Alternative List 1750: No Tanks!

Kinda going back to the idea I've had before of using artillery and infantry for a list, I thought that this might be a fun list to play at the upcoming tournament. What does the internet think?

Incoming!

Upcoming Tournament! 1750!

Well, the tournament I tried to organize isn't going to happen. Too many difficulties getting the players that wanted to do it a certain way to actually do it that way. I eventually quit. Not worth the stress.

That being said, I'm going to play in my FLGS's next tournament on the 12th of April and this is the list I'm thinking about bringing.

Ye thou I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for I have the Demolisher Cannon and they do not.!

Mage 20th Anniversary Edition Kickstarter

I don't normally get to talk about RPGs because I don't have the time (or players) to play them but I stumble across this and couldn't resist handing over a portion of my tax refund (good timing Onyx Path.)

Deluxe Mage: the Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition

If you know what this is, I both commend you and call you a great big nerd.

OOOHH! Shiny!

A short post today but I wanted to talk about the new minis popping up around the web for the upcoming IG release.

Gads! The Horror!

Studying Warfare: The Nine Principals of Warfare

Now from time to time I hear people talk about playing Warhammer 40k and act they're somehow Napoleon leading is grand army. Often I just snork, nod my head, and move one with life. I mean, its a game, right? Right?

That being said, the study of warfare has always fascinated me and that's why I've gone back to college to get me a Master's in Military History. There is a lot of lessons to learn when so much is on the line and some study of warfare can translate over to games like Warhammer. To that end, I've decided to do a series (I don't know how many) where I attempt to apply lessons of warfare to games like Warhammer. So come on in, the waters fine.

How I Try to See Myself

Cover Saves

I know that cover saves are a complex mechanic and that GW has tried several ways to balance this necessary feature of the game. Sadly, they usually fall short. Whatever you opinion though, knowing how to use cover saves to your advantage is a good thing.

The Truth About Cover Saves in 40k

These interpretations of the rules will also be the rules used in the upcoming tournament. While many may or may not like 3++ I think that this post particularly is well written and well thought out. Hope you all enjoy.

So, I'm Running A Tournament

I'm stepping up and running a tournament. I'm coming up with rules () and going to be a player/judge. It's something I've always wanted to do and this'll be the first step. If all goes well, maybe I'll try to organize something annual or semi-annual. At the moment, it is just 6 guys but that makes it perfect to try something out.
