Much Ado About Nothing

Been out of the loop due to thanksgiving.  Sorry, hosting thanksgiving is great, but busy and time consuming.  It all paid off though in that on the day of, everything went smoothly and food was good.  In 40k news there has been a "controversy" over some new bases.  This is pretty silly, and seems like people making an issue out of nothing.

Astra Militarum Tactics: Exploding Shield Wall

Had a fun little idea, not terribly competitive but something that would at least be interesting to try out.  It revolves around bullgryns and cyclops, though you could use demo special weapons teams as well.  Basically you use the bullgryns as a shield to advance up to the enemy and them the cyclops move out to detonate in your enemies lines.

Leviathan: Bit of a Disapointment

Leviathan is out and despite some tempered hope, turns out its all nid lovin.  This is a bit of a shame.  Not saying nids didn't deserve any love, but by god sisters could have used some as well, and some AM/MT love wouldn't have hurt.  This is too bad, as I feel the sanctus reach campaign did this better, giving all sides some attention but still moving on with the story and action.

Half a Mil & More Shield of Baal

Another milestone has been reached for the blog!  Glad that I have been able to still provide interesting articles to keep you coming back, despite the lull of the last few months.  With little time to actually play 40k its hard to get inspiration to write, so as I get back into it, expect more to follow.  Also some big leaks dropped for the first part of the Shield campaign and it isn't as great as I was hoping.

Astra Militarum Tactics: The Armored Repair Shop

So after some thinking on how you can really use some of the special forge world vehicles, namely the Atlas, as well as the Trojan, I have thought of an army idea that can be quite good and exceptionally durable.  I call this the Armored Repair Shop because it centers around leman russes and techpriests with Atlas and Torjan support for lots of repair and support abilities.   With their abilities you can repair a lot of damage to your leman russes and keep them in the fight far longer, also if you have no need to repair then techpriests can throw out PoTMS for giggles. 

Shield of Baal: Why I'm Excited

I am excited about this new campaign. Not because I like blood angels or nids, that pic above gets me excited. I know that is specifically a novel, but what it hints at for at least the first part of the campaign is something that gives me hope.
