the6thdegree - off to Blog Wars 8

Morning folks - just a quick post from me; tomorrow is Blog Wars 8 and despite only having one game of 7th Ed since its release, I will be there with my Iron Warriors - attempting to throw down with the best of them!

If anyone reading this doesn't know about Blog Wars, its a great 1 day tournament that encourages friendly gamers to bring friendly lists and friendly games. Alex from From the Fang has been organising them all himself and does a stellar job - there is always great prize support and I've been lucky enough to walk away from most events with either a podium/painting, raffle or spot prize.

As I've said, I will obviously be taking my Iron Warriors, but my personal life has taken over my hobby life recently so I am ashamed to say I wont be taking a very different list to BW (which admittedly did ok...) so this time I wont be entering the painting competition.

The list I am taking is:

HQ		Price
1	Abaddon	265
Troops
10	CSM	140
10	VotLW	10
2	Plasma Guns	30
1	Rhino	35
1	Havoc Launcher	12
10	CSM	140
10	VotLW	10
2	Plasma Guns	30
1	Rhino	35
1	Havoc Launcher	12
12	Cultists	58
12	Cultists	58
Elites
3	Terminators	95
2	Power Fists	14
1	Power Sword	-
1	Helbrute	100
1	T/L Lascannon	25
1	Missile Launcher	10
Heavy
3	Obliterators	210
3	Mark of Nurgle	18
3	VotLW	9
3	Obliterators	210
3	Mark of Nurgle	18
3	VotLW	9
1	Vindicator	120
1	Combi-Bolter	5
Fast Attack
1	Heldrake	170
	Hades Autocannon	-
	Army Total	1848

The main difference between BW 7 and 8 lists is that I have added VotLW where possible, which means I have had to swap out a Heldrake for a cheaper Vindicator. I am hoping the changes to 7th Ed mech might mean that my normally dead-in-T1 Vindi will be a bit more survivable and help getting rid of Terminator squads that I inevitably seem to come up against (that the now semi-nerfed Heldrake really isn't useful against).

Anyway - fingers it goes well - a write-up will follow.
