Sitting at work thinking of TSHFT

I am sitting here at my work related desk in the warehouse thinking about how I am going to play Warhammer 40K at TSHFT. I have not had luck playing the game in the past because I always forget the rules mid game. The last tournament I was in my contact fell out of my eye and I had to play the game blind. I am going to bring my spare glasses this time.

I can't settle on a list. There are so many new models and things to play in fifth edition and I have most of them but I want to be able to be competitive so I am thinking about changing my scheme up. The first list I planned had a little bit of everything but I don't think that is the kind of list that will get me even close to winning a game. I know now that I am going to bring at least 40 to 60 marines to the tuornament as my troop choices. I am thinking about assault marines, bikes, or speeders for my fast attack. I have all three. I don't think I have enough bikes to make a go of it though. Maybe if I buy my ticket this Friday I will pick up another box of bikes so that I can make a proper squad of them.

I have apprehension going into the tournament because of the stuff I stated in the first paragraph but I will be playing many new players so I think that would be a cool thing. I am looking forward to seeing all of the cool paint jobs that are sure to be on display. The people running the event own the store that I go to and there are many very solid painters that go there. Sean Moomey has had his Blood Angels on the Games Workshop website and the artist known as Micah is probably the best single miniature painter I have ever seen in person. When he gets his entire Dark Angels army completed I would be willing to bet that it could win best apppearance at just about any tournament he would choose to enter.

I have begun to ramble with this post if I haven't already slipped into that so far. I might post again in a few hours. I want to continue the fan fiction post I put up on Ordo Fanaticus last week. I have a whole plan for the character that I created. I have a feeling most of the people that may have read the post feel that there is no way that a single space marine with a bolt pistol and chainsword could take out six orks. I hope that's the way they feel. There is a reason that he can do just that.

Have a great day, later.
