The single best unit in every Space Marine army is the Infiltrator squad. The ability to block 12-inches (up to 24") of enemy deep strikes prevents untold amount of points from being scored by your opponent. My Infiltrators typically don't leave my deployment zone and just screen my home objective and backfield. Those pesky units that like to pop up within 3" and steal your home objective can't. Infiltrators have become a little pricey and are currently 100 points. Their guns are almost useless because they are heavy, but they come with a free helix gauntlet for a handy feel-no-pain. I bring at least one unit in every battle. #Warhammer40k #spacemarines #astartes #spacemarines40k #infiltrators

The Tale of Four Gamers and @arbitorian have been talking about my favorite historical war from the future, the Badab War.  My army ADD keeps getting the best of me, but I intend on painting more of my Salamander collection in the Badab War camouflage scheme. The TOFGs are starting off with Kill Team, but I'm going for a fill 2K. #tofg #tofgbadab #Warhammer40k #spacemarines #astartes #salamanders40k #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #roguetrader #badabwar

At the end of September, my buddy Kyle made and I made a quick trip to Wichita, Kansas for the Flying Monkey Warhammer 40k Grand Tournament. I brought my Space Wolves "wolf jail" list and Kyle brought his Custodes. The tourney was held in a massive hall in an even more massive convention center. It was fairly nice and the tables were mostly spread out enough to move around and not bump butts with the chap at the table behind you. There weren't any support tables for your gear but it was much nicer than the LVO end-to-end layout. Day one didn't go well for me... I was thumped hard by a World Eaters player. We only made it through the top of turn 3 in the 2.5 hours and talked out the rest of my turn 3. I hadn't had many problems reaching turn 5 in my games before so I'm not sure who or what was eating the clock. Round 2 I played solid Templars army but I could not make a 4+ save when it counted. It was a big loss for me.  My third game was against an Ultramarine...
