The Tyranid Conundrum

By Anonymous Foodie

With a flash of rumors hitting the scene, it's time to start thinking about my first love - the Tyranids, and one of the things that has plagued them throughout the editions.

Number Crunching in: "My troops are better than yours"

by Anonymous Foodie

Foodie here, and despite working 50-60 hour work weeks *and* trying to coordinate a job/apartment search across state lines, I'm bringing you a little number-work and (hopefully) some food for thought.

A callout to Chicago-land gaming

by Anonymous Foodie

So here's the deal, kids.  Since last Summer (which, unfortunately, failed miserably) I've been looking at moving up to Chicago.  This time around things are looking far more feasible (see what more than a month of planning can do for you?).  All I need now is affordable rent and a job that pays halfway decent.... oy...

Dare we open it...?

by Anonymous Foodie

My Dark Eldar army has gone through three editions now, and (huzzah!) a single codex change.  Every army changes with either of these things... weapon load-outs become more or less optimal, transport options come into the light or under fire... even something as simple as squad size may come into question.

Looking through my warriors today (I had a few touch-ups to do on pewter figs) I got to wondering; after so many incarnations (and it's really less than most armies deal with), so many changes of "what is my basic troop"... if I pulled out all of my warriors and broke them into squads, utilizing as many as possible while retaining useful choices, what would I be looking at?

And the verdict is...

If anyone missed it, GW dropped their rulebook FAQ over the weekend.  So what's it entail?

Destroy This List - 2k Tyranids

So here's the deal - I post my 2000 point, all-comer's Nid list, and you tell me how/why it fails at life. 

6th Edition and Double Force Orgs

by Anonymous Foodie

There have been a lot of things floating around about 6th... a few rules "quandaries" that seem extremely one-sided to me (of course, I'm a bit biased when it comes to my own opinions), and other shenanigans.  However, there is one thing that people are mussed about that I can do naught but stare and cock my head to the side...

Foodie got an E-mail!

by Anonymous Foodie

I got an E-mail with a couple of good questions about Nids and their viability in 6th, so I wanted to share.  Fair warning, it's gonna be a bit of a read...

One of my earliest "all painted" shots - a paltry scouting force in comparison to the full swarm

Tonight I finally broke out the Tyranids for their first bout of 6th edition.  The first meal?  Necrons.

Something Wicked This Way Comes - Allies

Ferris Wheel... of Doom!!!

Welcome one and all to the Something Wicked segment, recently instituted by yours truly to show off all of my new pretties!!  Or at least the ones you haven't seen yet.

Are power weapons really that confusing?

My head-bone hurts

Now that the nerdrage from fortifications and allies has died down, we have a new contender for the ZOMG!!1one award - Power Weapons.

6th Ed Lovin' - Dark Eldar Edition

by Anonymous Foodie

Everyone needs a hobby outside of work, amirite??

After a breeze or two through the rulebook, it's time to take a look at how our armies are being effected.  Since the True Kin are the heralds of time immemorial and the rightful owners of all things to come, I thought I'd go first.

Something *else* that needs to be said

by Anonymous Foodie

There's been so much hubbub about allies, fortifications, and 6th in general that I wanted to chime in somewhere that wasn't a cluttered reply board, cause it makes me feel all fancy inside.

What I really want for 6th edition...

by Anonymous Foodie

So if you haven't noticed yet, there's been a fair amount of netspeak about the pending 6th edition.  With most everyone on about what they want (or don't, for that matter) out of the new rules set, I figured I'd throw my two bits in.  So what do I really want to see?

6th Edition Tyranids

by Anonymous Foodie

So the "leak" of 6th is out.  Real or fake, we can't say just yet... but that doesn't stop us from thinking about it.
