And here's the pitch.... GT here I come.

I've done the UK GT for three or four years now, always fielding my older Praetorian army, this year, yes, this year I will get my new army ready to field. Now I've said that before - for the past two years at least in fact, but finally theres a realisitc chance of getting it there. This years Heat 1 is on the 13th of October, that gives me as of today a little over 15 weeks to get the job done.

My planned list is at the moment roughly as follows:

HQ -

Command Platoon: Junior Officer with Iron Discipline, Veteran with Standard Bearer, Autocannon, Die-hards @86pts
Anti-Tank Squad inc. 3 Lascannon, Die-hards @115pts
Fire Support Squad inc. 3 Heavy Bolters, Die-hards @85pts
Fire Support Squad inc. 3 Heavy Bolters, Die-hards @85pts
Mortar Squad inc. 3 Mortars, Die-hards @85pts

TROOPS -

Infantry Platoon: Junior Officer with Iron Discipline, Autocannon, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @65pts
Infantry Squad inc. Plasma Gun, Lascannon, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @100pts
Infantry Squad inc. Plasma Gun, Lascannon, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @100pts
Infantry Squad inc. Grenade Launcher, Lascannon, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @98pts

Infantry Platoon: Junior Officer with Iron Discipline, 2 Grenade Launchers, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @66pts
Infantry Squad inc. Plasma Gun, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @75pts
Infantry Squad inc. Plasma Gun, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @75pts
Infantry Squad inc. Grenade Launcher, Die-hards, Close Order Drill @73pts

Grenadier Squad: Sergeant, 9 Grenadiers, 2 Plasma Guns @120pts

FAST ATTACK -

Roughriders Squadron inc. Sergeant, 4 Roughriders, Hunting Lances, Die-hards @60pts

Roughriders Squadron inc. Sergeant, 4 Roughriders, Die-hards @45pts

HEAVY SUPPORT

Leman Russ inc. 3 Heavy Bolters, Heavy Stubber @167pts

= 1500pts

Okay, so it's not the most effective list I've ever taken, but its a fun list and a themed list, and this year thats what I want to go for!

At the moment, looking down the side you'll see alot of this is already done, the Infantry, the majority of the Heavy Weapons Squads, all I need are the 10 Roughriders, Leman Russ, Grenadiers and Mortars. All.... hmmm wish it was that simple.

So it's time to plan my own little painting and converting vow now, how are things gonna get done over the next few weeks? This is how!

Mortar Crew (x6 Praetorian Guardsmen) - Painted by 1/7/07
Mortars (x3 Rocket conversions) - Converted by 8/7/07 - Painted by 15/7/07
