Dark Eldar Modeling – Part 2 - Air superiority

 by Philip Henderson

Philip here following up on Part 1 of my ongoing Dark Eldar conversions.  With the new Dark Eldar codex there are lots of new unit options, but for me the most noticeable are the new flyers that can move faster than anything else out there (excluding apocalypse) and unload a tonne of firepower at speed with their one shot missiles.

WFB: 8th Edition's Top 5 Rank and File Units

a column by WileyOne

Hello again my fellow BoLSiacs. Here are what we have found to be the top 5 rank and file units in the game. I am basing this off of static in game things like the Inspiring Presence rule, or the Hold Your Ground rule. I am also considering point costs and optimal sizes.

The Renaissance was an exciting period of change for the entire world. Art, philosophy, and science all took great leaps throughout this period. Even the art of war saw major changes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!!

From everyone here at BoLS:

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2010 has been a crazy year, and we've had a wonderful time bringing you every one of you the wargaming coverage you've come to expect from BoLS.  2010 started off with the Tyranids, and Warmachine Prime MkII.  It brought us Blood Angels, Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition, Hordes Primal MkII, and the entire range of updated Warmachine/Hordes Faction books.  WargamesCon continued and we capped off the year with Flames of War-Early War, and the return after 12 years of the dreaded Dark Eldar. Brent, Spacecurves, TPM-BloodAngel, Mr.Black and too many other gaming fanatics and tournament ringers came onboard.  As the encroaching Orcs & Goblin and Grey Knight books as well as Warmachine-Wrath approaches 2011 is only looking better.


~Open new years thread guys, jump in!  How's your New Year celebrations going, and what are you planning for your wargaming 2011?
