More changes to the Blood Angels..
I'm really starting to enjoy playing the MSU style lists. When something dies, it's not as important anymore unlike losing a stormraven with all it's now footslogging passengers. I played the mephiston list last week and he ended up doing well, but some of that was luck (avoiding an instant-death wound from the archon). He is a huge point sink which I'm not sure I need. I'd rather have more stuff I think. So my latest iteration:
If I had the money I might go full-on MSU: 6 MSU las-plas squads, 3 dev squads with las-plas with libby and a priest that comes to roughly 1900pts leaving me some wiggle room. Can BA do MSU better then SW? No, but they can do it differently enough that they don't play the same. Grey Hunters are better then assault marines, but I can get FNP & FC. FNP devastators (especially if fearless) isn't something to discount either. Basically the SW version is better, but BA can be more survivable.
HQ: Captain, jump pack, dual lightning claws, meltabombs
HQ: Librarian, (shield and unleash rage)
Troops: 10 Assault Marines, 2x melta, fist
Troops (x2): 5 Assault Marines, power weapon, metla; Razorback, searchlight, Las-Plas
Troop: 5 Assault Marines, power weapon, Melta; Razorback, searchlight (might do HF if I can convert one up).
Troop: 6 Death company, 1 power weapon, Rhino
Elite: 2 Sanguinary High Priests, one with jump pack, both with power weapons
Fast (x2): Baal; Heavy bolters
Fast: 2 Attack Bikes, MM
Heavy: Predator; LC sponsoons, searchlight
Heavy: Devastators; 4x ML

Bucket of Orcs!
Making good progress. Everything is assembled. Black Orcs and goblins are primed. Boys are washed ready for primer.
Waiting for primer to cure, continued on the Razorback. All that is left there is the final highlighting and some detail on the storm bolter.
Also worked on the buggy driver. He does not have much left. Bought some Vallejo Model Air gunmetal metallic. Going to try the hairspray thing again, but with more contrast.

Contest day 2
Black Orcs assembled. They were a royal pain to rank up. Going to dive into boys soon, and work on some painting tomorrow.

Sleep time..

50+ models in 30 days!
OK I'm completely freaking nuts. Building, painting a 500 pt army in 30 days. I'm not talking a table-top quality army either. I want my O&G army to really, really shine. I almost didn't throw my hat in, but I'm just crazy enough to try it. I honestly don't think I'll get everything done.
The list I'm buliding:
Orc Big boss: Shield, Orge blade
19 Boyz, additional hand weapon, command
20 Night Goblins, bows
10 Black Orcs, command
Then either a troll or 2 goblin fanatics.
50+ models. New in box. 30 days. Plus 2 other things to paint as well (buggy, razorback - it's so close I might as well just finish it). I don't need sleep, right?
Yay I finally beat Dark Eldar!
..only because of how little damage my opponent could do for 3 turns.
Pretty basic mission, killpoints and pitched battle. I honestly spent like 10 minutes at first trying to figure out a deployment and movement strategy. I think I really hate playing against Dark Eldar mainly because I don't know how to play against Dark Eldar.
I'm still liking my shooty list a whole lot more then the Terminator/Stormraven style I had before. I am thinking about dropping Mephiston for a regular Librarian and more bodies. I could add another assault squad in a razorback (with heavy bolters) or more Death Company or another attack bike (I'd have to paint it though). There are a lot of things I could add with 150pts.
Oh and a treat from the game next to me..another Blood Angels vs Dark Eldar slaughterfest:
Talk about a mess!
