Writer’s Block

Posted on September 21, 2011 10:47 am by Thor

Lately my mind is a cold dark place when it comes to ideas for articles. I’m struggling to put out anything at all lately. I need a shot of inspiration but I’m not finding it from my usual haunts or methods.  Read more... (79 words, 1 image, estimated 19 secs reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Quick update and fluff

Posted on September 14, 2011 07:33 am by Kamui

Hello all!

I know I’ve been absent for some time, but I have been making slow progress on painting and haven’t really felt like I had much to post.  I am four marines away from competing my core of Grey Hunters and will post a group shot when I get there.  I’ve also started on a squad of Long Fangs to break things up, pics of them will be posted when they’re finished.  For now I’ve written the second half of the origin story for the Reavers.  If you don’t remember it or haven’t read it the first half is here:   http://creativetwilight.com/2011/07/kamuis-summer-challenge-2011-reavers-origin-part-1/

Now on to part two:  Read more... (708 words, 1 image, estimated 2:50 mins reading time)

Greetings my fellow gamers, Amberclad here again and today I was going to write up a review of the new space marine game, but my thoughts have been on more serious matters. That’s right; I’m talking about 9/11.  Read more... (349 words, estimated 1:24 mins reading time)

Orks: My Realization

Posted on September 8, 2011 09:07 am by Thor

Last night at my FLGS I played a game with my Orks, which I haven’t done in five months. This month’s tournament will score painting and then in November, details coming soon, we’ll be hosting a large hobby tournament. I figured since I’ve played the hell out of my Marines that I’d toss down Orks for these events, seeing as my Chaos force is still in the modeling stages.  Read more...

Kill Team Gripes

Posted on September 1, 2011 10:09 am by Thor

Every now and then at the LGS we do a Kill Team tournament on our 40K night. It’s perfect in that we can play a 3-4 round tournament in a few hours and nobody is out late on a work night. Plus it just mixes things up a bit so we’re not doing the same thing week in and week out.  Read more... (305 words, 1 image, estimated 1:13 mins reading time)

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)

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.  Read more...

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)

‘ard Boyz 2011: The Bumpy Road

Posted on August 8, 2011 08:52 am by Thor

I had all these intentions of going into ‘ard Boyz completely prepared and ready to fight my way to the top but somewhere along the way something changed. I had my list concept determined and was playing the hell out of my Marines so I’d know them inside and out. The lists always focused on a core utilizing Shrike, Assault Marines and Assault Terminators, the rest was adjusted as needed for whatever point value we were playing that day. Then one day I said the hell with it, I’m going to just show up and have fun.  Read more... (384 words, 1 image, estimated 1:32 mins reading time)

Lessons Learned: Campaign Report Week #3

Posted on July 14, 2011 08:42 am by Thor

Continuing into week #3 for the campaign at the LGS I was paired off against a Chaos Marine player. The game was seize ground with pitched battle deployment and a few catches. First, terrain features were nominated as objectives. Second, as the defender (the Imperial side having lost last week), I had to deploy my entire army first and then the attacker got to decide if he wanted first or second turn.  Read more...

Know when to hold em

Posted on June 29, 2011 07:00 am by Stealthy Stealth

Last Wednesday I got a 1500 point game in against Amberclad. I brought out my Grey Knights and he fielded his Dark Eldar. You may not know this but Amberclad is kind of a big deal. I will also tell you that I have beat him, more than once. However he won this game. By that I mean he beat me like a school girl and I cried.  Read more...

I’ve Got That New Army Itch

Posted on June 11, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

I’ve been seriously considering starting up a new army but haven’t nailed down what yet. To complicate the decision there’s the inevitable new Necron codex due out sooner than later but until I see it I can’t say for sure they’ll be my next investment.  Read more...
