How in the H#@L do Ruins work in 40K?

by Spaguatyrine

So as the February Tournament Season is coming and I am getting ready to knock some heads and hopefully represent this blog and Space Wolf players well, I cannot help but ask this question....How in the H-E-#-L does this rule get so......

Should GW Open-Source 40K?

by SandWyrm

Sorry for the light week of posting, but the family and I have been sick with Sinus Infections. I did, however, have a question today that I wanted to throw out to theBack40K community.

Should GW open-source the 40K ruleset and/or background?

Color Question: Dark Eldar Army Scheme

by SandWyrm

I've been a huge fan of the site for a while now and I've got a color-related question that I was hoping you could help me out with. I'm trying to come up with a scheme for my DE and am having some trouble figuring it out.

Dark Eldar vs Blood Angels

By TheGravemind

I had my first games after a couple weeks of sitting out, and man was it great to be back. My first game went kill points 9-4 in my favor, and we started early enough I was able to pick up a second game afterward. Game two was vs Dark Eldar, and it was 5 objectives with pitched battle deployment. I roll a 2 to go first and thinking "great, I'm going second against DE," but he rolls a 1, and is not running Vect. So I deploy my toys and am ready to grab some objectives.

Tron Legacy

by SandWyrm

I was fully expecting it to suck after all the critical hate. But it actually turned out to be pretty good, with a tighter story than the first film. My only real complaint was the a-bit-too-fast pacing and the zoomed in, shaky Galactica-cam during the action sequences. It needed a long shot or two to better convey what was going on in those scenes.

It's pretty obvious that there will be a sequel within a year. Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Inception) was playing Dillinger's son in the boardroom scene, and he doesn't do bit parts anymore. :)

My Stormraven conversion part 2

By TheGraveMind

 

 My Stormraven is complete! Well, as finished as it is going to get. To fit my theme of the chapter Plasma Drakes, I'm calling it the Night Fury pattern storm raven. The wings of a B2 stealth bomber, and my obsession with plasma weapons I think justifies it. It has been a long time coming, with many months of effort, and a couple tubes of super glue it seems.

My Stormraven conversion part 1

by TheGraveMind

A Stormraven, The landraider of the sky. After seeing many great conversions, and some not so great... I started thinking about making my own. I was tired of the Landraider-front/Valkyrie-end look.  So I spent three days, and some notebook pages coming up with designs,.... and then it hit me.
