New Necron Codex Review - We'll be Back

Nick speaking, As a Necron player the 'We'll be back' rule is one of the most fun things about Necrons that we still have left. Of course in the old days it wasn't quite as much fun as destroying a vehicle with your strength four Gauss flyer, especially a Land Raider! But it is still rewarding to see your opponent cringe at the sight...

New Necron Codex review - The Void Dragon & The Outsider C'tans

Nick speaking, I suppose it wouldn't be right if we didn't have a quick look at the two other Star Gods that remain for my New Necron Codex review, The Void Dragon and The Outsider! There are implications that The Outsider is named so because it is physically outside of something, possibly the galaxy, and I cannot foresee the Outsider...

Bringing the broods to life - Carnifex Revisited!

Nick speaking, As I painted my Zoanthropes, I couldn't help but think about my recently painted Carnifex, and how I didn't blend the Scything Talons! I originally opted to give them a basic layering of highlights so that I could get out as many painted bugs as I could. This works fine on the smaller Talons and horns, but the larger Talons...

New Necron Codex Review - Deceiver

Nick speaking, The next C'Tan to get a New Necron Codex Review, is the mighty Deceiver. Although the Deceiver is less in points cost to the Nightbringer, he still racks up 300 points, so once again we have to ask ourselves, is he worth it? I was never really interested in the Deceiver back in forth edition, If I ever thought about...

Using Unused Units!

Nick speaking, So I have previously talked about how playing different scenarios and missions can really change your army, and how Cities of Death really helped my Wulvenkind perform on the table, even with my old Codex. But the best thing about playing something different, is that it can unlock those units that you don't usually play...

New Necron Codex Review - Nightbringer

Nick speaking, The first of the Necron C'Tan's to get a New Necron Codex Review is the Nightbringer. This Necron God is an awesome model with a very spooky name. It is the type of model that should make your opponent quiver in their shoes when you place it on the table! But for 365 points, is he really that scary? The normal point...

Love your Army!

Nick speaking, About five years ago, you would hardly ever see my Eye of Terror Space Wolves 13th company on the table, in actual fact if I hadn't put so much time, effort and money into converting them all, I probably would have sold them off by now. With the lack of vehicles and an aging Codex compared to the new shinny editions, I...

New Necron Codex Review - Necron Lord

Nick speaking, So, moving onto HQ units in this New Necron Codex Review series, is the mighty Necron Lord. And lets face it he needs to be mighty, as at the moment apart from the point expensive C'Tan, he's all we've got! Although I own three foot Lords, which were great to put in amongst your walking phalanx in forth edition....

Mech Eldar Vs Chaos Daemons (not video)

Nick speaking, After just finishing my additional two Forge World Wave Serpents, it was time to put them to the test. I have been messing around with one Serpent for a while now, but I always knew what I was going to do with my three tanks when I eventually got them done! Banshees, Dragons and Dire Avengers, all maxed out! Just for some fun... This is what my six tank list looks like in this battle report: 1x Serpent...

Beans for Painting!

Nick speaking, Beans? Yes, but not baked beans, I mean bean bags! Whether you buy or make them, if your painting at a table, these can really help. It usually gets quite uncomfortable resting your hands, elbows or forearms on a table for more than a short period of time, but not any more! With only two beans bags you can get comfort...

New Necron Codex Review - Pylon

Nick speaking, So the question is, will the Necron Pylon make it into the New Necron Codex? Looking at some of the latest Codex's that have come out, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did! Just look at the Nid Trygon and Blood Angels Storm Raven! But what should be done with the Pylon if it makes it into the new Codex? At...

Bringing the broods to life - Mycetic Spore

Nick speaking, After a lot of messing around and trying to make my own Mycetic Spores, I finally decided that the Mega bloks Plasma "Hatchers," were going to be the easiest way to get myself some pods until GW makes us a model. That said I think the Hatchers are so good as Nid Pods, that I might not even bother with the real thing when...

New Necron Codex Review - Tomb Stalker

Nick speaking, Well, well, I certainly wasn't expecting to have an additional Heavy Support choice to review in my New Necron Codex post run, but the Tomb Stalker is here, and it deserves a review...

Turn Five Eldar Battle Report

Nick speaking, Turn five is usually key for my IDIC Hann, Saim-Hann styled army list. Reserving everything and going in for turn five contesting or staying out of trouble for the annihilation mission, are tried and tested Eldar trickery tactics. In this first video battle report against Blood Angels with my newly painted Eldar tanks, it was a different story... I needed the game to go on... ...
