I Hear His Bark Is Worse Than His Bite...

Ok, so it's obviously just a WHFB version of the 40K Eldar Avatar. But on the other hand it's probably the coolest looking Avatar model that GW has ever put out. Especially if you were to model up an Exodite force around it.

The First Transport is Away!

...and it should be getting here on the 30th

Half the fun of writing an article on X-Wing is picking the best Star Wars quote for a title.

Fantasy Flight likes to do this cool thing where they let you know the rules for stuff before you buy it.  So if you want to check out the rules for the huge ships and epic level tournaments go here.  If you want to know the highlights and what these rules may mean for the game keep reading...

Had To Check The Math Twice, But... Wow.

Saw this fail on BoLS today, but L' Astropate had a much better picture of it. What I find particularly amusing is that all of the tools, bought separately, cost less than the GW "Limited Edition" tool set.

GW: Is It All About The Anticipation?

I really was done talking about GW and their games.  At least for a while.  But as a professional software developer, I couldn’t let their new website go by un-critiqued.  Especially when it is so…awful.  I mean really.  The surest way for a site or an app to fail is to produce one not knowing what the user wants and needs.  So this is just another example of how GW has no clue what their customer want or need.

First off the home page:

So far so good

Table Top Day!

I love table top boardgames. Something everyone can sit down and do on a rainy day, or cold day, or... any day. It just so happens that tomorrow, April 5th, is Table Top day.
