Chaos Marines & Allies

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

I’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)

Tournament Rundown: Devastation

Posted on December 19, 2012 08:44 am by Thor

This past Saturday was a 1,500 40K tournament at my FLGS. It was a food drive and so you brought in canned goods and non-perishables to get in-game abilities like re-rolls, +1 strength, etc. I played Disciples of Twilight, my Chaos Marines, using this list: http://cmdctr.net/lists/disciples-of-twilight-1500-mech/. Last week I explained the idea behind the list. Read more... (558 words, 1 image, estimated 2:14 mins reading time)

The Hall Of Heroes: 2k No-Holds-Barred Warhammer 40k Tournament

Posted on November 29, 2012 12:00 pm by ShotDownMind

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...

New Army Itch

Posted on November 18, 2012 06:00 am by ShotDownMind

NEW Army Itch

It’s that wonderful autumn-winter Season here in the High Desert of Reno/Sparks, Nevada – the cool windy center of WOLFBROTHER Territory. Many of our brothers attack the snow covered mountains of the High Sierra with sadistic glee. Some lick their wounds from the last brutal local tournament and prepare for the next, and others get ready for the last murdermake of 2012 down the mountains into California. The great chill of winter is almost set in, and everyone has big plans for the great 40k off season. Read more... (933 words, 8 images, estimated 3:44 mins reading time)

Battle Report: 1,750 Tournament

Posted on September 25, 2012 06:30 am by Thor

Saturday was my FLGS’ monthly tournament for 40K. It was 1,750 and here’s the list I brought along. In my earlier practices I realized that my troop selection was too small and I wanted to bulk that out. Often the problem with the current Chaos codex, in order to do that I had to pull/reduce from somewhere else, namely my heavy support and also my HQs. From my previous play testing though I didn’t think it would hinder me much at all. Read more... (843 words, 1 image, estimated 3:22 mins reading time)

Necrons and 6th Edition

Posted on August 24, 2012 06:30 am by Lukas

Welcome to 6th, where you will find all your tanks riddled with gauss and warriors playing poker planetside until rudely beamed onto a game winning objective. Hurray for fliers! But really folks, you may remember my brief experiment with the 5th edition scarab farm (it was just a phase, I’ve since learned), I find myself at a similar viewpoint with Night Scythes.

Feast of Blades Qualifier Report

Posted on August 6, 2012 09:59 am by Thor

Saturday was the qualifier for Feast of Blades in my area and I attended with my Space Marines. By the time I had arrived there were only 7 tickets sold for the event but a bunch of people made it last-minute, quite literally, and we ended up having 11 players. Read more...

6th Edition Necron Ramblings

Posted on July 15, 2012 07:00 am by Lukas

Well damn. If Codex Necrons was designed for 6th, I see a lot more rage directed at me. Specifically the “our most basic gun can kill your most advanced tank. In *Three-Four* shots. This is fair and legal.” Welcome back to fourth? I never played it, but I foresee bitching. Read more... (879 words, 1 image, estimated 3:31 mins reading time)

This past weekend was my final tournament in 5th edition. We were playing 2K and I brought along my Chaos Marines. I was hoping to go out with a bang, and I suppose I did… Read more... (549 words, 1 image, estimated 2:12 mins reading time)

Battle Report: Chaos vs Necrons

Posted on June 22, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

This Saturday is a 2K tournament at my FLGS and so on Wednesday I got in a practice game. I wanted to play against Necrons to help get more familiar with them as I tend to draw, if I’m lucky, but mostly I lose to them. Read more... (520 words, 1 image, estimated 2:05 mins reading time)

Battle Report: 1,750 Team Tournament

Posted on May 15, 2012 08:14 am by Lukas

Saturday a friend and I went to a team tournament, it was 1750 points per player. Yes, you read that right. Per player, meaning 3500 point teams, 3500 vs 3500. The games were long, but really bad-ass and fun. It was overall a really enjoyable day and I’m glad we went. Read more... (1372 words, 1 image, estimated 5:29 mins reading time)

Last night I managed to get in two games with my Chaos Marines. We have a tournament this month that’s 1,850 with Imperial Armor allowed. I don’t own any IA stuff so it’s bog standard stuff for me. Read more... (632 words, 1 image, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

Necrons: Rakzan’s Redemption

Posted on April 27, 2012 06:30 am by Lukas

So, in the new Necron Codex they mention a really badass character, Rakzan. The sole remaining survivor of the Khansu Dynasty. Part of this article is directly from the book (as it establishes his ‘preface’), but this is mostly my own expansion of the Prince’s story. Read more...

Posted on April 5, 2012 09:12 am by Thor

Since the new Necrons have been out for a while I re-polled the community to see if opinions had changed on where Necrons now stand in the hierarchy of codices.

First up, let’s review the previous poll’s results when Necrons had been out for a short bit. Read more... (396 words, 3 images, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)
