40K Stoat’s Center Tackles the End of the World
The end is nigh. For the first time ever the game is unbalanced, GW seems uninterested in intervening to fix anything, the meta is awash in a sea of buggies and flyers, and there are naught but cheaters, grifters or charlatans for opponents. Surely we are in a time when men say openly that “Reece…
Grey Knights Codex – Narrative Review
So it’s been a while since my last narrative review so let’s take a dive into the Grey Knights book and see what it has to offer. The crusade portion of each codex has varied in flavor and power and I wonder what the writers at GW have is store here. As with my other…
It’s Going to Get Worse Before it Gets Better
The competitive landscape is in an interesting place right now. Yesterday we had the second major event with an early concession following a devastating first turn. Furthermore, this event doesn’t possess any of the fig leaves that others used to write off the London GT results. The player who lost went first, is a very…

The Art of Conceding
One of the more controversial topics in the competitive 40k landscape is about whether or not conceding a game early is a sign of poor sportsmanship. On the one hand, Warhammer 40k is a game and as such is supposed to be fun. If you cease having fun, why should you be compelled to keep…
Warhammer+ Review: One Month In
Hi All,Like many people I was curious to see what the implementation of Warhammer + would mean for the hobby. Now, one month after the service went live I think it’s a fair time to review what is on offer and how Games Workshop’s first foray into streaming. Overall ExperienceTo be completely honest the lack…
Thousand Sons Codex – Narrative Review
Hello All,As I have done previously, let’s take a dive into the new Thousands Sons book with a specific eye towards the new Crusade rules. The Ork codex was quite well crafted, though some of the mechanics felt incomplete, let’s see how this book compares. Army RulesWhere the Orks had the interesting and complex contest…
