Veterans...

In honor of those that have served in the military, I present my Sternguard Veterans.  Your sacrifice means I have the freedom to spout insanity here on my little corner of the interwebs.  If you like all this cool freedom and stuff, go thank a veteran today.

Necrons and more



I don't put my face online, but this is a happy General,

So yes, the rumors are true...I'm still alive.  I haven't been too active I know, but as a reward to the...4 or 5 people that actually read my rants I have a treat.  It's a double-article.  This weekend saw 2 big things happen.  First, the Necrons are playable again and second I got my first Finecrap so I can tell you, noble reader (singular) just how shit it is first-hand.

A new level of Fail

Well Games Day was this weekend and in true GW fashion, they revealed...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  Really GW?  Well I guess they're saving the big reveal of the next codex for UK Games Day and giving every other continent the shaft like every year.  Wait...(holds finger to earpiece that doesn't actually exist)Yes, I'm just being notified that this WAS Games Day UK.  Really GW?  REALLY??

Armies 101 Part 4: Eldar

Yes, I'm alive for anyone who noticed my absence.  We just got over a heat wave here in Nj and I learned that when it's too hot to sit on my leather computer chair...or think rationally...blog posts don't seem to happen.  But we're back in the 80's and I got home early from work today so here we go with the next installment of my totally arbitrary analysis/advice to new gamers...the Eldar

Armies 101 part 3: Demons

The run-down continues, though slightly delayed.  After a weekend trip to war at Gettysburg and a new tactic to find a full-time job, the last 2 weeks just disappeared.  Still here we are and the army examinations continue.  We continue with the newest army to hit the shelves, the Demons of Chaos. 

Armies 101: Part 2, Dark Eldar

We continue our (well "my" since this isn't a discussion, but my own little virtual soap box) analysis of the armies of 40K.  Today we look at the twisted children of Commorogh, the Dark Eldar.

Armies 101: A Beginner's Guide Part 1

So here we are. You've been considering getting into this Warhammer 40,000 thing all the kids are talking about. What do you do first? Well, perhaps the most important decision a new player has to make is what army do I like? Some players come in either knowing the fluff or liking a certain army. Others have no idea and this is who I'm talking to. We're going to look at what you want to put into the hobby and what you want to get out of it to determine what army you may like to try first...yes I said first because if you are like many of us, one army will become two or three...or one of each. First I'll explain my ratings and then we'll breakdown the armies in terms of hobby, gaming and modeling values. With some luck, you'll have a decent idea of where to go from there.

In this modern time, lets be honest...this hobby is expensive. There are degrees to this and tricks to help make it cheaper, but it isn't like buying a 99 cent deck of playing cards and dealing a poker game. For that reason, I will be taking starting costs in. I am not including the codex since they are all around the same price, but will instead look at availability and affordability of the models needed to get you a good 1500 points.
