Horustooth Heresy Today - my list and picture



Hey folks!  Today sees me finally finish my new army, and also test it out in a tournament setting.  I've played a grand total of 3 games with it, and hope I can make a decent showing, lol.  I'll be trying to send updates with my phone, so stay tuned.

Horustooth Heresy, for those wondering, is
the annual 'big' RTT my club holds, with an expectation of around 30-40 people to show up.  Great prize support, cool trophies, fun scenarios, mean that it'll be a fun event for sure :)

Here's the list I decided on:

2000 Points of Blood Angels:

Librarian w/ Jump Pack (Unleash Rage, Shield of Sanguinius)

Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack, Combi-Melta
Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack, Combi-Melta

10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Meltaguns, Infernus Pistol, Power Fist
10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Meltaguns, Infernus Pistol, Power Fist
10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Meltaguns, Infernus Pistol, Power Fist 
10x Assault Marines w/ 2x Meltaguns, Infernus Pistol, Power Fist

Baal Predator w/ Assault Cannon/Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Baal Predator w/ Assault Cannon/Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Predator w/ Autocannon/Las Cannon Sponsons
Predator w/ Autocannon/Las Cannon Sponsons 
Predator w/ Autocannon/Las Cannon Sponsons

And... that's it!  Oh, I think I added dozer blades to the Baals, because I had an extra 10 points I couldn't find a good thing to spend on.  43 jumpers and 5 preds.  Resilient is the name of the game.  Also gross inexperience.

Basic strategy is to jump up and kill things, while the tanks shoot things.  It's real complex.

And here's a picture of the finished army.  It doesn't look that awesome in this picture, but keep in mind two things:

1) The picture doesn't show the army to full advantage (i.e. it doesn't show any of my highlights, of which there are many) and
2) I painted the entire army from start to finish in (slightly less than) 3 weeks.

So, heres' the picture:



... Wish me luck!  I'll try to post updates with my phone, assuming I can get 3/4g there.
