So, I have been a bit errant in my blogging. I won't try and bury you all with a catch up since my last post of what? 2011 Adepticon? Haha. Anyhow, what has happened.. 6th Edition. And I love it. It has fit my play style more than any edition before it. (4th Edition Blood Angels were the last thing to really make me a happy camper.)
So, the question is what am I rocking now? After my 5th Edition post on what army to build next, I decided to do an Eldar/Harlequin half breed list that was fun to play and still fluffy. This list has evolved into 6th edition and has taken on Dark Eldar allies. (Though the Tau could be making an appearance, I really like the idea of marauding Harlequins backed up by Rail Guns.)
Anyone who knows me well, knows I am just rather lazy when it comes to painting anything outside of Space Marines. So my army is in a varied state of paint, and I really need to buckle down and just finish it, and to purchase a few pieces I have so far been subbing.
What I can say for my Army though is that it's first encounters in 6th edition have been pleasant. It's a solid core and has the potential to really grab objectives while laying waste to the opponent. With some 2+ rerollable invulnerable save shenanigans it is also a damage sponge, and the amount of wounds the harlequins have soaked up is laughable.
What the army did not plan for given the new Meta of the game is much anti-tank, which I had to address after realising I was pretty much stuck watching a land raider parade across the map untouched. This has now been accounted for and the Eldar/Dark Eldar alliance brought on by a talented and stubborn Solitaire will indeed be making a showing at Adepticon 2013.
Hoping to hook up with the Dark Future Games guys for some good drinks, good food,and perhaps a friendly game or three. As I will STILL not be attending a single tournament in the event due to the fact that it sells out at a rate that is insane. One year.... I will make it into that tourney :P
