HOBBY: Airbrush- Fading Shoulder Pads 101

noreply@blogger.com (Man Boy Genius) — Tue, 22 May 2012 21:30:00 +0000

Today I have a closer look at one of the techniques I use to paint my Grey Knight's shoulder pads, using mostly an airbrush. Recently I've been posting up Work in Progress stages of Grey Knights Purifiers I'm currently airbrushing., on Facebook. I post there mostly because it's quick and easy to post on there cause I can just snap some pics with my phone and upload them while I work, er spray. (Wanna see more WIP GK's? Maybe its a good time to make sure you "like"...

Following the highly successful Dwarf King's hold, Mantic has set this new game in their futuristic Warpath universe.

Brent: Dust Warfare... the Battle Builder!

noreply@blogger.com (Brent) — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000

So will Dust Warfare be the game? The game so many of our brothers, sisters, and Unicorns out there want to rise out of the morass of new systems to finally challenge the mighty Games Workshop, struggling for a few years before toppling the Citadel Tower? Nope. But that's the wrong way to look at it - and besides, who'd want all that anyway? For crying out loud, why the GW hate of late? Sure, it's a transition period. Maybe 8th Edition Fantasy wasn't so balanced....

40K RUMORS: Challenges and More?

noreply@blogger.com (Bigred) — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:00:00 +0000

So look what showed up on the tubes this week... You know how challenges work in Fantasy don't you? First of all, the earlier set of 6th rumors from last week mentioned that challenges are coming our way for Warhammer 40,000 6th edition. Talk says this is the same type of "your IC challenges the opponent's IC" and shenanigans ensue like we see in Fantasy. So first off, hey, this one also is in line with the "stuff from Fantasy is coming to a 40k game near you" trend that...

Way of the Wilds: The Road to WAR Games Con

noreply@blogger.com (relasine) — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:00:00 +0000

Looking over the schedule for Warmachine/Hordes events at the fast-approaching WAR Games Con has my brain twitching about what Circle Orboros force to bring. There are several event types at the convention, each with different list requirements, and I am consequently dredging my ever-growing collection of lists trying to find what should go where. Let us peruse the schedule. Friday has a pair of events to choose from: a 15-point Blitzmachine Event, and a 50-point "Classic"...

Goatboy - Why I Play Tournaments?

noreply@blogger.com (Thomas aka Goatboy) — Mon, 21 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Goatboy here again - waiting on 6th and hoping some of the rumors are troll bait while others are little gems of sugary enjoyment. So with that in mind I didn't want another rehash, "review" or discussion of 6th edition. Instead I want to talk about why I go out of my way to fly around and play tournaments. Now depending on who you talk too - I might be known as one of those WAAC gamers. Those type of gamers that proudly display their mathematically sound lists and spout things like...

Hordes: Skorne Plastics Unboxing

May 23rd will see the release of a whole slew of Skorne goodness. While a lot of these, like the Battlegroup and Skorne heavy kit, are plastic resculpts, there are some brand new releases as well. The latter are the Cyclops Raider which I'll be showing here, and the Siege Animantarax which you've seen already. Lets start with the Battlegroup.

40k: 10 things you should know about every 40k codex

noreply@blogger.com (Mercer) — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Mercer from Imperius Dominatus here. In 40k knowing your enemy is half the battle. I'm here to help! There's a lot of people who don't know the most basics of other codexs (heck some people don't even know their own). Now I don't know every tiny teeny little rule in every codex, though knowing most the stuff, or even the main stuff in other codexs is helpful. Here's a guide for 10 things you should know in other codexs. Remember, knowledge is power ;). Note: I've missed...

40K: Enter the Dark Footdar!

Hey everyone, Reecius here from Frontline Gaming to discuss a list we've been play testing and having a lot of fun with: Dark Footdar! What, pray tell, is Dark Footdar? It is the term we've been using to describe an all foot Dark Eldar army. For those of you who have read any of my stuff, you probably know I love to play Footdar (all foot Eldar) and have had success with them in high-level competitive play, as have others. I have often thought about making a Dark Eldar version of...

40k Flashback- Before Finecast: Leadcast?!!

noreply@blogger.com (Man Boy Genius) — Sat, 19 May 2012 05:01:00 +0000

MBG here with another fun and exciting 40K Flashback, where I dig deep for something cool that I have from back in the day. Today's Flashback was provided by Meeker. You always hear the question: "How did you get into the hobby?", and for me it was getting bored with assembling fighter jet models. I could never afford the good jet kits either, lol. Plus those things had a ton of components, we're spoiled by Games Workshop when it comes to piece...

DYSTOPIAN WARS - Invisible Magnets

noreply@blogger.com (Inquisitor Romerous) — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:30:00 +0000

As we all know the Dystopian Wars models are amazing; both in detail and sheer imagination. So once you have painted your model how do you go about transporting it from one gaming den to another without ruining them? You could buy foam and cases to protect them but if your on a budget like me this isn't really a possibility. So armed with a cheap metal toolbox I found a way to keep your models from sliding around and getting chipped with something called ...INVISIBLE...
