Alamo Bound - Work continues

Remember those resin bases? Well they've all been primed, painted, washed, snow-flocked, re-washed and re-flocked. I'm done. I dig the way they look and they'll make the minis on them really stand out.
That being said, I'm on to model assembly. With a near finalized list I've just realized that I have about a month to get these guys assembled and painted. Today's April 14th and the Alamo event starts May 14th. Let's see what we've got so far...

Alamo Bound... A List in Progress

I've put together a 1999 point list and have 1 modification to it in my head.
So, it looks like this is what I'll be running:


# Unit Gear/Details
1 Wolf Lord Thunderwolf Mount, Frag/Krak, Runic Armor, Frost Weapon, Storm Shield, Saga of the Warrior Born
1 Wolf Lord Frag/Krak, Wolf Claw x2, Belt of Russ, Saga of the Bear
1 Rune Priest Frag/Krak, Chooser of the Slain, Storm Caller, Living Lightning Master of Runes
2 Thunderwolf Cavalry Frag/Krak, Storm Shield x2, Frost Axe x1
8 Grey Hunters Frag/Krak, Meltagun, MotW, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon, Rhino
9 Grey Hunters Frag/Krak, Meltagun x2, MotW, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon, Rhino
9 Grey Hunters Frag/Krak, Meltagun x2, MotW, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon, Rhino
* Mark of the Wulfen One in each Grey Hunter Squad
* Rhino One for each Grey Hunter Squad
6 Long Fangs Missile Launcher x4, Heavy Bolter x1
1 Dreadnought TL AC x2
1 Dreadnought TL Lascannon, Missile Launcher
3 Wolf Guard (Wolf Claw x2) x2, TH/SS

After I get a couple playtest games in with this list, I'll swap out the Thunderwolf cav and the Wolf Lord's mount for a Land Raider for one of the GH squads. Not sure if I want to go redeemer or Crusader yet, or even original, but we'll play around and get a feel for it.
