Hi all,Recently I was able to chat with one of the organizers (Steve) for the Holy Havoc event coming up this weekend in Illinois. What caught my eye about this event was that it is structured as a narrative team event. While life stuff has kept me from attending I wanted to reach out to…

What should GW do with Forge World
It’s Wednesday my dudes, and thus it’s time for a rambling article. I have long been interested in the role the Forge World plays in the GW portfolio. In years past it had a clear role providing high quality miniatures, of dubious in game ability, and spinning high-end campaign stories. Since the re-invention of 40k…
Is any unit ever truly gone?
As with many other players I eagerly applauded the re-release of the Rough Rider models by GW. I was a bit surprised to see them focused on the Attilans (who knows if a more generic kit will also be available). It does get me thinking about several other units and types of units that have…
Narrative (Mini)Review – Cities of Sigmar
Hi all,Today we are looking at the short, White Dwarf Path to Glory rules for the Cities of Sigmar (CoS). I can’t believe these rules have been out so long, has 3rd ed. of Sigmar really been out for over a year? Army Ability and Quest: As this was a fairly early release the CoS…

40k Stoat’s Center – Where Have all the Cheaters Gone?
Hi all,One of the most profound differences in the tournament community discourse in 2021 vs 2022 has been issues of cheating. 2021 was a rather bleak year marred with a number of high-profile scandals. I won’t dredge them up again but it seemed every event had some issue. As Fig. 1 shows this precipitous decline…
Narrative (Mini)Review – Flesh-Eater Courts
Hi all,Today we are looking at the short, White Dwarf Path to Glory rules for the Flesh-eater Courts (FeC). These were released in the June edition. While these rules are more stripped down compared to the battletome releases they pack quite a punch. Army Ability and Quest:The FeC get a unique ability to recruit units…
New GW Strikes Again
Well GW’s response to the Votann crisis just dropped and ….it’s good? One of the things I found so striking about this new release was that it was: funny, clever thoughtful and addressed the issue. While newer players probably expect this it hasn’t always been this way. In part of their video there was a…

Army Specific Rules:True to their chaotic nature, the special rules for the daemons are all about one-upping other gods. Through your campaign you will keep a tracker for the…
