Tyranid 'Loc List' Update with Defence Line

Nick speaking, Even though my Defence Line is Necron themed, I plan on trying it out with some of my other armies as well. I figured that if my Nids were using a Necron looking Defence Line, it wouldn't look that odd, as the rest of my gaming board is based on Necron terrain anyway. So until I get myself a pukka Nid Defence Line, they will...

Necron Base Topper Review

Nick speaking, Next on my list of Laser Cut Card products that I wanted to try out, were the 'Cyborg' Base Topper sets. There is a large range of different Glyph shapes, which is perfect for giving you a way to distinguish your units, but with them all matching up as well.

Guard Tournament List

Rob speaking, So, after my intro post the other day, I briefly talked about what army I’m currently using, Guard with Allied Space Wolves for those who missed it. This list has evolved quite a bit since it’s inception, I was originally running Space Wolves with Guard allies, but I have enjoyed using the guard way too much, so much so,...

Necron Defence Line list

Nick speaking, Now that I have my Laser Cut Card Necron Defence Line finished, I suppose it's about time I incorporated it into one of my army lists. The main list I have been using lately is my Scythe Veil list, which so far has been performing really well, but has also seen a few areas where I think I can improve it further. The list...

Eldar Doom or Eldar Doomed?

Nick speaking, Oh dear, the new FAQ updates are now out and it looks like it's going to have to be Footdar all the way from now on. Please GW, leave us alone or give us a new Codex! Q: The Farseer Psychic Powers rules state that they do not require the Eldar Psyker to have line of sight to the target. Does this mean that they can be used...

Necron Bling! Yes or No?

Nick speaking, Some of you may have noticed the Necron Glyphs I had on the bases of my Tomb Blades/Destroyers in my last post. Well, they were blinged up from the off cuts I had from my Laser Cut Card Obelisks and Defence line, which is just another added bonus of these great products, and the possibilities of what you could do with these...

Tomb Blades/Destroyers Painted

Nick speaking, Here are the Necron Destroyers that I got off eBay recently all finished up.  I am really loving these old minis and I plan on using them as Tomb Blades to start with. I was actually quite surprised to see that they are not actually that much smaller than the current Destroyer models, so I don't have any qualms about...

Rules Help! Tyranids and Quad Guns?

Nick speaking, OK, so can Tyranids fire a Quad/Icarus Gun in a Defence Line? The Tyranid FAQ's ruling for Nids means they are forbidden to manually fire 'Emplaced Weapons' in buildings, but there is no mention of 'Gun Emplacements', which seem to have their own distinct rules! So I am correct in saying that Nids CAN manually fire 'Gun...
