Kickstarters: Victims of Success?

noreply@blogger.com (DrLove42) — Sat, 18 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Kickstarter Fatigue. Who's feeling it? I'm here today to talk to something that's been on my mind for a while. Kickstarters for games, be they table top, board, card or video are common place now. Everyone's seen one, and have likely backed one themselves (the only one I've ever backed, I got my rewards delivered last week. Happy man here). But my question is this - Is anyone else suffering from Kickstarter Fatigue? Its easy to see the appeal of using a Kickstarter. You get...

40k: The Top 5 HQs in 40k

noreply@blogger.com (Mark Mercer) — Fri, 17 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I got an e-mail on Imperius Dominatus asking what I think are the best HQ choices in 40k. So who do I think is the ultimate king of the tabletop? Well that's a tough question to answer - but that never stopped me before. I'll throw my own 5 choices into the ring, though your choices may differ! So in no particular order: Dark Eldar - Baron Sathonyx The Baron is perhaps one of the coolest HQs in my opinion; he has a reasonable profile which is of typical D.E nature i.e low strength, high...

40K: Aspect Warriors - What's Gone Wrong

noreply@blogger.com (Larry Vela) — Thu, 16 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

The Eldar Aspect Warriors are the feared leading edge of the Craftworld at war. But boy do the Aspect Temples need some help. Lets take a general look at the aspects as they stand now, and what we hope to see in the new codex: General Traits For the most part, all the Aspects share the basic BS4/WS4 S3 T3 I5 Ld9 statline. You get differences in armor and equipment, but we are talking about highly skilled, fast, reliable (high leadership) units here. Guardsmen they are...

Warmachine: Khador Greylord Outriders

noreply@blogger.com (Larry Vela) — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:00:00 +0000

Khador is in serious need of a good non-character shooting unit. Do the new Greylord Outriders fit the bill? As a light cavalry unit, the most impressive thing about the Outriders is their speed. After point cost, threat range is probably the most important stat in the game, and these guys deliver in spades. 3" more movement than their unmounted brethren the Ternion may not sound like much, but a picture is worth a thousand words - the yellow circle below is the total...

Dark Eldar: The Ultimate Spoiler Army?

noreply@blogger.com (Reece Robbins) — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:00:00 +0000

The dirty dogs of the 40K universe often play king maker at tournaments. Dark Eldar are one of those armies that do just about everything differently. I love the army and the models are some of the best in GW's entire range, IMO. Jes Goodwin really hit it out of the park with these. Phil Kelly also wrote a great rule set with only a few real stinkers (Keradruakh, lookin right at you, bud!). But for the most part, everything in the book is fair to great. What makes Dark Eldar so...

40K Deep Thought - On Dark Reapers (and a teensy rumor)

noreply@blogger.com (Larry Vela) — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:00:00 +0000

If there is one Aspect Temple that needs a reboot, its Dark Reapers. Lets take a stroll through their past, and possible future. First the basics. The Dark Reaper aspect represent the Eldar God of War Khaine in his aspect of Destroyer. They wear dark, heavy armor, characteristic large boots (providing extra stability for their heavy weapons), and destroy the enemy at range. But the Dark Reapers have quite a twisting history of equipment and power over the editions....

40K TACTICS: Tau HQs Named Characters

Hey guys, I am Learn2Eel I'm here to talk in detail about our new Codex: Tau Empire. Lets hit it! HQs - Special CharactersThe Tau HQ units are varied and often dissimilar, with each fulfilling very unique roles in an army list; remembering the specific traits of each is imperative to successfully employing them in an effective manner, as comparing their straight up combat abilities given that many provide important support abilities is silly. I feel that all of them have a...

Retribution of Scyrah: Battlebox Intro and Tactics

Privateer Press updated their Retribution of Scryah collection with the inclusion of a spanking new battlebox. Let's take a look. While Privateer has had an “official” Retribution battlebox roster that was published shortly after the factions release, you had to purchase the models individually. This new box puts them all in one spot at a reduced price of their individual pieces and in plastic to boot, keeping with Privateers increasingly larger plastic miniatures in their product...
