Goatboy's 40k Extra Thoughts: Im Alive

Man - LVO was fun - I did really bad but hey that is life. Not practicing isn't good - neither is barely playing because of my boy and make sure the wife has time off from him. Oh well - that is life right haha. But I have another tournament next weekend in Dallas - Railhead Rumble. I should do alright and I plan on bringing Marines + Space Wolves. I need something different and until I get Crons or Orks working I need to play something not Chaos like.

List I submitted is

Space Marines aka White Scars aka Goat Scars plus Company of the Great Wolf Detachment

HQ: Chapter Master, Bike, Art Armor, Pfist, Auspex, Shield Eternal
HQ: Chaplain, Bike, Meltabombs
HQ: Command Squad, Bikes, Meltabombs X 4, Grav Guns X 4, Apoc
Troops: Scouts X 10, Combi-Grav, Meltabomb
Troops: Scouts X 10, Combi-Melta, Meltabomb
Heavy: Centurion Devastators X 3, Grav Cannon/Amp X 3, Omni Scope

HQ: Wolf Guard Battle Leader, Runic Armor, PF, Storm Shield, Thunder Wolf
HQ: Rune Priest, Lvl 2, Meltabomb, Runic Armor
Elite: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Cyber Wolves X 4
Elite: Iron Priest, Thunder Wolf, Cyber Wolves X 4
FA: Drop Pod
FA: Drop Pod

I have this almost entirely painted thus all the random Meltabombs everywhere. I had to get points etc. Who knows if this will work alright - but it looks alright. I can start the huge unit of death on the table and everyone else comes in. I wish I had more scouts - but I only have 20 painted. BAH! Will write up some stuff about the games. I will play all of them and lose like a boss.

Another idea that might be better. Plus it doesn't use White Scars. It is dumb as hell though

Blood Angels plus Great Wolf

HQ: Sang Priest, Bike, Meltabombs
HQ: Chaplain, Bike, Meltabombs
Troops: Scouts X 10, Meltabomb, Combi-Grav
Troops: Scouts X 10, Meltabomb, Combi-Grav

Troops: Scouts X 10, Meltabomb, Combi-Grav

HQ: Wolf Guard BL, ThunderWolf, PFist, Storm Shield, Runic Armor

Elite: Iron Priest, ThunderWolf, Cyber Wolves X 4

FA: Fenris Wolves X 15

1850

Had to go with 15 Fenris Wolves as it gives you the following super Unit.

6+ Armor Saves = 15

4+ Armor Saves = 12

2+ Armor Saves = 7

3+ Armor Saves = 2

This leaves you as a pain for Cent Star as you can cause issues for them. Plus if they teleport near - you kill the crap out of them with so many Str 10 fist punches. Plus all your guys can split up and go after all the MSU armies. Lictors everywhere - send some priests, Wolf Guard BL and other things to each thing. It might work - but those Mawlocs are gonna have a good time come up and eating stuff haha. Plus your footprint is just insanely huge which is kind of interesting. It probably doesn't work - but man it just sounds insane right?

I won't be at Adepticon. I looked at the cost, plus the cost of a mad wife and thought - screw it. It is just too hard to get there when you are not driving. It would be one thing if I had the time to blow on driving but it just costs too much. Plus - I was just at LVO. Next year I hear they might move it to April so it could be an easier sell. Just not worth it right now.

Paint list - kind of meek this week - catching up and some rush orders.
