Prepare, a storm is commin'!

So, a storm of magic has been released upon the warhammer universe. I must say I quite like the direction its going. It could have gone many ways, but to scale the spells up like they have done, and given us a extra +25% to spend on yummie beasties and the like without messing around with the initial values is to my liking. Is this gonna be tourney packed rules? Nope. Do I like it? Hell yea! This is as predicted, a random big BOOM. pushing units 2d6" this way and that way, destroying units, swallowing heroes, throwing an entire gaming hill on the opponent, ressurecting dead units(yea you heard me!) back anywhere within 24" of the caster. And to top it off, even the dwarfs gets to do some nifty things in the magic phase! Now many are rambling about having 15 night goblin shamans in the army and the likes, now I can't see how to pull that off tbh. There will be room for 1 guy on the pode, and 1 guy will get the buff, so why have 14 in backup when 3 should be plenty? Unless you plan to bring 10 stands for them, but even then 4d6 does realy randomize the success quite alot. Ive ordered the limited stuff + the book, after that im probably extending my WoC army with a Manticore and a new sorc model. Depending on what happens and how many that joins in. For now, its 40k thats being painted and played, and it will likely stay so untill Invasion. Im probably bringing WoC this year aswell, the list depends on wether they go with the ETC comp or not. Probably they will, and I can see the use of MSU warriors on the table. Or a 50 line "mangard" of warriors... now shot your cannon at me, and see if I care to loose that 1 model.. then pretty please attack me with that 10man halberdier regiment and see me grin'... oh yea, MSU 4M godess of the empire/3M dwarfs.. oh wait?

On the painting side, im getting my sprays tomorrow, so that will complete a storm raven 3 raz. Im awaiting some FW doors for the raider, so he is on hold for the moment. So only need to paint 5 more PAGK and get the shields from maelstrom for the crusaders and I got what I need to make some cool lists! all done in about 2.5 months. Not bad to be honest! After that I will refresh my space wolves. Got 5 Thunderwolves incoming and 10 ML LF to paint together with those, make some standards to go and wulven marked gits and magnetize 3 meltas.. not that big of a job realy, so should be done by mid autumn. I promise i will take some pictures soon, but all this browsing and news here and there realy get in the way!
