Guardians of the Blood

I have been thinking for a while as to what army I want to create in the future. My friends voted that I should run Elysians which I do plan on doing some time, maybe once they get updated to 6th ed. I am not yet done with Space Marines. I don't want this force to be a regular army that I can play with every weekend, I want it to be a unique thing that I bring out for campaigns and special fun games like Apocolypse. With that said I have made a rough draft for what I want the heart of my chapter to consist of and here it is.

A Saint's Grace

When I read the first Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus, The Founding, by Dan Abnett I was very pleased by what was in each and every one of those pages. He wrote the action sequences so well that I could really imagine myself in a huge hive city pinned down by the rolling hordes of enemy infantry. Each character was bright and vibrant and really held their own in the story and was not over shadowed by the charisma of other characters. In the second omnibus by Dan Abnett, The Saint, which this post will be about the Tanith First and Only return in a las gun packed volume of action that picks up where the last book left off. (Massive amount of spoilers.)

                                   

For a Limited Time Only...Why?

I really like many of the works that Black Library sells. Of course my favorite types of books are the Space Marine battle novels but there is at least one series of books out there for each person. I get pretty excited when I check out their website to see what new things are being released this month or even this week, however when I see, "Limited Time Special Edition," I want to slap someone.

Power Up

One of my favorite parts of any codex is the SGT upgrade characters, these individual guys make units much more dynamic and colorful. The story behind most of these guys is pretty awesome and I have to fight myself to not take them in every list I take. Take this as a tie in with the last post about mini HQs.

1/2 is the New Black

I am back a day later than I expected and now have to get back in the swing of things. I hope you all had a nice and restful Easter. Today I am going to talk about Games Workshop's fascination with HQ choices that only take up half a slot, so you get two for the price of one. At least as far as the force org chart is concerned.
