Lessons Learned: The Failure of Confidence

Posted on September 8, 2010 07:17 am by Thor

ConfidenceWe’ve been doing this tournament at the shop that spans two weeks. The other week was the first week and so last week we were pairing off appropriately, losers vs losers and winners vs winners, and I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. I got there late and there was one person left not paired off, who fortunately happened to also win the previous week, so we grabbed a table.  Read more...

Blog: Finding My Voice

Posted on August 31, 2010 09:06 am by Thor

Blog: Finding My VoiceI began this blog over a year ago as a platform for commission painting. This past February I decided to start posting about 40K and try and bring this blog into the mighty 40K blogosphere. Surprisingly I’ve managed to hammer through six months of posting my musings and ramblings, making it beyond the typical mark many bloggers do before burnout sets in and ideas run out. However, now I’m finding myself at a crossroad.  Read more... (486 words, 1 image, estimated 1:57 mins reading time)

Gauntlet #3: There Can Be Only One

Posted on August 20, 2010 08:14 am by Thor

Something I see a lot at the LGS is doubling up on HQs, or more in the case of Space Wolves. I rarely double up, usually only at 2K and above and only if I plan to field Nobz as troops. With my Marines I don’t think I’ve ever doubled up on HQs, though maybe I have, hard to recall. So for this week:  Read more... (285 words, 1 image, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)

Gauntlet #2: Less is More

Posted on August 6, 2010 09:02 am by Thor

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, 1 image, estimated 52 secs reading time)

Lessons Learned: Kommandos

Posted on July 26, 2010 07:22 am by Thor

KommandosKommandos 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, 1 image, estimated 2:02 mins reading time)

Gauntlet #1: Bench Warmer

Posted on July 23, 2010 01:01 pm by Thor

Most every blog has its shtick, right? Well, here’s my conceived one, the Gauntlet. The goal here is to stimulate thoughtful assessment of a situation, a strategy, an idea, whatever it happens to be. You can’t look at things in a new way if you don’t ever try.  Read more... (189 words, 1 image, estimated 45 secs reading time)
