Omega Guardians

I have finally settled on a Space Marine Chapter after years of flipping between several.

I liked the idea of creating my own chapter as that gives me much more flexibility regarding the rules and Chapter Tactics that I get to use. I also liked the idea of painting a Codex compliant chapter, but didn’t really want to paint Ultramarines.

One of the drawbacks to creating your own chapter is the iconography. For me, freehand icons are out of the question, and homemade transfers is another rabbit warren that I really didn’t want to go down.

First Founding Gaming club’s first Warhammer 40k tournament of the year is this Saturday (12th May).

Warhammer Conquest: The Magazine

So today I have subscribed to the new Warhammer Conquest magazine.

The magazine is probably not aimed at people like me who have been in the hobby for years, but I’m interested to see what the magazine contains. After all, I’m a sucker for all things Games Workshop.

Kill Team 2018

Games Workshop has just announced a new version of Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team.

My initial reaction to this was my normal “Hell Yeah!”, but on reflection, I’m a little less excited the more I think about it.
