Mixing up the Space Wolves

I have a basement game scheduled tonight against Tau4ever and his blood angels, and I thought I’d try something a bit different than the standard list I usually run.  My typical lists are usually built around a Hammer Thunder Wolf Calvary unit that is supported by assault cannon razorbacks, with a few long fangs thrown into the mix.  My list tonight is a mix of things that are lying around on my shelves and while not super competitive I think it can hold its own in most games.

I know I’ll be playing Blood Angels and this list is lacking the firepower needed to deal with stormravens and multiple dreads Tau4Ever usually brings to the table, but I think people who tailor their lists to their opponent are the lowest of the low.

Blood Angel Dice From B&C Forums

custom diceI got a PM from Evicerator letting me know about a group purchase going on over at the Bolter and Chainsword forums.  I bought custom Sisters of Battle dice from Chessex before and found them to be great quality dice and absolutely worth the money.

Basically, they are putting together a group purchase on the dice, and the more people who purchase the lower the price will be.  They have over 1,400 dice ordered and are eligible for their maximum discount  of 60% off.  This ends up working out to be $0.39 per die, which is a great deal.

Details can be found here.

To Defend the Earth a Review

Owning a kindle exposes a weakness I have when it comes to 99 cent books, seriously it costs less than a coke at the gas station for a full fledged book. So when  Author William Stroock advertised his book To Defend the Earth last week on our site I snagged one and promptly got to work reading it.   You might be thinking a book review why?  If you surf the blogosphere at all without a addblocker running you cant help but run into his adds.  And anyone who supports not only MI40k but the larger community as well, deserves some face time.

The book is reminiscent of World War Z as each chapter is its own self contained story that is a larger part of the whole story.  I find myself of two minds on this type of book, on one hand I like seeing the events in the book from multiple perspectives but I find character development is lacking because so little time is spent with them.

I’ll start with the stories I enjoyed.  Arawat Kill Box, Kim is Ill, and Rising Again were quick interesting battle scenes.  Arawat Kill box is a guard player’s paradise following a massive tank battle through multiple engagements.  Rising Again I liked due to the nostalgia of a Japanese commander running a Carrier Battle in the Pacific.  Kim is Ill has a couple surprises that are too much fun to spoil in a review.

Model Makeover – BA Librarian Dreadnought

posted by tau4eva

When I first started my Blood Angels army, I converted an Ironclad dreadnought into a Furioso Librarian Dreadnought.  After the release of the plastic Blood Angels dreadnought kit, I wanted to update the look using some of the official Librarian bits I had leftover from the Furioso I built .

First, I delicately removed the old sarcophagus and the old converted psychic hood. Everything came apart fairly easily. I then used my hobby saw to cut off the lower army holding the Force weapon. The new arm needed to be converted from a right to left.

Pictures after the break… Read More…
