Twin-Linked Grand Tournament (Day Two): “Return of the Space Communists”
So with new pilots recruited, more piles of scrap cobbled back together as horrible travesties of wheeled vehicles, and blue skins flocking to the glorious banner of the Greater Good, we returned once again to the crucible of war for a second day of gaming in the Sacramento Sector. Game Four: The Greater Infestation We…

Here Come the Thunderwolves!
I recently finished painting my second thunderwolf cavalry model the other day. As cavalry goes, these guys are perhaps a little unusual, but I thought it might be fun to include an iconic weapon of mounted warriors — the lance. There are no pole arms of any kind that come in the kit, so I…

Twin-Linked Grand Tournament (Day One): “Return of the Space Communists”
Back in December, I once again made the drive to Sacramento with Mark of the Farsight Enclaves to fight for the Greater Good in the Twin Linked Grand Tournament. This is a six game, two-day end-of-year team tournament that is a sort of final exclamation point for the team tournaments of 2014. It is run…

“Make sure you get my good side, Mortal!”
I have been working on painting some Kromlech “Gnaws” lately. They come in packs of three and there are currently two sets of different sculpts available. My favorite right now is this guy with the lovely cluster of cheek warts. I doubt they’ll get much use for me in games, though I might dabble with…

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…

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…

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…

Project Necron
An acquaintance gave me his necron army some time ago when he made a permanent exit from the world of 40K. They’ve languished in my storage locker for several months. If any of my unpainted 40K factions should repose in the gnawing darkness neglected and forgotten it seems appropriate to me somehow that it be…

Chaos Marines & Orks versus Dark Angels
1500 Point Armies Mission: Crusade Deployment: Vanguard Strike Warlord Traits: I have no idea what the Dark Angel player rolled. If it mattered then I didn’t notice. I rolled “Hatred Incarnate” which turned out to be kind of handy. I decided to start playing allies now that more of my friends are building allied lists…
