So today everyone, this blog went over 200,000 views!! I want to thank all of you that visit, comment, and bring a good attitude whether you agree with me or not! I never imagined just few months ago (it seems a lot longer) I would have this level of readership. It is great to see this go from me talking to myself on the internet to having discussions and answering questions and helping the 40k and Imperial Guard community.
I will maintain this blog as first and foremost a haven for the Imperial Guard, though I may talk about other things, this is still a home for common soldierly of the 41st millennium. Give me some time, but I will start knocking through the tactics of the new codex like before, as time goes on expect V2.0 of those already written articles.
I want this to be a place of discussion and information, and everyone that comments constructively and asks questions adds to this community and helps share knowledge and ideas that others may never have thought about. So keep up the comments, all that I ask is that you keep it civil, this is still MY blog despite everything and I will take action if comments get out of hand. Luckily this hasn't really been an issue besides a few borderline cases.
So thank you all again! Keep visiting, commenting, and emailing. This is a community and we grow and improve through sharing and helping each other out. And yes we can have an impact on the game and the "meta".

'grats on the milestone, but it's been well earned.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent, fun site fer any fan of the Guard, and the hard work you've put in is plain to see.
I like your views on community as well. We try hard at The House of Paincakes to encourage the same kind of thing- a free and open exchange of ideas, where anyone can voice their opinion and expect to be treated with respect and not ridicule.
Cheers, good sir!
Now, on to half a million views!
Looking forward to some new tips, tactics and reviews of the new goodies!
Thanks man, much appreciated! Means a lot. Well I try to encourage discussion, its no use spouting one opinion as truth. Everyone has an idea and disagreeing is all good as long as respect is there. You guys have a great site and attitude.
DeleteHere's hoping, I'll get there one day. It'll come in good time, got to get some play time in, that is if I can drag myself away from my storm troopers/scions, as I am determined to make that army work good!
Congratulation! As SinSynn said, I really like your open view of the games and community and that the most important thing is to have fun. That´s just like me :)
ReplyDeleteNow, unto 500k and more tips about Tempestus :D
thanks man! Well as I see it, being competitive is great, but the point is to have fun and not destroy everyone, so some sort of balance is in order between building a hard core list and having one that your opponent will have fun against.
DeleteMore will def come on tempestus, I am set on building an army with them and winning with them.
I'm brand new to the hobby, definitely knew i wanted to play IG. Picked up a battleforce about a month ago and waited for the new codex before buying more stuff (and bought more stuff i did!). Anyways, google led me here and I love this blog. Feel like i've picked up a lot as a brand new IG player reading past articles. So, been a lurker for about a month, but definitely wanted to say congrats on the milestone and thanks for helping me out! :)
ReplyDeleteglad you found the blog and it was helpful. IG is a great army, its what I started in the hobby and never looked back. Get games in, learn from advice from other players(not just me) and you'll be doing fine. And don't worry new articles will come soon. Glad to help!
DeleteWell done sir! if i was wearing a hat I would take it off for you. It takes a lot of hard work to make a blog work and this is one of the if not the best for guard players my self inculcated. you are a true guardsman and I Salute you. I to dream of an army of grenadiers we are one step closer ;) PS. I bet when you found out just for that one second you weren't the Grumpy Guardsman. keep up the brilliant work solider and carry on.
