2. Needs more range

3. Living lightning rocks

4. Wolf Guard Battle leader is not needed

BIV Result and moving on

First up I didn't do well. It was accentually my worse result ever. 6th last, 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses.

I was going to take pictures but forgot my camera and since I was playing a joke army I enjoyed myself on Friday and Saturday nights a bit too much and was really in no condition to play either day.

So now its on to Space Wolves

Getting 1500 Points ready for Let Gosford Burn on May 30, here's the list

Rune Priest

8 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Power Fist

Rhino

6 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Power Fist

Razor Back, Twin Linked Las Cannon

6 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Power Fist

Razor Back, Twin Linked Las Cannon

6 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Power Fist

Razor Back, Twin Linked Las Cannon

Dreadnought, Assault Cannon, CCW, Heavy Flamer

Dreadnought, Assault Cannon, CCW, Heavy Flamer

Dreadnought, Multi Melta, CCW, Heavy Flamer

Predator, Auto Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolter

Predator, Auto Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolter

Predator, Auto Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolter

Lots of cost effective units. 10 Piece of armour at 1500 should cause some headaches for most people, along with CC, tank sniping and shot volume this should do well. Now just to paint it.

The other good part is that its easy to upgrade it to 1750 or 2000 points with a land raider and more grey hunters or downgrade to 1250 or 1000 points.

Next project is Khorne Space Marines, its shaping up as

Kharne

Daemon Prince w/Wings

24 Khorne Berserkers

16 Lesser daemons

2 Rhinos

1 Land Raider

3-6 Bikers

Vindicator

Predator

Greater Daemon

Battle in The Vines - A Tournament Prep Guide

This weekend is the annual BiV tournament in the Hunter Valley. Heres a quick checklist

1. The Army

101 Marines - Ready to go, make sure your list is something you can paint in time.

2. The Extras

Measuring Tape, Glue, Templates, Dice, Codex, Rule Book, at least 1 copy of your army list for each opponent, 1 for the organizer, 1 for you and a few spare, Objective markers, damage markers, smoke markers

3. Transport and Accommodation

DO THIS EARLY. Check the Venue work out how your going to get there with plenty of time and if you need to stay find somewhere early as cheap accommodation will fill quickly a lot of the time.

4. Stuff to Sell - Bring and Buy

I am using this as an opportunity to clean out my garage. I have almost $2000 worth of GW merchandise up for sale.

5. Water, Snacks, Beer.

If your getting a lift taking your own snacks will save you a lot of time and money. As I am doing this trip on the cheap myself and a few friends are also taking our own booze instead of buying it up there.

Drink plenty of water you will be doing a lot of talking.

League - Round 1 - The List

750 Points

Codex: Space Wolves

Rune Priest - Jaws, Lightning, Chooser of the Slain

10 Grey Hunters - Power Fist, 2 Melta Guns

Rhino

10 Grey Hunters - 2 Plasma Guns

5 Grey Hunters - Power Fist, Melta Gun

Rhino

Dreadnought - Plasma Cannon, Heavy Flamer

New Plan

Last week I had an epiphany. I started by looking at the Raptors army I wanted to build. I realised something obvious. I could do the same army better with space wolves.

Then I bought the new BA Codex. Yes it has some nice stuff. Death Company Dreadnoughts, Sanguinary Priests, Baal Predators all caught my eye. But I still like my wolves better.

So with Battle in the Vines coming up this weekend having a bring and buy I decided it was time to clear everything I'm not using. I have a bunch of models set aside for different projects that I'm thinking of maybe doing sometime in the future. So I'm selling a heap. Probably 80% of my models. Why? So that I can Finish space wolves and then try a different project.

This brings me to Projects.

1. Space Wolves

2. Warhound Scout Titan - Scratch Built

3. Something Else. Something Different, Will wait till the wolves are finished first
