40k Batrep! Dark Eldar VS Chaos

James' Dark Eldar and Jashin's Forces of Chaos went head to head in battle. Here is what happened:

League! Extended!

That's right!!! The league is being extended further than its normal deadline. Last day for league games will be the 16th of December. Get gaming people!!

Rules, rules rules... goddamnit!!

Games Workshop sucks balls. Their lack of FAQ's and vague interpretations are absolutely and utterly annoying. I tried to make a post earlier on concerning house rules but after further debate it seems that they definately do not work. Hence I propose the following:

The End is Nigh!!

No not of the DWGC, we will never die! But this year's league is reaching its end.

Tyranids VS chaos Daemons.... What else can be said? Its brutal!

Interview with a Noob: Shane's Tyranids Army

We had an interview with one of our newest members, Shane, and asked him some questions about his new army, Tyranids. Hit the jump to see the details

So with the release of the War Zone Damocles: Mont'Ka book the Astra Militarum/ Imperial Guard have received new rules in the form of the Cadians. Some interesting formations and Detachments, i'm thinking that maybe this is what they need to get back into the game! (here's a link to the leaked stuff)

So who will be breaking out their old Guard? Can we see a return of the Leafblower on the horizon? Does anyone have any good tactical ideas they would like to share??

I for one cannot wait to see the teeming ranks of the Militarum on the battlefield, whether i lose against them or not. So come on! Bring out your Dead!

The latest version of the Imperial Armour: Doom of Mymeara is up for pre-order on Forge World and it looks damn brutal!

Andrea has developed a huge Daemon army since he started playing Warhammer. Here are some pictures of the vast hordes at his command.

Soooo....

Games workshop has made a wonderful ruleset that basically throws its own rules into the grinder. which really doesn't help anything. At all.

Brandon and Daniel had a game of 1500pts last thursday. Here are the details:

40k Batrep! Chaos Space Marines vs Eldar

Bradley and Jashin had a game of 1850 points on Thursday night. Here's the details of it:

AoS - 40K Style!

Saw the above up on SpikeyBits. Seems like a pretty good idea!

Go to the link to get more info! I dont wanna copy paste!!

Thursday Recall

Norman!!! He's Real!!

The above image is proof that the man actually exists. Nice shirt too. There were many cries of amazement at seeing him finally, although in some cases it was more of a shrug (see exhibit b, Kevin, lower left hand corner)

So we has some fun last night, spending too much money as usual and throwing dice around! Battle reports will follow soon so keep your eyes peeled. Unfortunately I forgot to take some pictures of the battle between Andrea and i, but we'll make up for it later.

Don't forget the Horus Heresy Event tomorrow! Sooooo keen on opening that box!!!

BTW: the Unseen Shoppe has some of the white dwarves with the free pins available! they're running out!!
