Prepare your mostly machine body for another installment of Proxy Wars! This week we buck the trend of blindly following people’s interests to take a look at the least popular faction in the Star Wars: Legion tournament scene, the Separatists.

Proxy Wars – A Konflikt Far Far Away (Part II of IV)
Time for another installment of Proxy Wars, where I try to convince you to play a new game with models you already have. Last week we looked at using your Imperial miniatures to play Konflikt ‘47. This week we are going to give them some opponents using a Rebel Alliance force.
40K Philosophy Year in Review
I want to start this recap properly with a big “Thank you!” to everyone who read, discussed, and shared these articles.
40K Philosophy: Reconciliation
While understanding that Warhammer is designed to defy or spite the idea of sound living principles, resolution, and progress (unless that progress is also subverted for the sake of some larger moral compromise), Warhammer fiction is at its best when it challenges its fundamental premises.

Practical Philosophy: Does Cheating Make You a Bad Person?
This is the system we have created to protect the ethical integrity of competitive play in the ITC and to not apply it when a player has violated the rules discredits the entire system.
Loken’s Loss of Innocence
What do we mean by innocence when talking about Garviel Loken? It is hard to imagine a decades-old galaxy-wide bio-engineered super-soldier having innocence. Of course, innocence isn’t here as a “guilty vs. innocent” comparison but is instead the lack of knowledge or ignorance that he and many other Astartes operated under.
