Tau Fandex: Path Finders

Tau FandexLast Wednesday I came to the conclusion that I cant stand playing my Tau any more. I was teaching a friend how to play Tau. We were playing annihilation against a Thunder Wolf spam list and we played pretty well. My friend and I made few mistakes and we took advantage of the lack of experience that our opponents brought.

Welcome To Scotland

This is him ACTUAL SIZE! Bonnie Prince Charlie was a very wee man.

This is what Scotland looks like, honest.

That awkward first post…

Hi, I’m Grumhelden.   I have other blogs, you may have read them, you probably haven’t.  Either way your thinking “who’s this guy?”.   I’m Scottish, from Glasgow, I’m full on working class and I play Games, nah, I *love* games.  For my part here on Creative Twilight, I’m hoping that I can contribute more about the how’s and why’s, as opposed to the who’s and what’s of our hobby.  There will be batreps, tournament reports and progress reports on the Blood Bowl Team I’m converting up, in future, god willing.  For now, let me kick off with some stuff on how things are here in Scotland in gaming terms.  I’m sticking to gaming terms because I don’t want to ruin that image of a kilted ginger Janitor you have in head right now.

Bloggers: Old Stuff Day is Approaching

Old Stuff DayLast year Rob at Warhammer 39,999 began Old Stuff Day. In short, it’s a day where every blogger showcases articles they’ve done over past year (or longer), that might have fallen off the radar, maybe it’s just something you’d like to bring attention to again, stuff you may have done before you gained popularity or just anything you’re exceptionally proud of.

Hobby: Chaos Terminator Complete (Pics)

Disciples of Twilight EmblemSeems like I was working on this model forever. Once I had decided my paint scheme I wanted to see it on a model and began painting this Chaos Terminator. Once I had things base coated I knew I liked the scheme and left him that way for a while as I worked on models that ‘needed’ to get done. I finally got back around to him and I’m glad he’s finally done.

News: Celebrating 2-Years of Blogging

Blogging BirthdayThis month, two days ago actually, marked the second year of me blogging. As I’ve mentioned before I began this blog for commission painting in June of 2009. In January of 2010 I started blogging about 40K and eventually phased out the commission painting.

Master & Apprentice: Fun Idea

Master & ApprenticeAt my FLGS we’re going to be starting something that’s been dubbed Master & Apprentice and it’s what it sounds like. I’m posting about it because I think it’s an awesome idea that any gaming group should do now and then.

Command Center: Happy Belated Birthday & v1.12.1 Bug Fix

Command Center: Free army list building tool for Warhammer 40KI’ve spent so much time working on it that I forgot Command Center turned 1-year old in November. Technically it’s far older than that since for the first two’ish years of its life it was known and used only by me. However, just over a year ago I threw it out there to the public. To those not familiar, Command Center it is a free army list building tool for Warhammer 40K.

Battle Report: Chaos vs Blood Angels

Battle Report - Blood AngelsI’m trying to take a new approach to my Chaos lists. At this point I’m over the honeymoon stage where I feel compelled to throw down all sorts of different stuff to learn about the army. That’s not to say there aren’t still units I want to test out, still plenty of those, but that I’m comfortable with the army now at least. So on Wednesday when I got to play I brought along this list: http://cmdctr.net/lists/712. I was planning on an 1,850 game so I threw in the Havocs to make points, it was quick and easy.

Tactics: Breaking The Rock

Tactics Lately I have been thinking about my GK build. When GK was launched I saw an opportunity to make a quirky army filled with a variety of henchmen. I like to kit bash and collect minis from different ranges.
