All a Twitter

Well, I went on to Twitter today and followed like a hundred people. Wired.com created a list of geeks everyone should follow. A lot of the names were familiar, but I am really more interested in some of the people I haven't heard of. Knowledge is power (right Ice-T). It has been so hard for me to stay focused on anything. We haven't been playing tabletop or RPG's, I have let all the computer games and forums slip, I keep having friends and family die around, not working, can't write, my girl dumped me on Mother's Day. It is ludicrous. One of these days things are going to get easier. Maybe when the Mayan calender closes out this year, we really will end up in a new world order.

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll. B...

One army, Two Games

I have been debating about how to do this. The main thing is deciding whether or not I really want to bother with it. But all of my daemons are currently legal for Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar because they share the same base size. So the issue is, with the return of Warhammer: The Old World the bases are really screwy. So let me explain. If I try to transfer over my daemons the oval bases for the most part won't fit on the square bases. In addition to the roughly 25 Bloodletters I also have about 60 Pink Horrors and 9 Flamers. If I rebase any of this stuff, then I won't have access to it in another game. So with these models I am basically restarting from scratch on my Infantry. I have thirty more Pink Horrors and nine more Flamers on the way, so I am simply going to start them on new 30mm bases if I want to use them. If I decide to redo my Khorne daemons, I might honestly - but that's probably down the line. So stuff is going to work a lot better. As illust...

Chaos Daemon Codex

I actually picked up both versions last week when they came out. One of the local games stores ( link ) was offering to stay open a few minutes after midnight to sell a few to loyal fans who showed up, and I was right down the road listening to a little blues. Being more of a 40k player, I have literally only gone over that version of the rules bit by bit at this point. My army is based on sqaure bases, so for WFB I do have a significant army. I have to admit at first I wasn't too upset with the new rules for 40k. That being said as time as gone I am more and more concerned. The random elements are structurally hard to plan for. In one turn, you can lose a powerful model, create one by destroying an enemy psyker, hit every single opponents unit with a powerful attack, or lose your saving throws. That is just at the start of the turn. There are some many crazy effects in the Warp Storm table it is staggering. Other things are popping up too. The idea that Pink Horror...
