Today we are looking at the new Astra Militarum crusade rules. How will they stack up to some other new armies?

Script Doctor – Fixing the End Times’ Story
Whatever you think of Age of Sigmar as a game, I think we can all agree the fluff surrounding the end times was a complete disaster. From inconsistent character motivations and actions to story lines being introduced in one book only to be dropped in the next, it’s a big mess. As someone who encourages…

Narrative (Mini) Review – Beasts of Chaos
While I don’t play much AoS these days, I have “herd” that the Beast of Chaos (Boc) are a rather broken army right now. And, (maybe because I don’t play I am kinda glad for them) this long neglected faction deserves something nice every now and then! Anyway today we are looking at their Path…
The New Guard are the Next Big Challenge to the Meta
Even as a guard player, I have to admit it’s a bit of a good thing the Guard don’t get new codexes more often. The reason for this is that every time they get a codex the guard tend to break the meta. There are several reasons for this: With these historical strengths, it has…
