I've decided not to play in G2D4's 'ard Boys on Sunday. Its too soon after the last tournament to get the competitive juices flowing. Plus, I want to focus on getting my Eldar painted in time for the June 19 Game Preserve Tournament.
Speaking of my Eldar, this is what I've been playing at 1500 pts
Farseer w/ Fortune, Guide, Doom, Spirit Stones, Runes of Warding, Runes of Witnessing
5x Fire Dragons
Wave Serpent, TL Brightlance, Shuri Cannon
5x Fire Dragons
Wave Serpent, TL Brightlance, Shuri Cannon
10 Dire Avengers w/ Exarch, Twin shuri-cats, Bladestorm
Wave Serpent, TL Brightlance, Shuri Cannon
5x Dire Avengers
Falcon w/Shuri Cannon, Scatter Laser, Holo-Fields
Fire Prism w/Shuri Cannon, Holo-Fields
Fire Prism w/Shuri Cannon, Holo-Fields
It's performed pretty well. I only lost my first game with them, and have tied and won an equal number. I think I'm going to need more troops for the scenarios they are using down south. Plus the Deathspinner kit is coming out soon, and that might be worth changing the army for. I might pick up another Wave Serpent and run three five man units of Avengers in Wave Serpents. They big squad usually dies when they get out of their transport anyway. I''m thinking about also stripping down the Farseer to just having Guide and Runes of Warding and just sticking him in the Falcon. I've barley been hitting with 50% of its shots, so it needs a boost to start earning its place in the list.
You could always head to the B-Burg Game Preserve. no admission fee. Aaron said there were only a couple of people signed up there.
ReplyDeleteGP north has 4 people (incl me and Keith). I'm going to call Saltire to find out what their signup looks like.
it's a $90 box for first supposedly. Then again, it's all day of huge games.
we're hoping we don't get any more people at GP North, so we don't have to play a third round.
Shoot, part of my reason for not playing was that it was a Sunday. I might go if the north side GP has slots open on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteUsing the Farseer to only Guide the Falcon would add a tremendous amount of points that the Falcon needs to earn back.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember whether or not you need LOS for Doom, but that would be my choice. Doom would boost other units, not just the Falcon.
Dropping Fortune and Spirit Stones also saves you a lot of points to go toward another scoring unit.
