Countdown to Tournament!

So even though the date hasn't been officially set, there is a tournament coming up with the Midwest Warfare group, and I have managed to do a fair bit of playtesting for it lately.  Trying out and tuning a few variations of my biker list.  Right now, I think I've got almost all the models I need.  I just have a lot of models to build and a fairly short amount of time to build them in.  Six landspeeders, and probably more than a dozen bikers.  Lots of magnets, too.  This should be fun... 

The podcast thing that I've been talking about with Snibble has taken a step further and we've had out first planning discussion.  I think we're off to a good start.  I'm gonna hit him up about it again.  I'd like to aim at the first weekend of March for our launch time frame.

So, to make it a bit more clear what my 40K list is right now, here is the rough outline.

     Kahn with Moondrakkan

     Chapter Master w/ bike, auspex, burning blade, shield eternal, and artificier armor.

     Biker Squad w/ 5 extra bikers, 2 grav-guns, attack bike w/ multimelta

     Biker Squad w/ 2 extra bikers, 2 grav-guns, attack bike w/ multimelta

     Biker Squad w/ 2 extra bikers, 2 grav-guns, attack bike w/ multimelta

     Biker Squad w/ 2 extra bikers, 2 grav-guns, attack bike w/ multimelta

     Tactical Squad w/ plasma gun, razorback w/ assault cannon

     Tactical Squad w/ plasma gun, razorback w/ assault cannon

     Landspeeder Squadron w/ 2 landspeeders, both w/ typhoon missile launchers

     Landspeeder Squadron w/ 2 landspeeders, both w/ typhoon missile launchers

     Landspeeder Squadron w/ 2 landspeeders, both w/ assault cannons

The list is a bit in flux, so there may be a few things in the list in flux as far as upgrades go.  The other things that go back and forth are the landspeeders.  If I had the cash, I'd probably replace them with two Storm Talons and a pair of Thunderfire cannons.  But after a game with the Landspeeders, I actually really like them.  So I don't think I'm going to mind playing the list this way in the upcoming event.

In other news, I've played a little multi-player Civ V online and it's fun.  It was faster paced and since my partner quickly outpaced me, I'm pretty sure it shows that I'm not very experienced at the game.  But it was still fun and kinda a learning experience.  So now I'm tuning it in singleplayer again.  It's fun.

Alright, that's all I've got for now.  Maybe next time, I'll touch on Magic a bit more.  We'll see.

May the dice gods bless you, as they have blessed me!
