Random thoughts and some army pictures..new warlocks!

Hello,

So I figured I have not posted any newer pictures of my models...So here they are! I have been working on and off to update my warlocks to be..more consistent. The ones I had were a mosh pit of bits that I managed to toss together in my very very poor college days. So a few months ago I ordered the dire avenger swords and shining spear bits to properly build my warlocks. I have just about finished them up, they need to be highlighted and I think I might replace the bikes as well (the ones they are current mounted on are from my salvage bucket) but for the next few events these will do much better than the old poorly converted ones I have been using for the last year or so.

They are all consistent now! (some of the old ones had space marine power swords...)

Just a close up of my Baron Sathonyx model (the free hand was all done by a close friend)

This dude just got some extra highlighting done and I finished magnetizing his arms!

This was the list I was playing last weekend at the Huzzah Hobbies RTT.

In other news I was noodling on Imperial Knights and I am quite convinced that they will probably be out in force at the NOVA Open this year. I heard from my friends who went to the ATC that they were ALL OVER THE PLACE down there. And with the new formation (its in the Red Waaagh campaign book) I expect them to do very very well. The gist of that formation is that it is composed of 3 Imperial Knights and as long as they are within 3 inches of another one of those knights they can re-roll their invulnerable save and a few other things. Even without that formation though they are quite good. I was play testing some beastpack lists the other day (after my success at Adepticon I thought it was worth seeing how they do in 7th edition) but sadly those Imperial Knights can just trollololol all over the little doggies. I think beastpacks can still be made to work in 7th but at the moment I am leaning away from playing them. 

I had another list thought after some discussion with some friends at the RTT and I am noodling on the idea of just saying screw everything and just allying with myself (the NOVA Open is allowing you to ally with your own codex rather than use multiple CAD's) and playing Baharroth instead of using the Baron. The reason I do like this idea is that Baharroth will make a better tank for wounds most of the time and he is an Eternal warrior and still has hit and run.

My main concerns with that list is that it looks roughly like this:

Eldar CAD:

Farseer on bike

Farseer on bike

8 warlocks on bikes

4x3 wind rider squads

3x wraith knights

Allied Eldar:

Baharroth

1x3 wind rider squad

This list has 1 less objective secured unit but the one I dropped is the walking warrior squad which was sort of a liability in most cases anyway. I will need to noodle on this more but I do like the idea of using this instead of the Baron. Actually the cool thing is that all the points to get Baharroth come from dropping the dark eldar detachment and the shard of anaris which is no longer needed as Baharroth is fearless. I could still take some swooping hawks instead of the third wraithknight but I really like the idea of just having a bunch of big smashy toughness 8 monsters running around. In any case I still have a little over a month to noodle on this!
