OFCC plans

Well I haven't posted for a while but I thought I would start using this blog to post my preparations for the upcoming OFCC 40k tournament coming in Oregon. I have already submitted a list to my team captains and am currently in the process of building the list. The list is going to contain seven speeders and two predators so I need to buy some models before the tournament rolls around. Currently I have four speeders and one Predator tank. In creating the list I was looking for something that was not to overpowering but had the potential to be very destructive early in the game. I thought a seven speeder offensive would accomplish that nicely.

I really don't have a lot to put together in the time I have left before the tournament so I can't see not being ready for it. With that in mind I am also going to be working on some other projects that are important to me as well. I just got a Cassius model that I really want to paint and play with a few times just for fluff purposes. I don't think he is much better than a normal chaplain but he is one of my favorite characters in the fluff so I want to play him.

I have come to a conclusion on the way I really want to paint any and all marines that I paint into the future. There are many players that like to have their marines very clean and tidy when they display them. I don't like that style so much. I think that it takes just as much skill to make a marine look like he has been through some nastiness as it does to make him look pristine and neat. The style I have started painting with lately is what I really like to do and I will be putting some models up in that style relatively soon. Maybe even this weekend.

Well that's about all for this post. Look for more posts this weekend if you want. I am pretty sure you will see some pics this weekend to.
