Don't take Bulldoze for granted




Found this on a "my bad" search.  Searching "oops" only gave nip slips...
It's getting late and I'm extra tired for some reason, so this one is probably going to be of a lesser quality than usual.  A fitting 200th post.  Turns out that when I skipped over reading the full text for Bulldoze in the Wrath entries, I missed a subtle change.  Bulldoze is just in activation now it seems, as a poster on the PP boards pointed out, so Black Ivan's heroic breakout from last week shouldn't have worked the way it did.  I think Sorscha could have done the deed herself, but it would have been a closer thing, and it was plenty close already.  Lesson learned here: read the whole page and/or card, even if you already know the stats on a Bombard or what Bulldoze does.

From one mistake to a potential other, I've made a list that the internet will hate for a game of 40k tomorrow.  I have a hard time making a list, or undertaking any enterprise really, that doesn't work as well as it could.  As such, I tend towards running similar lists and units because they're just more effective and/or efficient for their cost.  Unfortunately this means that a lot of things I like never see the table.  In an attempt to embrace 40k as more of a hobby and less of a competitive game, I made a list full of things I like but never play, things like:
  • Chaplain

  • Baal Predator

  • Vindicator

  • Attack Bike

  • Death Company...

  • ...in a Land Raider

And various other things to fill points.  Beyond a pair of Assault squads and Sanguinary Priests, I have no redundancy.  Even the Assault squads are slightly different, so the only spam is the two priests.  I've never run a real hybrid list before, though I've come close once or twice, and I've never used a Land Raider.  I'm not even sure I've played against a Land Raider.  I'm also more excited about running this list than I have been for a while, if only because it's so different from what I tend towards.  Thanks in part to the "hurricane," and also to my faulty memory, I'll be fielding a couple unprimed models, but at this late hour that's unavoidable.  In my defense they're models I never expected to field any time soon, if ever.  I wanted to get a multimelta Dread in but just couldn't make it work in the points, nor could I stomach the idea of proxying a drop pod with a Gatorade bottle.  Will this be the game where EV's Deathwing wins a match?  The stars are aligning for it.
