Turn 3 win for the Wolves with Blitz and T&H.

The Grey Hunters are expensive at 300 points for Tacs with a character and without missile launchers. The codex formation would be 325 points. Six missile launcher shots are worth more than 25 points, I'd say 50 or 75 points.

Scouts were great for a crossfire but that's about it. I'm fine tossing a 150 point formation out to die in the codex list, but think better of it when they're 225 points for identical stats.

And you are probably right on both points, especially with the Scout

I know this is only one game, but you basically spammed the two units you think is "over costed" and still managed to win. That isn't bad :P

Identical stats? Doesn't wolf scouts have teleport also?

True, but would you pay 75 points for the ability (on this kind of unit)?
Teleporting also mean you leave the rhinos and other support at home, that said I would have put the price tag at 25-50 points. Probably 50 since they are very good for crossfire with their high strategy rating...

Some sort of mousepad material mat. Frontline maybe?

Besides getting my ass handed to me yet again, there doesn't seem to be many issues with the list. I'd echo Dave's and Gunslinger's concern about the cost of the core formation - seems out of whack to me. The only other issue is that while the termies don't teleport, you gain a cheaper formation that can, which allows the SW player to 'win' the teleport position jockeying by easily fitting more than 1 teleport fm into his list. This gets me a little concerned about spamming teleporters. Not a big concern but there nonetheless.

the highlight of the game for me was the mat - the rest sucked donkey balls, frankly. The LGS went all-out and put them on almost all of the tables. They're top-notch. If only they had spent a little more on the new bar stool chairs; those things have all the structural integrity of... [metaphor failure] something with really poor structural integrity.
