Wargames Con Teams, Wheres my swag?

Alright, we didn't come home covered in glory, but we had a damn fine time, thanks to BoLS for putting on another great convention, though there didn't appear to be goody bags this year either, just stop promising it guys.

Also, on the rules pack it said there was a Fluff Bunny Award, of Paint+Sportsmanship+Presentation- Battle Points, pretty sure we were in the running as we did well on the others and only scored 1 point. But this award was not awarded to anyone.

Bad stuff done, on to the pretty armies.

Here is the hall and a shot of one of the tables, pretty good for such a huge tournament, you can hide behind things, although we never got much of a chance to hide our manticore very well until the last game.

A few of the team armies.

 Eldar and Grey Knights

 All Bikes all the time.

 What won't Orks loot?

 Love the looted raiders.

 Dark/Eldar Harlequins(probabably wyches)

 Very nice DoubleWing

Carebear Army, with Seer Council and Thunderhammer Storm Shield Terminators.

 Really love the raiders and the contrast of these two.

Holy crap that's a lot of wolves.

That's all for today, a few more pictures of what else was going on and our games to come shortly.

WARGAMES CON!!!

Tomorrow is the Team Tournament at WarGames Con! Here at dissentingdice we are bringing Space Wolves and Imperial Guard with a legal theme for the team, Bellum Lex(War Law).

Here is our army list, in the style of a federal court document:

Jack and I are heading North and South respectively towards Austin, TX today.
 La Belle Republique,  Austin is where I finished up college, and had the best gaming period in my life, I hope to call it home someday, and am excited to get back.

We are headed down to have a good time, get some great games in, see a lot of amazing armies, and meet a lot of great people. We will be doing a battle report for each game, and I will be staying Saturday to cover the Con in general. So bear with us, we have jobs and summer school, so this will take a while to get out but we will have a lot of content in the coming weeks.

Thank you all for your support and readership, this blog has really let us do some gaming work and given both of us a creative impetus. We may not do it all for you but we are glad that we have an audience to share our hobby with.

Be on the look out for us, we will not have shirts like we thought (I messed them up), but if you see the models and huge display board that we have come say hello.

Final Count Down.

Doodeedoodoo, doo doo doo, doodeedoodoo....

In two weeks I leave for Austin to play in the WarGames Con team tournament with Jack.

Wait TWO WEEKS?!

I still need to finish up painting and basing a few more Thunderwolf Cavalry, and a 10 man 2x plasma grey hunter squad to play random games on Saturday with.

This weekend, it's paint time.

Here is a Thunderwolf Cav with magnetized shield I did the other day.

Here is an update on Jack's progress from last week.

Tourney Season: WGC

Alright, here is the what I am thinking of taking to WargamesCon in Austin this July, I also will be playing in Wasteland Wars here in Lubbock in September, and I want to try my hand at 'Ard Boyz up here in August. So this will be a tournament filled summer. Just need to get things painted.
Wargames is 2000, Wasteland is 1850, and 'Ard Boyz is 2500, I plan to essentially make variations of this list as I really like the elements that are in it.

But today we are starting with Wargames Con, as it is first.

Here is my 1999 point Space Wolf list, I have a few variations that I will put at the bottom, let me know what you think.

So, it's pretty simple, no tricks, just reliable units. That's what I like. A rune priest for disruption(skimmers/BA jumpers/Grey Knights) and defense. Two bags of hammers. Four troops that can handle most things, 4 plasma guns as I am NOW scared of terminators. Scouts to harass, annoy and blow up tanks, speeders to do the same, as well as contest last minute.  Finally some long fangs, you know what they do.

HQ 100+45+30+20+30+35=

260 Wolf lord, 100, TW 45, SS 30, rune armor 20, thunder hammer 30, saga of the bear 35

105 Rune priest, tempest's, lightning, meltabomb

Elites

129 3x Wolf guard, powerfist/ combi-melta

85 5x scouts, meltagun

Troops

160 8x grey hunters, meltagun, rhino 

175 9x grey hunters, meltagun, rhino 

195 10x grey hunters, 2x plasmaguns, rhino

195 10x grey hunters, 2x plasmaguns, rhino 

Fast Attack

270 3x TWC , 3x Storm Shields, Powerfist , meltabomb 

70 Speeder, Multi Melta/ Heavy Flamer

70 Speeder, Multi Melta/ Heavy Flamer

Heavy Support

145 5 long fangs, 2 missiles, 2 lascannons

140 6 long fangs 5 missiles

Alternatively, for the Wolf Lord I could take him on a wolf, with shield, armor, a wolf claw, and saga of the beast slayer, for 225 and save 35 points, but I don't think he would his as hard or stand up to as much punishment, but would be more effective against infantry in general.
