Site News: Looking for Interested Authors (Updated)

Posted on October 30, 2012 06:30 am by Thor

Yep, another round of trying to wrangle up some new authors for the blog. Seems like for every six who are willing to do it, and try, only one will make it. Most show up, put up an article or two and then disappear into the warp to never be seen again. So, here we go again. Read more... (337 words, 1 image, estimated 1:21 mins reading time)

Chaos Marines: Using Marks

Posted on October 26, 2012 09:14 am by Thor

As I’m working on building up my Chaos Marines army I keep pondering marks. The beauty of the new codex is you can mark damn near anything. Using the right mark on the right unit for the right job can really push a unit from good to great. It can also be used in a way that’s not very point efficient as well. I figured I’d share my thoughts on the various marks. Read more... (984 words, 1 image, estimated 3:56 mins reading time)

Chaos Marines: My HQ Choice Thoughts

Posted on October 24, 2012 08:55 am by Thor

I’ve been quiet lately because I’ve been doing a lot of thinking with the new Chaos codex. If there’s one area I’m struggling with in the new Chaos codex it’s the HQ choices. There are a lot of good choices and they all have their own merits. As I’m gearing up to build out my Chaos force I have to consider the leaders of my army and I’m just not sure. Where before the HQ choice had little to no impact on your army, that’s all changed. Read more... (1166 words, 1 image, estimated 4:40 mins reading time)

Chaos Marines: Keeping Loyalists in Their Tanks Since 2007

Posted on October 21, 2012 08:13 am by Lukas

Hey all! Lukas here, your friendly neighborhood Necron!
Browsed through the new CSM book, beautiful stuff. Especially love the fluff, and some of the thematic lists you can make! 200 Zombies anyone? :D . What really impressed me though, was the combos you can pull off. I’ve always liked list synergy, and deep down we all have a soft spot for gimmicks. But when I saw this, I could taste the cheese.

Hobby: Bloodletters Complete

Posted on October 17, 2012 07:58 am by Thor

This past weekend I managed to get in a lot of painting and knock out a unit of 10 Bloodletters. First up some shots, which aren’t very good. I’ll get better quality ones later when I have time to set up my light box and everything. They do also look better in person. These shots are washing them out. I just wanted to get some quick shots up while they were still on my painting table. Read more... (340 words, 4 images, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)

First run with Orks in 6th ed.

First run with Orks in 6^th Edition

Hello all,

It was a busy week and I’ve only managed to finish one more of the lootas. I’ll hold off on pictures until I finish the tenth and (for now) final member of the mob. I did manage to get in my first game with the Orks since the start of 6^th edition so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts and what I’ve learned. Read more...

Rok Da Vote: New Chaos Codex

Posted on October 15, 2012 10:06 am by Thor

Well, we’ve had the new Chaos codex for a bit over a week so I wanted to see what people thought about it. Between the new units, changes to existing units (including force organization alterations), and the general change-up as a whole to the codex, there’s a lot to digest. That being said, I think we’ve all formulated our general idea of the codex. Read more... (115 words, 2 images, estimated 28 secs reading time)

Chaos Marines: My Plan

Posted on October 14, 2012 06:30 am by Thor

The interwebz is covered in Chaos Marines articles and this is one for the pile. As I’ve mentioned recently, I’m getting ready for a 40K tournament next month and so I’m focused on that and using the units I have. However, once that is done then it’s time to refocus on what my plan is for my Chaos army. See, I haven’t bought any of the new toys yet. I’m avoiding distractions on the hobby front and new models, though pretty, are distractions. Of course this doesn’t mean that I haven’t thought about what I’d like to do. There’s one direction that I’ve always enjoyed with armies, though none of pulled it off in the manner I was completely happy with, and that’s speed. Read more...

Chaos Marines: First Experience

Posted on October 11, 2012 08:41 am by Thor

Last night I played against Dark Angels with my Chaos Marines using a list I’m planning on taking to next month’s big 40K tournament. The list is far from great as I’m using what I own, what I have painted or can paint before the tournament, and working what I can within the comp system for the tournament. Read more...

The Agony of Choices

Posted on October 10, 2012 07:36 am by Thor

As everyone is well aware, the Chaos codex came out this past Saturday. As excited as I was for it, and am to have it, it creates a problem for me. Next month is my FLGS’ large annual 40K tournament. Last year I couldn’t play Chaos because I was far from having the army completed in terms of painting. This year I can do it but I need to nail down a list ASAP so I can get the needed models painted for it. Read more... (429 words, 1 image, estimated 1:43 mins reading time)
