Stuff and stuff and more stuff.

Woot - ATC is done and that leaves me with no more events for the year.  That is better for my wallet and the wife's sanity.  Hopefully I can get some local games in and other things as I plan new lists to try and dominate some nonsense.  Right now I am currently looking at some Grey Knights with the idea to do some Thousand Sons.  One of my ATC team mates gave me some ideas and I think they just might work.  Heck it could be a benefit in this new set of 40k.

Things I learned at ATC.

Unnerfed D shots suck butt.  If the event is allowing full bore D weapons I won't waste my time.  I got paired up versus a multiple Wraith Knight list and he roll 6's.  Felt like I could do nothing at all.  Just wasn't fun.  Heck even one getting through is just crap.

Oh and multiple wraith knights suck ass too.  I won't play an event that allows more then one.  You would think Grav would be the answer but in an ATC like format - those match ups won't happen unless your captain isn't very good.

I really prefer playing my style smash lists and might have done better.  Still I think we came up with a better version to test out for regular events with a much more balanced Mixed SW/DA with more mini super unit options.

You have more options to go get objectives - can create a bunch of mini death units and it might actually work.  Plus it gives you progressive game etc.  Its a thought.

The GK thing was GK/DA/SW

Nemesis Strike Force
Librarian, Lvl 3, Librarian Thing that gives you another spell
Purifier X 10, Incinerator X 4
Purifier X 10, Incinerator X 4
Strike Squad X 5

DA Ally

Ravenwing Command Squad X 6, Banner
Scouts X 5
Dark Shroud

WGBL, Runic, Thunder Wolf, PF, SS
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4

Idea is to move up - then maybe bomb people with the pulse of purifying flame.  It might work - It does start with a fun amount of WC dice and can hit invisible things.  Plus it can hit flyers too - with a ton of 2d6 hits all over the place.

Lots of things to do actually - I never stop.  I think life should be a little bit slower and the long trip to ATC done means I have time to knock some things out.  That is the hope.
