Estoy muy feliz ahora porque hoy es el dia de que soy una espalda mojada.
: D
Basically, my old car died about 2 weeks ago. And I've been without sufficient transportation for a while now. 40k night/tournament = borrowed my mom's car. School = hitch a ride with mom.
Finally, today we get the call that the car we designed/ordered came in. I now have a pimped Scion tC, 2007 model. I am very happy and very, very, VERY thankful to my parents and God for blessing me with this. I might have gotten a new car for college, but thanks to the old one almost having complete combustion in the engine [aka: exploding] I got a new car today.
Oh, I also got a box of Dire Avengers. I need to paint them and make a "Shimmershield/Defend" exarch. Expect more blurbs about painting and modeling and other such things I need to do.
Such as:
2 Dark Reapers
1 Warp Spider Exarch w/Spinnerette Rifle
6 Fire Dragons w/Exarch [Dragon's Breath Flamer]
5 Howling Banshees w/Exarch [Mirror Swords]
3 Shining Spears w/Exarch [Starlance]
10 Dire Avengers w/Exarch [Power Weapon/Shimmershield]
5 Pathfinders.
That should be it, minus the touchups on some of my other stuff.

TOURNAMENT...but not THAT exciting...
Over this past Saturday, I attended a tournament at Dragon's Lair and had my 4th, 5th, and 6th game with the new Eldar codex. I had one of the 3 fully painted armies at the tournament. There was a total of 6 people there. Whoo.
My first game was good, vs. my old rival [Jason] who plays a Mech. IG list. It was a long and drawn out battle, fun and very close. It ended with me being crushingly defeated.
2nd game. Game vs. another long time rival [Tib] who was playing his Tau. I made MANY mistakes in this game and it ended with me conceding. I killed a pathfinder squad, half of a firewarrior squad and 3 stealthsuits. He left me with 3 Exarchs [lieutenants] and an immobilized Falcon [my Gunship...].
3rd game. Game vs. ANOTHER rival [Sherman], who has recently traded in his Ork army for a Witch Hunters army. It was an intense battle, with me taking the lead slightly in points [considering a 396 squad makes up most of my points...] and resulting in a Draw.
Odd things about this tournament:
1) I fought all old opponents, many good friends. The 2 other "new" people I never did fight / really meet.
2) Game 1 = Warp Spiders roll a 10" deviation on deep strike. Off the board by 0.5"
Game 2 = Warp Spiders roll a 9" deviation on deep strike. Off the board by 0.25"
Game 3 = Warp Spiders come on and destroy a Chimera. Vindicare Assassain kills exarch and pins them.
Warp Spiders...Good unit, Bad day....
3) I took 6th place with a score of 69.6. I could have raised this if I had not forgot my "fluff" at home and may have taken 3rd.
I did pick up a box of 10 Dire Avengers and will have more points to play with soon in my new army lists.
