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.

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.
Let's do a paint list

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.
