Vashtorr the Arkifane or Trashtorr the Arkifail?

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

World Eaters: Exalted Eightbound Completed – Tactics and Pictures.

I felt so inspired by Angron that right after finishing him I jumped into these Exalted Eightbound. I know they aren’t getting a lot of play because for their points they really aren’t that impressive, and they lose core, and the ability to come out of reserves in T1. But that being said I found they do have a place,

Prot’s Hobby Update and Unit Review: Hammerfall Bunker, Firestrike Turrets, and Primaris Techmarine.

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

The Ultramarines are Back! Some Thoughts on Codex Space Marines for 9th Edition.

What follows is a combination of conversations covering my involvement and history with Ultramarines, and some quick takes on the new Codex units. It took some time, but they are finally back in my possession. For some context, let me say I have painted and sold a ton of armies in my time, and yes there are some regrets along

Prot’s First game of 9th Edition (sort of): Adeptus Custodes VS. Orks

As usual time is a bit of a crunch but I really want to get this batrep out. I know there are a lot of Custodes fans out there and none more than me wanted to see how they will fair in 9th edition. Be forewarned that this is really a ‘Maelstom’ Game of… let’s say 8.5! We used a

Psychic Awakening 4: Ritual of the Damned. First peek

Games workshop just gave us our first official glimpse of Thousand Sons rules for the upcoming release of the latest Psychic Awakening installment. The story is an often used one: Magnus must be stopped. (Though we know he did nothing wrong.) He wishes to ‘speed up’ the advancement of mankind by creating something that will propel us into an advanced

Should you buy GW’s Painting ‘Spray Stick’?

For starters I’ll be honest, if I told my wife I bought a stick for 24.00 CAD, she’d probably whoop me over the head with it. But I had to try it…. Joking aside it does seem wasteful and perhaps only Games Workshop / Citadel can get away with charging this much for a plastic stick with a bagful of

New 8th Edition Space Marines have Landed: We’re Feeling out the Strange, New Meta!

Excuse me it’s been a while since I did a battle report but I soon discovered with the new codex that… there’s a lot to discover! In this article I will share some of my early findings (positives and negatives) while sprinkling in some various shots of games (not just my own.) I’ve been playing a lot of games whenever

Ultramarines Quickie Battle Report: New Space Marines Codex for 8th edition

This is just going to be a brief overview using a list I more or less feel is pretty accurate. As I write this I don’t have the new codex in my hands but I’ve played a few games with the new rules and the Ultramarines in particular. It’s funny how the rules overall seem really decent, but there’s no

Chaos + Chaos Knights: Part 1 Hobby Update

First a little background… When the new Chaos Codex came out I was just happy to see a new Abaddon and some rehashed old units. I ended up taking Black Legion to an ITC local GT and did not do nearly as well as I did with my Death Guard Chaos army. Which is fine. I fully understood that I
