Really? New content a week?

Wow, has it really come to a post a week?
I feel like one of those webcomics that only post their shit once a week just to build suspense. I feel that as a blogger, 40k player, and gamer I should be up to the task of doing more on this blog, but somehow it's always at the back of my mind not really playing a part. Which is rather unfortunate, since stuff really happens around me that I have something to say about.
Well, I can tell you, stuff has been happening, new, old, worthless and exciting stuff. So on this day I pledge to do more on this blog, not just for myself, but for you people, because really that's what it's about, giving you people the thoughts and entertainment you not only want but deserve. On that note lets get to it.
Let's start with tournies. So July 25th was a tournament day at my local game store, a kill-teams tournament with rules the T.O. had been working on for weeks. This tournament is significant because it's most likely my last at this store for a while. For my kill-team I opted to use a Space Wolves venerable Dreadnought, and he worked pretty well at killing things. How well you ask? Well, each player at the end of the tournament tallied up how many of the G.M's. squads they killed, most got about four or five. I got 24. Really, it came down to the third round(out of four) where the GM was able to immobilize the Dreadnought and assault it in close combat, seeing that he was next to a spawning pool, they just kept coming and coming. To hit they needed a 4+ on a regular die, and to harm the Dreadnought they needed a 6. So at the end of the third round I was up to 19 kills, and I have to say it was one of the most fun and funny rounds I've ever been in.

Going in order of what happened a very important and big game hit soon after that tournament, Star Craft 2. To put it bluntly, I didn't get the game, nor will I get it. One reason I will not is, if you read my earlier post, Blizzard works with Activision and I absolutely refuse to support Activision in any way. Another reason, the bigger reason is that after waiting four years for this, I was no longer hyped or looking forward to the game. FOUR YEARS. The first trailer hit when I was a freshmen in high school, and I was excited then I agreed with the guy, "Hell, it's about time." And if it hit like a year or so after that trailer, I'd be fine with it, but four years is a long time to wait for a game. So no, Star Craft 2, you're probably going to be good, but I'm not going to put 60 bucks down for you.

So, going to 40k, I was browsing the forge world site when I came across experiment rules for something called the Caestus assault ram(see pic above), and it's pretty interesting. The armor value for the front and side armor is 13, rear is ten; It's a fast skimmer tank, can move 36 inches all out, is immune to two melta dice, with an 18 inch small blast melta gun, is an assault vehicle with ten models; all for the price of 235 points. Now ten models may seem to be a small amount, but when it says ten models, it means ten models, terminators count as one model, so you can have ten terminators in this thing, which can be pretty nifty.
So here's a list I was thinking about with this thing,

Wolf Lord-170 pts
*Thunder Wolf-45 pts
*Power Weapon-15 pts
*Wolftooth Necklace-10 pts

Canis Wolfborn-185 pts

10 Wolf Guard-481 pts
*2 Power Weapons-20 pts
*Power Fist-20 pts
*2 Storm Bolter-6 pts
*Caestus Ram-235 pts

4 Thunder Wolf Cav.-200 pts
4 Thunder Wolf Cav.-200 pts

10 Grey Hunters-220 pts
*Power Fist-25pts
*2 Plasma Guns-10pts/free
*Drop Pod-35 pts

10 Grey Hunters-215 pts
*Power Fist-25 pts
*Melta Gun-5 pts
*Plasma Gun-free
*Drop Pod-35 pts

6 Long Fangs-175 pts
*Heavy Bolter-5 pts
*Missile Launcher-10 pts
*Plasma Cannon-20 pts
*2 Lascannons-50 pts

So, what's the orientation for this list? Simple, close range fire fights and assaults. I'm a huge fan of Thunder Wolves, so I have no intention of giving those up, but I felt that regular wolf guard don't get much love, so what better way to use them then in a 36 inch a turn tank which they could assault out of with 39 attacks on the charge, 8 being power weapon attacks, 3 being power fist attacks. I needed some Anti-tank, so I put in a long fang squad with 2 lascannons, as well as some nasty fire-power for the Grey hunters, as anyone who knows me knows I prefer Grey hunters over Blood claws. I'm pretty sure this list can tear through most infantry pretty easily if use correctly.

Anyway, that's it for now, check back later for some more content hopefully.
Yours,
