not as detailed as I hoped to make them because I forgot to write a turn by turn, but in the future I will.

Hobby
I have fully painted a squad of Grey hunters and I am half way through my second. I am trying to paint them how they look on the front of the codex, using 'Adeptus Battlegrey' as the armour colour, chainmail for the weapons, dwarf flesh for faces, bad moon yellow for hair and I am yet to paint any wolf pelts. I finished it off with a dip in my 'magic wash' and voilà a fully painted model, I hope to post pictures next time.

Thats all for now, so until next time, noob's out!
