Recent Stuff and a Possible Bugeater 1850 List


Some of you might have wondered where I went and others of you might not have noticed J

Well as you guys can tell the blog has become a place where I tend to write some stuff and then disappear for a while. Not gonna apologize for it but I’m going to actively at least try to post something once every other week or so.

So in the last two months I've won best painted at a 60+ plus person GT and come in second overall. I've come in first overall in another 60+ person GT. Oh, and we won the Adepticon Team Tournament for the second year in a row. First team to ever do it back to back which is pretty sweet. I’ve personally been pretty busy outside of that getting my Adepticon personal army up and running as well as building a display board and starting on my Titan I had planned to use for the Gladiator. I’ll get some pictures up of both and you can see photos of my army over in the “Our Armies” tag.
 
I'm also trying to get something else painted for the Bugeater as I've played in 3 GT's since the end of February with the same list and my attention span is waning.

What I really wanted to do was post a list I found kinda fun and see what you guys thought. Shockingly, no IG J

Seems like fun to me. You’ve got your hit-n-run Termies in front of your opponent on turn 1. You’ve got decent horde control in the form of your thunderfires and it allows you to buff some ruins you might find in your deployment zone. The Talons will be decent air control and are nasty for stacking up wounds if your opponent doesn’t have flyers. There is a solid core of scoring Tactical marines which can still use combat tactics and that are mounted up for swift, later game deployment. And lastly two additional outflanking scoring units to grab some objectives in your opponents deployment zone. Overall I think it’s pretty solid. What do you guys think?
