Hobby Update

Updates have been less frequent lately. I still have been playing 40k games at 1000 pts with my friend Larry (who blogs more than me and paints more than me lol) but I've taken a bit of a break from the hobby. Funds have been absent to build up the Mechanicus army lately and I took some time painting up my Skaven from the IoB set. I'm planning on delving back into Fantasy with the rats (b/c... well... fuck Wood Elves), but I'd rather get my IG force in good order first.

This, for me, means having 2000 pts I can count on. (ie no trash/dicey units) Should be getting a medusa in a trade here so that will get me headed where I need to be. Right now I have about 1250 that's stuff I'll want to use in the final list.

Here's the 1k I've been playing with for quite some time it seems. The only thing I don't care for in the list is the stormtroopers. They're too dicey for my tastes. The Russ Vanquisher w/Pask is amazing but is also a bit expensive for an army of this size.

210 Colonel Straken, Medic, 2x Bodyguard, Krak Grenades, Las Pistols

105 Veteran Squad w/Powerfist, 3x Grenade Launcher

65 Chimera w/Hull Heavy Flamer & Dozer Blade
