  1. Custom Chapter/Craftworld/Regiment etc. Fluff Contest

    Since there are a lot of people here working on their own custom factions in the game, I thought I'd point out that Variance Hammer is running a custom faction fluff contest over the holiday season,...

    Ironically, this would likely be most powerful against other Eldar, with their fairly short ranged weapons. You could really mess up a Dire Avenger player's day.

    That is, in some ways, what the Hemlock is already. The "pilot" is as much a Spirit Seer keeping an eye on the spirits within the fighter as he is a pilot.

    It's also suggested that a number of...

    Me too. I've nicknamed my Space Wolves force "It's Not Lupus" as I try to get around all the little silly wolfy bits. Frustrating, as Thunderwolves are everything Terminators should be and aren't,...
  5. What do you look for in a narrative campaign?

    Posting this in a couple places because I'm curious.

    Basically, the question is what the subject line says: What makes a good 3-5 game narrative campaign for you? The kind you might play over a...

    One of the other factors is likely just the attitude of the people playing Horus Heresy. Between the cost, the difficulty of doing so, and the lack of an active tournament scene, there's much less...

    I wrote a post about exactly this, 'The CAD Will Not Save You': http://variancehammer.com/2015/06/02/the-cad-will-not-save-you/

    There's plenty of abuse to be had with just a CAD, and all this does...

    Meh. Mainly that "Team USA has a decent, but not spectacular showing" gets turned into all sorts of tea leaf reading regarding what it means, when it really doesn't mean anything at all. And yeah,...
  9. Responding to the BoLS ETC Results Coverage

    Just posted an analysis criticizing some of the coverage BoLS gave to the ETC results, especially re: Team USA's performance here:

    Poll: Dice: Symbols on the 6 or the 1?

    So after one particularly disastrous game, I've discovered that roughly half the dice I have with special symbols have the mark on the 6, and the other half on the 1. Which got me thinking - the 1...

    As much as I've always found a lot of the focus on Slaanesh to be puerile and stupid, and vastly ignoring huge swaths of potentially interesting narrative in favor of "hurr breasts...", this would...

    Codex: Imperial Knights

    Just put up a review of the Imperial Knights codex, with some simulation results looking at just how good the new weapon options are.

    Heck, I'd even be alright with them getting the Forge World treatment. If I must pay $90 for a troops choice, it should be a damned fine troops choice.

    Large Nine-part Eldar Codex Review

    Hey folks. I just finished with a pretty large nine-part review of the new Eldar codex. Why should you read another one of these? In part, because I tried to include some simulation results looking...
