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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
Cross posted from www.discountbarber.com On Saturday I played in the final tournament of the Iron Fist League (IFL) Road to the NOVA Invitational with my Imperial Guard. You’ll find my list here. For those of you not in the know, the IFL is one of the major organized gaming groups active in the greater Washington, DC [...]
Behold: Master Ascetic Naaresh! Privateer Press has just released information about a new model, who I believe to be a Nihilator type Warlock. The description on the Privateer Press website says he has the pain givers do their work on him prior to battle. Apparently he gets his martial prowess from some crazy S&M type stuff. [...]
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 [...]
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. I guess that means no White Dwarf SoB update, just the O-G codex. I guess the length of time it will be available is [...]
It seems like one of my favorite units is finally getting some love in the rumor mill. A new model? Yes please. Although then my beautiful conversions (read: kidding) might get scraped! See BoLS latest rumors post!
