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…

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…
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…

If more terrain is the answer…What is the Question?
One of the most common refrains since the release of 9th edition has been: You need more terrain. This has been emphasized due to the increase killing power visible across the board, and the smaller board sizes making it harder to stay out of range. Indeed, with the release of the Ad-Mech book a lack…
Performing With an Underperforming Codex

Back in the Saddle: Fabricator’s Forge RTT Report
Hello All,Given it had been a while since my last competitive event (May if you can believe it) I decided it was high time to play another tournament. So I headed down to our local club to see the state of the game, and to try my hand at the new GT mission rules. I…
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 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…
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…
