Blobs Park list, 2000 points
Well, I am still a little irritated at Irene for making me miss the Nova. From everything I have read, it sounded like a great event, I will be there next year.
To fill in the gap, I have registered for the Battle at Blobs Park Tournament, a rather large one-day event. Four games at 2000 points.
Should be a great time, originally I was just going to take the list I made for the Nova, but after a few practice games I realized I really wanted to get Logan Grimnar and my new Long Fangs pack in the list.
Here is what I have come up with,
HQ: Logan Grimnar
HQ: Wolf Priest on a Bike
HQ: Wolf Guard Battle Leader on a Bike with a Frost Blade
Troops:
Grey Hunters x10 with 2x Melta-guns, the Mark of the Wulfen, Power Weapon, and Wolf Standard
Grey Hunters x5 with a Plasma Gun, mounted in a Razorback with Twin-linked Lascannon
Blood Claws x7 with a Flamer, and Power Weapon mounted in a Rhino Transport
The Wolf Guard
1. Terminator with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
2. Terminator with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
3. Terminator with Combi-Plasma and Power Weapon
4. Terminator with Combi-Plasma and Power Weapon
5. Terminator with Combi-Plasma and WolfClaw
6. Terminator with Combi-Plasma and Power Fist
7. Bike, Power Fist and Combi-Melta
8. Combi-Melta and WolfClaw
9. Combi-Melta and Power Fist
10.Storm Bolter and Power Fist
Elite: Wolf Scouts x5 with 2x Power Weapons, Melta-gun, and Melta-bombs
Fast Attack: Swift Claw Bikers x3+1, the Attack Bike has a Heavy Bolter, the Pack also has a Melta-gun and a Power Fist, the entire pack is equipped with Melta-bombs
Heavy Support: 6x Long Fangs with 5x heavy bolters, the Pack leader has a Power Weapon.
the list as written comes in at 1983, so I still have 17 points to mess with.
I usually list the Wolf Guard with their respective packs, but with Logan and all the Terminators, the actual configuration changes a lot from game to game.
For Example, in one game I had Logan attached to the Long Fangs to give them relentless, with one of the Assault Cannon Termies attached to the large Grey Hunter Pack. In another game, I put both Assault Cannon Termies in the same pack and had Logan Lead them in order to give them Tank Hunter all game.
The flexibility this pack and Logan gives to my list is a huge bonus.
I don't plan on winning all of my games, but I certainly think that this list will be fun to play.
I will get some pictures posted of the completed Long Fangs as soon as, well, I finish painting them...

Some quick pre-Nova pics
Well, I finished my new display base. Nothing too fancy, but it is a step up from my last board.
Above you can see the army arrayed on my new board. Sorry the picture is so dark, I will take better ones once I am at the Nova and post as part of my coverage of that event.
Above are a couple of close ups of my army on the board. Above you can see my new Wolf Priest next to my Wolf Lord, Thorgrimm with his Thunder Hammer, ready to bash some heads. My Wolf Lord is really starting to show his age, and I need to make a new one, but I am out of time. Maybe for the Mechanicon.
Next up you can see my new Wolf Scouts in the picture below.
I really like the conversion work on these guys, simple but quite effective. I feel the paint job was a little rushed, but added the tattooing in an effort to hide some of the short cuts I took on the skin tones. I have high hopes for these guys...
Finally a WIP of my Long Fang pack.
So far so good, hopefully I will get these guys done in a week or two so I can get some Heavy Bolter action on the board with Logan Grimnar.
Well that's it for now. I am charging up my camera, so intend to take lots of pictures at the Nova. Hopefully I will have some good coverage for you guys.

What's next?
Too many projects and not enough hours in the day.
I have been hard at work on my Space Wolves, having just finished a new Wolf Scout pack, and my Wolf Priest for the upcoming Nova Open, I am working on a new display board for the army as well.
(I'm going to try and post some pictures tomorrow)
What's next? well in no particular order we have:
1. Dust Tactics, I have to finish my game board and get some terrain done in time for the revised Core game release.
2.
I have my Khorne Berserker army that I started over a year ago, I have about 40 Berserkers assembled and I bought 3 Land Raiders that are still in the shrink wrap. This is a very tempting project, but I may wait until after the 1st of the year to see if we get a new Chaos Marine book for 40k
3.
Grey Knights, I currently have a box of Terminators, a Dreadnought, and a Storm Raven to start this project. The idea I have for this army is to do a small army with little to no conversion work, just try and concentrate on a good paint job.
4.
Then of course there is my Scout army. I have already started this force, which is going to be a 500 point army for those occasional small combat patrol type tournaments, quick pick-up games, and campaign play.
5. And finally, more Space Wolves. I will probably be painting more Wolves right up to the Mechanicon, but I tend to change my mind alot.
As you can see, I have way too much on my table, and this doesn't even include the Deathwing squads I started and haven't painted yet, or the 4 Battalion boxes of IG and tanks to add to my Imperial Guard army.
I think I need an extra set of hands...
