First up, I very much enjoyed the article. That sort of real discussion on how to problem solve game situations complex enough to bother considering is what strategy articles should be.

That...

duuuude... that's like 450 points of techmarine... don't do it...

Just think, you're getting 4x 2+/3++ wounds and 8 TH attacks on the charge, when you could buy a maxxed terminator assault squad...

All tables should be like this. The game surface may only be 6' long, but the last 2' are incredibly convenient when you need a spot to put your dice/templates/rulebooks/drinks/out-of-play models.

So, we've all realized by now that peoples' estimates of 25% surface area tend to vary wildly. So out of boredom, I made a to-scale image of a 4'x6' surface which is broken up into coloured tiles,...

As per Abaddon's fluff in the 2e codex, Horus' body was taken to the Eye by the Sons of Horus, but Sons' command structure broke down quickly, and the fortress housing the stasis-vault was lost to...

Word Bearers: Acolyte of the 109th Host reporting

Started Beastmen in september. Fun to play and paint (even if they're no top dog), fluff feels a little thin in places though. Maybe I'm just spoiled with my Word Bearers.

I dunno, ask the Iraqis. Apparently there's still some out of date militias using aircraft carriers and cruise missiles, and it turns out that while various insurgencies may be hard to engage with...

Rules are on p27: Lone Models And Movement.

Coles Notes: units of a single model (including monsters, chariots, etc) may pivot around their center any number of times during the Remaining Moves...

I always assumed the "disclaimer: unofficial" part in the FAQ to be a polite way of saying "This is about minimizing the obnoxious parts of the game, anyone caught trying to rules lawyer the FAQ can...

Yes to the psychic powers bit... Chaos Marines have been making absolutely sure you can't cast Warptime before arriving from reserve since people realized it is a combo with MoT and Wind. Can't be...

Hell, Space Marine Scout Bikers can deploy backfield with infiltrate and scout-boost 24" from THERE, then proceed to move 12" and assault 6". Considering the sergeant can take melta bombs and that...

When Dark Eldar came out, an allowance of 100 points from the Chaos armoury was tantamount to cheating and close combat attacks didn't use weapon properties unless the attacker was in base to base at...

Something that might get irritating for Dark Eldar players is empty razorbacks. 40 points for a mobile terrain piece with twin linked heavy bolter probably pays off against them. A 55 point BA...

For those who dislike the Possessed... I hated them when I'd only seen them in pictures from GW, not counting glances from across the room. But one day I was checking out what I had left in a kit I...

In 2e, the legality of special character was opt-in. Your opponent/TO had to agree they were OK before the game. Every SC also had a minimum points size for armies that wanted to field them. You...

Oh, I'm not claiming that the 999 dreadnoughts plan is genuinely problematic, any more than I meant to imply that troop transports are. I was just observing that adjustment periods involve annoyance.

I thought the whole tradition established itself after the release of 5th, when people were still getting used to facing armour saturation... I heard "rhino spam" for a fair bit before I started...

Just incidentally, I'm pretty sure they're the cheapest way to field a storm bolter squad by a good margin.

You also gloss over the part where countercharge + wolf banner makes a normal grey...

this fellow sort of leaps to mind.

There's also the LotR models... some of the giant elephant rider types (such as this one and this other one) may offer possibilities.

There's also always the...

Doomrider gets filed under "lol wut." No fluff, no explaination, just a clown on a flying motorcycle who appears and vanishes at random. It's like, what, where shouldn't there be a clown on a...

You know you're 5 points over, right?

Personally, if I could find the 5 points more, I'd probably prefer a stock Daemon Prince to a Lord with a power weapon. Much more dangerous, tougher, and...

This thread reminds me of those news stories about marketing companies that pay folks to infiltrate forum communities and then recommend their products. The OP reads like a radio advert, and the...

I know you'd said you'd finalized, but the Daemon squad looks just a little on the small side and the predator just looks... a bit sad with its one gun. If you were willing to drop a single...
