Assault Pack Lupus

I started playing 40k during Rogue Trader and when the first Codex came out for 2nd ed. I was sold and have had a Space Wolf army ever since. Although the wolves of Fenris have changed quite a bit over the years their appeal as space vikings is as strong as ever. I have managed to win best general at Montreal Conflict 2004, best overall at Montreal Conflict 2005, and best theme at Arena Montreal 2007. This is a list of what I currently have in my 1700 Hall of Hero's Tournament list.

Hq
Rune Priest with Frost Blade and bolt pistol

Wolf Priest with Crosius, bolt pistol and arcanum
Venerable Dreadnought with Assault cannon, Dread CCW, Storm bolter and extra armour
Elites
Dreadnought with twin-linked lascannon, Dread CCW, heavy flamer and extra armour

Scouts with 2 x power weapons, Meltagun lead by a Wolf guard with Power fist and bolt pistol
Troops
10 x Grey Hunters with Power weapon, Power fist, Meltagun in Rhino with extra armour

9 x Grey Hunters with Power weapon, Power fist, Meltagun in Rhino with extra armour
9 x Blood Claws with Power weapon, Power fist, Flamer in Rhino with extra armour
Fast Attack
Land Speeder Tornado with Assault Cannon and Heavy Bolter

Land Speeder Tornado with Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer

Land Speeder Tornado with Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer

Heavy Support
Whirlwind

I will normally deploy them so the Grey Hunter squads will lead the advance into the enemies flanks or accept their charge to then be counter charged by the Blood Claws. Each of the IC lead one of the 9 man squads. The Wolf Priest leading the Blood Claws, evaluating them, and the Rune Priest leads the Grey Hunters. The only force I have ever had a challenge beating is a Mech Eldar list, where hitting with the melta weapons is critical to success.

How tall are these figures?

I decided to try "next blog" from mine, and yours is the first one I have found that is not foreign, or an advertising spam page.

They are 25mm scale from the Warhammer 40,000 range made by Citadel miniatures.
