Signals from the Frontline: Every Tuesday and Thursday for your 30 minutes or less tabletop gaming podcast! In this episode, Frankie and I discuss some of the rumors for upcoming Codices, Frankie and the team’s experience at the Alamo Games Workshop RTT and the upcoming Bay Area Open, as well as Frontline Gaming’s Black Friday sale.
Here are the rumors of which I speak: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/410529.page This is all fantastic news to me. As a long time hobbyist, and a lover of the game’s setting, it warms my heart to see that the game designers are going away from the bland, boring current Chaos Codex (albeit effective on the table top: PM/Oblit/Lash still gets it done)….
Here we have the Phalanx against an assault Blood Angels list. This is a really good example of how to play this bad match-up for the Crons. (The points are a bit off on the Crons, but it was a casual game, so we didn’t sweat it). Lists: Necrons HQ Overlord Phaeron, Orb, Shifter, Warscythe,…
This conversion comes to us via Cairns, Australia. This is really a top notch conversion and looks remarkably similar to the art work in the book. We’re on the trail trying to find a step-by-step walk through of how to make this beauty as we want one for our own studio as we’re sure many of you…
Team Zero Comp member, Jason Green has started a new Ork army, and so far it looks pretty awesome. We will have a running blog of Green’s progress as he builds up the force, uses our base coating service, and then his final steps into finishing the army. He custom made the bases using bits from cities…
This turned out to be one of the most fun games I have played in a long time! I just had to preface this with that statement. Anyway, I wanted to try out the studio Necron army we’ve been working on https://frontlinegaming.org/2011/11/17/well-be-back-reviving-an-old-necron-army-part-3/ (and it is for sale, if anyone is interested) and I thought it…
In this episode, we discuss further Necron tactics and insights and realize we may have misjudged Mr. Ward! The book continues to reveal new depths of tactical depth and just plain fun. We also briefly discuss some of the new Chaos rumors.
This is a tutorial for a super easy, fast, relatively cheap conversion of a Necron Canoptek Spider! Here we have our first video tutorial on converting a Canoptek Spider out of a Destroyer body. It’s a simple conversion, that is reasonably affordable, and it looks nice. With the number of Spiders you’ll need to make the Scarab…
Here’s an update! We decided to go with a really restricted pallet, only three base colors (and associated Highlights): Boltgun, Enchanted Blue and Astronomicon Grey. This limited pallet really ties the army together and makes it pop in a big way on the table top. In the pictures you can’t tell due to the angle,…
This is an article I wrote for Blood of Kittens a while back about the mighty Bjorn! My Bjorn Space Wolf list has served me well, winning me several tournaments including: SoCal Smackdown 3, Best General at the SoCal Slaughter in Space, winner of Ard Boyz Round 1 and 2 2011, Winner of Da Grand WAAGH! 2011,…
