Jul 30, 2011 5 Comments by

I was talking casually with some other BWGamers and they brought up “green tide” Ork amies. I’ve played against a lot of Ork’s, mostly fielded by GrantimusPrime, but have never seen or faced a true tide army. Just how many Orks is it? Well, wow. A green tide Ork army can get 180 Boyz on [...]

Gritting their teeth against 102 degree temperatures, the battle generals could not be deterred. En masse, they came to Dream Wizards of Bethesda, and the tumbling dice’s roar could be heard for miles. The Emperor’s finest battled against, well, a lot of their own. Xenos were fairly poorly represented, with Orks most common. On the [...]

40K SOOP – So Outrageously Over-Powered

Jul 21, 2011 4 Comments

Starting this week, I will begin a series about some of the more “OP” units and gear in the 40K universe. I will be subjective. I will be rude. If you spam these units or weapons, I will call you a cheese fountain. Know this, however: I understand the WAAC (Win At All Costs) mentality, [...]

On the Tiers of 40k

Jul 19, 2011 3 Comments

Don’t let the Fluff Bunnies or the Baby Seals fool you, there are Tiers in Warhammer 40k. It flows naturally that some armies are more competitive than other armies, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to better or more powerful. All armies, in one way or another, can build a really tough list that is Championship [...]

Jul 15, 2011 2 Comments

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this upcoming Dream Wizards 1500 point tournament. One of my biggest, sleep-depriving dilemmas was whether to bring Wolf Scouts or a multi-melta dreadnought. On the surface, the decision seems obvious. However, I want to dig a little deeper. First, let’s get an idea of what we’re bringing [...]

Jul 15, 2011 1 Comment

GW has just released the official rules packet for ‘Ard Boyz 2011. This PDF lists the available codices, which include the Witch Hunters and, surprisingly, references specifically the Witch Hunters FAQ.
