Personal House Rules

Nick speaking, I have previously talked about house rules, but what about personal house rules?

Fear Factor Battle Report

Nick speaking, Putting my Space Wolves Fear Factor army list on the table against Orks had me re-thinking what my two units of Thunderwolves were going to do!

Ymgarl upgrade and Battle Report

Nick speaking, After having very good results from playing most of my games with thirty flanking Genestealers, it was time for the Stinger Hive Fleet to upgrade them to Ymgarls!

Converting Lady Malys?

Nick speaking, Continuing on with my Dark Eldar Harlequin themed army, and thinking about how well Eldrad supports my normal Eldar Harlequins, leads me to one entry in the Codex, Lady Malys!
