Does this look infected?

Well I played in the Imperial Outpost goodbye to 4th edition tournament.

Here is my list:

x2 Demon prince, wings, lash

x2 units of 10 plague marines, champ w/fist, rhino, icon

x1 units of 8 plague marines, champ w/fist, rhino, icon

x6 units of 5 lesser demons

x2 dreadnoughts w/ twin lascannon

x1 predator w/ lascannons.

The list may seem unconventional in that I took no special weapons to keep the marines cheap, and several units of lesser demons. But it ended up working quite well. I wouldnt normally piss on dreadnoughts if they were on fire and firmly believe they are a complete waste of points, but that was 25opts worth of models I had laying around. I basically fielded them just to eat up points and see if they did anything cute.

The plague marines are most definately badass. They far exceeded my expectations. In 5th ed i would probably load them up with plasma guns for more punch, but I'm not convinced they really need it. The lesser demons were my MVP's of the tourney. They suprised every opponent, tied up units, got in the way, grabbed objectives and just generally were a pain in the ass.

I went 3-0. Scoring 17, 15 and 18 battle points for my games. Not bad for their first tournament. The list could use some fine tuning and I dont plan to keep all the vehicles/princes in fifth edition. I grabbed second place, and lost overall by a very small margin I hear. Better luck next time eh?

So I have finally caved and created a blog relating to my misadventures in nerd-land. I dont expect many people to read this, or glean tons of useful information. Maybe I can inspire some, give a laugh or help people out here and there.

I've found over the past 2 years or so, I find myself regularly checking the painting sections of various forums and following some people's blogs rather closely. I'm not entirely sure if its to find inspiration, to see if I can find some trick I hadn't thought of or for ideas to flat out rip-off because I'm lazy and cant be bothered to be creative (kidding).

I have been somewhat burned out on the hobby for a couple of years, but have still followed releases closely and kept up with new rules, codexes, white dwarf etc. Maybe the inspiration I was trying to find during the last 2 years or late night internet browsing wasn't required. Perhaps I just needed to take a shot and keeping track of what I do for others to check out..

So hopefully I can commit to this, stay motivated and update often.. And hopefully you, the reader find something you like.
