Battle Field Of Dreams




A wonderful and daunting task has fallen into my hands. I have found a game store in my little/big town of Naples. No big deal right?...Not so fast, there are complications and I need your help.

Dragoon 6: Tournament Report

A low angle shot, Army in ranks behind.

So I went to a tournament this past weekend. It was just a local community affair, nothing terribly big or fancy. But I always feel that when you are breaking back in, you need to start somewhere, and Adepticon is probably not a wise choice. Thus, there I was at castle games in Colorado Springs, to pit my Imperial Guard against nine others, and compete for smallish prizes for 1st overall, best competitor, and Best Presentation. Here is what I brought:

Power Weapon Week: how to do lightning effects by Duke



Hey everyone, this is the last article for power weapon week!  I hoped that some of you learned how to paint a little differently, if not then oh well.  The way I paint power weapons is somewhat similar to how Immortal does his, but I like to add the "lightning effect," to mine.  Read on and Ill give you a step by step on how I do it.

HOBBY: Painting Power Weapons by Immortal



Hello again, Immortal here with a "how to" article on painting power weapons as part of our "power weapon week" series.

Now, there are dozens of styles and ways to paint your weapons, and each have there merits. I chose to go with a style very similar to those shown in Codex: Grey Knights; a mirrored blue color. The majority of my Blood Angel army is (you guessed it) Red, but a few of my units such as my Sanguinary Guard are not (see my "Death-(From-Above)-Star" article further down LINK. The blue accents the fact that the weapon is powered just by contrasting the red (or bone/white) armor.

Power Sword Week, Hellblades

Hello all Swags here with my contribution to Power Sword week.


I volunteered to show off some of my Bloodletter Hellblades for my part, cuz when it comes to power swords who does it better than the minions of Khorne right.


Its power weapon week!



Not long ago Immortal did a post on his  Death (Star) From Above.  In the comments there was a clamoring for a tutorial on how to do power weapons the way he did it.  Well, I thought it would be a good idea to do a whole week of power weapon posts (we will still do other posts too).  As such, this week each of the writers has written a tutorial on how they do power weapons in their own style. This articles will be:

Immortal: Power weapons with glow effects
Swags: Hellblades
Duke: Power weapons with lightning effects.

I hope you like themed weeks...If so we will do more every so often.  Keep an eye out later today for the first 'power weapon week,' posts.

The Casual-Competitive player

Hey everyone... I wanted to talk about an idea that I have been having for a while.  I know it isn't entirely original, but Id like to go over it anyhow.  Lately I have been referring to some gamers as a "Casual-Competitive," gamer, today I wanted to talk about what that is.

Immortal's "Death-(From-Above)-Star" WIP




Immortal here with a quick WIP that I've been working on for my Blood Angels Descent of Angels list (the truest to form way of playing Sanguinius' own, IMO)... a custom Dante, Sanguinary Guard, custom Librarian, Sanguinary Priest, and a free handed banner. All in all, this is my Blood Angel Death-(from-above)-Star. This is going to be my center-piece army in my Wargames Con 2000 point grand tournament army in Austin, TX July 9th and 10th.
