No Retreat Legends Winner, Winters SEO

I know I've been down on 40k lately and venting my frustrations to anyone who will listen ... but Winters winning the No Retreat Legends with a mostly first-born list has renewed my faith in 40k. He played top players - who brought top-tier armies - and won, including victories against Lawrence the Spider, Stephen Box, and Adrian from TT Titans.

David beat Goliath(s) and I've never been happier for someone else to win a few games of 40k! Flat Cap Legion!



Also, big love to SN Battle Reports for staging such an epic event. Well done and I hope to travel to Gibraltar for a No Retreat tournament someday.

Here's his video explaining his army, tactics, and thoughts behind his list.

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models.  The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating.  If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list.  Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
