So about that back from the dead bit....

Yeah, attempt at actually getting this blog running and functional take 2, wait....3?  Might be 4.  I'm going to take a page out of Goatboy's book here and try and do one post a week on the same day, Sunday in my case.  I'm going to try and do this for a full year, if I pull that off I might have to get myself a reward....


My current main 40k army is actually Space Wolves.  I'll get picks up next week with a little bit of luck.  I've been doing really well with them, I went 4-0 on the first day of Adepticon last year, got into the invite only on Sunday, got beaten out by the guy who ended up winning it.  They do well in my local scene as well, my build has a little bit of an issue with DE, but meh, what can you do?

I'm going to try and post a list I've been playing last week, or if there is a tourney what I played and how I did.  There was a small 1850 tournament yesterday that I came in first at.  It was 7 players counting myself (like I said small).  Since it was small, and mostly new players I didn't take my super optimized list, felt like breaking out the dual Land Raiders, here is the list:

Ragnar
Wolf Guard:
     1x w/ CMelta, Fist
     3x w/ TArmor, 2x Wolf Claws
     2x w/ TArmor, PWeapon, SShield
     1x w/ TArmor, PFist, SShield
     1x w/ TArmor, THammer, SShield
     LRC w/ MMelta, EA
Grey Hunters 5x (Flamer) w/ TL-Las Razor
Grey Hunters 5x (Flamer) w/ TL-Las Razor
Grey Hunters 9x (Melta, Standard)
Long Fangs 5x (4x Missile Launchers)
Long Fangs 5x (4x Missile Launchers)
Land Raider w/ EA

First round was kill points, kill most expensive HQ, kill most expensive unit.  I had a codex marine player (Sicarius, single land raider, some tac squads).  Immobilized his LR on the charge, he got out Sicarius by himself as I had blocked the hatches of his LR.  Sicarius eats a las cannon, LR goes down to the melta.  I jump my termies and ragnar back in their LRC and drive around for 2 turns, fairly easy game.

Second round was vs DE (lots of wytches in raiders).  A friend of mine was playing the list, sadly for him I got to deploy away from his Ravagers with the land raiders, the game ended with a ton of AT ending his boats quickly and a giant assault with Ragnar, WGuard termies, and Grey Hunters.  Tabled him on 6.

Third round was vs Tau.  It was a comedy of errors for me.  Marker lights + Fusion on fast skimmers ate my LRC.  The other raider decided that immobilizing itself behind terrain was a good idea.  The termies and large grey hunter squad got to slog through fire warrior fire, not fun.  Wolf guard and Ragnar ended up dying to fire, but the grey hunter squad was saved by a drone squad passing an LD check, followed by a 6" consolidate out of combat at the end of his turn.  The game ended in a draw and I felt fairly luck to get that given my play mistakes and the odd matchup of marker light supported fusion and rails vs land raiders.
