And my paint hands are tired. Just wanted to showcase a model I finished for a client up in Canada.

40k Editorial: Dark Eldar - AV 10 sucks

Will the release of Dark Eldar change the current meta-game of 40k?

I don’t think so.  I am happy that the loyal Dark Eldar players are finally getting a new codex.  With that said – it still seems like it will suffer from what the current codex has as a glaring blemish, AV 10.

40k- Dred Mob 1850 Orky Mayhem Army List

MBG back again with my playtesting quest for a new competitive Ork army.  Right now I am still on the fence about what I'll be running at Mechanicon this year. So I tried out a Dred Mob army list today out against my Mech Imperial Guard, and it did quite well, which could mean good things for the list in the current 40k "Mech" Meta.

Goatboy 40k - Is Poison the new Black?

Goatboy here again - there is an interesting thing I have noticed. Lately in the new codices there seems to be a push towards poison making a huge come back. I know the Tyranids brought it pretty strong in the last codex but I think the upcoming Dark Eldar are looking to truly push it to the for front. So the question in my mind is why are GW pushing it so heavily?

Wargaming ASKEW: Memory Lane

Having recently watched the MTV music awards I wondered why Cher was invited? Did she think she could (insert terrible joke) turn back time. Why does Usher's music all of sudden sound like 90s Euro trash disco? Is his producer DJ Bobo? Mind you, the last time I watched the video awards was when Busta Rhymes and Martha Stewert were presenters in 1997. Besides thinking about being too old for the VMAs. Busta got me thinking about something completely different.
