Magnetized Titans

Though I built my Warhound and Reaver titans some time ago, and included magnets in the build, I was never really happy with how the magnetization turned out.  The magnets dangled out in the open, and, honestly, the number of times I had to reglue them was a bit of a pain.  This weekend, I got out all my measuring tools, fired up FreeCAD and my 3D printer, and decided I was going to do something about it.

Warhammer League – Week 6

This week, with the rather large points bump, I decided to swing more toward knights than Space Wolves.  I felt the need to do this mostly because I wanted to be able to use my custom knightly house and actually have the name mean something in terms of getting a household bonus (as compared to having a household name, but no bonus).  I also took the opportunity to run a relic dreadnought – something I’ve been trying to fit in all league, but kept getting trumped by other options.  The tradeoff for this was that I’m not running Bjorn the Fell-Handed or Murderfang – everything has its price.

Warhammer League – Week 5

In terms of rules updates, this is the week I’ve been waiting for – the chance to bring Lords of War.  One of the things that I love about Warhammer 40k is the big stuff; in this case, knights.  This week, I kind of felt like I got to have everything – dreadnoughts, all the Space Wolf character dreadnoughts, my own character dreadnought, and a knight: Continue reading Warhammer League – Week 5

Warhammer League – Week 4

This week in Warhammer we escalated to 1000 point games with additional allowances of named characters (see if you can guess what I brought).  It was also time to increase our board size to 6’x4′, and, for me at least, play a tandem match.  I was super-excited about this game because I was going to be playing a tandem match with Brooke – my melee centric dreadnoughts backed by her Adeptus Mechanicus gunline promised to be really fun.

Our lists and a report of the battle, after the jump. Continue reading Warhammer League – Week 4

Warhammer League – Week 3

After a two-week break, we came back to the Warhammer League for another game at 750 points.  This week, there was a lot less to prepare for (as everything was randomized) and nearly everything changed (points costs due to Chapter Approved, Warlord/Relic rules, scenarios, terrain, and matchup decisions).  As such, I went with a somewhat more traditional list (for a list of dreadnoughts anyway).

Warhammer League – Week 1

This Winter, a friend of mine at The Rogue’s Roost is running a narrative Warhammer league.  I was excited for this league because it set out to be new-person friendly and because we would be creating our own character model over the course of the league.  I was also excited about the prospect of playing some 8th edition Warhammer, as, so far, I like it a bit better than 7th (that’s not to say it’s perfect, but on-the-whole I like it more).

Thanksgiving Apocalypse 2018

This year, the Thanksgiving Apocalypse match was sizable.  Everyone was asked to bring their entire force, which amounted to about 50,000 points per side.  The teams were Uncle Clayton (Tyranids), Oliver (Necrons), and I (Space Wolves and Imperial Knights) against Ian (Chaos), Codi (more Chaos), and Keagan (even more Chaos).  While not everything managed to hit the table, there were a few titans, more than a few big models, and piles upon piles of infantry.

Pictures after the jump. Continue reading Thanksgiving Apocalypse 2018

April Apocalypse 2018

What?  An April Apocalypse?  Yep, after Thanksgiving last year, we decided to go ahead and do an apocalypse game again this spring so that we could do a test run of the 8th edition rules, and make time for Uncle Barry and the Orks to play.  This time around, it was Ian (Custodes), Uncle Clayton (Necrons), and I (Space Wolves and Knights) vs. Cody (Chaos), Keagan (More Chaos), and Uncle Barry (Orks).
