I recently started Pan and this is going to be a wonderful addition. That said, looks like I’ll be starting Nomads, too!

So the Grey Knights were my last army and all I’ve played since last April. I’ve started Chaos Space Marines, though, and I’m pretty excited for what’s ahead 🙂

I had to come on here just to agree. An all foot list is sketchy as it is, but they take a food list, knowing they’d be walking and chose to shorten their range by dropping bolters. They took no vehicles, so had no long range fire support, didn’t take any fiends, deepstruck into a […]

I agree. I purchased the plastic Chaos Sorcerer and thought, “Damn, this is a lot better than Finecast, why aren’t we getting these more often?”

I bought a Finecast Terminator Librarian that same day…. 🙁
Waiting for a replacement…

I, for one, am incredibly excited about this. It’s not so much about what we current players need, but getting more people from other game systems over to join us. I think it’s a great idea.

Beautiful model! Looks much easier to build than I imagined.

Off topic: The video is out of focus for the entire time. The close-cam is fine, but the main camera is focused on the shelves in the back, while he is blurred.

Fri, 13 May 2011 13:34:10 +0100

According to the BRB, the base is all that matters for assaults. Flyers are weird, honestly, because it should be impossible for them to be assaulted at all. My Stormraven is several hundred feet in the air, peppering the enemy with fire, how exactly is it being assaulted? I know they’d be too powerful, but […]

But those bases look absolutely amazing. Honestly, you’ve struck gold on these. Beautiful.

brisbane commented on the post, How Honour Guard & Retinue Works

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:55:11 +0100

No, he doesn’t, but the Darrel is mistaken in this case. Honor Guards, etc are not retinues. The only thing that could be considered a retinue in 5th are characters like Arjac and Justicar Thawn, who are unit upgrades so they’re not IC’s.

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:43:41 +0100

I’m a huge fan of the Stormraven. It dies quickly but usually after it’s in your opponent’s face and is ready to unload its cargo. Additionally, it’s cheaper and has more firepower than a Land Raider (at the cost of survivability, of course).

brisbane commented on the post, Tank Shocking Objectives

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 19:13:33 +0100

If the klaw nob would end up under the rhino, yes. A smart player will tank shot a normal nob and deny the klaw the chance to hit it.

Preparing for the Battle for Salvation GT, taking the Wolves or the Dark Eldar. Getting them all painted and built and play testing at least once a week. It’s going to be a busy summer.

Sadly I’ll be missing the NOVA this year, but Conflict GT, Adepticon and NOVA are on tap for next year 🙂

brisbane commented on the post, Yu Jing - Japanese Sectorial army

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 03:57:02 +0000

Definitely the army that appeals to me most. If I’m honest, though, the paint jobs are so incredible, I’m almost afraid to start painting them up. If I don’t win the draw, I’ll take a look at that 50% sale and get something started.

Been a while, but lots has changed. Space Wolves have been traded off for Dark Eldar. Despite the fluff, the rules just don’t make for an enjoyable gameplay experience (for me).

I continue to build up my Blood Angels (Stormraven and Furiouso, yay) and have really been getting into the hobby lately. Lots of foam covering the floor of my basement O.o

I’m with you, mate. Very beautiful models, but very over priced. It’s a shame, I think GW might be shooting themselves in the foot on this one.

I love the Sanguinary Guard. They’re amazingly killy and resilient. You have to be careful with them because they have no invulnerable, but if you move them with some wisdom they can beat face.

I’m actually a little disappointed we didn’t get a big Hordes Mk II week like we’ve gotten for most of the recent Codices. We even got a Mantic weekend O.o during the week of the Hordes Mk II release.

Give us some good news here, mates!

Wow, I’d have to agree, as well. Pretty cut and dry, chase the nearest unit, charge anyone you want (assuming you didn’t shoot at someone else).

Color me cheesy, but I’ll be trying this on Friday 😉

Is it safe to assume that we’ll get some big, massive Hordes Mk II coverage here on BoW, soon?
It’s only fair, and would be kick all sorts of butt.

I’m just saying, these ‘two’ companies should just hook up and cut the nonsense. We all know where everything came from, just get married and make some starcraft 2 tabletop babies!

The similarities are quite blatant. It’s almost sad how Orcs and Orks are nearly identical, it really speaks to Blizzard’s lack of real creativity. I mean, even the Tau were brought over to WoW in their beefier cousins, the Draenei. That said, if GW isn’t going to sue, then so be it. Blizz has a […]

I love Dreads…love them. I know so many are down on them, but on the table it’s hard to see why that is. They’re pretty effective at either killing stuff or at distracting your opponent for a round or two of fire. Either way, for me they’re worth the points.

They also look bad@$$

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:30:39 +0100

Overall, my biggest issue with 40k is that the rules are still pretty weak, especially compared to other game systems. To be specific, the codices usually break the solid base of the game.

Anyways, that’s my biggest peeve.

After leaving the game just before 4th ed, I spent lots of time trying out other systems (Void, Confrontation, Mordheim, Warmachine/Hordes..some of which I still play) until I finally came back to 40k a year ago, with a much more open and relaxed state of mind for gaming.

Nice video. Each time I see the Warhammer book I wonder if it might be time to get into fantasy.

I’m still waiting on someone to say that Ogre Kingdoms are competitive for me to dive in, I think. Otherwise, the model count just keeps scaring me away.
