The Blood Wolves on Games Workshop blog

Like most of you I saw the Blood Wolves from Christian Byrne on the Games Workshop Blog yesterday. A renegade chapter themed around Space Wolves an Chaos Marines? And they worship khorne? Sounds much like the Khorne Wolves! Time take a closer look at this army.
This is of course something where most players are gonna scream "HERESY!" about. But his army is very nice looking! I'm not gonna post the same things as posted here.

Blood Wolves1500pts army list:

• 2 drop pods,
• 1 land raider, 
• 2 wolf guard terminators with Cyclone Missle Launchers
• 1 wolf lord / count as Logan Grimnar
• 1 lone wolf with storm shield + thunderhammer
• 1 Rune priest
• 1 squad of 7 blood claws ( I think) with one wolf guard terminator. Ride in drop pod
• 1 squad of 6 blood claws joined with a rune priest and wolf guard terminator. Ride in drop pod
• 1 squad of 8 wolf guard joined by wolf lord/ Logan Grimnar. Ride in Land Raider 

His Logan Grimnar / wolf lord is nice. But I would have gone a bit more chaos like so he would really stand out. Now he looks a bit more like his Wolf Guards. But the only difference is the khorne icon above his head..

 His Lone Wolf and Rune Priest are very nicely done. The swap of back pack with his rune priest is also a nice touch. His Lone Wolf speaks more to me. Because of the Khorne icon on the shield and the Thunder Hammer. Taken from the Chaos Champion from fantasy.

His troops are also awesome built. The Blood Wolves with mark of the Wulfen are made out of Possed Chaos Marines bitz. Which is nicely found! Got to keep that idea in mind. They are also not equiped with any melta. But with Close Combat weapons. I see one with a Frost Axe. Maybe he lets the Wulfen there hands be Power fists? I can't say for sure. I know the only thing is that he did a great job!

His painting methode can also be found on the blog of Games Workshop here.
Next up is his Land Raider and Drop pods! As you can see at the picture atop of this article. On his Drop pod he used a banner pole marking. Also on his transports you can see the Marauders Shields.

His freehand is outstanding! Which can also be seen on his other Chaos Space Marine army. Found here. As you can see on the big above the door has a freehand of a wolf with a bloody mouth.

This looks like a fun army to play and it also gave me a few more idea's for my own Khorne Wolves one day! I've got one thing to say. Keep up the good work Christian Byrne!
