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

Thousand Sons Competitive Battle Report: Psychic Awakening of the Cults

Greetings friends of Prospero. AKA, those who do nothing wrong. The question is, can we do anything right? The following is a quick recap of a fairly competitive game. I do not know my opponent’s list before hand and we are playing CA2019 Maelstrom which has been a lot of fun since the update. I (and my opponent actually) are

My 40K Prospects for the 2020 Season.

Well we’re getting close to 2020…. er, I guess I should say we’re a few months INTO 2020, and I haven’t seemed to fall in love with anything I’m playing. I like to rant with the assistance of pictures, so let’s have a look at what I’m painting, and considering. First up the joke that has become the Custodes. I

Prot’s Wraith Style Craftworlds vs. Blood Angels.

– I had a game against Blood Angels. It was rough. I had to write this quickly so I apologize for the lack of lists, and super descriptive moments, but you’ll get the idea…. It had some crazy moments. Basic highlights/low lights: – I went second. But got the map where you play the long way, or 24″ away with

Battle Report: Black Legion Vs. Orks (competitive)

Here’s an attempt of mine to be better with the battle reports. This is going to be a quicker version in hopes of getting more batreps done! First off I was bouncing some ideas off of people on the Bolter and Chainsword forums, and I keep getting some advice to give a real shot to some units that I personally

Hobby Update of the Damned: New Thousand Sons, and a Sorcerer.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to update with some new painted stuff. These aren’t the best pictures but the timing is good since the release of “Ritual of the Damned” (Book 4 in the Psychic Awakening series). Starting with the man himself; Ahriman. He took a lot longer than I wanted, but he’s pretty much in every

New Thousand Sons Ritual of the Damned Mini-Batrep 1 vs Blood Angels. A playtest review of the new rules.

These are my opening games with the new rules. I can’t say they are fantastic, nor do I feel these will have near the impact of the other rule sets in Ritual of the Damned. To go further, I think I felt a ton more impact from the Eldar supplement, but what this does have is a lot of ‘feel’

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

Eldar Craftworlds: Do Wraith Units Work? 10 Game Competitive Summary over the Christmas Break.

Well this little piece comes as a reminder, to myself as much as anyone, how my Eldar seem to function from the point of view of getting Wraith units to work. The core of the list is loosely the following: 2, and then 1 squad of Wraiths (now on foot, x10 with Axe and Shield). 3 Vibro Cannons. (Cheap and

Prot’s Eldar Scheme Finalized. The First Finished Models and Test Models.

Sometimes when I’m deciding on a scheme I get asked how I come up with my recipes whether it be my Ultramarines, or Custodes, or these Eldar. And I always say it’s just a little extra work but it goes a long way. What I mean by that is use a simple test model, and get the ‘uncertainties’ out of
