Army Construction

Well another tournament has come and gone at FTW Games (the home of Spikey Bits), and here is the top finishers for our event.At the top is arguably one of the best players in 40k, followed by quite a few well know names around the tournament circuit as well. Once again Eldar seems to have […]

So I have been cranking out SM list ideas everyday since the new book dropped…I decided to post them all in one place for the world to see! These are all 1850 points, and are 100% proven to work some of the time. You may want to also checkout my series of Next Level Blood Angels […]

So I was surfing around the blog-o-sphere yesterday killing time, and I happened on a very well written article on Hero’s blog about making army lists. I really agree with most of his points, so I figured the post was so awesome I would share it here. From Hero’s Blog: What makes a good list? […]

Mechanized Imperial Guard has been a strong build pretty much since it’s release. I started running it shortly thereafter with my Looted Guard, and did very well with the army over the past few years (most recently going 6-1 and winning the American Team Championships). In this  new competitive era of win/ loss and Primary Secondary Tertiary objectives at tournaments, I’ve had […]

So last time we talked a little about the current Grey Knights Meta.  Now lets take a look at some anti Grey Knights tactics, and see how I’ve defeated them using Blood Angels. For a lot of players Blood Angels may not even be a consideration in this current world of Space Wolves, Imperial Guard, and Grey Knights, oh […]

It seems everywhere you go these days it’s Grey Knights all the time. Why? Well lets face it, they have a very broad appeal and in the local environment they seem to be easy to win with. Casual players may not have adapted to their tricks and tactics yet, and the GK’s can win just on their […]

Welcome to a another guest post by Togashi Shinkaze. You can catch him lurking about over at Laughter of the Thirsting Gods talking about “metas” and “fun 40k”. Worth a read!I built the list below specifically to play at Nova. I wouldn’t really play it at any other tournament that I know of. I thought it […]

MBG here with a possibly blasphemous question; why take a Librarian in a Grey Knight army? Sure, sure, the benefits are obvious; extra cover saves with Shrouding, extra Hammerhands, Armor Penetration from Might of Titans, and fun with Sanctuary, etc. just to name a few. But seriously though, is it worth taking a Librarian? I’m starting to say nay my friends […]

Well believe it or not ‘Ard Boyz prelims are almost here, and all the boys and girls are getting ready for battle!  The thing I’ve come to love about this event, is the complete shift in meta away from any standard tournament circuit type series. At ‘Ard Boyz you’ll see the most random lists in addition to a […]

In my early testing I was so enamored with fast moving troop squads that I didn’t pay a lot of attention to some of the more expensive units in the codex. After the love fest with 60 assault marines wore off (and really what isn’t there to love?) I started to tool around with honor […]

TPM Blood Angel is back with some thoughts about everyones favorite bonus tank rule, The Power of the Machine Spirit. I have not been all about the Storm Raven like a lot of Blood Angel players. I just don’t think it will make it into the most competitive builds, but I might be wrong. The […]

TPM Paul Murphy asks, where does guard stack in the current and evolving meta game? Over the years Games Workshop has struggled trying to make the Imperial Guard actually competitive. Every past guard player I have ever known thought that the secret to winning with them was more troops. If they lost a game they […]

It’s been a few weeks since the Blood Angels codex came out, and well I’m still reeling with how to deal with them. The main problems are that they close way to quick with my battle line, whether its 18″ rhinos or podding/ deep striking, and I cant shake them off quick enough.  So in […]

Well I guess its been about a year now since GW game out with the Vendetta Model, and with it ignited a rules firestorm that still flares up to this day. The one question remains; How do you play it?  Good Question.  Is it a skimmer? If so why is it on that $#%*-ing stupidly […]

This was the third rewrite of my Blood Angels list. I kinda did it on the fly too, and made some mistakes, BUT I knew I wanted to play around with Mephiston. As TPM Blood Angel pointed out Mephiston is a Death Star, able to kill with realitive ease most units in the game.  However […]

MBG back again with an interesting look at selecting drop pods.  It seems like ever since the Space Marine codex came back out in 2008 pods have been at the forefront of most battles. First came the Kantor/Sternguard lists, then the podding Vulkan He’stan armies, and now we have Blood Angels throwing their weight around. […]

TPM Blood Angel back again with some more BA ponderings.  I have a love hate relationship with these guys. They look cool and are fun to take so what’s the problem? Well, in almost every edition of the game they have had slim to no survivability. With proliferation of drop pods in the previous marine […]

I love the concept of the Blood Angels honor guard. I used them back in ’06 for my grand tournament list despite them being horribly over valued point wise. I just really liked the idea of my Sanguinary High Priest being surrounded by fanatical followers of the Primarch. I ran them around in a Land […]
