Weekly Battle: Fate’s Angels vs Team Edward

Wednesday night I got in a game against Blood Angels, an army I routinely have problems dealing with effectively. We ran a 2,500 game to try to work out some ‘ard Boyz ideas. Here’s the list I put together.

Weekly Wrap-up: Two Weeks in a Row!

First time in a long time I put up a Wrap-up for two consecutive weeks. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot going on this week.

I put up a battle report of the LGS’ June tournament. It was a team tournament, which is always fun and myself and my partner managed to win painting awards. Our painting outperformed our game play though. There’s always the next one.

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Introduction

For a long time now I’ve been forming the vision of my marines reborn.  I’ve been tweaking my fluff to match with current canon and gathering some of the models I wanted to include.  It looks like I’m going to have some extra modeling time during July and August so I’ve decided to set a goal of a completely painted 2000 point army by the end of summer.  For your entertainment, and for my own motivation, I’ll be posting my progress here.

June Tournament Pictures

At the tournament this month we had someone going around taking shots during games. We also had a painting compeitition for 40MM and 60MM categories which anyone could enter a model for. I had entered into both categories and won the 60MM category with my Ironclad and my partner for the day, Amberclad, won the 40MM category with his counts-as Thunderwolf Calvary.

Rok Da Vote: 40K 6th Edition Rumors

By now many have seen the rumors circulating about 6th edition for 40K. If you haven’t seen them then take a look around, they’re easy enough to find. In light of the recent rumors I figured instead of jumping on the bandwagon of reporting them that I’d instead toss-up a poll to see what you thought of them. As usual, the poll can be found on the right or below.

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion

The team tournaments at the LGS are probably the most looked forward to events we have. It’s generally 1,000 to 1,250 per-player so beginners can generally make the points and having a partner always lends a different atmosphere to the games. This past Saturday was no exception for turnout with 20 players in attendance.

Weekly Wrap-up: Catch-up Edition

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a wrap-up so some of this goes back more than this week.

Weekly Battle: Last Practice Before Saturday’s Tournament

This Saturday is the LGS’s team tournament. It’s 1,250 per-player, random partners with a modified force org: 1 HQ, 0-1 elites, 1-3 troops, 0-1 fast attack, 0-1 heavy support. You can double up one of the 0-1 slots. This makes pairing up easier to avoid things like 4 heavies.

Community Pimp’n: 3rd Week of June

Here’s some stuff you should read. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for articles worth pimp’n then fire away. I surely don’t read all the great blogs out there, just not enough time in the day.

I’ve Got That New Army Itch

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.

Necrons: Will the New Codex Inspire?

As usual at the LGS we tend to spend as much time talking about 40K as we do playing it. Naturally the topic of Necrons emerged and I realized that even with a new codex for them I may not even be interested. For the record, I do own roughly 1,500pts of Necrons, so we’re talking about a continuation of the army, not starting new.

Weekly Battle: Team Tournament Preparation

This month will be a team tournament at my FLGS so last night we opted to play a team game to get ready. As usual I took Fate’s Angels, my Marines, lead by Fate Lord Monthu (counts-as Shrike). Here’s the list I ran:

Recognizing a Lost Cause

A game of 40K, or any game really, is often a back and forth struggle. One moment you gain an advantage and the next you’ve lost it and are on the defensive. A lot of hard decisions need to made and one of the decisions I see people struggle with, or even fail to recognize, is when a cause is lost and no longer worth pursuing.

Saving Money!

Greetings!

Amberclad here and I wanted to take this time to introduce myself seeing as I’ll be one of the new writers here at creative twilight. I’m an avid gamer of all sorts with warhammer 40k being my favorite game of them all. I’ve been playing since mid 3rd edition, survived the horror that was 4th edition and have done pretty well in the glorious 5th. As of right now I maintain 2 standing armies, Black Templars and air cavalry Imperial Guard. I hope to be bringing a wide variety of topics from the modeling and painting side of our hobby to the competitive side seeing as I love both equally. So with all introduction aside I guess I’ll start with my first ever article and something that has been on my mind for a while.
