I'm so pleased with what's been implemented over the past week. 1. There's a new looks to the user profile page. It's modeled on the stats dashboards from a couple of different computer games. I think it looks pretty slick. 2. I've added campaign badges to events and (when they're available) leagues and tournaments. Woo hoo! If you want to see how it looks check out my profile at http://itoysoldiers.com/users/sizzly . The panel that says, "Recent Campaigns" shows two examples that I put in place for the apocalypse games I've...

Today I finally got around to a skirmish using the Tomorrow's war rule set by Ambush Alley games.I have played these once many months ago at a club game which was very enjoyable and led me to picking up a set of the rules. Numerous people on-line have already discussed the good and bad points about these rules or the presentation of these rules and I feel little will be added by me adding my two-pence so let me leave it as whilst I would agree these rules are perhaps not in the most reader friendly order once you read them a few times and get some games under your belt you will likely find...

Recently I was able to complete a few skirmish games of Song of Blades and Heroes with a like minded friend who came to visit for a weekend. Unfortunately we only managed to photograph the first four games of the weekend which I will now share with you here - what I will say is that we did lose most of Sunday to working out how to play the board game Horus Heresy which is good fun once you get to grips with all of the rules and how it works but it can take awhile that first time! (also if your not into your 40k as a setting you may just give up!)We also got some Firestorm Armada played which...

Another, more menacing photo of my World Eaters Dreadnaught. I love this photo. Huge thanks to Dol ( http://flickr.com/photos/dolmansaxlil ) for the shot.

I've finally fixed on the name of my army, "Malleus Deus Sanguinem" or the Hammer of the Blood God. The concept for the army (and I plan on writing some real fluff for it) is that they are the remnants of the XIV company of the XII Legion Astartes, World Eaters - a company that Angron repurposed as a siege company. Their role within the Legion was to crack open fortifications and deal with enemy armor.This lets me "justify" the inclusion of a number of tanks (I love vehicles) and a squad of regular traitor marines with Meltas. I still give everything the Mark of Khorne and the bulk of the...

Under New Management Following widespread rumours of corruption and dishonesty, the Slag Valley Star has gone into liquidation. It was reputed to be blatantly pro House Van Saar to the detriment of all other Houses on Hive Primus. Thankfully following the outlawing of the infamous Psi Judges- a terrible band of reprobates who used the Slag Valley Star as a means of maintaining a façade of legality- their printing press and seditious rumor-mongering is no...

 Slag Valley Star #1 Gang Warfare has hit the settlement of Fornication Gulch Reports are coming in of a large scale gang war between a Van Saar Gang called the Psi Judges and a group of Orlocks called The Bushwackers, which shows all the signs of escalating to cover this entire region of Hive Primus.
