Battle Report: Disciples of Twilight vs Cobra

Wednesday my Chaos Marines faced Imperial Guard. His army is themed as Cobra. Wish I had a shot of his army, it’s cool, complete with Cobra Commander and Destro. You can see it a bit on the left image.

Hobby: Plague Squad 2 Almost Complete

The other day to motivate myself I started a workbench article and surprisingly it worked. Last night I wrapped up 5 Plague Marines. I really should have taken some WIPs while doing the sculpting but unfortunately I did not. These guys are converted from standard Chaos Marines and some old school Possessed heads. I put the Champion in the shots just to show the full squad even if he’s not painted yet. The empty-handed guys are my specialists and I just haven’t painted their weapons yet.

What 40K is to Me

This past November marked my 5th year of playing 40K and with the year quickly coming to a close I began thinking about what 40K is to me. I could spin this into some sort of psychology article but others have already done so better than I. Instead this will just be an honest article about me, something I rarely do.

Thor’s Workbench: December 13th

I’m in a big slump lately with hobby stuff. I recently moved my painting area to somewhere that made more sense but at the same time also put it further from reach. Before it was in front of me constantly and now I need to make an effort to go paint. It’s like going to the gym. You take a few days off from it and you find it hard to go back and make time for it.

Command Center: v1.11.0 – New Features

Command CenterOne of my aims with Command Center is to create a community. I want it to be more than the place you visit every now and then to create a roster or print one off. To that end I’ve added in new features which I hope people will enjoy and make thorough use of.

Command Center: Update in Progress

Command CenterJust a heads up. I’m working on Command Center to introduce a new feature and while I’m doing so you’ll likely have issues with roster sharing. All else should be fine though, no issues working on your rosters, hopefully.

Battle Report: Dark Gods and the Inevitable

Thus far my Chaos Marines, Disciples of Twilight, have had a really strong showing in the handful of games I’ve managed with them. By far the best start, win/loss ratio, I’ve had with any army. Part of that I feel is honestly because nobody plays them at my FLGS with regularity. Players are on a bit of a learning curve when across from them. Once people become more accustomed to them the harder it will be for me.

Rok Da Vote: Necron Power Level Closed

Now that players have had the chance to go over the new codex and play some games I wanted to know what you all thought regarding how effective Necrons now are. The results are in and the poll is closed.

Fluff: Disciples of Twilight

As I’m making slow progress on painting my Chaos Marines, Disciples of Twilight, I’m also slowly trying to work on their fluff but have admittedly not gotten very far with it. I’m one of those people where the fluff helps drives my motivation with an army. It’s one reason I’ve managed so many games with Fate’s Angels, my vanilla Marines; they have some relatively established fluff. Without the fluff it’s just some plastic dudes I roll dice with.

Review: Project Wonderful

Project WonderfulA month ago I began running ads from a service called Project Wonderful. In the past I had tried Google Adsense but I wasn’t happy with the ads that were being delivered to the blog. Adsense is supposed to deliver contextual ads but I rarely found that to be the case. The result was basically earning next to nothing from Google. Nobody wants to click ads for online universities and crap like that. When you have a niche market as us 40K and wargaming blogs do, you need ads that are relevant if there’s any hope of actually getting something out of putting the ads on your site.

Command Center: Promote It

Command CenterSlowly Command Center is growing. Every day there’s a few new people who create an account and check it out, which is awesome but I know it can grow more. It’s a great program but I’m a bit biased, however I also know some of you really enjoy it too.

Battle Report: Chaotic Christmas

For my FLGS’ December tournament we’ll be playing at 1,225 (12/25, get it?). So on Wednesday I brought in my Chaos Marines to get them ready for their first ever monthly tournament appearance. I’m pretty excited to see how they do as I’ve been doing really well with the army thus far.
