Tervigon Project

Nick speaking, With my good old Carnifex model currently filling in for a Tervigon, I thought it was about time I let it be a Carnifex again, and make myself a Tervigon model. I will need to make it on a bit of a budget, and with my Carnifexes being the old school models, it seemed obvious to me that the current Carnifex sprue would make...

Eldar Shining Spears

Nick speaking, There is something about the Shining Spear models that really appeal to me. I know it's nothing to do with how they perform on the table, which although they can be fun to use, are simply not worth the points in a competitive list. No it has to do with, well, just liking the pictures in the Codex! I think it's mainly...

Painted Seer Council First Battle Report

Nick speaking, With my Seer Council all finished, and the rest of my first Saim Hann styled, IDIC Hann army painted (except for five Dire Avengers), I couldn't wait to get the army on the table for a game. Win or lose, I just wanted to see the Seer Council in action... ...

Guide, Doom and Fortune - Markers?

Nick speaking, How do you remember where all your Eldar psychic powers are? At the moment I use some token marker that I made up in Photoshop, nothing fancy, but when laminated and cut up they work pretty well at reminding me, and my opponent, where my Guide, Fortune and Doom powers are. I find them very handy, and I can have as many tokens...

Curiosity killed the...Vectored Engine!

Nick speaking, I have been playing Eldar for a while now, and right from the begining, I have always geared my Grav Tanks up with Spirit Stones, Star Engines, Holo-Fields and Vectored Engines. I knew that popular believe was that Vectored Engines were a waste of points, and that I could buy another basic Fire Prism for the points I spent,...

Melted Tank Markers!

Nick speaking, We are all used to tanks that are destroyed by Melta guns, but what about having a melted tank marker to represent the damaged tank? Not so long ago, my buddy found these toy tanks in his local pound shop, although not pretty, they are about the same size a Predator/Rhino/Razorback, and we thought with a bit of work, they...

Eldar City of Death Battle Report

Nick speaking, After upgrading my Cities of Death 1500pt Eldar list to 1750pt, I was all set to start playing with my buildings again for some fun. As it turns out, I had even more fun than I expected, It was such a pleasure to get my Cities of Death terrain back out on the table.. Most of the units I use in CoD, never really come out...

Varnishing Flying Bases

Nick speaking, When I first started painting my 40k models, I will always remember something a friend of mine told me "If you can see it, then you can paint it" and that is one reason why I always tend to base my flying bases rather than just leaving them clear... I am also a bit of a fussy person, and I have to admit that I do prefer...

750pt Nids List

Nick speaking, Every so often my buddies and I will get together for a fun four way battle. We find the easiest mission to play is Space Junk, where you have random, centrally positioned objectives that scatter about. We tend to play 750pts with a minimum of one troop and one HQ, and of course random player turns. Usually, it is a great...

Tyranid Stinger Assault Battle Report

Nick speaking, After talking about My Winged Hive Tyrant and how so far, I haven't got around to using her since fifth edition came out, I was really looking forward to playing her in my new, reserve all, deep strike type army list. As it turned out, I got passed first turn against an all reserve Blood Angel army, but I still had enough...

More to come on the Farseers hair...
