Had my first game of 8th 40k last Saturday against the Guard, man it was fun. I put the Eldar aside for just a little bit as the Tearers are nearly completed as a painted army. I finished re-basing the entire army and now have a three colour min on every model. The commission for my tanks and death company from <a href="https://www.frontlinegaming.org/">Frontline Gaming</a> makes for one sharp looking army. The list I ran is as follows (with one exception - I had equipped two heavy flamers on the dreadnought and the company vets were stock with one powerfist):<br />

The rhino rush is back! Seth was a beast of a beat stick as well as a great force multiplier with his area reroll buffs. First turn the three rhino's pushed into the enemy deployment zone while the stormraven pushed a flank. I deposited the missile launcher tac squad in my back field and moved up mid field on the flanks with my Baal preds My opponents turn one saw two of my rhino's destroyed but they absorbed the entirety of the Guard's fire power. Turn two saw me crush face. The deathcompany exploded from their rhino with +1 strength from priest and reroll hits (I failed both psychic tests for 4++ save and +1 attack). The dreadnought charged and wiped out a Russ and started causing havoc with his gun line. My two tac squads were tied up in combat with his assaulting chimera's and did little. <br />
<br />
The real MVP were my tanks. While the damage output of the Baal preds was a bit underwhelming, being able to assault and tie down large portions of my enemy paid off in spades. I made changes to the list so that the army will be WYSIWYG. While 2 heavy flamers on the dread is better than equipping the melta gun and storm bolter I did not want to hack up the model to make changes (it is another model well painted by frontline). Not too discouraged by running the melta gun: as the unit proved to be a really good at anti armour. Plus with the freed up points I was able to equip the Vet squad all with plasma pistols (I gave the sergeant a plasma and a bolt pistol in honour of Cypher). <br />
<br />
Over all the army plays well, it is very aggressive in your face which I think is a fun way to play this game. I need to touch up the vet squad with the remodeling to plasma pistols and finish painting up my priest and banner bearer. Otherwise the army is complete and gtg for 2k points. I think this is the first time I'm playing with a fully painted army. I should have the last bits done this week, then its back to painting up my wraithguard.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-18478328006475688212017-06-10T13:28:00.000-06:002017-06-10T13:28:06.860-06:00Wave Crush: 2000 Point Ynnari 8th Edition List<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Watched a couple of battle reports and had some more time to digest the new rules for 8th. Came up with a 2000 point list that I think will be very strong for new edition. A nice bonus is that the army is few in models and well on the way to being painted. Its only one Vanguard Detachment but I think there is a ton of built in synergy that only having 4 command points won't be too debilitating.<br />
<br />
Vanguard Detachment:<br />
<br />
HQ:<br />
Spiritseer<br />
Warlock - witch blade<br />
<br />
Elites:<br />
2 x 5 Wraithguard - wraithguns, wave serpent, vectored engines, star engines<br />
5 Wraithguard - d-scythes, wave serpent, vectored engines, star engines<br />
5 Wraithblades - axes, shield, wave serpent, vectored engines, star engines<br />
<br />
Heavy:<br />
Night Spinner - shuriken cannon, crystal targeting matrix<br />
<br />
Flyer:<br />
Crimson Hunter: crystal targeting matrix<br />
<br />
Total Points: 2000<br />
Total Wounds: 140<br />
Total Command Points: 4<br />
<br />
Potential Shots a Turn:<br />
10 x strength 10, -4ap, d6 damage<br />
5-15 x strength 10, -4 ap, 1 damage<br />
2 x strength 8, -4 ap, d6 damage<br />
2 x strength 8, -3 ap, 3 damage<br />
2d6 x strength 7, ap0 (-4 ap on wound roll of 6), 2 damage<br />
39 x strength 6, ap0 (-3 ap on wound roll of 6), 1 damage<br />
4d3 one time mortal wound shots (plus smite from warlock and spiritseer)<br />
<br />
Really low model count but everything hits really really hard. The wave serpents move/advance 13 + 2d6 inches a turn putting 20 wraithguard down my opponents deployment zone for turn two. The serpents are tough being -1 to hit and reducing all damage by 1 with 13 wounds at toughness 7 with a 3+ save. I suspect one or two serpents likely with die by end of turn one but they will absorb a ton of fire power. If a wave serpent is destroyed, then I can place the wraithguard unit on table, remove the serpent then soul burst the wraithguard squad. I love it!<br />
<br />
The Night Spinner will stay out of sight in my deployment zone thinning down hoards or putting wounds on light vehicles. It's mobile enough to score objectives in my zone as needed. The Crimson Hunter is a distraction unit that will hunt monsters, medium vehicles and flyers. It cannot be ignored as it hits on 2's and wounds tough 7 and less on a 3+. Rerolling wounds against units with fly type is icing on the cake. It is also extremely fast to grab hard to reach objectives for points as needed. <br />
<br />
The real meat and potatoes are the wraith units. They just seem boss. Three wound models that cannot be tied in combat with a leadership 9 makes for a heck of a solid core to build around. I've a nice spread of wraith units to help deal with whatever army I may face. I will likely save my command points for re-rolls on shooting the d-scythes. The Wraithblades are there to tar-pit elite units and or super heavy walkers. The Spiritseer will run with this squad giving them +1 to hit and re-rolls on hit rolls of one. The Warlock will try and stay as central in the meatball of wraithguard to cast conceal.<br />
<br />
I think having only 6 models to put down turn one will more times than not give me first turn. I foresee a lot of wave serpents crushing into assault with pile in moves to tie up major parts of my opponents army to reduce incoming fire to the wraith units. Over all I think its going to be a rock solid army that is fast, tough, and hits hard both against hordes and tough units. Really looking forward to getting a game in to test it out.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-43724165242559862402017-06-05T23:08:00.000-06:002017-06-05T23:08:01.059-06:001850 Eldar Iyanden 8th Edition<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had some time to digest the leaked rules and put a list together I want to try out (hopefully this Wednesday).<br />
<br />
Vanguard Detachment:<br />
<br />
HQ:<br />
Spiritseer<br />
<br />
Elite:<br />
2 x 5 Wraithguard - wraithcannons<br />
5 Wraithguard - d-scythes, wave serpent (underslung shuriken cannon, twin link shuriken cannons<br />
<br />
Troops:<br />
2 x 10 Defender Guardians - scatter laser<br />
<br />
Heavy:<br />
Wraithlord - sword<br />
Wriathlord - 2 starcannons<br />
<br />
Super Heavy Auxiliary Detachment:<br />
<br />
Wraith Knight - sunncannon, scatter shield<br />
<br />
Total Points: 1850<br />
Total Units: 9<br />
Total Wounds: 130<br />
<br />
So I'm hoping an Eldar wraith army will work this edition. Really like the wraithguard on paper. A loss of toughness but an increase in wounds seems like an overall buff. But because of the increase in points they may not be the most efficient choice now even though they effectively have hit and run. I think the way to run them is as ynnari. <br />
<br />
The plan with the above list is to run the spiritseer up the middle of the board behind the swordlord and two basic wraithguard squads as an anvil. The d-scythes and wraithknight will push a flank and act like a hammer. The 2 starcannon wraithlord will stay back and protect my guardian squads. It's a low model count but has a high wound total. <br />
<br />
Placement of the spirit seer is key as he provides a nice buff, army wide, against enemy units within 6 inches of him. I plan to play very aggressively pushing him deep into the enemy. He will also be buffing 40 wounds worth of wraith units with conceal. The wraithknight seems like too many points but I really feel like I need to include if I want to keep the iyanden theme. I picked the suncannon because I want the 5++ save and don't want to be forced into assault all the time.<br />
<br />
Its a slow army and I might just get shot off the table. I like the look of it though and I hope it can hold its own in the new addition.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-38168468375500548552017-05-29T11:53:00.000-06:002017-05-29T11:53:25.353-06:00First 8th Edition Eldar Battalion Detachment Nearly Completed...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nearly done my first detachment that will net me 6 command points. Farseer with singing spear, Spiritseer, Guardian squad with to be determined heavy weapon and 2 x 5 man Avenger squads. The Avengers are nearly done, cleaning up and finishing a squad that I had started back when the 6th edition Eldar codex dropped. Paint wise:<br />
<br />
Blue:<br />
-Layer of Alaitoc Blue over existing paint job<br />
-Highlight of Hoath Blue.<br />
-I may end up painting the face plates blue or clean up and highlight the black.<br />
<br />
Guns:<br />
-Plan to paint the brown strips with a layer of Ushabti Bone and Screaming Skull highlights to keep consistent with the defender squad catapults.<br />
-Will keep the black bits black to help tie in with future wraithguns. I'm going to try deep blue highlights on the black bits.<br />
<br />
Yellow:<br />
-I plan to go over yellow frills on helmit and sash with agrax wash, Yriel yellow with Dorn Yellow highlights.<br />
<br />
Red:<br />
Eyes and soul stones same as defender squads.<br />
<br />
Once the Avengers are completed its time to paint up some wraith guard. The goal is to get 2 regular 5 man wraith squads done. Moving on from there I will either paint a wraith lord or 3rd wraithguard(blade) squad of some sort. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping I can take single Warlock seer councils to act as my hq choice moving forward. That way I can better up my command point totals with vanguard and spearhead detachments . I'm also inclined to paint up the plastic Autarch with sword, hawk wings, fusion pistol, mandiblaster and wings as an additional HQ choice. I have a feeling that the Autarch will provide an extra command point to a battleforged army due to the fluff. Plus I anticipate the Autarch being able to charge into combat: dish out some mortal wounds with the mandiblaster, jam a melta pistol in someones face, and fly out of combat with the wings.<br />
<br />
Thats all for now.<br />

First squad is done and time to move on to another unit. Over all a bit sloppy and plenty of room for improvement, but table top worthy. Not to sure on the base colour used. Think next unit I will go with a less redish brown. Guns are ok but I'm wondering if I should have gone black with blue highlights. I really need to work on my edge highlighting, but that is what the next unit is for.<br />
<br />
Colours used:<br />
<br />
Guns/Wraithbone: karak stone base, agrax earthshade shade, ushabti bone highlight.<br />
Base: stirland mud, eldar flesh dry brush, agrax wash. Doombull brown for bottom ring.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-50347062732479837322017-05-17T09:03:00.002-06:002017-05-17T09:03:57.780-06:008th Edition Iyanden Combat Patrol<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe I've started painting again. Man its been awhile. 8th edition has me fired up. I put together 500 points of Iyanden (points likely to change with 8th) using a combat patrol detachment. Bring on the new edition!<br />
<br />
Hobby wise, I've come up with a paint plan for my yellow. Need to write it down here in case I need to come back to it down the road. <br />
<br />
Yellow Armour:<br />
<br />
1) Prime white<br />
2) Prime yellow army builder spray<br />
3) Outline model with agrax earthshade<br />
4) Layer yellow with yriel yellow<br />
5) Highlight with dorn yellow<br />
<br />
Blue Bits:<br />
<br />
1) 2 thin layer's of alaitoc blue<br />
2) Edge highlight hoeth blue<br />
<br />
Gun:<br />
<br />
1) Heavy wash of agrax earthshade<br />
<br />
Eyes and Gems are red but I need practice on these bits. Not sure what method yet to employ. Blue bits need some work on highlights and shading. Also I need to figure out a good highlight for the guns that pull the colour away from yellow. I like the heavy wash over the yellow primer as it looks like a nice organic brown (which is good for wraithbone I think). Finally I plan to base models with Stirland texture paint. Not sure on wash or highlights for base yet.<br />

Wow over a year from my last post... well what can I say it's been awhile. So new Aeldari book equals a fresh look at my Iyanden army that one day will be complete. Here is the list:<br />
<br />
Ynnari Warhost:<br />
HQ:<br />
Single Warlock Council - Singing Spear<br />
<br />
Troops:<br />
2 x Guardian Squads<br />
<br />
Elite:<br />
5 Wraithguard - D-Scythes, Wave Serpent<br />
<br />
Wraith Host Formation:<br />
Spirit Seer<br />
5 Wraith Axes<br />
2 x Wraithguard - D-Guns<br />
Wraithlord - 2 flamers, wraithsword<br />
Wraithknight - Suncannon<br />
<br />
Total Points: 1500<br />
<br />
So the idea is to lead the charge with the guardian squads and my lone wolf warlock, to provide cover saves and trigger soul bursts. Behind them are the two foot slogging wraith guard squads along with the wraithlord that will push forward with extra moves from the soul burst ability. behind them is my wraithblades escorting my spirit seer. The spirit seer will roll/reroll on the Ynnari warlord traits table. If I get to pick my powers I'm not sure what I would go for.<br />
<br />
The Wraithknight will pop around filling in gaps as required and trying to stay in 18 inch range of the spirit seer to stay twin linked. I equipped the wraithknight with a suncannon for the invul save as well as a better chance to deal with horde style armies. I may switch to the sword though and try for first turn charges. If I take santic powers on my warlock, I can try and kill him off with peril's. That would give the wraith knight a potential charge range of 26-36 inches right out of the gate. <br />
<br />
The wraith guard with d-scyths don't really benefit from being in the formation (unless the wraithguard units get battle focus - I don't think they do) so they are taken in the normal cad. They push a flank and do their thing. Though I don't want them out pacing the army too much so as to leave them out of the 7 inch soul bursting range.<br />
<br />
The army is essentially built but for some bits and bobs for the guardians. I can focus on a three colour min fairly easily I think. Then again it may be another year before I look at 40k. <br />
<br />

<br />
So, I just can not get into the Eldar right now. I tried. Still will keep my promise to myself to finish the army this year. I have been into the hobby though. Been working on my Blood Angels. I love the models. Its a bit of relief really. Don't care about power level, I'll wait until the next codex to be competitive. I'm going to play models that I want to paint. This is the list:<br />
<br />
Lord of War:<br />
Dante<br />
<br />
HQ:<br />
Priest - Angels Wing, Valour's Edge<br />
Terminator Librarian - Level 2, Combi-Melta<br />
<br />
Elite:<br />
5 Sanguinary Guard - Inferno Pistol, Banner<br />
5 Assault Terminators -Hammers, Banner, Land Raider Crusader, Multi-Melta<br />
Furioso Dread - Drop Pod, HF, Frag Cannon<br />
<br />
Troops:<br />
2 x 10 Tactical Marines - Rhino, Melta Gun, Combi-Melta, HF<br />
<br />
Fast:<br />
5 Assault Marines - 2 Flamer Pistols, 2 Flamers, Jump Packs<br />
<br />
Total Points: 1850<br />
<br />
Its a big old brick of a list and I don't care. Always wanted to run terminators and a land raider. I was going to go with melta guns and a combi-melta on the assault squad but I decided to use up the left over blood angel bits from the tac marine boxes. I still need to add some blood angel bling to the rhino's and land raider then its time to prime. <br />
<br />
Not sure how to go about painting though. I need to try out some paint schemes on a few test models. My friend will give me the use of his air brush to prime and put a dark red base coat down. I also have a can of chaotic red army painter primer. I think I will go with the air brush. Its hard to beat for a smooth base coat. I will likely go with a deeper red than mephiston for my base. Not really interested in light red marines with orange highlights. The darker red I go, the more in unison the new army will be with my Flesh Tearers. <br />
<br />
It's a one trick pony list. In deployment I put my land raider up front and center with the two rhinos behind. Everything else is in reserve. Turn one the drop pod comes down. The land raider and rhinos move flat out right into the center of the other army. Turn two, my rhino's and land raider are likely dead but I have 20 marines and 6 terminators on the other side of the board. They shoot then then assault. Turn 2 dante, priest and guard come down to pop a tank and the assault marines come down to burn a hoard. Turn three I assault everything I can with what ever is left of my army. Live by the sword, die by the sword.<br />
<br />
The following are some photo's of the army being assembled:<br />

<br />
Wow, its been quite some time since I last posted. What can I say GW has had a wonky last year. Starting last year out I was fired up to run the new Blood Angel book that just hit the shelves. It soon became clear that the BA were developed for a previous mindset/edition. Rather than update the Angel's to the new system of army design GW sold us a load of lemons.<br />
<br />
With the sour taste still in my mouth the new Eldar hit the shelves. It was easy to forget the bad mojo of the BA's with a rule set of my first and true army arriving around the corner. I had been working on an Iyanden army with the release of Eldar 6.0 and waited with baited breath for 7.0's version. What did I get? A bi-polar opposite army design from my new BA's. To add insult to injury I was considered a cheese fest beardy player by wanting to run my Iyanden army. <br />
<br />
Needless to say my interest of 40k tanked at this point. But I had the new fantasy rule set to look forward to being released in the summer of 2015. And what did I get? I half-assed attempt to reboot the fantasy franchise. Don't get me wrong, I want to like fantasy. But I'm a creature of habit and desire a proper rule set to play a game. The simpler the rules the better but without some sort of basic structure to engage in a social contract with fellow gamers, Age of Sigmar fell flat on its face. What I received was a bullshit marketing campaign force feeding me more garbage after suffering indigestion from my previous 40k experience. I currently have more fun playing make believe with my kids than pushing sig-marines around a table top.<br />
<br />
So I stopped playing. This tanked my hobby drive. At its core, I like building and painting models but without a fair game system in place I lost my mojo. I've turned a corner for 2016 however. I still have limited interest in buying anything new from GW but I have aquired a healthy colection of uncomplete models. 2016 is the year of cleaning up old projects and a return to the rule of cool.<br />
<br />
That all said here is my 2016 hobby resolution: to complete to table top standard an 1850 Iyanden Craftworld Warhost. Here is the list:<br />
<br />
Guardian Battle Host:<br />
- EML's for the Guardians.<br />
-Farseer upgraded to Jetseer, Singing Spear and Spirit Stone<br />
<br />
Wraith Host:<br />
-Wraithcannon Wraith Knight<br />
-Wraithlord with Glaive and Flamers<br />
-2 x 5 Wraithguard with basic guns<br />
-5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes and basic Wave Serpent<br />
<br />
Wraith Construct:<br />
-Hemlock<br />
<br />
Total Points: 1850<br />
<br />
I have the models and undertake to buy nothing new for the Eldar this year. Screw GW. But heck I still like them (feel like a battered hobbyist). Come rain or shine I will play the hell out of this list. As far as the hobby goes I'm going to focus on finishing the above 1500 army to a three colour standard. From there try and finish the whole 1850 shebang to the same standard. We'll see where the hobby takes me after.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-20169154191527159712015-06-09T18:58:00.001-06:002015-06-09T18:58:14.746-06:00New 1750 SM list.<p dir="ltr">This is what 1750 points gets you in new SM codex...<br>

Rather than working on my army for the escalation tourny I've been assembling a pure Blood Angels list. Got carried away with wanting to start painting a new project fresh. Really looking forward to building and painting the above army. I need to bling up the pods and raider with some BA icons then time to spray. Going with another army painter primer. Learning my lessons from Iyanden and my Lizardmen, I will prime white then apply a light coat of army painter dragon red.<br />

After red prime is down I'll switch to GW paints. The army list is as follows:<br />
<br />
HQ:<br />
Terminator Librarian - Level 2, Combi- Melta<br />
Priest<br />
<br />
Elite:<br />
5 Thunder Hammer Terminators - Banner, Land Raider Crusader, Multi-Melta<br />
Furioso - Drop Pod, Frag Cannon<br />
<br />
Troops:<br />
2 x 10 Tac Marines - Drop Pod, Melta-Gun, Combi-Melta, Heavy Flamer<br />
<br />
It's going to be a bad ass looking army on the table top! The new Eldar codex really sucked the joy out of my Iyanden army. Glad I've rediscovered the Blood Angels. Full steam ahead.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114916845066391402.post-73709791871072422015-06-04T15:24:00.001-06:002015-06-04T15:24:48.459-06:00Archangels 1rst Company<p dir="ltr">While working on my flesh tearers I caught the 40k bug. I want to build a proper blood angel detachment to go along with my tearers. Loving new librarian and new blood angel terminator skulpts. Just picked up a furioso dread to go along with my termies. Nice 500 point package. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hq<br>
Terminator Librarian -melta gun, auspex</p>
<p dir="ltr">Elites<br>
5 Assault Terminators - banner, thunder hammers.<br>
Furioso Dred - pod, frag cannons</p>
<p dir="ltr">Total Points: 500</p>
<p dir="ltr">Plan to plug the above detachment into my existing 650 point army of flesh tearers. I admit I've really come around to all of these detachments. I'm having fun planning them out. These plug and play elements all with there special rules are fun to mull around. Also makes for easier management of projects. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Another big reason I want to do blood angels proper is that I had front line gaming paint up most of flesh tearer army. I love the paint job. But rather than try and recreate it I want to start with something fresh.</p>

Rebased my old marines to the new standard. Looking good I must say. It was touch and go with a couple of them and some toes were lost to the warp. Not sure how I want to base them. Likely will use the GW material. Before that I'm going to go through the army systematically touching them up. Will start with assault squad as they need the most work.</p>

All painted and wysiwyg number one rule. I've focused on 500 points using the flesh tearer detachment. After tourny is over I want to run it with my eldar spirit host detachment. Nice prepackaged 1500 point list. Anyway army is as follows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">HQ<br>
Librarian - auspex, gallians staff</p>
<p dir="ltr">Troop<br>
Tac squad - flamer, heavy flamer, rhino</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fast Attack<br>
5 Assault Marines - 2 melta guns, rhino</p>
<p dir="ltr">Elite<br>
5 Death Company, jump packs</p>
<p dir="ltr">I like that it is a stand alone army using flesh tearer detachment. Leaves me lots or room to try out some allies.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In order to complete it I need to paint 5 more marines and rebase all the models. I have a 30 day window to get it done. Time to dust off my hobby tools and paint.</p>

About 12 armies (all different) have signed up. Story driven games. It should be fun. Im going to bring Flesh Tearer's. It's the path of least resistance. Deadline for painted minis is June end. Just need to tidy up details and rebase on bigger space marine bases. Looking forward to some games.</p>

Getting the army built is taking longer than I thought. Time is a precious commodidity that I have little in store of lately. Still though, the guardian boxes came in and I've started assembling them. On the painting side of things, getting a white then army painter yellow coat down will take no time at all. I will paint up the blue bits en masse. Then its a dark brown for the weapons (later to be highlighted bone colour for a wraithbone look) and a quick splash of paint on the bases. This will give me my three colour min army wide. Only then will I look at highlighting the models. Frankly I've got my first wave of robotech tactics sitting on a shelf waiting to be assembled. Want to start that project up sooner than later as well.<br />
<br />
The list above is as follows:<br />
<br />
Wraith Host:<br />
<br />
Spirit Seer - Kurnous's Bow (had the points left over)<br />
2 x 5 Wraithguard<br />
5 Wraith Axes<br />
Sword Lord<br />
Wraith Knight - (probably switch out to sword from photo above)<br />
<br />
Guardian Defender Host<br />
<br />
Far Seer - Spear, Stone<br />
3 x 10 Guardians - EML's<br />
Viper - EML<br />
War Walker - Scatter Lasers<br />
Weapon of Vaul - Vibro Cannon (only have bits to build vibro cannon)<br />
<br />
Total Points - 1500<br />
<br />
Not sure if EML's are worth it even though they have skyfire. AP 4 gives flyrants a armour save. Still though 4 shots a turn at regular BS should help deal with flying monstrous critters. Helldrakes will be the bane of my army I think. Having twin linked across the board for my wraith units might help out in this department.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day the above list is not uber broken. For one thing there is no mass S.6 scatter bikes. It is a foot list that though relatively fast, is not really so much when compared to a standard Eldar list template. At any rate just need to plug along to get the army built then I'm off to my FLGS with an army to run for the next 6 months or so.Kaughnorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.com1
