500 Points about 500 Points (Lists, Touraments & Rules, oh my!)

[Bill]

Ion Cannons, not railguns.

[canadianone]

yeah, i played a puppies list at this points level, and they weren't scary at all. i guess this points level really neuters them...





SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

[Sir_Prometheus]

Well, I was able to fit one Ion cannon, one railgun.  I never like running exact duplicate units anyway. 

[Loranus]

OMG I am such a procrastinator I started painting like 2 days ago. If I keep this pace up I'll get them done in time or I will be dead :O.

[canadianone]

I just wanted to say good luck, were all counting on you

[Loranus]

It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself.

[Benjamin]

Pat, I'm hoping you fall just short and show up with half-painted models. Then you're bodily thrown out of the store for your offense, with your models unceremoniously tossed out after you.

I'm half-serious, because then everyone would be talking about that instead of your hat.

After all that busting, you have no choice but to finish and show me up.

[Loranus]

And I'll wear my god damn hat. The only real time consuming bit is the basecoating because the Citadel Spray gun broke :/ I have to basecoat a lot of Snot green onto the models which I am about 92% of the way done with right now should finish that up tonight. Im on a good system and the 2 liters of Mountain Dew Being IVed into my bloodstream will keep me working in the Emperor's Name.

[canadianone]

or you could just be thay guy who paints three different color stripes on his helmet, and leave the rest blank.

[Ed]

ill paint your army in one night for 7 soda credits this offer will stand until the night before.

[Sir_Prometheus]

My Tau are painted!  ........approximately 8 years ago.  My painting skills have come a bit of a way since then.

Is anyone planning on driving to this event from near the Back Bay area? My usual rides aren't attending this time - so I'm looking for a ride to Plainville this Saturday. I'm happy to pitch in for gas and snacks for the trip over. Send me a PM if you can help out, thanks!

Hrmm, fought a mephiston list last night.  Mephiston can do damage to a Hammerhead a lot more easily than I thought.

Yup. And it's pretty hard to outrun him, because he'll jump over your chump blockers. Welcome to the insanity.

Yeah, even if Mephy needs 6s to hit, he's still auto-penning the vast marjority of Rear Armour. To say nothing of when he needs 4s or auto-hits...

I really think people are underestimating how difficult Mephiston is to kill at this points level, but *shrug* oh well
