Weekly Battle: Fate’s Angels vs Team Edward

Posted on June 27, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (764 words, 3 images, estimated 3:03 mins reading time)

Weekly Wrap-up: Two Weeks in a Row!

Posted on June 26, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (259 words, 2 images, estimated 1:02 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Summer Challenge 2011: Introduction

Posted on June 25, 2011 07:00 am by Kamui

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.  Read more...

June Tournament Pictures

Posted on June 23, 2011 08:42 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

Rok Da Vote: 40K 6th Edition Rumors

Posted on June 21, 2011 09:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (308 words, 2 images, estimated 1:14 mins reading time)

June’s Team Tournament Conclusion

Posted on June 20, 2011 08:49 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (1129 words, 1 image, estimated 4:31 mins reading time)

Weekly Battle: Last Practice Before Saturday’s Tournament

Posted on June 17, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (590 words, 1 image, estimated 2:22 mins reading time)

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...

Necrons: Will the New Codex Inspire?

Posted on June 10, 2011 07:00 am by Thor

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.  Read more... (378 words, 1 image, estimated 1:31 mins reading time)

Recognizing a Lost Cause

Posted on June 7, 2011 10:34 am by Thor

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.  Read more...

Saving Money!

Posted on June 6, 2011 08:00 am by Amberclad

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.  Read more... (766 words, 1 image, estimated 3:04 mins reading time)
