The Chaos Daemons Codex released by Games Workshop in March for Warhammer 40K is a tough one for me. I don’t play Daemons, nor do I feel much tempted to start now. I don’t play much against (!) Daemons either. They don’t seem to crop up in my corner of the UK (which is actually [...]
You are probably asking yourself why, of all things in the Tau Codex, I would want to chat about Piranhas? They’ve got no new model. They aren’t exactly a hot choice for most Tau player. They are fragile and – at least on first glance – not terribly impressive. The main reason I want to [...]
Playing at Mantic’s Open Day DreadBall tournament this weekend reminded me once again of what a fantastic game DreadBall really is. DreadBall is fun, fast, furious and (almost) always exciting up to the very last turn (or “Rush“, as DreadBall calls them). If you haven’t yet, you should definitely give DreadBall a shot. It’s an [...]
More Eldar rumours floating about the Warhammer 40K blog-o-sphere. If a recent Reddit-post by a (self-proclaimed) GW-employer is correct, the new 6th Edition Eldar should go up for pre-order on Saturday the 25th, less than two weeks from now. Another, more curious rumour has been floated by Bell of Lost Souls. Curious, because it gives [...]
Signature Systems are the Tau equivalent to Dark Angels Chapter Relics and Chaos Space Marines Artifacts, unique one-per-army items that grant an HQ (mainly) cool, unique abilities. The 6th Edition Tau Codex lists a record eight unique Signature Systems. Therefore I discuss them in two parts. If you haven’t seen it, here is the first part of my [...]
Signature Systems are the Tau equivalent to Dark Angels Chapter Relics and Chaos Space Marines Artifacts, unique one-per-army items that grant an HQ (mainly) cool, unique abilities. As with the two 6th Edition Codexes noted above (the Chaos Daemon Codex played it slightly differently), there are Signature Systems tied to a particular Special Character: Commander Shadowsun’s custom [...]
I am still in the middle of digesting the new Tau Empire Codex. Despite this, Games Workshop’s recent breakneck speed seems to continue unabated, with Craftworld Eldar apparently up next. Though I have no way to back-up or verify the rumours floating about, I thought I’d share these flowery whispers about the upcoming Eldar Codex, simply [...]
Tau XV88 Suits – Broadsides – are one of the Tau Empire units that got both an awesome new plastic kit and a bunch of interesting new options with the new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex. As I am tinkering around with the new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K, I drafted a first Tau army list [...]
Can a 1500 pts. Tau Empire army list bring two XV104 Riptides? I’ve been asking myself this question ever since I did my write-up on the new Tau Riptide. It is an awesome miniature with lots of options, asking you to choose between a the more aggressive Heavy Burst Cannon Riptide, and the more back-field [...]
One of the biggest, most talked-about releases for Warhammer 40K last year was Forge World’s first Horus Heresy book. One feature that got a lot of attention was the inclusion of game-stats for Space Marine Primarchs. Of course, there was also the fantastic miniature for Angron! Forge World’s Horus Heresy 1: Betrayal includes stats for [...]
