Goatboy's 40k - Back to Some Tactic Thoughts

Goatboy here again asking the question - how do you build your armies? Do you look at just the sheer punching power or do you try and build a balanced force that can complete missions? I want to discuss the idea of creating balanced armies.

Goatboy 40k: Getting an Army Ready to Go

Goatboy here again - as you have seen in most of my articles I play a whole lot of different armies. I strive to try to understand just about anything that is 40k and the only way to do it beyond just reading the codex front to back is to actually get out there and throw down with some of the armies. Since I have come back to the hobby I have made it my mission to not field un painted minis so today I want to give some tips on getting your army done so you don't feel left out when you try to crush your opposition.

How to: Research Other Gamesystems

For the most part of my wargaming career, I've only played GW games.  I started 40K towards the end of 3rd Edition and Fantasy shortly after.  Through the years, I've played hundreds of games of both 40K and Fantasy and own multiple armies for each.  Though I've had great deals of fun with, after a while, things get a little stale.  The occassional break is good for the most part, but if you're an avid minis gamer like me, you wanna get yourself into something else really fast. But how?

Goatboy's - Armylist for the Week

To continue my counts-as army build I have caught the Iron Warriors design bug. I don't know if I will finish this off completely as the machine virus has just taken hold so will see. I did a test model below to check out. I think it is from doing the danger stripes on my Word Bearers. But enough of making the internet mad with my "Grammar Wolves" - onto some Iron Warriors.

Editorial: Fluff Bunnes Must Die?

a guest editorial by Kahoolin

As miniature wargamers, we're all familiar with the conflict between so-called "competitive" and "fluffy" players. The issue is especially big for 40k, for reasons we will see later, but can apply to any of the games we love. This bloody battle has been fought at the table, away from the table and online for many years now with no end in sight. Why is it that we can't seem to all just get along?
