I think each one of us has a favorite force organization slot with each army we play. I know with my Marines it’s elites, just so many juicy choices. With my Orks though it’s troops. Since I play Speedmek I’m fielding small units and as such I need a lot of troops to handle casualties. Read more... (218 words, estimated 52 secs reading time)
Hi. My name is Thor and I have a problem. I fail at reading comprehension.
The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? Read more... (332 words, estimated 1:20 mins reading time)
I’m altering the layout of a site a bit and while I work on that you may notice things shuffling around and not being where they should be. Like always, bear with me!
So, unless you’ve been living under a rock then you’re aware there is an Ultramarines movie coming out soon. Well, back in May they began a competition where you designed a standard and submitted it. The deadline was June 27th and there has been no word yet on the winner. The reason I mention it is because I designed one and submitted it, which I almost forgot about until I saw the file sitting on my desktop. So, since I’ve got nothing better to blog about today I thought I’d share my entry into the competition. Read more... (226 words, 1 image, estimated 54 secs reading time)

Five Tacts are just about complete and I may be able to get another five completed. Worst case is I get a good head start on the other five. We’re in the homestretch.
It appears I won’t be gone this weekend as originally planned. Hopefully that means I’ll be able to catch up on some painting for Joe. Life has kept me from it the past week.
Why can’t weekends be four days long?
When it comes to tournaments at the LGS I play at, we always end up playing the same missions over and over. There’s about six of them and they are recycled every month. They get mixed up a bit but still the same old ones we’ve played countless times. I know another player at the shop was working on some missions for the tournaments to use so I thought I’d join the cause. Here’s an idea for a tournament mission, feedback is welcomed. Read more...

Last month Blood of Kittens put up an article, Meat for Meta: 40k forums a thing of the Past?, and lately I’ve been thinking about it more. Let’s travel back in time a bit, the year is 1999. I’m running a clan/guild called Destroyers of Hope. I want us to be able to quickly and easily communicate with one another and so I find a forum software service called ezBoard. I set it up and we are posting away on the forums. Shortly after I find something called phpBB and I install that and we use that for our forums over the hosted solution. We are competing in FPS ladders on various sites and the forums are a huge asset for posting when matches are, who can make them, last minute changes, etc. Read more...

I first saw a leaked demo of this game over a year ago now and was impressed by what I had seen. Since that leaked demo I have seen official video releases and they were all stunning. Read more... (92 words, estimated 22 secs reading time)

Path of the Warrior - by Gav Thorpe
I’m not one normally for book reviews. I thoroughly enjoy reading, only 40K as a hobby takes up more time than reading, but I’m not an English or literature expert and thus the technicalities elude me. That being said, here’s my humble opinion on “Path of the Warrior” by Gav Thorpe. Read more... (309 words, 1 image, estimated 1:14 mins reading time)
Kommandos have always been a favorite unit of mine, especially with Snikrot. They’re a unit that as soon as I put into my list the list becomes exciting for me. For a while I had not fielded them and I couldn’t honestly recall why. After this month’s tournament I recalled why, mech. Read more... (509 words, estimated 2:02 mins reading time)
Another long and mentally tiring game of moving plastic models around a table and rolling dice. I didn’t fair poorly but I did not win the tournament and did not win any consolation prizes either, IE: best army, best sport and…there was another one. For the day I went 2-1, getting a massacre win, a minor loss and then a major win. Here’s the quick and dirty, oh and I was playing my Ork list that I mentioned here: Read more...
