Space Marines: A Review

I am very excited about this post because it is my first Codex review on the blog. You guys have read a million of these, have your own ideas, and lets be honest have much better things to be doing than spending hours on a 40k blog so I am going to hit on, in my opinion, the major talking points of the book, what I like, and what I dislike about it.  Chapter Tactics The chapter tactics mechanic in this book were very obvious to be...

Da Boyz Contingency Plans

Hey Guys, Bill here; as you know I am planning on attending Da Boyz GT with my Eldar jetbike army. While I really do not have a major concern about it getting done, but the possibility has given me an excuse to play around with a list that would require little investment, be something very different and of course not be a net list. I noticed the bountiful amount of LD based abilities and psychic powers. I than looked at my beautifully painted Traitor...

NOVA 2013: The Armies

Good evening everyone, So I wanted to just reach out about my observations of the most common lists I saw at the NOVA open and what I felt about their validity overall and if I felt the list was a gimmick or a completely legitimate all comers GT winning army. I am also going to try to cover if the army is difficult to win with or easy to play. I am going to grade each aspect of the army based purely on my observations. Please keep in mind that...

WTF?: NOVA 2013

Hey Guys, Bill here with a quick rundown of how my NOVA 2013 was, some quick ups and downs about the event, and some whining and crying about why my performance this year was so terrible lol. Pros: Venue- The Hyatt Regency in Crystal City treats gamers better than any venue I have ever been too. They are fantastic and while last year; food was an issue when trying to eat between rounds, this year; there were several new food choice locations which...
