Welcome to Army of One, where I display a great looking painted model from stuff I’ve done or amazing figures I’ve seen around. If you click on the Army of One label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking figures, all at once. Today we take a look at a renegade guard adviser from TPM’s Chaos / […]

This article seemed a perfect fit for here, because it showcases what an “average” hobbyist can do with a little research and elbow grease.  TPM is not a great painter (he even says so below), BUT he tries hard, follows tutorials, and in the end makes some really great looking stuff that anyone would be proud to […]

Today we have another guest post by TPM, that addresses what to do now with the rumored legalization of Imperial Armor units in 6th! From TPM A buddy of mine asked me what list I would build for a tournament that allowed these units and below is what I came up with. I am pretty disappointed […]

This is part 2 of an interview that was started over on BOLS. If you came here from there thanks a lot for following along. We pick up with Nick starting to theorize about list design after coming back from competing in the European Team Championships. Nicholas says: Coming back from the ETC I want […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
