Here's what I decided to go with.. a mobile, shooty force. I was tempted to go with the "assaulty force" or the "huge troop wonder force" that I posted a few days ago, but decided that they were both too inflexible for tournament play. I'll try them out sometime, but in regular games.

Regarding painting, I managed to get my new models painted up to a very basic standard. They are recognizable, but plain -- no chest eagles, eyes, decals, etc. Zina did my Terminators up beautifully. I managed to airbrush the new rhino to an ok (but plain) level. All in all, not bad.

Zgames First Anniversary Party was fun, had some cake and soda... chatted a bit.. browsed around. Very pleasant.
