| Operation: Get Back On The Horse has commenced! |
To get this party started, in a stylish fashion, I have come up with a clever plan. For the five weeks of the league, I will play a different list each Thursday and try to play something that's different from what I've previously tried to put on the table. 6th Edition is around the corner and I am just about universally disappointed in the rumors about it that I have heard. So, what better way to honor 5th edition than to put together a set of lists as interesting as my model collection will allow. It is my great pleasure to introduce to you all "The Five Fingered Death Punch". I have heard that a badass sounding name is the first step on the road to rampant badassery...therefore each of the lists has it's own clever codename.

List #1 "The Two-Headed Monster"
Vulkan
Terminator Librarian with Storm Shield, Null Zone & Avenger
(5) TH/SS Terminators with Land Raider Crusader w/Multi-Melta
(5) TH/SS Terminators with Land Raider Crusader w/Multi-Melta
(5) Tactical Marines w/combi-melta, meltagun, and TLHB Razorback
(5) Tactical Marines w/combi-melta, and TLHB Razorback
(5) Tactical Marines w/combi-melta, and TLHB Razorback
Land Speeder with MM/HF
Land Speeder with MM/HF
I've always wanted to try a 2 Raider list, and here's my chance. I've heard it's a "dick move" to bring them, but I haven't witnessed any undue survivability issues with a single Raider, so I'm not overly concerned.

| My Tactical Marines are stone faced killas... (bad jokes are free around here) |
Vulkan
Epistolary Librarian w/Null Zone & Avenger
2 X Tactical Squad w/flamer, combi-melta, plasma cannon, power weapon & TLHB Razorback
2 X Tactical Squad w/flamer, combi-melta, missile launcher, powerfist, & LTHB Razorback
2 X Tactical Squad w/flamer, combi-melta, lascannon, & TLLC Razorback
I've never personally fielded this many tactical marines...and I have them...so why not give it a shot? Using tactical marines successfully is also my biggest weakness as a marine player, so this is a training exercise.

List #3 "No Chapter for Old Men"
Master of the Forge w/conversion beamer & bike
(10) TH/SS Terminators

(5) Tactical Marines w/powerfist, combi-melta, & TLLC Razorback
Dreadnought w/ (2) TLAC
Dreadnought w/ (2) TLAC
Dreadnought w/Multi-melta, heavy flamer, & Drop Pod
Light on the scoring units (as light as I could make it anyway) and heavy on the young and entombed. This force is a direct result of all the dead Salamanders I am responsible for after Adepticon and playing the previous list. Don't judge me.
Vulkan
Dreadnought w/ (2) TLAC
Dreadnought w/ (2) TLAC
Tactical Squad w/ combi-melta, meltagun, missile launcher, & TLHB Razorback

A hybrid list that Chambers put together for me that includes elements of the Tactical Marine horde with a few support elements. Combats squads will be had by all, and much death will ensue.
List #5 "Netlist Extreme"
Librarian in Power Armor w/ Null Zone & Avenger
Vulkan
(6) TH/SS Terminators
2 X Tactical Squad w/powerfist, combi-melta, meltagun, multi-melta, Drop Pod & locator beacon

This is a slightly modified list, ripped straight off the internet, from Danny Internets over at the Bald and Screaming blog. I tried to link to his posts about it, but his site seems to be down. My apologies to Danny.
5 week goal? Have a blast, hang with my boys, drink some beer, roll some dice, and not worry about the small shit. I'll post a bat rep every week. I will likely randomly pick (or have opponent roll) to determine which list gets used for any given week with a list only being used once in the tournament.
