News
- Anime Expo! It’s coming up soon, grab those tickets quickly!
- Las Vegas Open tickets will be up for sale in July. Get ready to buy and when you book your hotel room please do it through our link so we get credit for it. We have to hit a certain number of rooms booked or we get owned.
- Start sending in pics of your army with the list for review if you have them! Also, lately we have been getting a lot of lists. It may just be a spike in submissions, but we will double up for the time being, however reviewing two lists a show is a bit cumbersome, we may have to cut back.
- 40K Battle Builder sent to us by Dave Ankarlo with the Renegade Open GT. Tickets are up for sale for that event now! This is a really cool idea.

- UK Games Day to only have 4,000 tickets this year as opposed to 8,000
- GW may be making an official move to support clubs, which would be cool. Still very vague but we will see if this is true and if so, what that means.

I’m not sold on the Dire Avengers yet, it seems like taking mass
guardians and just humping cover would give you a better scoring unit.
I will put the warlocks in each guardian squad and hope they get
concealment off. I know LD8 sucks buit if I get it off those guys are
super durable behind the Aegis. With divination and BS4 I realy like
them as a way to get some extra Bright Lances in the army. I’m not
sure what I need the War Walkers to do, I think with all the guardians
I have enough anti hordes fire so it might be worth it to get more
Bright Lance shots. The other alternative would be to drop them and
take a Wraithlord with Bright Lances and use him as a soft
counter-assault. Lastly I could drop Eldrad to a bike Farseer and the
War Walkers and take a Wraith Knight, I know Reece likes the Wraith
Knight but it seems to me that I am loosing too much stuff to make
that a good trade.
I allied with the Dark Angels so I can get more skyfire in the army,
for 500pts you can get alot of Hell Drake hate in the army. I could
do almost the same thing with Codex Marine instead and that would give
me access to Null Zone which might be worth it.
Talk to you kids later.
