Those Who See a Titan Shall Never Live to Tell the Tale...

First and foremost, today was a day of heavy spending. Not as painful on the wallet as it would have been if I had bought from GW, but weighty enough. Three new Razerbacks and a Valkyrie to buff my forces up to 2500 pts for a 'Ard Boyz list. While I don't particularly care for 'Ard Boyz, and highly doubt I'll even place in the prelims, I do want to be able to play prep games with my community and attend as well for the sake of just gaming.

My splurge of spending didn't stop with mere plastic tanks though... It went on to sheets of plastic board, 110lb size card stock and a bit of 1/8 x 1/8 balsa wood. What all could it be for? Well, as the post title hints, a Titan! A Warhound first as it's my initial attempt at scratch building, and later possibly a Reaver and/or a Warlord! :O

And without further ado, my 'Ard Boyz rough draft.

Total: 2498pts

HQ: 430pts
220pts Astorath the Grim
210pts Honor Guard with Chapter Banner, Melta and Razerback dedicated transport

Elites: 298pts
180pts Sanguinary Priests (x3) with Combi-Flamers (x3)
118pts Chaplain with Power Fist and Storm Bolter

Troops: 990pts
215pts Death Co (x8) with Power Weapon, Power Fist and Inferno Pistol
215pts Death Co (x8) with Power Weapon, Power Fist and Inferno Pistol
135pts Death Co Dread with Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer
135pts Death Co Dread with Blood Talons and Heavy Flamer
145pts Assault Squad with Melta, Lightning Claw and Razerback dedicated transport
145pts Assault Squad with Melta, Lightning Claw and Razerback dedicated transport

Fast Attack: 200pts
200pts Vanguard Vets with Lightning Claw (Sgt), Lightning Claw, Inferno Pistol and Razerback dedicated transport

Heavy: 430pts
215pts Stormraven with Extra Armor
215pts Stormraven with Extra Armor

The Stormravens will carry my Khorne Berserkers (Death Co) and Dreadnaughts. Astorath will accompany one squad while Lemartes of course augments the other. Both will bring a ton of hurt.

The goal of this army is to charge in fast and hard and hope that I can table my opponent. The two assault squads are there to claim any objectives possible, and the Honor Guard are around to buff them with extra attacks in lieu of Sanguinator's absence. The Vanguard Vets were selected to help fill out the points... and extra killiness.

As I said earlier, I'm not expecting much in terms of results for me but it should be fun to play regardless. :)
