Chaos Legions Continuous RumorsIt seems like the rumors coming for the future Chaos Legions book are just coming and coming. Perhaps this is because it is what people want, but it baffles me that we are not hearing more Tau and Black Templar (assuming they really are coming early next year). Either way, I still love hearing new …

6th Edition Codex's Are Hardback: Some More Chaos Legions Rumors.Going to a hardback codex something like what Fantasy did is highly expected in my book. I think the fantasy army books are extremly nice looking and a step or two above in quality what we currently have for 40k. My 40k codexes get pretty beat up fast, and the ink inside each ones tends to smear as…
The Red Guy: The Future of Chaos Legions, Renegades, and DaemonsRumors about the three Chaos Codexes coming soon. The first of which we should see next year, Chaos Legions.

Sanquinius and Daemon Clash: Black Library ArtworkNeil Roberts does it again. This piece shows Sanguinius falling with a greater daemon sword in hand.

Necrons in Review: Unique OpportunitiesEvery codex has something unique to it, at least most do.

Allied Forces Returning to 40kJust as quickly as something is taken away, here comes rumors of its return. To be honest, I think this would be a very solid idea on the part of Games Workshop. Allied forces have been around since time began in this hobby, and removing it was a rather sudden shift in the game. Besides what a bet…

Sisters of Battle to Receive Some Plastic/ 6th Edition Coming Q1Sisters of Battle already received the short end of the stick this year with a White Dwarf codex. While we did not expect much out of a WD codex, there was also nothing really else to write home about. No models no nothing. A lot of people were pretty sad. This rumor takes that on, declaring there…
How to: Imperial Guard Heavy Support on a budgetI recieved an email last night, and even though I answered it, (as I always try to answer emails) it needs pictures. So I thought that deep in the middle of Necron mania I would show something IG style. This is not necessarily completely on a budget, after all you will still need to purchase 9 bas…
Presence of Faeit: Necrons are Here, 6th Edition Tactics, and a Dark Eldar Battle ReportThis week, Necrons have returned to the tabletop near you with a vengeance. I have read through quite a bit of the codex, and their guns and units look amazing. I am really hoping that someone is ready to play them this week in my gaming circles. I want to play against them, with a list they are de…
The Words of Faeit: Crossing the Void (Dark Eldar)Crossing the Void refers to getting your assault infantry across the board, often times through wide open space in the center of board. This is often where many armies lose their forward thrust against an opponent, and tend to get annihilated. While many armies use very tough to destroy armoured tr…
