(I've also had enough time in the field that it wouldn't do much career-wise over my current pieces of paper.)<br /><br />And though I think car bombs is a waste of good Guiness and Irish Cream, the article parsed just fine. I'm of the multiple armies mindset. I've cut back to 5 Codexes and can field pretty much every choice from each. Yet each of these has been hammered down to a core style or three. I might make small changes of wargear or even a unit for testing or whim, but the playstyle and army dynamic rarely changes. So unless I'm prepping for a big tournament, I keep myself flexible and on my toes by giving my opponent choice of what army to face.Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-17866895972667487222009-12-24T11:44:08.434-06:002009-12-24T11:44:08.434-06:00Heheheh.

I'll have to make a note to experiment more with drinking and blogging, then...drunken blog-fu for the win.<br /><br />On the MBA: it's just nice to get the hell out of school. I can come home, and work didn't follow me. It's unreal, after darn near a lifetime of school.<br /><br />@Mik<br />I think the 'looks cool' approach to picking up units is a part of the 'multiple lists' thing, just with a different kind of motivation for the rotation. <br /><br />@Chumbalaya<br />I think marines are in a unique position to offer a HUGE variety of options, just because there are, what, 5 loyalist codices, and then chaos marines? If you go with a modeling-neutral scheme, you can easily tap into any of the 5 loyalists, and always use the power of counts-as for Chaos.<br /><br />10 guys with bolters go a LONG freakin' way for marines. Same with the vehicles, and all that jazz.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-84026902350201176292009-12-24T08:37:19.094-06:002009-12-24T08:37:19.094-06:00Hey congrats!

Dark Angels, Deathwing, Wolfwing, Templarwing, Vanilla best of, Bikers, SW cav, and so on.<br /><br />It is nice to have some focus, like my Battlewagon Orks.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111360555104006558.post-12016608144936159162009-12-24T07:31:44.536-06:002009-12-24T07:31:44.536-06:00If this post is a product of car bombs, then by al...If this post is a product of car bombs, then by all means, drink more!<br /><br />Seriously though, well written and thought out, one aspect I didn't see would be my approach. Having a little bit of everything "just because it looks cool" is a good thing. You'll always be mixing up those army lists to add "cool" looking vehicles and units.<br /><br />Congrats on the MBA!MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.com
