First taste of blood and dreadnought almost finished

Hello Peeps!

A close friend of mine asked for some time to play a game of Warhammer. I was going to visit my parents (same city where my friend lives) and bring some stuff for me to paint, but luckily I had enough models with me to play a few games, albeit with small armies wortharound 300 pts. each and heavily improvised.

THE ARMIES:

Space Wolves Betrayers: 303pts

Krom the Betrayer (Wolf Lord) & Cyber Wolf
- Wolf Claw
- Bolt Pistol
- Belt of Russ
- Frag 'n Krak grenades
- Teeth and fangs (Cyber Wolf only)

Venerable Dreadnought
- Helfrost Cannon
- Powerfist with Stormbolter

Space Wolves Hunters: 303 pts

Ulryk the Hunter
- Rune Staff
- Plasma Pistol
- Wolf Amulet

3x Grey Hunters
- Bolt Pistol
- Bolt Gun
- Chainsword

3x Wolf Guard Terminators
- Pair of Wolf Claws
- Thunderhammer and Shield
- Stormbolter and Powerfist

My friend decided to play the "Space Wolves Betrayers" and I ended up to play the other team. Honestly I kind of forgot how the games played out since it was last week we played the game, but we played 2 games and I lost both of them. I still feel the armies were pretty balanced though, I just had a good amount of bad rolls and wasn't able to do any significant damage at all. He played the game right by using the dreadnought from a distance and destroy as many models before they reached for close combat.

In the first game I still had a good amount of models left to destroy him, I think I only lost 1 terminator and 1 Grey Hunter when I finally reached close enough to charge into close combat. However I failed a pretty close charge move and ended losing all my units except for the terminators who did ended up in close combat against the dreadnought, but wasn't able to destroy it for 2 turns and ended up losing the battle. In the second game I lost more models before reaching close combat but managed to kill the Cyber Wolf. This time my HQ fought with his HQ, ended up losing the fight and 1 terminator going against his dreadnought and again not being able to destroy it. Eventually my team got eliminated pretty fast again by the 2 powerhouses.

All in all 2 fun matches and hopefully I was able to convince my friend to start playing warhammer as well. Would be fun to know more people to play against.

Also I've been busy with my dreadnought the last couple of days and I'm close to finishing the model.




I'm actually quite close to finishing it now. I need to brush up and finish some of the details and then it is finished. Afterwards I still need to do the options that I am going to magnetize for the dreadnought. I'm already quite pleased how it looks right now.

Well that was it for today, thank for reading and see ya on the flip-side!
