Orks Versus Grey Knights: “Uh, Sir, that’s a little too close.”
As if the Grey Knights didn’t have enough trouble. They semi-successfully defended “the relic” from a covetous space marine chapter, when a bunch of orks rumbled onto the very same battlefield twenty minutes later. Almost makes one feel bad for the boys from Titan, except there is no pity in the 41st millennium. The mission…

Charge of the Light Briga– … er Wolves!
I’ve been working on my Space Wolves for several months now, and decided to play them in a live game for the first time, with liberal amounts of my husband’s Ultramarines sprinkled in as “counts as” Space Wolves. So I took a few pictures with my cell phone. I was originally attracted to painting the…

Twin-Linked Tournament: “The Space Communists”
We made the drive up from Santa Cruz to Sacramento on Sunday to participate as “The Space Communists” in the Twin Linked Tournament, which is basically a doubles format where each player fields 1000 points. My team partner, Mark, played Tau and I played Orks. His was a rather eclectic group of blueskins, featuring a…

The Great Martian War
I ran across this video the other day and quite enjoyed it and thought that most anyone who likes 40K or steampunk in general might like it, so I’m posting it here. I noticed some interesting details revolving around the adoption of alien technology by the humans, such as a futuristic blaster on a tank…

“Those Guys Look Like They Know How to Party!”
I finally finished up a minimum-sized mob of nob bikers, along with my Forge World warboss. I magnetized some of the arms in case I want to swap out their weapons and to make transporting them to games a bit easier. One funny thing about painting one biker and then not getting around to finishing…

Swords Against Tanks!
I played my orks in a three player game recently. My friend played Imperial Fists, who were my allies, and together we took on a mechanized Guard player. There were ruins in each of our deployment zones but otherwise a featureless board in no-man’s land. The mission was a custom one featuring victory points for…

It isn’t every day …
I played in a tournament last weekend where a bunch of space marine chapters were engaged in a friendly competition for the “Emperor’s Cup”. All of the players had to take the same space marine list. The game was three rounds and each battle took place in a different environment — vacuum, underwater, and with…

Wolf Pack!
I have a lot of 40K stuff sitting alone and afraid in my closet, unpainted and apparently unloved, and that includes a ton of space wolves. I’ve finally wound up my long-standing ork shoota boy squad project, so I thought I’d turn my attention to some marines. Now space wolves for me are all about the…

Moar Boyz: Trukk Squad Done
I finished my ‘ard shoota boyz trukk squad after several months of work. They are mostly armed with Kalashnikovs, which have proven a robust and effective assault rifle in the far future. I painted enough orks so that I can run them with just shootas or I can include a rokkit or big shoota, as…
