A Guide to Playing 40K Faster
March will see the release of the latest 40K expansion, Battle Missions. Bell of Lost Souls posted up a video sneak peak a few weeks ago that you can see over at the BoLS site.
It was about time for a new look here. The theme I was using before I had built off of an existing theme. Since I was just getting familiar with WordPress I kept it simple. Many months later and having played around a lot with it, I’ve grabbed this great theme and am still in the process of getting things setup. I’ll probably alter the theme it a bit to give some flavor but out of the box this theme is just great and I see very little that I need to bother altering.
March’s Tournament – Team Play (Retake)
On second thought, my often neglected Necrons will see the field in this team tournament. Nobody fields Necrons in the tournaments I’ve attended or on the regular Wednesday night 40K nights. I only know of one other person with Necrons and I know he won’t be fielding them. I figure let’s throw something out there nobody will expect…well unless they read my blog but I’m sure none of those guys do.
March’s Tournament – Team Play
So next month at Crossroads we’ll be doing a team tournament with a random partner. Each person will bring a 1,000 point list using normal force organization, though we’re debating using Adapticon’s approach with a restricted force org chart, which I’m all for. Hopefully we’ll have a good turnout for this because I think it’s going to be a great time.

So far I’ve built a Predator and two Rhinos for Joe. I’ve got a lot left to go but making steady progress!
As previously mentioned, I’m assembling and doing some paint work for Joe on his Space Marine company. The large box full of stuff showed up yesterday and I got a start on putting together a few Predators. It’s going to be a long process but it will be quite the accomplishment to have done a full company. There’s also some nice Forge World stuff in there, a few Dreadnoughts and Red Scorpions. I haven’t gone completely through everything yet, there’s just so much!
You Win Some, You Lose Some
In my case however I lost them all. Played at this month’s 40K tournament yesterday and was swept all three games. First game was a minor loss against Tyranids, the second a massacre loss against Space Wolves and the last a massacre loss against Orks. This was my first time trying my Space Marines, Fate’s Angels, where normally I use my Orks, Sun’z Killaz.

Battle of Inimīcōrum – Chapter 1
Well, just got a working draft of chapter 1, which is my first battle in the campaign, up and on the site. You can follow the progress of the campaign from the Librarium’s Stories page.

Planetary Empires
Down at Crossroads we have just started up a Planetary Empires campaign. Last night was the first night and we had a good showing of six players to kick it off. I’ve always been a fan of campaigns as having a goal for your battles and a chance to write in some fluff for your army is nice. We plan to play it over eight weeks, so I’ll hopefully get plenty of material to fluff out my Marine chapter Fate’s Angels some more.

Painting an Army
There’s nothing quite like seeing two fully painted armies face off in a game, especially if there’s some nice scenery. The combination of painted armies and a nice looking table really adds a layer of fun for me, it’s almost real. No longer are we pushing around plastic and metal models and rolling dice, we’re two generals facing off on the field of battle. Then there’s the armies that never see a paint brush that ruin it all.
This morning Joe contacted me about doing some work for a full Space Marine company he has. Joe has 6 Tactical squads, 2 Devastator squads, a 6-man Assault squad, 6 Land Speeders, about 10 Dreadnoughts and 3 Predators. I’ll be doing the modeling on the company, cleaning them up, assembling them and priming them for him. I’ll also be doing some base painting on the infantry. It’s going to be a big task but it will be very cool to see a full company all at once. I’ll be sure to get shots once the projects gets fully underway.
Legion of the Damned
It seems everyone loves Legion of the Damned (LoD), for their fluff but many have reservations about fielding them. Many argue that for the points you get more use out of Sternguard. Being someone who also enjoys their fluff and loves the new models for them, well I had to give them a shot. Now, when I write tacticas they aren’t written to tell you how to use something, instead they are generally more my experience with a unit and my thoughts. I’ll never claim to know the absolute best way to do anything but I do enjoy sharing my views.

My Decline from PC Gaming
I first got into online PC gaming back in 1999 with a little known game called Starsiege. I promptly realized I needed to join a squad, what Starsiege referred to a guild, in order to have some real fun. Long story short, I took the reigns of the squad that was named Destroyers of Hope and have been running the guild ever since.
