Fackin' busy

    I have been working a shitload of overtime and generaly being lazy when I'm not.  I had finished my aegis defence line for the tourney on the 21st....

    I did much better than anticipated.  I got 5th out of 20, even after I realized I understood the rules much less than I had previously thought.  Here is the list I ended up going with...

I learned a lot, and have been driven to try and take advantage of a few of the changes.  Wound alocation for one.  I bore witness to some terrible things...  I will have to put all other hobby projects on hold though, as I am moving in a few weeks time.  So all I am working in will be my new unit for 6th edition.  I am going with skyclaws with a wolfguard and wolfpriest attached.  The wolfpriest will have runic armor and a plasma pistol.  The wolfguard will have TWO plasma pistols and mark of the wulfen.  Yeah, that guy's going to cost 78 points.  Lemme explain my thought process on this one...

-Precise shot will make the plasma have a chance of sniping imprtant models in units.
-Preferred enemy infantry will allow me to re-roll those pesky 1's for plasma.
-The skyclaws will also have mark of the wulfen, for maximum rending fun.
-I will put the wolf priest up front to use his 2+ armor save.  And when I fail one?  "Lookout sir" on a 2+.  It is cheesy as shit, but will help them live longer.
-Hammer of wrath is a bump for assault troops.
-I don't have to worry about how/when I can assault with the new transport rules.  It seems that no matter what, you have to wait a turn and take your lumps before assault.  Which makes the units that should be used for that now better.

I've also came up with an idea how to pop off heads from plastic models.  I had a grey knight head that I wanted to change.  Rather than using a pin vice and pliers to pull if out bit by bit, I came up with this...

I simply drilled a hole through the head, threaded wire into it, and pulled it right off.  The whole thing came right out.  It was so damned easy.  Well, I have to get back to building skyclaws.  I want them assembled before I have to begin packing.
