Although I probably only play my Ultramarines in the area of once or twice a month, I still like the new kits that came in Shadowspear. I think the one I use most often in lists is certainly the Infiltrators. They feel a bit heavy point wise, however they’re a great push back tool on some aggressive alpha striking armies.

With the end of the Vigilus campaign I can wind down my Black Legion as they near completion. Unfortunately I’ve burned out a bit as I’ve painted so much of them in a short period of time. I’d like to end this series with one of the best sculpts I think Games Workshop have done in a long time…. The

Probably some of the biggest releases of the year follow us into early 2019 so I figure I better get painting some of my favorite pieces before I get too far behind. I really love what Games Workshop did with Calgar and the Victrix Guard. Will they be enough to save Vigilus? Probably not. I have a gut feeling Abaddon

An update for Ahriman, a new Enlightened Tzaangor and a new addition Decimator style! So you may remember I played many games using my Decimator and at the time GW increased the point cost of a Soul Burner Petard substantially! Nevertheless I found him quite usable in areas the Thousand Sons can suffer in; namely taking down vehicles/high toughness. With

For the love of Mars I don’t know what I was thinking over the Christmas break, but I decided to come up with a personal challenge to get myself playing and working on Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights. Long story short I had set about the task of completing the following: 2 Kastelan Robots w/Magnetized wrist mounts. 2 Armiger Helverins

I’m super excited by this, and I know it’s a very contentious issue in our hobby but we all have to understand; the hobby has to grow. To quote the most hated of Xenos scum… it’s for “The Greater Good”. Love or hate Primaris this weekend Games Workshop revealed what their teaser video had hinted at. Marneus Calgar would step

So after that last horror show which I reported on last week, I wanted to get another game in using these two armies. Although we used the FAQ it had an interesting effect on the GSC’s ability to Strike from the Shadows. It really forces you to play more defensively than you want to because they will have more time

Greetings everyone. I typically do Battle reports on the Bolter and Chainsword but we’ve been down for a while now however we should be back up sooner rather than later with any luck. In the meantime I thought I should put up a quick batrep based on my trials and tribulations with Deathwatch. They’ve been surprisingly difficult to play and

It’s been a few days since an update and while I’ve been still working on a lot of projects I really haven’t finished much. I’m still slowly plodding away on Admech, Custodes, and even the Deathwatch still but the project I’ve been really enjoying is the Thousand Sons. Ahriman has taken me a very long time. I would do him

So if you’re like me you’d much rather play 40K than build and paint terrain. But I do believe part of a great experience comes from great terrain. I won’t lie… the Deathworld Terrain never appealed to me. “Aquarium trees” probably best describes my initial reaction. But they’ve grown me as I’ve seen them applied on different boards, and to
