A Tail Of Two Conversions: Part 1

Originally when the new Space Wolves Codex came out I looked at the entry for the Thunderwolf Cavalry, thought how cool/interesting they sounded, yet ignored them as I started putting together my army. From what I have heard (and read about on other sites) most people thought the same way.

Expanded Coverage in the Works

Hello Everyone!

I finally got a break from my current project of 'Nurglefying' my fine, upstanding Imperial Guardsmen into foul traitors, and I thought I would drop you all a quick line that starting soon Capture and Control will be featuring expanded content covering Warmachine, Hordes, and Malifaux!

40k Zen: The Lay of the Land

Hello Everyone!

I've finally awakened from a heat-induced fugue state to weigh in on what has, apparently, become a point of contention on the battlefields of the 41st millenium: The battlefields!

And They Shall Know No Fear: Elites-Terminators

Terminators, the elite of the elite.  Space Marines who wear Tactical Dreadnaught Armor are the best warriors a Space Marine chapter has to offer.  With fantastic armor and weapons options the Terminators of the Adeptus Astartes ride into battle at the head of surgical strikes in gargantuan Land Raiders or they teleport into the heart of an enemies battle lines to strike a surgical blow to the enemy.  Terminators have always had a special place in my heart and any marine based 40k army I have owned.  My Salamders have 25+ models in TDA, my Space Wolves have 23, my Chaos Marines had 16 and my Templars had 25, they are all mixes of the different variations.  Let's examine the two types of Terminators available to Vanilla Marine players.

40k Battle Report: Daemons v. Orks featuring new Daemon models!

Hello Capture and Control Readers!

We have had a lot of positive feedback about our battle report, especially from those of you supporting us locally, and the offers from our friends to help contribute by doing battle reports have continued to come flooding in.  We are endeavoring to keep the Marine v. Marine action to a minimum so today we are pleased to present to you some Ork on Chaos Daemon Action!

First round of Wolves done.

Greetings All,

Just finished my first batch of Space Wolves and I decided to make my first post on Capture and Control a close look at the painting methods I used to get the wolves on the board.

And They Shall Know No Fear: Elites/Fast Attack Veteran Squads

The Elites choices in C:SM are many and varied.  Dreadnaughts alone come with 3 variations, there are two variations of Terminator Squads, Techmarines, Legion of the Damned, Vanguard Veterans and Sternguard round out the options.  Of all these options the most commonly fielded are Dreads, Assault Terminators, and Sternguard.  I agree with the general consensus that these three options are the best in the Elite slot but I don't believe all the others are therefore bad options as some people will argue.  Remember, not taking the best doesn't mean you are necessarily taking the worst.  Let us take a closer look at the two types of Veteran Squads available to C:SM players.

New Staff

Greetings All,

PythNutD has made the step from Battle Report participant to C&C contributing staff.

PythNutD is a long-time gaming veteran who occasionally makes an appearance at local tournaments to show off his skillfully painted Ultramarines. Lately he has put his boys-in-blue on vacation to build a Space Wolves force. His contribution to C&C will focus on stage-by-stage painting, “master-class” painting techniques, occasional Black-Library novel reviews, and various other hobby/gaming articles.

Goffs: And I'm Spent...

It has taken me nearly 2 years of being uninspired but I finally have 2000 points of painted Orks!  Over the last two weeks I finished off over 100 Orks that had been in various stages of painting.  Ranging from Primed Black to "only needs basing" it wasn't too hard to get it done as long as I stayed focused.  Focus on this army as you know, if you've read my previous posts, has often alluded me.  But lets take a look at what I've got finished now.

Painting Blitzkrieg: Space Wolves

In my previous post on my tournament experience with my Space Wolves I talked about a painting blitz I went on over the course of 27 days.  In that time I managed to paint 20 Wolf Guard Terminators, 10 Wolf Guard in Power Armor, 10 Grey Hunters, 10 Swiftclaws, 1 Rune Priest in Terminator Armor, 1 Rune Priest with Jump Pack, 1 Wolf Priest with Jump Pack (this is my converted Lemartes model) 2 Drop Pods, 12 Long Fangs, and 3 Rhinos.  From reading that list you would think I have no life, as it turns out I have quite a busy social life which often gets in the way of my gaming, as Dis can certainly attest to.  So how was I able to accomplish so much painting in 27 days?
