I had a dream last night...

So just how did my little list do?

We played 2k teams, I was actually working along side a Nids player, against two Chaos Space Marines. We had a bomb in the center of the table that could go off at the start of a round, and had objective holders.

Surprisingly, my Fire Prisms all Remained standing, and never took a hit. Nor did they really do anything EPIC till the last round.
One thing I learned yesterday, Holy Crap. My shining spears are INSANE! They will most DEFIANTLY be a crucial aspect of my army.
My storm guardians didn't have fun with a whip of submission, and it was their death.
Lost one Vyper, had the Missile Launcher and the Bright Lance all the way till the end.
One thing I really want to get going on my army, Harlequins. I think they'll be a substantial benefit to my newly discovered play style. Eldar really seem to benefit from Shooting and Hit and Run aspects of assault.
Not sure when the next game will be, or what my list will be then, but I'm gonna be doing some tweaking, that's for sure.

MURGLGLGLGLG!

So today will be the first day I ever field a jetbike type item.
My army list consists of....

1 Autarch on a Jetbike
5 Shining Spears
3 Vypers
3 Warwalkers
10 Dire Avengers
1 Asurmen
10 Storm Guardians
1 Warlock
2 Fire Prisms
8 Fire Dragons
1 Wave serpent for them to chill in.

I find it generally amusing that I believe this army will pack a punch, and I got all the things I wanted and went "Where can I spend 80 other points?"
I don't usually feel that with the eldar...

So the Vyper and Shining Spears are "Table Ready" Assembled, Based, But not "Show case ready". They still need a lot of work before I'm snapping them and putting pictures of them up!

In other news, Christmas was fun, had a lot of food and nice times with the families. School was fine last semester, 3.0 Gpa. I hate to admit though, next semester will be a bitch. I'll be on the road an hour a day, if not a little more, going to and from college. What a pain.. and a strain on my wallet. So I'll be dealing with limited income. I've tried to make a deal with myself.. I'm gonna just pay for my cellphone, my gas, food, and 15 dollars for warcraft (Least I can do to prevent a "I'm gonna go out and spend money" kind of night) and save all the other dollars I get. If I succeed, I'm promising myself a new army. Sounds fair I think? Gives me plenty of time to research and prepare.

I'm also 90% sure I'll be using some High Elf models for my Farseers and Warlocks on Jetbikes. Really excited for that too!
