Well I passed my bike test yesterday so I have a feeling painting may grind to a halt for a week or two as I'll be putting some miles on the bike!
Also, after much deliberation, and taking in to account what people have said, I have decided to make my siege shield a dozerblade and drop the melta bombs(to save points) in my 500pts army for TomP and put a flamer in the tactical squad and in the assault squad. I have had no good luck with flamers in the past but lets hope this time will be different!
