So, global
campaigns. I've never taken part in one before and if nothing else
its a good excuse to get to know some people down the local store
club. I don't know if you have to register online with a particular
army (I recall you had to in some other campaigns) but if I do I'll
break the habit of a lifetime and volunteer to be on the good(ish)
guy side with my Flesh Tearers.
The local
store manager is talking about 75 power levels as roughly equivalent
to 1500 points in the old money (I am rather a fan of power levels, I
must admit). I've been having a lot of fun with the Flesh Tearers,
though I haven't had as large a game as 75 power and I'm rubbing my
hands together in glee at all the cool Blood Angels-y things I can
try out in a larger game.
I actually
think I might experiment with the Spearhead Detachment with its six
Fast Attack slots. It seems very fitting for the Flesh Tearers,
especially as it also restricts my Troops and Elites choices which is
a nice reflection of how beaten down and undermanned the chapter is.
Also, I want
to have lots of Land Speeders because so far my one multi-melta Land
Speeder has proven itself a magnificent character sniper. It has a
weapon capable of doling out massive amounts of hurt and the speed to
whip round the flanks of the enemy to get into a nice position where
their general is the closet target.
I also don't
terribly favour tanks and heavy weapons so probably the army will
remain rather speed-based with perhaps a Devastator Squad or two at
the rear for fire support.
Now, just to
work out a basic 75 power level list and get it painted up.
