Post Post Post Post! - YAY!

I've been trying to write this for a couple days.  Work has been crazy, birthday this last Wednesday, and then not feeling awesome a day after the birthday.  If you know me - lactose is my enemy and I paid for it with some ranch.  Damn you!!!

So with that - lets get to posting.
Paint List
Me
BOLS article - got an idea - maybe it will be good.
Art for logo thing - drawn need to tweak
Art for Adepticon Team that I do for a group of guys every year - need to redraw
Build/paint another 3 bikes for LVO army if I want to have different looking stuff  -
Maybe tweak some Dark Angel bikes using knife and pain

Carl
Finish more bikes!  I am not far away from the basic bikes then a bunch of attack bikes.  Looking to get a lot knocked out this weekend

Luis
More Iron hands - got 11 sitting on the paint tray - 5 done 6 of them left out of that batch

Nick
More bikers to do and maybe Tau later on

Don
Some random stuff - will pull out soon as I get out of bike apocalpyse

Kiser
Techpriest - done
2 Sisters - primed
Some tank thingies and I think more sisters?

Who knows what else - I got people asking me to do stuff - maybe some daemons - maybe some other things - will see.

Played a local 3 round ITC event with my initial LVO list.

WS CAD / Knights Baronial

Tech Marine, Bike, Conversion, Hunters Eye
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Meltagun X 2
Bikes X 3, Meltagun X 2

Baronial Court
Double Gun Knight, Battlecannon, Ironstorm thingie rocket (cheaper one)
Warden Knight, Ironstorm thingie rocket
Warden Knight, Ironstorm Thingie rocket

RD 1 - Foot Nids
Guy wasn't feeling well and we have played this match up before. I ended up stomping things away and the ignore cover conversion beamer kills malanthropes pretty good.  He quit on me and it sucked cuz I didn't know how rough my army was coming in.  I should have brought something easier as it was a more fun event - my bad on this one.

RD 2 - Marine formations - Skyhammer, Cents in pod, some white scars etc
This one had my knights weather all the shooting first turn, then kill both sets of Devs first turn.  Survive the next batch of centurions and then my stuff comes in, ignores cover and shoots things.  I just shot things all day killing anything that I saw.  Barrage did a lot of wounds, just didn't kill stuff :(.  Still I think it works.  No Knights died.  Ended rd 4 with a table.

RD 3 - War Convocation
Round 1 - Baron survived the Haywire shots with 1 Hull point - I killed everything that came including the pods.  Next round the Baron died to the drop in Grav guys - I think killed all of them leaving 1 knight and some dudes across the field.  Player conceded.

Overall the army worked well - the bikes helped out, I had enough guns to do what I wanted and the Tech marine pulled some nonsense with down range ignore cover shooting.  Strength 10, AP 1 is a bit rough when you can get it.  You can kill those guys hiding in the back field.

I ended up winning as I maxed each round.  I won the random prize to so enh... good times.  Paid for most of a Culexus assassin with the prize so not too bad.

Overall I liked the army and played another test game versus a Wolf Star with White Scars.

Played this
Tech Marine, Bike, Conversion, Hunters Eye
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Meltagun X 2, Attack Bike MM

Baronial Court
Knight Warden, Ironstorm
Knight Warden, Ironstorm
Knight Warden, Ironstorm

Round one - I started to barrage out doggies.  And put wounds on the Command squad and Chapter Master.  His Centurions came in, landed a bit off and I was able to get a charge off with a Knight to remove them all.  After that I just put wounds on the big blob and started to kill off stuff.  Chapter master died to an exploding Knight as he got taken out by 2 Iron Priests and a WGBL.  No 6's were rolled for the Stomps and one on the Sword attacks that ate a poor doggie.  Once I killed the Chapter Master we called it as I could just kill everything on the board between 2 knights and a bunch of Objective Secured Bikes.

So far the list I want to bring for LVO looks like.

Tech Marine, Bike, Conversion, Hunters Eye
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Grav Gun X 2
Bikes X 3, Meltagun X 2
Bikes X 3, Meltagun X 2

Baronial Court
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon upgrade, Ironstorm
Knight Warden, Ironstorm
Knight Warden, Ironstorm

I need to see if having the one set of Battle Cannons is worth it.  I think it might be but who knows.  The Meltaguns are enh but there are times you want to just murder a Drop pod and these guys will do it.

Will see if I get another test game or two - I want to try out Gerantus to see if he works out and is something worth wile to add in.  Will see.

Here are some stuffs.

Did some quick Kingdom death stuff for BOLS.

Bikers for Carl - getting there.

My new bikers for my Armies - utilized as Grav gun bikes or Meltagun bikes for KDK - got this KDK idea but I need another thirster.

Walking Tech marine with  Conversion beamer - Idea is to use him with some Centurions to split fire off with the beamer. I had random bits left over after conversions.  If someone wants him shoot me an email.

Iron hands - more incoming next post.

Almost did the Post Weekly!

Woohoo - this weekend was a bit of a wash due to Mother in Law being in, wife having a rough week with the baby (cute little bugger is dancing to the Ramons right now), as well as the work week being long.  It meant no real artwork done due to the time frame but I have some from last week to throw down.  I got a few things to do this week too art wise so hopefully I can get it done.

Let's do a paint list
Me
Drop Pod 5 - primed the old one again to paint up to match the others.
Build 20 Purifiers at some point
Noise Marine Art
2 More pieces of Art for Luis
Art for Caleb for an army idea
Maybe something else?

James L
Heldrake - should be almost done tonight then this lot is done!

Tim
6 Black Knights
1 Speeder

John
12 Bikers of the Dark Angel

Carl
More bikers of the grey marine type

Will
More Chaos stuff

Luis
Drop pod X 2
more necromunda stuffs.

I am sure other stuff too - but I always work.

I am pretty much screwed this month with 40k events due to baby stuff.  So many people have kids in this time frame... that means that people were having some winter holiday action going on.  Woohoo!

But if I was going to play here are the lists I would throw out with.

List 1 - CSM CAD/Crimson Slaughter Ally/KdK CAD

CSM CAD
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Cultists X 10
Cultists X 10

Crimson Slaughter Ally (Works cuz of how the book is written but who knows)
Sorcerer, Bike, Lvl 3, Force Axe, Spell Familiar
Cypher
Cultists X 10

KDK
Chaos Lord, Juggernaut, Sigil, Powerfist, Lightning Claw
Chaos Lord, Juggernaut, Big Bad Axe of Doom - Warlord
Cultists X 8
Cultists X 8
Flesh Hounds X 15
Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heldrake, Baleflamer

1850pts

Basically a big blob of dumb with all the rules that make it dumb.  It has some immunities to Grav guns due to its 6+ armor save nature etc.  Plus it has a Warlord that is hard to get rid of if the tithe starts working.  If Tau ignore a ton of cover then he isn't worth it but it is an idea.  Plus it has a ton of magic.  It might be good to have Force Staves in hopes to pop a WK but who knows.  The big squad will generate blood tithe as it kills stuff.  The dragons too.

List 2 - Dual Knight Star

SW Fenris Detachment
WGBL, Thunder, SS, PFist, Runic
Rune Priest, Bike, Lvl 2, Runic
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 3

Dark Angels Ally
Librarian, Lvl 2, Bike
Ravenwing Command Squad X 5, Apocathery
Scout X 5

Knight Detachment
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon
Knight Crusader, Battlecannon

1850pts

This is what I played at War-games Con with mind magic added.  It seems to help out in those match ups where making a Knight invisible might be really strong.  I didn't try to add in a Dark Shroud due to the preroll 2+ not having in ITC stuff.

List 3 - Super Duper Sharing Friends

Dark Angels CAD
Sammie - Warlord
Librarian, Bike, Lvl 2
Ravenwing Command X6, Apocathery
Scouts X 5
Scouts X 5

Clan Raccon Ally
Chapter Master, Bike, Art Armor, PFist, Gorgon's Chain
Command Squad, SS X 3, Grav Gun X 3, Bikes
Scouts X 5

Fenris Champs
WGBL, Thunder, Runic, PFist, SS
Rune Priest, Runic, Bike, Lvl 2
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4
Iron Priest, Thunder, Cyber X 4

1850pts

Another super friends combo.  Things that start to get nutty - one Unit is Sammie, CR Chapter Master, CR Command Squad, Rune Priest, Iron Priest.  The other is the Ravenwing Command, WGBL, Iron Priest, Libbie.  With the Dark Shroud near them - the Dark Angels get Shroud which transfers to the unit - thus the CR Command now has a 2+ Jink Save as well.  Plus they all get Skilled Rider.  It is a pretty nutty list too haha.  Just too big moving blogs of annoyance.

GK/BA List I am building

BA Flesh Tearers
Mephiston
Libbie, Lvl 2, Force Axe, Meltabomb
Tactical Squad X 5, Meltagun, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
Assault Squad X 5, Meltagun X 2, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
Drop Pod
Drop Pod
Drop Pod

GK Nemesis Detachment
Libbie, Lvl 3, Big bad book of one more spell
Libbie, Lvl 3
Strike Squad x 5
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4, Daemonhammer
Purifiers x 10, Incinerator X 4, Daemonhammer

This is a weird one - it might work.  Either way it looks good and gets me to make a bunch of Drop Pods.  Which of course will make me do more drop pods too for the other random army with Drop Cents.  Meh it is just a weird no cover nova nonsense.

Might try to get to an event this Sunday.  Will have to play it by ear.  If I did I would probably do the 2 knight list cuz I like stomping around with the Knights.  I don't think the new Tau thing is the best - but using it as an anti assault star unit with massed stomps from 2 guys might be good.

Models/art etc.

Goatboy's Monday - Day off means Paint day!

And art day!  Hooray!  Painting models and other things on a day off.  Yup yup yup.  So let's see... let's do the paint list real quick - then army lists for LVO.

Me.
Plastic Dudesmen - No idea right now... people want me to make fun of the Financial stuff... but... blargh.
Article - Nid list discussion already written cuz I am in boss mode
Daemonettes - Wyches based - Need to finish a unit off
Daemonettes - Normal Daemonettes - Need to paint these too.
Daemonettes - A 3rd set - got one built will do the others like this.
That should do it for me.

Mike N
Dakkajet - Done!

Luis P
Tactical Marines X 10 - Need to build
Random Model that came in a bag - Done!
Who knows other stuff too most likely

Travis
Warcaster - Primed

I am sure there is more - will see.  Plus some art as usual.

Armylist for LVO - what should I play?

CSM - Black Legion/Orks

HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Spell Familiar, Veteran of the Long War, Last Memory
HQ: Sorcerer, Lvl 3, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Spell Familiar, Veteran of the Long War

FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
FA: Chaos Spawn X 5, MoN
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer

1745 on the nose.  This is an odd one - it just seems more fun.  I won't win a lot with it - but still.  It has lots of bodies, Orks, and uses my cool Spawn models.  Plus I can have my Warboss run around with some Lootas that hang off the back end of em.

Woohoo - Marines idea it is super dumb though.

Codex: Iron Hands / Codex Space Marines Iron Hands

HQ: C:IH - Chapter Master, Bike, Chain, Thunder Hammer, Art Armor
HQ: C:IH - Chapter Master, Bike, Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer, Art Armor

Troops: C:SM:IH - Bikes X 5, Grav Gun X 2
Heavy: C:IH - Thunderfire Cannon
Heavy: C:IH - Thunderfire Cannon
Fortification: Firestorm Redoubt

So this is just a dumb idea - it comes, it hurts, and it has lots of annoyances.  The Firestorm is there to shoot lasers in the sky at stuff.  So crazy looking hahaha.

Daemons/CSM - Black Legion

HQ: LoC, Exalted Gift, Greater Gift, Lvl 3
HQ: LoC, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3

Troops: Daemonettes X 20, Instrument
Troops: Daemonettes X 20, Instrument
Troops: Daemonettes X 20, Instrument
Troops: Cultists X 10
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer

Simple, small - should be easy to fly around with and look decent enough.  Still I need to paint a lot of Daemonettes.  Cuz I hate myself haha.

Daemons - Straight Slaanesh

HQ: DP, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3
HQ: DP, Wings, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3

I have written this one before - it just seems decent - and looks slick.  Still - the weird combo ones just look good too!  Jerks!

Inq/DA

HQ: Xenos Inq, Servo Skulls X 3, Power Armor, Psyker, Rad Grenades, Psychotroke Grenades
Digital Weapons

Troops: DA Scouts X 5, Sniper Rifles X 5, Camo Cloaks
FA: DA Black Knights X 5

1747

This is one of those - find all your fun LR's and go to town.  You could drop on of the LRC's for a regular one to give you some Lascannon power.  Still it looks nutty - and could win games.  You move in a brick and roll those dice.


Model and art.

Final Propaganda for LVO!  Woohoo!

Some banner art.

A nice Ork thinking about Ork things.

Ghaz is unhappy with his Car insurance quote!

Dakka all over yer face!

Cannon coming soon.

He has a gift for you - it is death!

BANE KNIGHTS!

I am not dead! I am just trying to mentally catch up

I made it back from Feast fine.  I did crappy but I brought a Dbag list and I should have just gone with something fun.  To keep it short - I played two games where I didn't roll forewarning.  Yup tried to roll it 9 times the first time and then all 13 the second time.  Same player too as he was in my bracket.  I did not win the first one and said screw it on the second because I would know how it would roll out.  I know you are saying a 3++ is still good - but if the grim fails you are dead and I don't have much hope after that.  Plus I thought the list sucked.

This leads me into other ideas and other discussions from feast.  Shit I am sad to say there might need to be some kind of comp.  I am not sure what, but something.  A lot of these super lists are not that fun to play too.  The fun part comes from meeting friends, talking, and hanging out.  It is something I see the entire time I am there.  And thank goodness Nick kick some assed and won with an unconventional Eldar list.  It had weird choices but they still did the same thing - throw lots of quality bullets constantly and have the ability to movement.  All the things good armies need.  I am just glad Nick didn't use a combo Tau but meh.  I need to figure out a list I like better.  Just something to play because the combo shit I don't need.  Screw that.  I am tired of having to roll specific spells to win and so I need something more solid.

Ideas that were thrown around - Ork/Crons as I like Orks and have the right small Cron build.  I just need to decide if the Court or Obryon is worth it.  I think I just need to make one and test him out.  The ability to do all sorts of things is extremely powerful and the more options I have the better I feel I play.  I also like this Marine/Tau list that is brewing but man... Tau just cheat.  Fuckers.  Lists after my paint list for the week.  I am back and moving into the swing of things.  I got paid for some stuff that is coming in plus a ton of small orders are adding up.  They just like me to be busy hahaha.

Me.
Figure out list - decided if I want to paint, go with the Goats, or what not.  Marines/Tau with Goats and Angry Tau sound hilarious
Plastic Dudesmen - Pieces done, script in.  It is a very simple idea and I think it will be good.  Meh I had people tell me they like it and love the dumb IG guy. 
Frontline Art - Color Night Lord, Color DE, Draw Gold Dude, Draw something else probably
Rob Daemon - Working on a big grouping of art to make one big banner.  I got parts done.
Caleb - Coupons!
Other art to do too.  I got burned by doing some art and not getting paid.  Makes me mad... Art is a different byproduct for me over minis and I don't nearly have the time to work on it as I do painting models.  So wasting time sucks ass. Makes me mad damnit even though it was for very little scratch.

Luis
10 Flesh Tearers Tact Marines - Done!
1 Dreadnought - Started!
More Flesh Tearers - I think Mesphiston - In pieces!

Zach
Steel Legion Fun - Advisors, Marbo, Test Guy - Done!
4 Other guys for the Test guy above - Need to Build!
2 Mortars - Need to get from FW
Vendetta - Need FW upgrade kit
Manticore - Need to get from Frontline!

Will
Fateweaver - Got him based, need to prime might get done on Sunday as a yay paint time
10 Fleshhounds - In a box - need to rebase
DP's - I think in the box - need to pull out and look at more

Don
4 Heralds of Tzeentch on Disc - Need to get some basing stuff on them done right - but then I can paint these old ass models.  They Look rad!
2 Heralds of Tzeentch on Foot - Waaah?  Old metal jerks but they look cool.  Will be fun.
Art for shirt - Soon!  Probably next week.

Travis
Huge Cryx Army - deposit has been paid so this is coming in.  Look for stuff starting in a few days as I split my time between all of these.  I like to keep busy eh?

And of course I have others coming in too.  A small Nurgle batch and other small things.  If you didn't know I don't mind doing small orders.  It keeps things fresh most of the time inbetween my big orders and bigger clients.  Plus the art is always nice.  It gets crazy at times but.. well I don't think I would like it any other way.

So those lists I talked about.  Currently messing with the following.

CSM/Crons
HQ: Typhus
Troops: Zombies X 25
Troops: Zombies X 25
Troops: Zombies X 25
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
FA: Heldrake, Baleflamer
Heavy: Obliterators X 3, Veterans of the Long War, MoN
HQ: Overlord, Warscythe
HQ: Court - Voltaic Staff Dude, Teleport Dude
Troops: Immortals X 10, Telsa, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe
Heavy: Annihilation Barge

It is in my box.  It seems alright.  The Oblits might need to get dumped out for 2 Mauler Fiends but I don't have them anymore as I sold some.  Blargh!  That is the only thought or the only real change I would look at.

Orks/Crons
HQ: Warphead
HQ: Warphead
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
Troops: Shoota Boyz X 30, Rokkits X 3
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
FA: Dakkajet, Supa Shoota, Fighta Ace
HQ: Necron Overlord, Warscythe, Mindshackle, Weave
HQ: Court - Voltaic Staff, Teleport
Troops: Immortals X 10, Telsa, Night Scythe
Troops: Warriors X 5, Night Scythe

Yeah boring but it starts boring and goes from here.  It has some tricks, can shoot the eff out of stuff and just be a pain.  Tau will probably kill it, but yeah shooting that much dakka into Broadsides would be fun.

Or I go Marines/Tau - Ironhands

HQ: Chapter Master, Bike, Artificer Armor, The Shield Eternal, Thunder Hammer
HQ: Master of the Forge, Bike, Conversion Beamer
Troops: Bikes X 8, Grav Gun X 2, Combi-Grav
Troops: Scouts X 10, Camo Cloaks, Sniper Rifles
Troops: Tactical Squad X 10, Rhino, Plasmagun
FA: Storm Talon, Skyhammer
Heavy: Thunderfire Cannon
HQ: Commander, Puretide Chip, Command and Control Node, Multi-Spectrum, Iridium Battlesuit, Retro-Thursters
Elite: Riptide, Early Warning Override
Troops: Fire Warriors X 5, Devilfish, Smart Missile System
Heavy: Broadsides X 3, Drones X 6, Shas'vre, Target Lock X 3

Idea was to make a Highlander list with things that did good.  I have lots of goofy options and the Tau Toolbox commander to activate all kinds of junk. But Eff... it is Tau.  Blargh ass!  That is what I say.  Still it looks all over the place but it is good.  Think about it as you look at all the parts.  Lots of ways to get strong templates, lots of ways to ignore high toughness and cover by joining things.  It seems good.  Meh.  Painting Angry Tau would be fun.

Ok - models to look at and Art.  Fun times as usual. 

Dragon for me!

More Flesh Tearers.

More Steel Legion - Advisors!

Frontline Art - Few more to come too!

Ender from Wrecking Crew.

Goatboy - Crap I need to submit my list to Feast.

Blargh - didn't get a chance to play this weekend.  I built my buddies Wraith Knight and gave him two swords and set up the Bright Lances differently.  I still think Screamer Star is the key for my tiger victory - the issue is paint the started on conversion of a 3rd Grinder or find something else.  I do wish it was 2000 points hahah.  Blargh - list below then some marine thoughts to go with the ideas on my Monday BOLS.

Marines - like Eldar - better players will do well with them - new players will get frustrated.  New players - Tau will win you more games initially.  Daemons are the aggressive players dream while Eldar and Marines are finesse.  Tau are point in click - thus extremely deadly in good players hands.  Will see what Nids do.  Chaos can win still - but that list is extremely boring.  Two avenues - big smash or Zombies and friends.  Blargh indeed.  Can't wait for Orks as all the rumors sound bonkers.  Bonkers I saw.

What should I play my Goats as for Marines - White Scars seem to be the best representation - maybe Iron Hands as well.  Those are the only two that seem to point to anything worth wile.  I would have to convert Centurions out of Minotaurs as that is the only thing that would fit size wise - but man that is a lot of armor I would have to build, figure out, etc.  Maybe I can make Juggernauts standing up.  That is an idea - I think I have a kit or two laying around.  MATH!

Ok - paint list then army lists.

Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Last week was a hoot - got a Graviton gun idea that is both crude and goofy.  Will see if I can get the funny worked out of it.
Banner Art for Friendly 40k - Art below! Done sucka!
GUO art for an army list - Done sucka!
Ambulance Art for another thingie - Done need to build the actual banner part
Art for big Banner for WhiteMetal Games - Got the idea - need to get it on paper
Art for Endless games logo - got the idea - didn't like initial sketch - will rework it to make it more metal
Art for another logo thingie - got the idea - need to get it on paper
Maybe a new Grinder?
Dark Mechanicus Designs?

Zack
Death Krop Steel Legion
10 Man squad - Done!
3 Hvy Weapon Team - Done!
5 Man Command - Done!

Ender
Obyron - can't spell - but he is Done!
5 Immortals - Built
1 Trukk - on a sprue not in a box!

John
2 Thunderfire Cannons - 1 is Done - tomorrow I build the next - Boss mode achieved!

Luis
Pull out LOTR - start on plastic Elves as there are many and I want to paint me some elves!  Green sucka mcs!

I need to pack my army soon for Feast as a buddy is driving early.  So I need to decide.  What should I play?  Grinders give me a wall of things that a lot of armies can't assault (rules say you can't assault a vehicle you can't hurt - thus keeping my star intact vs some builds).  Is that worth it?  It s a cleaner looking list.  Or do I go with the weaker troop choices and show horn 2 DP's in?  I think 3 Grinders will be alright and give me some fun times deep striking near Tau and burninating them.

Current List - need to paint one more grinder and some Daemonettes for Portal Daemons.  Might use some reused wood dryads I have and paint them with more purples... man that is a good idea damnit.

I could drop a Grinder for 3 Plague Drones with an upgraded Plague dude with the Balesword - a quick answer to Riptides - Fast and gets into business.  That isn't a terrible idea as they have an Icon so the Grinders can hit where I need them to behind the Screamers.  Crap... that is not to terrible.  Plus it looks weird, gives me odd answers to things.  And if I Grim them they can kill DP's as well.  Hrm... shit that isn't a bad idea.  I might have answered what I wanted to do.

FA: Plague Drones X 3, Plague Ridden, Greater Gift, Icon of Chaos

Ding ding - I think we have a winner.  Muahahaha!

I got a little mobile annoying platform and basically have all the casters I could every want?  It is an idea.  The other thought would be to get a Black Legion DP with the Eye and 10 cultists.  That isn't too terribad either.  He is level 4 basically so Telepathy might not be a terrible idea.  Blargh he runs like.

Marine list thoughts will be coming.  I am thinking of writing an article on Monday about what the Goats should be.  Should they be one of the new listed chapters.  Blargh...  Ideas?

Models and Art.

He is all like - where you at dawg on his cell phones!

I like Thunderfire Cannons - they will be in and out of the Metagame.

The tricks this guy can pull.

More dudes!  They be clubbin!

Slow dancing for the Fun of it!

Does this smell bad to you?

Weewoo Weewoo - Medic on the way!
