If, like Farmpunk, you have a couple of girls instead of boys, you might not have fully appreciated the Thomas lyrics in the last post. So here's something you can relate to.

They're Blue, They're Red, They're Wintergreen...
by SandWyrm
If like me, you have 3 young boys at home, then you probably spend way too much of your life watching Thomas the Tank Engine. You probably also get the Thomas theme song stuck in your head while trying to play 40K or paint.
Well, here's some alternate 40K lyrics that I've composed just for you:

Tournament report, Feb 5th, G2D4
by TheGraveMind
So the morning of the fifth, I wake up, shower and get ready to pick up a few of the locals on the way up to G2D4. Behold the snow, on top of the good amount of ice that is still clinging to spots. I pick up Strung muppet and Nemisis first as they are close. We call the fourth person and find out his car went off the road near his house. We drive and find him, and try to get it out, but he somehow found the one hole in all that ice and was stuck good. An officer drives by and says they'll have to tow it and probably impound it. Nothing more Nick can do, so he locks it up and we drive up to G2D4 at 10mph cause 74W and 65N are a mess with crashes every 100 feet. We get there a few minutes late (we had called ahead and they were understanding). Nick had been on the phone the entire way up trying to straighten up the car towing situation. But now it is game time!

New Orks And Goblins, Blah, Blah... HEY!
by SandWyrm
Who wants to bet that GW will sell more of these to Tyranid players than they will to Ork and Goblin players? I see a nice Tervigon or Tyrannofex being made out of this baby. :)

The Green Marine Conundrum
by SandWyrm
In preparation for last weekend's tourney over at Games to Die For, I decided that I would put most of my effort into finally finishing my display board for the Tallarn 13th. With the hope of pushing past the competition for the first-place painting prize.

Thinking outside of T6; Heavy Support
By TheGraveMind
Tyranid heavy support, the home of the T6. You have trygons and mawlocs, carnifex, tyranofex, and the little biovore. Trygons and Tyrannofexes are the most common of the culprits taken for this FOC slot. But lets take a look at the other possibilities.
First, lets have a moment of silence for the "Godfex". Never again shall such an amazing monstrosity of upgraded biomass walk across the battle field. Compare a venom cannon, crushing claw and regenerating Godfex with the bells and whistles. The 5th edition Fex clocks in at 270 points, while the 4th edition was sitting around 250. Granted the newer one has two more attacks, but what did we lose? Oh nothing important, just T7 W5 2+ for less points. A base 85 point carnifex (and 75 point Hive tyrant) would make people run screaming in this day and age. Oh how the young forget. But we cannot change the past, lets look toward the future....
