Surprise! Also Templecon Prep (yes, already)

So a couple of good friends are going to GenCon this weekend (jealous) but guess what they've graciously agreed to do for me?  Getting me a Woldwrath!  That's assuming, of course, that they'll be able to snag one before they sell out, but I'm really really excited to get my hands on this model - especially before the normal release date.  While I won't be able to use him in tournaments, I'll be eager to get him painted up in the style of the rest of my constructs and get him onto the tabletop soon so I can start playtesting him in preparation for Templecon this year.  Oh yeah, it's only 6 months away and I want to see if it's worth taking the giant rock-ape!



I wrote about my thoughts on the Woldwrath earlier this week and remember that I said that I really can't see this guy being played in games less than 50 points.  While I have not had the opportunity to play many 50 point games lately, I hope that the Templecon team tournament remains a 50 point event like it was last year, since the NETT was only 35 points and I'm feeling the itch for larger-sized games.  Without knowing anything else about the Templecon Team Tournament, I'll share 4 lists at 50 points that I want to start testing out for viability - a couple of which feature the Woldwrath, of course.
