The gaunts go marching!

by: TheGraveMind

With my ever vigilant eye for the possible velociraptor threat (always good to be aware), I started thinking about my hormagaunts. Not only are they very raptor like, but I've lovingly nicknamed them the raptor brood. But today, I'm keeping away of any raptor. So I decided to work on my Anti-Raptor Fighting Force, ARFF. My termagants.

Adding to the Family

by: farmpunk

We've decided to add to our little enclave here at the back40k. Some of you may already have seen the first post by our new additions to the crew.

We're happy to be now including Wienas and TheGraveMind to our rag-tag band of writers.

As Some of you know, TheGraveMind comes from his blog, over at Predators and Prey in 40K.

Wienas comes from his own blogging experience at Indy 40K.

Army goals; Surviving and killing. Part 1

by TheGraveMind

This is my first post here, so I figured I'd try and make it a good one. My goal is for a (five?) part series. This is spurred by this tourney’s results. This is a big deal in my world because it is the first time the new nids have done well in a tournament.

Battle Report: First Game Against New Blood Angels

by Wienas

 

 

Tuesday I got in a game at the GP South store with a player trying out his new BA list, we'll call him Mr. Baracus.  I was excited to test out my Black Templars against the new hotness, but also rather nervous.  The older my codex gets, the harder time I have dealing with the new nasties that pop up in the newer books. 

How Sharp Is Your Razorback?

by SandWyrm

In my continuing attempts to come up with a Blood Angels list from the new codex that can compete with my own Mech IG army, I've sort of settled on a MSU (Multiple Small Units) approach that can maybe hope to get across the field alive and stick assault troops in the IG's face. Part of that, though, is working out my transport and anti-tank options.

You sir, made me laugh.

I read this post over on Sons of Taurus, and laughed and laughed. to get the full picture, you might need to read this over at Bell of Lost Souls.

why is it painting competition puts competitiveness in a whole new, absurd light.

I Think I Finally Have Some Local Painting Competition

by SandWyrm

So I went down to the FLGS for the first time in almost a month tonight (stupid work...), and what should I find, but the best looking Ork army I've ever seen.

The lists are in!

by: farmpunk

The lists are in for the Warpstone Flux April 2010 LineBreaker armylist challenge!

go over and take a look! Vote!

SandWyrm and I are defending our winning streak. We've won all 3 so far this year, and are hoping to make it 4.

SandWyrm wrote up a nasty Tau list to kill 3 Baneblades, and I went with Blood Angels dropping from the skies to kill the 3 Baneblades.

Info for the May 1rst Tourney

by SandWyrm

I went down to Games 2D4 last night to get the info for the May 1rst 40K Club Tourney. Here's some pics of the only copy they had available. At that time they had 10 players signed up out of a possible 20.

Sanguinary Guard WIP

by: Wienas

After much coercion, I got my FLGS to let me paint up some of their new Sanguinary Guard models.  I think someone at the store had already cherry-picked the sprue, because I was only able to build these 3 models.  The models look really cool, and are not as difficult to build as I have heard others say.

The model on the right will be carrying the Chapter Banner.
