How will 6th Edition effect my Harlequins?

Nick speaking, As many of you already know, my Harlie army is totally inspired by Fritz and his Harlequin build. Thirty Harlequins, Eldrad/Maugan Ra, three Wraithlords and two groups of Pathfinders. The army was quirky and used a large amount of Eldar Tricknology, but it was a blast to play and I didn't invest a lot of money into the...

Harlequin 6th Edition Battle Report

Nick speaking, For my last 1k point game of 6th Edition before I moved up in points, I got out my Harlequins. I wasn't expecting too much from them at this point level, but I was interested to see how they would run with the new Veil of Tears rule granting them a 2+ cover save, after all, how  many ones can you roll? ...

Flying Stem Please!

Nick speaking, Right, it's no good, I just have to get a new Stem for my Flying base! It has been bugging me for a while now, that stupid 'burn' I have at the bottom of my stem on my flying base. Obviously, I just put too much glue on it when I glued it. At the time, I just accepted it, but now I want to replace it with a new one, as I...

My 6th Edition Painting list

Nick speaking, Although I don't have a rigid painting list, I do like to have a choice of a few units that I know I will paint next. It's always good to have some sort of long term goal for what needs to be painted, but sometimes you just have to paint whatever excites you at the time. When 6th Edition hit, I had just started painting up...

How will 6th Edition effect my Tyranids?

Nick speaking, Time for me take a closer look at my Tyranids for 6th Edition, and as in my previous posts in this mini series, this is not going to be an in depth step by step guide of Nids. It's more about what I am thinking and have learnt so far regarding 6th Edition and what the starting point is going to be for my Stinger Hive Fleet...

Beating Overwatch!

Nick speaking, In the battle report I just posted up, where I was playing my Nids against Blood Angels. I ended up in a position where I had some Genestealers and a group of Hormagaunts ready to assault some Sternguard. It was at this point in the game that an article I recently read over on Embolden40k popped into my head. His article...

Tyranid 6th Edition Battle Report

Nick speaking, It seems like most of my previous army lists for my Tyranids are going to have major problems with the new 6th Edition rules. We all know the reasons for this, no assaulting from Reserve or the Flank, no full reserves, Overwatch etc. I will have a closer look at these sort of things in a future post where I will talk about...

Fortifications, are they worth it?

Nick speaking, So we all know the main reason you are now able to purchase your own Fortifications for your army in 6th edition. GW just want to sell more terrain and that's fair enough, they do actually make some cool looking terrain that can easily enhance the look of our battlefields. The question is though, is it worth buying Fortifications...

6th Edition Night Scythe Tactics

Nick speaking, There is no beating around the bush, the Necron Night Scythe has got a massive boost with the new Flyer rules in 6th Edition, or at least, it now does what GW intended it to do when they first introduced it into our robotic army. So what is the best way to use the Night Scythe? I am not talking about making a spammed out...

How will 6th Edition effect my Space Wolves?

Nick speaking, As many of you already know, my Space Wolves are based on the 13th Company chapter from the Eye of Terror Codex. They were lost for so long that their Vehicles no longer functioned. A full foot army, except for a very small elite group of Storm Claw Bikers. As soon as I heard about the new Hull Point rules in 6th Edition,...

Space Wolves 6th Edition Battle Report

Nick speaking, Time to get my Space Wolves on the table for their first 6th Edition game. Once again, we were playing a small 1,000 point game, so I thought I would give the good old faithful Rhino a chance to prove their worth. It was a very enjoyable game for the both of us, although we did find there was an unusual lack of assaults,...
