Just some quick tournament thoughts.

Well hello again, Goatboy here to start up a bit of a discussion and thought process about 5th edition and the tournament scene.  I know not everyone is all about crushing your opponent, but a good deal of the readers here want to read some different avenues to create a winning list.

So first things first, what armies would you want me to discuss or look into?  I am one of those players, that usually devours a book and looks for different bits and pieces that might make a good list.  I also like to read every new book to find out the tricks someone might throw at me during a tournament.  So if you want me to go into an army and a build I think that might be successful, I would be more then happy to create some skeleton lists to look at and build upon for your own armies.  

Besides the little discussions and break downs of current codexes, I am also planning a build article, that will showcase an army from initial concept to finished stages for tournament play. The army I am planning is a form of Codex Space Marines and the color scheme is going to be Imperial fists.  Beyond that, I have a shell of a list I want to mess around with and start to playtest as I look towards a new army to bring to the tables.  That should be starting in a few weeks as I finish up my first fantasy army in Mortals of Chaos.  I would have gone into the build of that, but being as I am not a Fantasy expert, I felt my own views would not have been as valuable as some of the other more advanced Fantasy players.

So what does everyone thing?  What army would you like me to discuss?  Oh and another thought in 5th edition.  I know everyone is worried about scoring units etc, but what if you just went about killing all your opponents units.  Just have 2 scoring units and have everything else just kill the crap out of the opponent.  You get a massacre if you kill everything right?  Why not create armies that are just designed to whip your opponent from the board.  Just a thought.




If you have any questions about the list or want to know more, shoot me an email. And again, the link below takes you to my art and miniature commission site.
