Finally, at long last I can return to my one true love in the Genestealer Cults. I dropped them so hard when 9th Edition was released I will be shocked if my Cult models allow me to place them on a tabletop again, but now with a new GSC book on the horizon we can…

Quick Fixes for Competitive 40k
Another tournament weekend down for 40k, and another week begins where people who didn’t even attend those tournaments (me included) get to tell everyone who will listen what is wrong with competitive 40k. While I am not as doom and gloom as some of the experts on the internet, I do think 40k needs some…
Necron Wraith Rush
This past weekend I took my Necrons out to the Flames of Autumn Major at Tables and Towers, located in Westminster, MD. For my last few events I was running double C’tan along with the all Objective Secured Necron’s Custom Dynasty, but for this event I was really worried about Admech Bombers, Drukhari Bombers, Thousand…
Performing With an Underperforming Codex
As long as the game of 40k has existed there has been the discussion of how how balanced the game actually is. Some will argue the game just needs a little nudge in the right direction, while others will say that the game is broken and can barely be considered a competitive game. The game…
Necron Warlord Traits: Proof of the Codex Creep
Necrons have gotten a bad reputation as the example given to prove Codex creep is real in Warhammer 40k. Each time a new book comes out the rumblings of “Necrons are feeling the effects of being one of the first armies to get a Codex in 9th Edition” begin. While I do not think Games…
The King is Back?
When the Silent King first came out with the Necrons new Codex he was a staple in many army lists. In a meta where only Space Marines and Necrons had 9th Edition books the Silent King’s 450 point price tag seemed expensive, but Necron players got a lot for this heavy points investment. As more…
Command Protocols: Not Great but Not Worthless
When the Necron Codex was first released the idea of Command Protocols seemed like a very innovative way to give out small buffs to your entire army. With some prior planning a savvy Necron player could ensure that these buffs happened during the correct Battle Round giving them a slight boost in melee power, shooting,…
Picking Your Third Secondary as Necrons
I am sure all of us have been in the same situation. You walk up to the table, look at your opponent’s army list, and decide on two Secondaries relatively quickly. Then you spend extra time contrasting and comparing a few unappealing choices for your third Secondary. I know I was in this situation during…
Getting Away From the Custom
There is no getting around that Necrons are in the worst spot they have been in since their Codex released at the beginning of 9th Edition. With the release of Codex Necrons and Space Marines each faction looked like they were on a level with each other. Sure, Space Marines had some more layers than…
MCP: A Game You Should Be Playing
While Warhammer 40k has been my main miniatures game of choice sometimes it is nice to have a different game to fall back on if I am looking to take a short break from 40k. Maybe my poor GSC have been tabled for the 10th time, my brain will not allow me to 40k any…
