On a cold Fenrisian night, Rune Priest Torvald, of the Great Company of Thorimir Kingslayer, made his way to
one of the great taverns of the mighty Fang. As he made his way into the drinking hall, all around quickly
hushed as the old Rune Priest made his way to one of the fire pits to warm his hands. He noticed all eyes in
the room glued to him and smiled.
"So, I suppose you all want to hear a tale, eh?"
The hall erupted in roars of approval from old greybeards and young pups alike.
"All right then young pups, gather around as I recall the tale of the defence of Galvan Prime."
Many in the hall began to group around the Rune Priest, pushing and shoving to get close enough to hear the
tale. After everyone in the hall settled in around the Priest, a greybeard handed the old man a pint of ale
and he took a long sip of the tankard. After he set it down, he began to recall the images in his head.
"It was a dark and dreary day for Galvan Prime. Chaos had tainted the planet and called up to its gods for aid.
They answered. The planets sky swirled in colors of purples, blacks, reds, and colors that had no name and
couldnt be discribed. And then they came. Dameons and horrors of unimaginable terror and fright. Mighty
Daemon Prince and daemonic plauge-lings. And we fought them with everything we had.
Before they came, Chaos had infiltrated the planet and corrupted many of its inhabitants. Myself and the
company of Thorimir Kingslayer were stationed in the capital city of Galvan Hive to protect its Manufactorums
along with a company of Ultramarines and Blood Angels.
My kinsmen and I were stationed with holding the center of the city with its attena array capable of sending
messages deep through space. The Blood Angels were tasked with holding the port and it's surrounding factories
and the Ultramarines guarding the others.
They Daemons came from the sky. Multi colored lightning bolts and bright flashes struck down from the sky and
mobs of Daemons emerged from where they struck. We were initially hit by plauge bearers, ugly creatures, slow
and tough, able to withstand wounds that would fell a Kraken twice over. There were juggernauts aswell, with
evil bloodletters riding their backs like some calvary force of old. Flesh-hounds and daemonettes also arrived
aswell as a Daemon Prince. We took many casuualties in the first wave as they landed, but we soon regrouped
and gave them the bolter and chainsword. I and the two long fang packs I was with focused our heavy weapons
fire on the biggest of them, knocking them down, one by one as the grey hunters engaged the smaller units.
But the real Saga of the day lies with Grimnar's own champion, Arjac Rockfist!"
Many in the hall roared their approval again, lifting steins and knocking them back.
"Aye, Arjac was their, with old Harald Grimtotem, Wolf Priest of the Great Company of Thorimir Kingslayer.
Together they rode with a pack of Wolf Guard in a Land Raider Crusader. They came to the aid of the grey hunters
already in combat and strode out to challenge the Daemons. In the course of the day, Arjac and old Grimtotem
claimed many daemons from Pink Horrors, Daemon Princes, Seekers, Fiends, Soulgrinders, and more.
But the day was not without its price, for many of our brothers fell. But we will not forget them or mourn their
loss, for they are with Russ and the Allfather now, and we will see them once again at the Wolftime!
Hail the victoriouse dead!"
"HAIL!" was the unified cry of the Hall as they once again knocked back their tankards.
"In the end, the city held, and the world was cleansed of Chaos."
Here are some pictures from the battle.

RIP Daryl Bugbee
So, as some of you may or may not know, my friend Daryl Bugbee passed away in February at the young age of 39, a week from his 40th B-day.
I have since been taking care of his lawn for his parents and today they let me have alot of Daryl's old models. The following are pictures of what I got today, and there is still more at his house.
Overview shot
Lots of Genestealers
This next stuff is Mutant Chronicles I believe
Space Marines
Other stuff
Not sure what I am going to do with this stuff, as none of it really fits with anything I have at the moment. I may end up selling some of it or something, I dont know.
Anyways, just thought I'd share with ya what was dropped in my lap today.

Victory!
We played a 2v2, Imperium vs Non Imperium game this weekend with 3000pts a side. My deathstar list did fairly well.
Here is a quick recap of things that happened.
Necrons were spread thin across their deployment as the Daemons have to deep strike. A monolith, and Necron Elites (Pariahs?) stood against the Ultra Angels while the deadly Nightbringer and lots of warriors stood against my small force of Space Wolves.
We rolled up 4 objectives and placed them across the board. (Using my awesome Ale barrels! :P)
So basically, I rolled my LRC right up to the Nightbringer's face and let loose with Arjac, Wolf Priest and Wolf Guard while the Rune Priest tried to Jaws the Nightbringer. He failed, but managed to kill 3 warriors before attracting alot of fire and dying right out. Poor bugger.
Arjac and friends however pressed on and assaulted the Nightbringer. However, on my part I didnt realise over half the unit couldnt even wound him, >.>.
After two turns of combat, Arjac, 1 Wolf Guard, and the Wolf priest emerged victorious. They then wiped a squad of Daemons (manta rays?) and then Arjac and the Wolf Guard fell to Necron Fire.
Meanwhile back in our deployment zone, my two grey hunter packs sat eagerly awaiting Daemons as they deepstruck to their doom.
On the other side of the board my partners Ultra Angels were doing a fair bit against Daemons and Necrons alike.
After Arjac fell to Necron Warrior Fire, my Wolf Priest hopped back inside his LR and with the help of a Grey Hunter squad and a tac squad from the Ultra Angels, the Necrons were soon punished and effectively phased out.
At this point the Daemons were still coming in piecemeal and dying quickly.
The Imperium stood victorious!

From the Space Wolves Battleforce that I picked up a while back I was able to make 2 Grey Hunter squads, 1 scout squad and a drop pod (unassembled). With some extra bits I was able to make a Rune Priest to go along with them. I also had leftover from my old army a rhino, predator, vindicator, and a Land Raider. I decided for todays game that I would use the Pred as a second rhino. So, after adding up all the points, I was no where near the 1500 pts we had decided on for todays game at my friends house. So I went back to the bits box.
And lo and behold, I found part of a tac squad (on the sprue) and part of an old space wolves pack (on the sprue). After taking some time and looking over it all, I decided to make a Wolf Guard pack with the Wolf Claws, Frost Axes, and Thunder Hammers left over from the Battleforce. I also was able to make a Wolf Priest aswell, and found some old TH Terminators (one of which I am using as Arjac).
So here is the new list I came up with after assembling all those extra bits and bobs.
2x 9xman GH's-MG, WS, MotW-165pts (330pts)
2x Rhino's-35pts (70pts)
WP-Runic Armor-WTN, WTT, MB's 140pts
RP-LL, JotWW-100pts
Wolf Guard-10x man-Arjac, TH/SS, 2x Frost Axes, 4x WC's, 2x PF's/2x CM's-610pts
LRC-250pts
1500pts
Now I know I am not using the Vindi or the scouts and that all my eggs are basically in one basket (aka LRC) but I think the list will do fairly well. Today's game isn't a super competitive game at all, so Im not looking to win any trophies, just to have some fun and see what all this army can eat!
I will post up some of the highlights from the game and maybe try and nab some pics if my phone doesnt want to give me a fit.
