Falling Behind, Crapppp

Ok, so three weeks (I think that count is accurate) without a post.  To borrow the words of one of my favorite 40k characters "I recognize my failings and will seek to correct them."  Had a work trip to San Deigo, a nice break from Minnesota, but in general I hate work travel.  I know some folks who can manage painting while on work trips, but I've never been able to get that down.  Then we had a GT here in Minneapolis, the Dark Star GT.  I'll do a full write up of battles, but long story short, went 4-1 losing last round to the guy who took best general, finished 9th overall, my paint score dragging me down a little bit.  All in all a good time.  My list was:

Wolf Lord on a Thunderwolf w/ TH/SS, Runic Armor, Saga of the Bear
Rune Priest w/ Jaws & Living Lighting, Chooser of the Slain
Wolf Priest

Grey Hunters 7x (1x Meltagun, 1x Wolf Standard) + Wolf Guard w/ Fist, Combimelta; Rhino
Grey Hunters 7x (1x Meltagun, 1x Wolf Standard) + Wolf Guard w/ Fist, Combimelta; Rhino
Grey Hunters 7x (1x Meltagun, 1x Wolf Standard) + Wolf Guard w/ Fist, Combimelta; Rhino

Thunderwolf Cav 5x (2x w/ SS, 1x w/ SS/PFist)

Long Fangs 6x (5x Missile Launchers)
Long Fangs 6x (5x Missile Launchers)
Long Fangs 6x (5x Missile Launchers)

It's basically what I've been running for tournies since Adepticon last year, it works well, gets the job done.  It's SUPER light on scoring units, as the grey hunter squads get to wade into CC with the Thunderwolves.  Had a few interesting games, I'll write up a post tomorrow going over them in detail, for now I'll leave with a pic from round 1 vs Dark Eldar.
