Chaos Allies: Giving Imperial Guard a Go

Posted on March 8, 2013 10:10 am by Thor

Imperial GuardI held off on making my preferred choice on an allied detachment until the Daemons codex came out. Let me be honest, I have not looked over the Daemons’ codex thoroughly. I have gone through it all but trying to create a list is something I have not done. The reason being that nothing caught my eye. I’m definitely not saying it’s a bad codex or anything like that, just that nothing jumped out at me and made me want to try them.  Read more...

Chaos Marines & Allies

Posted on December 28, 2012 06:30 am by Thor

Chaos Allies - Imperial Guard PosterI’m far from done my Chaos army in terms of collecting (is anyone ever truly done collecting?), but it’s built up enough at this point that I feel comfortable exploring allies. So, I figured I’d explore the options a bit here.  Read more... (450 words, 1 image, estimated 1:48 mins reading time)

Imperial Guard Allies for the Orks

Posted on December 3, 2012 04:48 am by Kamui

friends for life - Imperial Guard & OrksHello all,

As I have been re-acquainting myself with the orks and adapting them to sixth edition I’ve noticed that they (still) have some issues dealing with tanks at long range.  I’m working on some tankbustas to help with this, but even these are only really good against tanks when they get up close.  Lootas are better against tanks in sixth but still struggle with AV12+.  In fifth edition I ran primarily Speed Freek builds, using speed to overcome the ranged disadvantage. In sixth I have option of allies so I’m considering some Imperial Guard.  Read more... (907 words, 2 images, estimated 3:38 mins reading time)

The Hall Of Heroes

Hardcore Warhammer40k In Sparks, Nevada

Hello and Happy Howlidays everyone! For me Warhammer 40k Tournaments each are like a good book – I get deeply engrossed within each one and then BAM its all over and I have a hangover for a week. That means last week in addition to stuffing myself full of Thanksgiving goodness I was also in the serious process of recovering from the Wolfbrothers’ latest incursion into California at the end of the year Contest of Champions. Next week I will be deeply involved with getting ready for and competing in the next installment of our local no-holds-barred “Hall Of Heroes” escalation Tournament series!  Read more...

The Balance of 6th Edition

Posted on August 30, 2012 09:25 am by Thor

6th Edition: BalanceLast night at my FLGS we got to chatting about 6th edition after we had all played our games for the night. Someone, I forget who though I’ll gladly give credit if I do recall, was saying how in 6th edition the era of the few power builds are gone. I can’t help but agree with the sentiment. That’s not to say there aren’t power builds out there but that the game has completely changed and with it the idea that an army only has a couple of viable lists or that there’s one army to rule them all.  Read more...
