So...it seems we're all doing this...

It speaks volumes as to the sheer influence 40k has had over the years that it seems we have all been compelled to come out of retirement to comment on the (admittedly scant) information thus far presented on the burgeoning edition.

A Pathetic Amount of Pitiful Apathy

Well, we've all seen the video by now, we know that GW have FINALLY revealed to the world what everyone with internet access and the ability to read already knew, 6th Edition comes out this summer. They've pulled a little bit of a fast one, moving the date a week forward from the projected date, but given how long it takes them to get into gear I think this was more misdirection on their part to those providing us with rumours than actually plan-changing, the whole VI thing is the kind of thing they thrive on - 'subtle' hints and 'hilarious' "didn't you notice this in this WD photo 3 months back lololol" comments.

The upshot is, of course, that we get the game at the end of this month, and the fact that I have less than a full month of 5e left to enjoy makes it INCREDIBLY difficult to really give all that much of a fuck about the last ever 5th Edition tournament I'll get to play in, on no less than the 23rd/24th of this month.  That's right, Advance Order day will have the blogosphere all abuzz while I'm off playing games of what has suddenly become a stagnant and unthrilling system.

I Love Fluff.

I do.  Did any of you know that the first ever Index Astartes was Ultra- Marines in WD97, released January 1988? I doubt it. :p

Eldar Codex Project: Fire Dragons

So,

I have defeated the beast that was my UCAS form and am fully focusing on the efforts of the ole ECP. However, I am concurrently helping out at a livery stables and a large vet surgery, so this'll only be a short post before I go off and brush some more horses flanks of mud and straw before I go off and see a piggy with a headcold...

I have had a request from someone to push ahead with one or two of the 'necessary' units to play with in the current mechdar army list. (Hopefully, if people actually use this then they won't be such an auto-choose...)

Fire Dragons it was.

You Can't Look Away, It's Like A Carcrash - Fuzzbuket's GK 'FAQ'

Hello everyone,

This is the start of a new series that I'm writing with respect to other terribad fandexes or 'fixes' that I've found across the internet that I thought deserved a bit more attention (or mockery) than they'd been getting on their hosts.

Sisters...

Got dicked.

Really?

GW, you fucked up big time, I mean, c'mon.

Grey Knights and Inquisition.... never the twain to meet?

One of the things that has interested me since the announcement of the new GK codex are the scenario's that are now playing out in my mind for my own established Inquisitorial Army.

I have not read the new dex as yet, admittedly, but with a push toward now full GK armies, it interests me to see what role Inquisitors and the rest of the Inquisition will now play in both competitive and casual play.

From my own limited thoughts so far the following strike me.

Sternguard Ordo Xenos to the rescue! Saving fluffy animals since 1999!

Holy Shit...

So, BA and Nid FAQs are FINALLY up! Hoorah!  Well done GW!

And, holy fucking shit batman.  Are they good, or are they awesome?

Firstly - one word answers.  Suck it up, dickbags, no shitty tedious fluff explanations for you.  Want to know how the rules work? Read a proper FAQ.  Want to read nonsense spewed by some pompous twat trying to make himself sound cool by putting extraneous bollocks in?  Piss off to the INAT.

Secondly - Shadow doesn't affect Eldrad? Holy Orbs of Antioch yeah!  Never getting out in 5e FTW!

Thirdly - No, of course the DoM doesn't affect Transported units spas-anus.

Fourth - Confirmation of multiple Nid CCWs being usable together makes me weep with irritated joy.  Now, I have to convert my TyranOrks.  :(

Fifth - As I type this, I still haven't checked out the BA one, so I'll post prematurely (lol) and edit in stuff and link.  BRB ZOMG BBQFT FTW ETC...

Sixth - Wow that was fast, huh? (They don't call him Baals out in an alley for nothing!)  Er...Magna-Grapples WORK! Yay!

Seventh - Oh crap.  No upgrades for Furioso Libbies, huh? Methinks they thinks they are a little OP.  Thanks a lot Internet fucktards.  Way to bone originality in Codex writing.  Don't listen Matt Ward!  We still love you, we, the disenfranchised big-spending player base so reviled by Jervis.  Maybe someone should remind him the first GT was his idea, wasn't it?  Sigh.

Eight - Corby can't help you go first.  Pity, makes him a lot less useful (ubiquitous? lol)  but still he's not terribad.

Nine - what the hell kind of idiots thought you could combine DoAs to not scatter? :S  If you ever thought this, please punch yourself fiercely in the genitals.

Ten - Despite a great job overall - we still need it spelled out how Smokes work if Scouting and going first.  People are idiots.  lol

Much better than the last shitty PDF I read on the GW site!  :D
