Firstly I should apologize for the juvenile title of this article. Secondly, I will say upfront that this is probably the most disappointed I’ve been in a rule reveal for Chaos for 10+ years. (And that is saying a LOT). Finally, before getting into this, as much as I will try not to be too revealing, there might be some

A Hobby update during a pretty heavy Covid lockdown: Truthfully I decided to knock off some units that I don’t see playing much, if at all. Just my opinion but I’ve tried the Firestrike Turrets and they might be the worst new units in the game. They move 3″, cost too much, and really suffer from line of sight issues

Hello to everyone. It’s been a while. Work has had me busier than perhaps I’ve ever been during this period as everyone is getting used to a new ‘normal’ with Covid-19. My apologies for not being more active, but my field of expertise (virtualization technologies) has me overwhelmed with projects, and no real break in sight. That said when I

Some Hobby Shots: Just some more pictures, hopefully better shots, of the army as it stands today: I did a tutorial up on painting the deathworld forest terrain super fast over here if anyone is interested.

Every list previous to the 2.0 update to my Ultramarines have included 3 of these. With the update I’ve gone down to 1 of each variant. At first I was quite peeved

First it was the announcement of a main codex, and mini codex Supplements. Then came the re-introduction of DYI Chapters, and flexible chapter tactics. Now we see some game changing mechanics introduced with ‘lighter’ Primaris units. And on top of it, we now see the re-introduction of “Doctrines”! What edition is this? Third? Fourth? Quick Peek at New Units: Most

Today we found out that Successor Tactics are available to anyone wishing to create their own Chapter of space marines and this of course allows them to pick 2 Tactics. The range is long and varied, and includes some unique choices. I won’t hash them all up, but what does this mean for competitive play? I have to confess I

Hey guys, just a quickie as I’ve been away from the blog a few weeks. I’m still playing lots of games, and painting as usual. In the past two weeks we’ve all had a great sneak peak at the new Marine update coming out. (And the new pricing too… wow!) So to prepare for new chapter tactics, and what seems

Sorry for the long delay in posts, but in my defense I have been playing a lot, and painting a lot.. just not posting a lot! Hopefully you’ve all read the Vigilus Crusade material by now, and know that the system of Vigilus is literally ablaze. And how best to do that than with the guidance of the Master’s of
