Hey everyone,
As some people may know, Canada had it's Astronomi-CON in Vancouver last weekend at UBC. It was a lot of fun, probably the most fun I've had at a tourney in a long time. If you haven't been, I recommend it. The trophies were stellar, the competition was fierce and the painting was amazing. All in all, a very well run tourney with a very good player base. Because of how much I enjoyed it, I am already planning my list for next year - I'd like to have a shot at the best painted as well as best general so I'm going to start now. Play testing and painting for a year before. I've decided to go with a space wolves army for a few reasons. 1) I've a very cool idea for my version of a 'lost' space wolves company 2) Space wolves are a competitive army, and 3) The lower model count vs a horde army will allow me to put a lot more detail into the army (modeling/painting).

Thoughts on the new list? It gives me 4 scoring units - 1 of which pods in and either uses its 2 meltas to nuke something important or hits an objective. I'll have 4 vehicles moving up the field if need be, 3 of which are scoring. I've got my Deathstar unit which will be my centerpiece modeling wise. I sadly dropped Arjac but he bought me the second razorback unit.
So the Guard with the Combi-melta joins the podding unit. The other 2 join up in the razorbacks. The priest joins a unit in the razorback as well.

Essentially, tell me what you would do to stop it. Where it is weak and what you would change. I'll think about it and if req. present a counter-argument. Should lead to me building a better/stronger list or at least help me to prepare for the worst!
