Last Ride of the Khan

Last ride of the Khan! Much of my White Scars army is not going to be printed in the next Space Marine codex so I took them out for one last ride. This is about half of the bikes and speeders I own, but I thought one more fight would be fun. I took out Angron in turn two, only to have him come back the next turn and kill the rest of my army. These Scouts, Sniper Scouts, Scout Bikers, Bikers, Attack Bikes, Thunder Fire Cannon, Captain on Bike, Librarian, Librarian with Jump Pack have seen many battles and will be really missed.  #warhammercommunity #new40k #Warhammer40k #spacemarines #whitescars #whitescars40k 

Goodbye, old friends.

Today, James Workshop announced that much of the Firstborn Space Marine line will be getting the axe in the upcoming Adpetus Astartes codex. God speed to my beloved White Scars army.

I'm losing models in my Wolves and Sallies too, but my collection is large enough to absorb the losses in those factions.  You rode hard & fast, were difficult to paint, and went through lots of base changes, but you were worth every scar. Man, this really bums me out.

The Warhammer 40,000 Leviathan Tournament Companion version 1.0 was released last week. This handy document provides guidance for organizers on how to best play Warhammer 40k events and tournaments, including rules for terrain layouts, mission selection, and pairings. This useful document is truly a sign that ol’ James Workshop is listening to players and I’m absolutely pleased in its release.   I loved, loved, loved the Warhammer Events team’s organized play rules for 9th. The terrain rules, the handy mission cards, the use of the Best Coast Pairings, etc. allowed for smooth flowing events and I felt the terrain was perhaps the most balanced 40k has ever been. Seriously, the terrain rules were fantastic, and I’ve stopped playing in tournaments that use player placed terrain. My local club almost always uses the GW terrain setup for our friendly games.   One of the elements I enjoyed the most in the 9th edition tournament pack was the precisely placed terrain and measured footprints of

Rogue Trader era Salamanders Terminator

I just finished this terminator in time for 4th edition. I'm about 20 years behind but better late than never!  I should get to those new Leviathan terminators around 2042.
