A video you really should watch!

This is something everyone should really watch. Just a fantastic video of thinking off the wall.  These guys get it.  They really do.  I don't agree with EVERYTHING they say, but man, they know how to have fun in ways we sure don't.

I've love to hear everyone's thoughts when done!

Painting with Spooky part 1

Painting- Some people love it, others hate it while some tolerate it enough just play in tournaments or have a painted army when they play.

I would say that I belong in the first category. Painting to me is the best part of the hobby of table top miniature gaming. It is very relaxing to me and there is nothing better then seeing two fully painted armies on the table while playing.

Intro to Hordes

In part 2 of what looks to be a series on Warmachine/Hordes, I will be going over the more feral cousin of Warmachine... Hordes!

Hordes, in many ways, is identical to Warmachine. So much so in fact that the two games can be played together. So you can face-off your Trollbloods against Cryx, or your Skorne against Khador. The basic ruleset is the same. You roll 2D6 for pretty much every action, which can be boosted either through abilities or by forcing your warbeasts (more on this in a minute). The rules for casting spells, running, fighting, grappling... all of them are identical to the Warmachine system. Which makes it very easy to jump into the game.

Death Company!

Death Company. We all know these guys, and we all hopefully love them. How couldn't you love these crazed, angry, homicidal-suicidal maniacs! So why not do a review of the unit?

Where to begin? Special rules? Alright! So to begin these guys are Fearless, have FC, FNP, And Relentless. So in short they have all the benefits of a Sanguinary Priest without needing one, plus they are Fearless which just makes sense. Now when I first saw that they were relentless it kinda made no sense to me. Then I remembered that they can take a bolter instead of a bolt pistol. So rapid-fire to soften them up, then charge to finish them off! And you can still give them a power weapon or the like! Now me, I don't like losing that extra attack, but that's just me. I would only give a bolter to a dude with a power fist. He's not getting that extra attack anyway.

Intro to Warmachine

I was asked to write an article on Warmachine, so here it goes:

For those of you who have never played Warmachine before, let me explain it to you as simply as possible. Imagine for a second Warhammer Fantasy, except that all of the rules for all of the armies were made at the same time and balanced against each other. Now play that game with a dash of 3rd ed. Dungeons and Dragons.

Where did you go cover saves that aren't 4+?

We all do it. It makes set up easier, takes away discussion (read: arguments) during games and simplifies everything. Each and every piece of terrain will be a 4+ cover save.

A wall? 4+

A building? 4+

Hiding behind troops? 4+

Rubble? 4+

Incoming: Doompickles Deathwing

Howdy everyone! I just thought I would say hello, been busy lately with work. A little about me, I recently got into the hobby about 2 years ago and was hooked! Haha so much so that even neck surgery couldn’t keep me away from my weekly gaming group! I thought I would share with you all some pictures of my Dark Angels - Deathwing army. They are my first & favourite army.

I decided to create them mainly due to the fact that the fluff is so great and who could say no to an army full of terminators? Doesn’t take up alot of space, easy to take places and is house trained :D
