Now this is how you do tournament prep... Sigmar style

10:30pm night before a tournament and what am I doing.. still painting.  Well technically I'm not even painting as I am typing here on this, but I'm waiting for the paint to dry before continuing.

Team tournament tomorrow so I'll have someone else to pull me out of mediocrity... and maybe someone blame when it all falls apart.  Just kidding.

One 40k player matched with a Fantasy player.  Take a guess at which one I am.  I wouldn't subject anyone to being partnered with me during my first dive into competitive 40k so I'll be fielding the Ogres of course.  Since the latest rules update to the Ogre Army book ruined the Deathfist combo, I've had to rebuild my standard (and very successful) tournament list.  I'm giving the stand back and shoot the fuck out of you approach.


1 Lord: 323 Pts.   12.9%
2 Heroes: 277 Pts.   11.0%
4 Core Units: 705 Pts.   28.1%
6 Elite Units: 850 Pts.   34.0%
2 Rare Units: 340 Pts.   13.6%


Slaughtermaster, General, Ironfist, lvl4, Warrior Bane, Talisman of Endurance, Lore of Heaven - 323 Pts.

Butcher, Ironfist, lvl2, Lore of The Great Maw - 138 Pts.
Bruiser, HA, Tormentor Sword, BSB - 139 Pts.

10 Gnoblars, Gnoblar Trappers - 50 Pts.
10 Gnoblars, Gnoblar Trappers - 50 Pts.
7 Ironguts, M, S, C, Standard of Discipline - 346 Pts.
7 Ogres, Handweapon & Ironfist, Lookout Gnoblar, M, S, C - 259 Pts.

4 Leadbelchers, M - 182 Pts.
4 Leadbelchers, M - 182 Pts.
4 Maneaters, HA, 4 x Brace of Ogre Pistols, Scouts, Sniper, M, S, C, Std. of Eternal Flame - 304 Pts.
1 Sabretusks - 21 Pts.
1 Sabretusks - 21 Pts.
2 Mournfang Cavalry, HA, Ironfist - 140 Pts.

Ironblaster - 170 Pts.
Ironblaster - 170 Pts.

Total: 2495


I'll probably throw a lookout gnoblar into the ogre unit to make up the 5 last points.

I'll be fielding the steamtank/ironblaster I'm still finishing painting for the first time.  In my limited testing 2 ironblasters is nuts.

I'll get photos of the finished models when I'm done (probably tomorrow through)  but the latest additions/what I'm working on is:

2 Mournfang (just need to base and do some touch ups)
The Blastertank(90% done... just have to ink it some places)
Comet spell marker (I am going lore of heaven after all)

Time to grab another Yuengling and get back to work.  As always, I'll try to get some photos of the ingame action, but I can pretty much promise I'll do my standard 1 blurry photo and thats about it.
