Tournament Report: Chaos Climbs to the Top

Posted on March 17, 2013 08:31 am by Thor

Tournaments burn me out. I enjoy them, don’t get me wrong, but after one I’m hardly in a condition to write-up cool reports. That being said, I didn’t do one for the previous month so something is better than nothing, right? Read more... (1166 words, 2 images, estimated 4:40 mins reading time)

Deathwing – 6th Edition

Posted on February 26, 2013 06:30 am by Epaminondas

Back in January, I played in a local tournament with Deathwing, for the first time with the new codex. I thought hard about all the nice new toys – cheap Tacticals, expensive flyers, new toys for the Ravenwing. Read more... (1148 words, 1 image, estimated 4:36 mins reading time)

Missions: Updates

Posted on December 7, 2012 01:37 pm by Thor

I’ve gone through all of my missions and done a little tweaking. Nothing major really, deployment type changes, clarifications, formatting, etc. I figured I’d save the mission spam and just do one post to acknowledge that. Read more... (72 words, 1 image, estimated 17 secs 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...

Orks in sixth: What I’ve learned so far.

Posted on November 19, 2012 11:28 am by Kamui

Hello all,

Shortly into 6th edition I decided to shelve the Space Wolves for a bit and bring the orks back out. My biggest reason for doing this was a chance to work on something different. Although there are plenty of things you can do to the marine models there is a freedom of expression with the orks that isn’t quite the same with other armies. Anyway, I wanted to review what my games with the orks have taught me so far. Read more... (1468 words, 1 image, estimated 5:52 mins reading time)

Standish Standoff 2: Kamui’s thoughts

Posted on November 12, 2012 09:55 am by Kamui

Hello all,

If you’ve been reading my posts for the last couple of months you know I’ve been working to pull together an army for the Standish Standoff 2. Thor did a good job of covering the basics so I won’t re-hash too much of what he covered but it was a great event and I wanted to cover my experiences. I do have some criticisms to make, but they are very minor. Read more... (1071 words, 3 images, estimated 4:17 mins reading time)
