Review: Crusade of Fire

In the closing months of 2012 a campaign book titled ‘crusade of fire’ was released by games workshop for its warhammer 40k game. At first glance it’s not too dissimilar to the book ‘blood in the badlands’ that was released late in 2011. It revolves around the use of the currently selling planetary empires campaign set that you can buy from them. But let’s have a deeper look into the book, without cynically suggesting that it’s just a way to raise sales on a rather specialist item.

Lighting strike... Eldar/Dark eldar vs Bike Marines 1500

This is my last battle of 40k in 2012, and as such it felt right that I keep on using my evolving list, to see how it handles at the end of the year. As of 2013 I'm planning of getting a real kick start on my renegade guard so I might not have as much time for the eldar as I would like. But we shall see. Anyway back on topic, it’s a 1500 point game of the emperors will, with vanguard strike deployment.

Merry Christmas to you all

I would just love to wish you all a merry christmas. This year has been a good one and i'm amazed how many people have viewed,commented and followed this little blog of mine. Thank you all.

List Evolution III: The next level

So once again its time to look at my Eldar list and see what i can do to improve it. This list went 0-2 against Space marines and chaos space marines. Not a great record, but doesn't have anything that can be salvaged?

Ripper Bolgrot WIP

I have started work on Ripper Bolgrot and would like to share with you what i have done already. As i was unsure how to paint the troll straight away i got a 40mm round base that i had spare knocked up for him first.

As you can see from the base i decided to put a rather unfortunate player on his base. I wanted it to have the impression he died in a game long ago and instead of bothering to take him off the pitch, he has over time been trampled into the ground and even painted over. What do you think of the result?

As for Ripper himself, i have started with a gray skin and dark blue scales, both washed with a blue wash. This way i hope it all ties together. Next i will dry brush some lighter colours on him and see what happens. The only thing i am still unsure about is what colours to paint his armor. Do i give him his own unique set as after all he is a star player? or do i give him the same as my Orc team (to be fair, they aren't exactly painted atm). So what do you guys think? what colours should i paint his Armour/protective gear?
