Upcoming Tourney - 1500 point list

There's a 1500 point 40k tournament coming up next month here in Ottawa, at a yearly board, card, and miniature gaming convention known as CanGames. So I've got until May 17 to buy, build and paint two more Rhinos, two Land Speeders, and two Attack Bikes for the following list. After I finish my Baal and my Assault Squads, anyway.

Maybe I'll chronicle my progress....

  1. No Unique characters. Blood Angels have some nice characters. The guy with the chalice might work better than a chaplain. Also no Death Company Furiso. Those look pretty nice to back up the assault part of your list. You also seem a little short of Powerfists. Anything really big hits one of you CC units you might be in trouble.

  2. Good luck getting all those additional units painted up, that's a full schedule.

  3. That's a fair amount of painting you have planned, are you going to make it ?

    PS. Do you play the swords and bows version of Warhammer ? If not, then you should consider it, it's a finer tactical experience in my opinion.

  4. @eriochromo: I guess I just have an unnatural aversion to using special characters. Not everyone can have Dante, Mephiston, Corbulo, and/or Lemartes in their army. Besides, it's more of a challenge if I don't use the Dante/Corbulo fist of doom combo.

    @RonSaikowski: Thanks man - I'll need it!

    @Sigmar: As long as I get enough spare time and can get the models bought and built soon enough, I think I will. Maybe I'll have to figure out how to use this airbrush that's been sitting around, unused, for a year. And I collect High Elves for WHFB. I haven't yet gotten my head around it, and I don't really want to field my High Elves until they're painted. With the amount of 40k stuff I've yet to paint (I've been on a repainting/rebuilding binge for my Blood Angels and Tau), it'll be a long time before I can really get into WHFB at the same level as I've gotten into WH40k. Don't worry - I'll get there.
