I apologize for the lack of posts this past week. Aside from being on call I also got really sick (not swine flu) and am just now shaking it off. Whew... Nothing is worse than sitting around doing nothing, amirite?

Good News, though, today I was promoted to the #1 guy and I got a raise, the only one to get one mwa ha ha >:). j/k... The only bad thing is that now I have to work on Saturdays, but still get Sunday plus Monday off. Not too bad, considering Saturday isn't too crazy (unless you're on call). What sucks is I can't play 40k with my homies, but I'll start playing at the Local Game Store so it's all good. It will give me more reason to get the army in fighting shape.

Speaking of which, the Chaos Daemon army is coming along nicely. I've been slow on progression, but I'm pumped to get it done now. The question remains on how and what to build. I've been looking through various GS creations and have some in mind, I just need to sit down and start designing them. Primarily I will make a few of my own Tzeentch flamers and some nurgle stuff, but my goal is to get some greater daemons done like the Lord of Change. There's a 1750 tournament coming up and I want to be ready for it.

Bah, another week on call. Don't get me wrong, the extra money is nice, but I'm missing out on a tourney with my friends lol. I hope they do well.

Tourney Rules: Two players per team, 500 points each/1000 total. Each player has to provide one HQ and one troop choice, the rest is open.

Team Name: Taste the Rainbow
Players: Hoot and Crunch
Armies: Eldar and Ork
Tactics: Hoot is running an Avatar with a group of 30 Ork boyz out in front. Meanwhile, Crunch has a battlewagon full of Burnas and a Big Mek equipped with a shield generator. For added fire power Hoot has a squad of Rangers to hinder incoming enemy advances along with a nasty bunch of Striking Scorpions in reserves. Overall it's a pretty solid list and I think they will do well.

Team Name: Mage against the Regime
Players: S2ua7 and Mike aka "Guy"
Armies: Imperial Guard and Space Marines/Blood Angels
Tactics: S2ua7 has nearly perfected his IG army including a Valkyrie, Leman Russ tank, a squad of troops, and a command squad. They have proven to be quite difficult to stop and offer a lot of offensive and defensive fire power. If that wasn't enough "Guy" has a beefy squad of assault termies and a thunderfire cannon to rain down on the opposition. Add in his snipers with Telion, they have a lot of flexibility and staying power. It will be fun to see how they do.

Both teams have different setups so it will be interesting to see how they perform against the other teams. My guess is that there will be a majority of Ork and Space Marines variations (due to the Black Reach box set).

UPDATE: Grats to "Taste the Rainbow" for having best painted :D
