My experiences in real-time virtually-simulated strategium training against the machine spirit confirm this. I've been running a very successful Night Lords battlegroup - Carnage and Desolator class cruisers, and a squadron of Iconoclast destroyers - around the Scarus sector, keeping the Green Kroo...

Making people feel like they're a little kid rushing across the playground is a key goal at Night Parrot Magazine. In a good fun 'reminiscent of innocence' way of course and not a 'reliving all your worst school experiences over and over again' way like the recurring nightmares do. Ironically, the C...

Tau Turn 5 Kakapo: What a reversal, but I still need to do something about the Harvester of Sorrows now that it's starting to get dangerously close to the escape zone. It is at this point that I realise that the Sharon Den Adel is still combat effective with only one Hull Point lost, and could catc...

Chaos Turn 1 Millitant: The scenario guaranteed me first turn against an off-guard fleet, and I was absolutely going to make the very most of it by getting my ships up as close as possible before they started coming under attack. The sooner I could get in close proximity to the Tau ships the sooner...

"Black 4, Black 6, this is Gate Control. Snap to waypoint 8-8-4-0. EM and quantum waveform disruption detected, Daosk." "Confirmed Gate Control, we'll investigate. Tau'va." Kor'vre'T'au Doran'Ko'Shi glanced across his tactical display to double check the waypoint before switchin...

So first: I'm having a horrid day today and those clickbait titles really cheered me up. Thanks, mate. No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed them! I think the coupling of mass points and transport capacity is mostly to keep the scale sensible? Imagine thirty-two Gaunts piling out of a Tervigon's gullet ...

I thought about suggesting that and then remembered Spirited Away. It's actually not too hard to find ridden Asian dragons if you go looking. Here's a Chinese one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_painting_depicting_a_man_riding_a_dragon I'm sure it's not hard at all, but I'm not talking about As...

I'm a little confused about how any of these things are supposed to work, since the bestiary seems to just be a bunch of numbers at the moment, but if you're asking about things to cut from the unit list I have thoughts. The first thing I would cut is actually the War Elephants, since weaponised ele...

I wouldn't worry too much about skew myself. Even the most skewed Mordheim Vampire warband is still nominally Von Carstein and thus still has built-in crippling weaknesses to werewolves, fierce strong independent princesses (especially ones with no living relatives), the flamboyant depraved sire of ...

And while I'm at it, the smallest alleyways are at minimum wide enough for a regiment to advance 5-abreast, though doing so will occupy the width of the alley. The main streets are of course larger still.

The raising of the dead shall surely be a part of my plans but corpses do not simply grow on trees. Is there a graveyard or mausoleum attached to the cathedral? Is it possible to reach it for a ready supply of minions and obstacles, or am I limited to the bodies of those who shall die to our righte...

I t is the year 2519 of the Imperial Calendar, and on this doomed cold night the man the world knows as Christopher Friedricksonn will meet his end. For almost two decades the world of men has called you Christopher Friedricksonn, an eccentric nobleman of the eastern provinces of The Empire. You ha...

Our queen need not illuminate me on the crudeness of men . A lifetime has taught me all there is to know about the savage inhumanity of the male beast, bound in his blood never to rise beyond his basest animal urges for pain and cruelty. Not a thousand years could dull the pain of those memories, no...

Hmmph. Typical pathetic witless thick-headed men . Forever obsessed with the simple base size of things, the crudest measure of worth. You gather them in a room and the only thing they can think to do is compare sizes, as if mere physical size revealed anything of import. Present a man with a pricel...

What? No titan-killer gun? This unit is completely unplayable and clear proof that the game designers hate Eldar who have never been able to catch a break since the Good Old Days woe is us no other game faction is burdened by inferior weapons like this. :lol: But seriously I am impressed and surpris...

These were significantly easier to do - James of the house of Workshop didn't see fit to grace the Orks with quite so many options. I'm especially pleased with the co-axial guns on the Stompa - I've managed to make a set which it's worth firing at either infantry (with the kannon loading frag shell...

The gatling battle cannon feels like a bit much , but it's a five or six hundred point model, it probably should be able to pick up a whole Tactical Squad if it wants to. It is, but there's also not an awful lot else you can do with a battle cannon - it's already an ordnance gun, so the blast optio...

I like the principle behind the Daemon army. I also like that you've included a monster customiser for people who want to bring in their Soul Grinders, Skull Cannons and Hellflayer Chariots or whatever else they own, without explicitly dragging those units back in time. This is something of a commo...

I must say I am bemusedly impressed with the discipline to stick to only the options that are included in the model kit - in the glorious land of "We don't ever plan to actually make a model for this thing, but here are some rules for it if you want to build one yourself" it is all too eas...

Tall Poppies. That's what they called us, almost 20 years ago. It was towards the end of my final year of primary school, which today remains one of the happiest times of my life, and I had been called in with a bunch of other classmates, a lot of whom I was friends with, and a lot of whom in hindsi...

What's a poor ol Greenskin to do when faced with 4 magic users of various levels ? Bash 'em inna head with an axe of course! What kind of a stoopid question is that. It's panzee 'umie stunty talk is what it is. A big club works good too. So does dropping big rocks on 'em. Or spittin 'em on a big st...

Sanctus, Espiritus, Redeem us from our solemn hour Sanctus, Espiritus, Insanity is all around us! A nd from that gaping maw of darkness there roared and seethed a great stinging wind that choked at the lung and burnt the eyes and skin, and NONE could hear themselves within the terror! And the great...

The issues were the scenario victory conditions and the prospect of Heavens magic. I absolutely did not want Mannfred dying to a stray cannonball or laser-targeted lightning bolt if it could be avoided; I absolutely did want Mannfred breaking through the Empire line and escaping . Being in the &quo...

Reposting my own ramblings from the last time this battle report haunted the land. I recall observing before the nuclear server firestorm that I feel like the Zombie Dragon was somewhat mismanaged, it really needed to be rammed down the throat of one of the relatively fragile and psychologically vul...
