Necron Strategy/Tactics/My Thoughts Part 1

Posted on March 18, 2012 09:45 pm by Lukas

NecronsI’d like to shine light on a more balanced approach to Necron lists. A sort of all comers list if you will. While the Scarab Farm is godlike against many armies, something like Tyranids manage to laugh at it, or most horde armies in general could probably take the assault easily enough.  Read more...

Tips for Beginners: Measuring Distance

Posted on February 15, 2011 09:22 am by Thor

Tips - Invisible Measuring TapeIn my experience one of the toughest things new players to 40K encounter is dealing with distances. Unless you’re a carpenter, or some other profession that uses measurements as part of a daily routine, you aren’t going to be intimately familiar with what 24″ looks like without measuring it first. Since 40K is a game that uses measurements in pretty much every aspect of it, well you need to learn and the quicker you learn the quicker you’ll get better at the game.  Read more...

Speedmek: Fast Attack Choices

Posted on July 19, 2010 08:35 am by Thor

Speedmek: FastNow we move to fast attack for our fourth in the series on Speedmek. You would think that this would be the slot where I invest the most but it’s not. I rely on my troops, the Trukk Boyz, to do the heavy work, or Nobz if chosen. I mostly derive my speed element from Trukks. The other fast choices are there to compliment the core of Trukks, to help ensure the Trukks deliver the Boyz.  Read more... (1150 words, 1 image, estimated 4:36 mins reading time)

Speedmek: What is it?

Posted on July 9, 2010 09:55 am by Thor

Speedmek: QuestionSpeedmek is a term I’ve used to define the style of my Ork lists. The name rather obviously covers the style, it’s fast with mek elements to it, but I’ve never really gone into any depth on it. I thought I’d give a shot at running a series around my Speedmek style and hopefully share some insightful info and give you something to look forward to, well at least the Ork players out there. My plan is to break down my lists based on the force organization chart but for this entry I’ll try and give an overview of what the style is.  Read more...
