The Pirates are coming!


Life has been a blur with all the lesson plan deadlines and student issues during my practicum. I mean teaching has been great but I really need my dose of Warhammer too! Anyway, it will be a good hiatus for me as YC takes his exams. God bless you with good health and strength, YC!

Now I love my Space Vikings. I even came up with a mech list (direct opposite of my Krom Dragongaze foot list) but I am constantly reminded of the times when someone will simply say that SW are overpowered and Runepriest cheese and yada yada yada... I haven't even played them with my SW! Kinda depressing but thankfully I know I have the best WH40k peers with YC's gang, Alvin and Edward and gang, and of course the amazing guys from Serene Centre (they gave me a truly wonderful WHFB experience [I play HE] and I hope to catch up with them after my practicum).

Ya, sorry for the rant. Anyway I was reminded of the conversation I had with Sam before he left (miss ya bro!) where I told him about my love for Eldar jetbikes - too fast too furious eh. Well, I was reading my One Piece Manga when it struck me that the Dark Eldar pirates suit me better =) Especially since it is an underused and "not overpowered" army. So I checked out Stelek's list for some inspiration and Lo and behold! I found this list that I can scale down to 1500 and it has SEVEN Raiders and THREE Ravagers. Question is how I can afford 3 Ravagers. Sigh. Now, this is my idea of too fast too furious but without the OMG-OP-Fortune-Seer Council bikers. I also found this DIY Raiders website (http://www.batreps.com/gjb-work.htm). Should be a fun project to occupy myself with after my practicum =)

Now of course my high elves will be the pirates hee hee. Should be fun!
