Wolf Hunt: Thousand Sons vs Space Wolves

"Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know...

...Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day."


I have finally escaped from behind the paywall! (dug my way under with a runcible spoon).

After a year of DZTV batreps (for the discerning wargamer), I return to Winters SEO's YouTube channel.

Not to face the Man in the Hat himself for once, but to take Prospero's old foes, the Space Wolves. The Emperor's Executioners were commanded by another channel regular, Monkey - we've fought twice before, so this narrative had escalated to a decider.

As an added sweetener, this was the weekend the Psychic Awakening: Ritual of the Damned rules got previewed, so I had to immediately retool my army and showcase all the lovely new toys.

It was a hobby treat to play out the ancient vendetta between our two armies, with Winters acting as our very own narrator. And I'm happy to say, the battle report more that lived up to the hype!

Here's what was on the field of play:
