I've seen some stuff, and done some things.

    Holy crap, I've been busy.  A lot of work and a lot of hobby time, plus a little left over for sleep and family.  The tourney I was preparing for went from 2000pt 5th ed. to 1500pt 6th edition.  Oh yeah, 6th edition came out.  It's not as close as 4th and 5th were.  In fact, there are many elements that remind me of old 2nd edition.  I haven't played a game yet, but I've read through the rules once and have begun to pick up on the subtle nuances of them.  FAQ's are out for the codexes and much of my hobby time has been spent studying rather than painting.  I'm not going to review the new edition because...I'm lazy and I don't want to.  I'm just going to go over what I now plan to bring to my first 6th edition tournament.

    My 2000pt list had everything but the kitchen sink, so I am very glad to be playing smaller games.  With the new flyer and fortification rules, I've had to plan for the worse.

HQ-a simple wolfpriest to attach to my bloodclaws.

Elites-Terminators with an assault cannon and a little bit of everything else...in a drop pod...duh.
-Wolf scouts with a meltagun to keep people on their toes.

Troops-My usual two units of 8 grey hunters.  The bloodclaws are going without Lukas this time.  the wolfpriest is a cheaper replacement.  But now with the character challenge rules...he has gotten pretty cool.  I will probably be playing him again in 1850 lists.

Heavy-Standard two units of missile longfangs.  One will be riding in a las/plas razorback.

Fortification-Aegis defense line with a quad autocannon.  I believe this will help me with flyers and give me a place to camp my longfangs.

Now, I've taken out my wolfguard with frostblades for the troop units.  I had made the list and forgotten to put the termies in a drop pod.  So rather than worry if the frostblade is an axe or sword, I got the pod and the razorback.  I think the added firepower and the aegis line with give my longfangs a little more punch. 

    I'm almost done with the wolfpriest and assault cannon terminator.  And I had the aegis line for months.  I'm glad I picked it up in hopes of making terrain out of it.  Oh yeah, and I've got a grey knight paladin army to personalise.  But thatis a tale for another day...
