Space Wolves vs. Gellerpox Infected - 40k Kill Team

-
still learning the rules to Kill Team and the best way i learn is actually playing it.
so i took what i have painted with my Space Wolves space marines and take on the Gellerpox Infected.
since now i have the actual rules for them..(long story) i have been itching to see how they are in Kill Team.
so i picked an easy mission, Face Off from the Commanders rulebook.
Rune Priest in Terminator Armor and 125pts. of Space Wolf Company Veterans
versus Vugrar Thrice-Cursed and 125pts. of the Infected.
Mission: first team to take out enemy's commander wins.
this game went six turns.
was gonna end it at five but at beginning of turn six it was about to heat up.

layout of the table.

Space Wolves veterans deployment.
my girlfriend was over when i was setting up and i had her roll for initiative,
and made her deploy the space marines.
she doesn't play much war games with me but she as
they say in the movie Stripes "willing to learn."

Gellerpox Infected deployment.

first wave moving in,
Eyestinging Swarm and Sludge-Grubs.

big boy eyeing his first target.

 
Rune Priest goes to cast Psybolt and actually fails and has Perils of the Warp wound him.

now Glitchlings join in the hunt.

Eyestinger Swarms flies into melee and takes out the "Mastodon"
horrible dice rolling, i was kinda sad when this happened.
first blood.
 after taking out the old man, the Swarms flew up on top of the rafters and engaged the Pack Leader.

the Gnasher-Screamer sets his hungry maws on the Rune Priest.

the Thrice-Cursed advances with the Gellerpox Mutants not far behind.

what turn 3 started out as..

getting banged around by the Nightmare Hulk, the Rune Priest held on and passed
every invulnerable save,
eventually killing the menacing beast.

 coming around the flanks, the Thrice-Cursed eyes his target,

 advancing and forming the line to bring this to an end.
the steadfast Space Wolves and the invading mutants of Nurgle.

 beginning of turn six,
clash of the titans.

dice rolls from the Pack Leader trying to take out a Glitchling but with -2 to shots...
just bad dice rolls.

the Rune Priest able to wound him with a Psybolt and create enough damage with his force axe,
was able to take out the Gellerpox commander.

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
