You mad bro? A small talk about being butthurt in the grim darkness of the far future. Rant warning!

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...

Steeming the tide: Astra Militarum and Adeptus Astartes take on the might of the Great Devourer!

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...

Xathrodox86 reviews: "Kryptos" by Graham McNeill

This post was supposed to be about "End Times" Thanquol" but I'm not in the mood to write about the fourth installment in WFB's world-shattering event just yet. "Khaine" kinda seeped me of my strength with its incredible ammounts of shittiness. Instead here's a review of Graham McNeill's "Kryptos", one of my favorite Horus Heresy short stories. In case some of you don't know it yet, Graham McNeill will soon be moving to California to work for Riot Games on their League of Legends franchise. One of Black Library's most popular writers won't be contributing to the Heresy series as much as he used to, but, according to the man himself, he'll still write from time to time. Mainly short stories, but still... That's something I guess. His "Crimson King" is supposedly half finished, which begs the question whether it'll be released in 2015 or at the beginning of 2016. Now I personally can't wait for ...
