Rate My Army: Kriegs

My buddy Matt sent me an email asking me to post his current list for reader consideration. Constructive criticism, please.

"hey, is there a good place you could post my army list for critique?  I am curious what people's opinion is.....other than a lack of scoring units.  I feel that I am somewhat compensating for that by not really needing them for anything other than holding objectives, and they can do that last minute via the drills deep strike."

Twin-Linked Assault Cannon...

 Pictured above: The Land Raider Crusader upgrade sprue

I plan to field 4-5 Razorback transports in my Blood Angel army and I want the option to equip each of them with twin-linked assault cannons (TL AC). Imagine my chagrin upon learning that the TL ACs are not included in the Razorback kit.

Storm Wardens for Doctors Without Boarders

A number of wargamers and artists have decided to collaborate on a 40K project-give away to raise money for the charity, "Doctors Without Boarders". Each of the participants are building and painting an army to include in the give away, while Biscuit from Minions of the Monster Master is providing artwork. Each of the participants have a link to donate on their relative webpage or blog site. For every contribution made, a person's name is entered into the raffle- grand prize being a Storm Warden's army!

This is a pretty cool idea and I can't wait to see how much money this project earns for DWB! Head on over to MotMM and check it out!


GAMESTORM!



Minions Of The Monster Master Podcast featured a guy from my neck of the woods, Eli  of, "I See Lead People" fame. Eli speaks about Gamestorm 12 and highlights from that convention. Gamestorm is a TWENTY FOUR hour gaming convention- any game you can imagine!

New Players FAQ Part 1


I'm relatively new to this hobby: Rediscovering Warhammer 40K last year, after a twenty year hiatus. I was always drawn to the 40K side of the Warhammer universe due to the Space Marines and their fanatical worship of their ancestral Man-God, The Emperor. These monastic, super-steroid warriors trace their walk across the stars through countless battles and wars with all those who oppose the God Emperor. These warriors are divided into a thousand chapters as diverse as the players who enjoy this hobby.
I have been slowly amassing and building one such chapter, the Blood Angels Space Marines, inspired heavily by a very enthusiastic wargamer that goes by the handle, Jawaballs. Recently, many of my friends have jumped (or fallen) into this hobby as well. So, I wanted to compile a FAQ for my friends and people interested in Warhammer 40K (and table top war gaming in general) that have little to no prior experience with the hobby.
