Hey, y’all, Voices back with yet another BT article. This time--and in recognition of the advancing age of a lot of the hardback rulebooks for BattleTech--we’re not doing a review; we’re doing an overview. And our hard target lock is on BT’s BRB of BRBs: BattleTech Total Warfare. The book is a good 300+ page hardcover in full color, hard-wearing and well-done. Just picking it up, you’re struck by the cover art of BT artist extraordinaire Franz Vohwinkel of a new-style...

Tyranids for WarGamesCon

noreply@blogger.com (Black Blow Fly) — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000

So I have decided to bring my brand of Tyranids to WGC and there are several reasons for the decision. I will have to finish painting some units such as my Yrmgarl genestealers so I'm really glad I have such a simple paint scheme (black and red for my Hive Fleet Gorgon). The vast majority of my army was painted by Next Level Painting so it's not like it's a big deal. One of the main reasons why I decided to bring my army is based upon my experience - I feel confident, so...

40K Editorial: "Casual" Rulesets and "Fun"

noreply@blogger.com (Bigred) — Thu, 24 May 2012 05:01:00 +0000

Games Workshop says Warhammer 40,000 is a ruleset meant for "casual play" and never designed for tournaments. But does that really make it more fun? An editorial by Mike Brandt Introduction and Caveats I posted this article on my blog, Whiskey & 40k, last week. When Bigred asked me to post it, I figured I would polish it up and incorporate some of my revised views based upon commentary. Overall, the purpose of this article is to share a couple of personal...

WFB: 8th Army Books So Far

noreply@blogger.com (Adam (TheDiceAbide.com)) — Wed, 23 May 2012 19:00:00 +0000

8th edition fantasy received a wide variety of responses when it was released. Many claiming that it destroyed the game, while fewer others (like myself) felt it give a fresh look to the game, which was dominated by 3 armies (sound familiar)? Hey everyone, it's Adam from TheDiceAbide.com, and today I wanted to give my thoughts on the 8th edition army books so far. You may have noticed that I don't often write opinion articles on BoLS, but I really wanted to share how I've been...

Brent: Dust Warfare... the Battle Builder!

noreply@blogger.com (Brent) — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:00:00 +0000

So will Dust Warfare be the game? The game so many of our brothers, sisters, and Unicorns out there want to rise out of the morass of new systems to finally challenge the mighty Games Workshop, struggling for a few years before toppling the Citadel Tower? Nope. But that's the wrong way to look at it - and besides, who'd want all that anyway? For crying out loud, why the GW hate of late? Sure, it's a transition period. Maybe 8th Edition Fantasy wasn't so balanced....
