This ties in with yesterday's post announcing my signing up for Battle for Salvation. I have had zero playing time this year, literally so I can use the practice! More on that in a bit.
If you look at the link I posted, that will bring you to their events page. Notice how it is packed! They literally have something going on every day! From Historical Gaming to Fantasy and 40k. If it is not tabletop gaming, it is Magic or another cardgame.
Another monthly event they run is the Paula Netto booster draft, sponsored by her son Michael in her name. It is set up with kids in mind to reflect her passion for making kids smile. It is completely free and open to only kids 15 and younger. A great chance to break your own kids into a fun hobby! What a fantastic event. You want to bet when my own son is old enough I will be bringing him to events like this.
The Paula Netto Boster Draft is October 1. Check the events page for more details! CLICKHERE.
So I came up with my list for Battle for Salvation. Blood Angels of course. I will be playing my Lamenters, mostly the same list from Templecon with a few changes.
Terminator Captain
JP Librarian withSword
5 combat scouts with cloaks
5 man RAZ with heavy flamer turret
5 mas RAS with Land Raider Crusader! (New addition)
5 man Tactical with Rhino
Furioso with HF and Blades
Storm Raven extra armor, multi, ass can, sponsons
5 man shooty termies with flamer
5 man Vanguard Vets
Priest on bike with fist
I dropped the stupid costly Death company. I will simply use my DCmodels as one of my assault squads. I am still considering how I want to paint the Land Raider. I want to make it the DCs ride, but am not sure that I want to paint it white(my DC are white) or yellow. I kindof want to go yellow and push the boundries with weathering and such... I suspect I will simply go yellow and let the white DC ride in side.
I really need a new codex! My prices are whack. But I really have no true hope of winning any way. :) I registered for the regular BFS GT. I know some time ago I was planning on a Masters Invitational, however I don't know if that is happening as we are now a month away and I have yet to get info on it. At this point "the masters" will have needed more notice to be able to compete at such a high level! Besides, I kinda want to take a shot at Ren Man again. There are six games, and I think with a close to max painting and sportsman score, and 3 out of 6 wins, I can have a shot. That just means I have to win three games, be a nice guy, and put a beautiful army on the table!
I have my work cut out for me in the next month! So look for me at The Battle Standard September 28 as I play three practice games with what I consider a mid range competitive list. The only way I am going to learn 7th edition is to get out of my basement and get into the game! That is what The Battle Standard is all about.
