40K Rules Quiz #4: Assault Phase & Morale

Posted on September 30, 2010 08:50 am by Thor
This entry is part 4 of 8 in the series 40K 5th Edition Quiz

QuizOne of the easiest ways to become a better 40K player is to know the rules inside and out. Even veterans will re-read the rules to freshen up and make sure they know their stuff. So, I thought it would be fun to do a 40K quiz. I’ll chop the rulebook into sections and post a quiz for each. I’m aiming to quiz on the more obscure stuff and by obscure I mean items you may have overlooked, not known or always been fuzzy on. Some questions will be easy but hopefully overall the quizzes will be a challenge to anyone taking them. Oh, goes without saying but don’t use the rulebook to look up the answers. I want to test knowledge, not ability to research.  Read more... (368 words, 1 image, estimated 1:28 mins reading time)

Posted on September 28, 2010 04:59 pm by Kamui

Posted on September 26, 2010 12:00 pm by Thor

Mission: Target Priority v1.01 (Updated)

Posted on September 25, 2010 12:00 pm by Thor

Based on some feedback with play testing on this one I’ve gone ahead and made some tweaks to the point values for destroying units/vehicles. HQs were reduced to being worth 4pts instead of 5pts. Vehicles were also changed, as you’ll see below. In short, there’s some nasty vehicles out there that in the previous format were only worth 1pt, IE: Stormraven, Vendetta, etc. Also, things like Dreadnoughts were only worth 1pt previously, which was what you’d get for destroying an Ork Trukk or a Rhino and generally a Dreadnought is much harder to kill than either of those. The scores needed to win were also increased. Lastly, I clarified the scoring when there’s an overlap for a unit regarding point values.  Read more...

Evolution of a Gamer

Posted on September 17, 2010 08:39 am by Thor

EvolutionIt was almost four years ago that I began playing 40K. Like most I began small and kept building up my army. On average I played once a month, whenever people had a Saturday free, and that’s how I played for the first three years. Games involved list tailoring, drinking beer and spending more time chatting and checking out funny shit on YouTube than it did gaming. I was by all rights a casual gamer and I loved it.  Read more... (703 words, 1 image, estimated 2:49 mins reading time)
