It always rains in Nuln

Some time ago I've decided to share a bunch of fan-made materials for WFRP. Now it's time for my 40K RPG's resource collection. I've played a couple of FFG's role-playing games, set in the grim darkness of the far future. Despite a rocky start (a shitty player was its cause), from the perspective of time I consider them good games. Sure they have a number of flaws, but all in all they're very decent titles and work well in introducing others to the universe of Warhammer 40,00. Not to mention that the Dark Heresy is a perfect way of showing people that the galaxy of 40K is more than just "only war". It's also about looking fabulous, even in a heavy rain! But I digress. Even tough the FFG's 40K titles are much younger than WFRP, fans from all around the world still created a lot of quality resources for these games. The now-defunct sites like Dark Reign and Roll for Heresy were a great source of hundreds of various, fan-made files for ...

Straight to the point. Two days ago Relic has shown the whole world the new trailer for Dawn of War 3, along with some gameplay pics. Is it everything that we've hoped for? I like Dawn of War games a lot. Both the first one, more in the spirit of the classic Starcraft series (which never stuck with me for some reason), and its sequel, which took a lot from Company of Heroes, and showed us that smaller scale battles in the universe of 40K can be just as exciting. I've never finished the first DoW titles, an error that I plan to rectify by installing the whole collection on my Steam account and playing it, one after the other. With DoW 2 I've managed to play the first two titles from start to finish, and had a real blast with them, especially with the corruption system in Chaos Rising (Avitus got what he deserved, the racist, Guardsmen hating prick that he was). As for the Retribution, it's installed and ready for my (medicore) RTS skills. Why have I installed all...

Took me some time. As always. Anyway here's the continuation of the Ebenhard VII campaign. The bugs are still in the game, but both the Space Marines and the Inquisition have a few aces in their sleeves. This KT game was played between 3 players. The Imperials had a 250 pts armies, while Nid player had a total of 500, as well as a bigger HQ slot than his opponents. 1. Our Armies: A. Imperial Inquisition (250 pts) - Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (89) WS4 BS 4 S3 T3 W2 I4 A3 Ld10 Sv4+ Carapace Armour, Force Sword, Combi-melta, FG (x1), KG (x1), Psyk-out Grenade (x1), Servo-skulls (x3), Refractor Field Psyker (ML1), Inspiring Presence, Stubborn, Iron Will, Experienced Hunter - Warrior Acolyte Squad (35) WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Sv5+ Flak Armour, Bolter, Flamer, Chainsword - Warrior Acolyte Squad (35) WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Sv5+ Flak Armour, Bolter, Flamer, Chainsword - Veteran Acolyte (13) WS3 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 Sv4+ Carapace Armour, Bolter, Chainsword, ...

We need to talk dear 40K fanbase. We need to talk about your attitude, which lately has been... lacking to say the least. But first a daily reminder that Age of Sigmar a shit. Age of Sig....OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Done. Now back to our scheduled program. I'll cut right to the chase, because I'm not in the mood to pan this one out. For the last couple of days the internet has been full of butthurt, whiny, nasal voiced assholes, complaining about "Mont'ka", the newest campaign addon for the Warhammer 40,000. The second part of the epic Tau vs Imperium campaign had made quite an impact on the 40K community worldwide, and by "impact" I meant "made a lot of Imperium fanboys butthurt like hell". Now before we go any further, I'd just like to point out two things. One: I'm an Imperium player myself. I have 3 armies dedicated to the glorious Emperor, two of which are Space Marines. Second thing: I don't play Tau, altou...

Last weekend I've played my biggest game of WH40K yet, in which two imperial armies clashed against some Nids in a Last Stand scenario. The game took almost 9 hours from start to finish and was packed with pure awesomesauce. We've arranged a Last Stand mission from the "Stronghold Assault" supllement. Blood Ravens and Imperial Guard, each at 1500 pts., fought against the Tyranid Swarm, which was 3000 points strong. The game ended after 5 turns with the Imperials amassing 18-19 points, while the Bugs gathered a total of 11. Anyway: here's the full report with some nice pictures. Also it will be the first of a few linked bat reps, that will compose a narrative campaign of sorts, so stay tuned for more. As an added bonus, the report will be dramatized... a bit. The Great Devourer hungers! 1. Our armies A. Imperial Guard (1500 pts.) HQ: CCS with Mortar, 2 x Sniper Rifles and an Officer of the Fleet. Warlord Trait: Old Grudges (which I...

Before we dive into some ratty goodness of "End Times: Thanquol", let's take a small brake and explore the wonderful world of Kill Team, courtesy of always excellent Heralds of Ruin. This is my third Kill Team game and the second one that I was playing against Tyranids. My friend Chris, who got his baptism by fire while fighting against Orks, was up for the challenge and so we prepared our lists and got to work. The game was played at 250 points, standard for Kill Team. We've rolled for the sabotage scenarion, and Chris decided to attack my well entrenched Guardsemn, who were defending a couple of field-stricken Chimeras. Obviously Chris is new to this game, as not only he was attacking me, but also provided my forces with some homemeade (and totaly awesome!) Aegis Defence Line fortifications, which he made himself! How cool is that? Bitchin! I really need to finally paint it tough... As for our lists there were some changes from the last game. Last ...
