Codex: Bolter Bitches

Posted on August 30, 2011 07:00 am by Amberclad

Greetings all! Amberclad here again, and today I want to talk about your sister….um…I mean the SISTERS OF BATTLE!!!

So unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that over the past two months, GW has released the new Sisters of Battle codex via White Dwarf. Now, when I heard the news that this was going to be another White Dwarf codex, I cringed, seeing as the last one (Blood Angels) was god awful. I was at least hoping they would have learned from that debacle and made the necessary changes to make this a quality codex. So let’s take an in depth look at the new rendition of the Sisters of Battle. Read more... (1287 words, 1 image, estimated 5:09 mins reading time)

Battle Report: The True Test of Chaos

Posted on August 25, 2011 08:53 am by Thor

Last night I played two 1,850 games with Chaos. My first opponent was playing vanilla Marines with a Legion of the Damned army using Vulkan. He, at the recommendation of another player, was trying out Tigurius. He list featured three Drop Pods, two full of Tacts and one with Sternguard who were joined by Vulkan and Tigurius. He also had two full Legion squads. Naturally the entire list was melta heavy. Read more... (990 words, 1 image, estimated 3:58 mins reading time)

A Bit of a Break and Changing Gears

Posted on August 19, 2011 09:14 am by Thor

With ‘ard Boyz over, and not having qualified for regionals, it’s time to set aside my Marines for a while and focus on my Chaos army. For the past eight months I’ve played the hell out of my Marines and though I’m far from bored with them, rather the beauty of Marines if you ask me, I want to get my Chaos army on its feet.

Blood Bowl Lessons Applied to 40K: Pacing

Posted on August 15, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

A few months ago I did an article about how Blood Bowl translates to 40K. As I continue playing Blood Bowl, I highly recommend it to anyone, I continue to find lessons from Blood Bowl that are directly applicable to 40K. This lesson is about pacing. Read more...

Since I wasn’t able to participate in ‘Ard Boyz today, and those who did are probably not going to post anything tonight, I thought I’d toss up a few close-ups of the Grey Hunters: Read more... (35 words, 9 images, estimated 8 secs reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: One Down…

Posted on August 12, 2011 02:34 am by Kamui

Ok, so the summer is slipping away and I’m far from finished with my army. The Bjorn conversion took a lot more time than I’d expected. The good news is that I’ve finished the modelling I need to field my list, and the paint scheme I’ve chosen lends itself well to batch painting. I have one full squad of Grey Hunters finished and a bunch more underway.

Below are some pictures of the first squad finished, 10 Grey Hunters with 2 Plasma Guns, one Mark of the Wulfen, and one Wolf Standard: Read more... (202 words, 4 images, estimated 48 secs reading time)

I managed my second practice game for ‘ard Boyz last night at my FLGS. As nice as it would have been to have gotten in more practice games, especially since this list is completely revised from my last, I’m not going to sweat it. Read more... (467 words, 1 image, estimated 1:52 mins reading time)
