WFB ARMYLIST: Jwolf Talks Fantasy Lizardmen?!?
Jwolf here. First, a little walk down memory lane – from my perspective. I started tabletop wargaming back when all that existed was historical miniatures. At the time, most models had to be carefully painted, because only the paint job really ...
40K EDITORIAL: "That\'s it Man, Game Over!"
Jwolf here. You can't throw a stick without an intense discussion on the merits of various units in the new Tyranid book (which I haven't held in my hands yet, curse the luck). My basic thought is that Tyranids are going to move from a shooting army ...
40K TACTICS: IC Freakshow
Lots of Special Characters get play all the time – you can hardly walk across a tournament floor without tripping over Eldrad and Vulkan, for instance. This round I’m going to talk about some of those Special Characters that seem to have been lef...
40K TACTICS: The Reserved Enemy
Jwolf here. One of the exciting things about Fifth Edition is Reserves being part of the basic mission rules, allowing Reserves in every game. And with TLOS, most of the board is available to be shot all game long. The conjunction of these two means...
40K EDITORIAL: Which Transport for the Word Bearers?
Jwolf here. Aventine and others are starting the process of bringing the Horus Heresy campaign book up to 5th Edition and the current Codices. I’m building a new Heresy-era Word Bearers force to play in the campaign, and thinking of which transport...

40K EDITORIAL: So You Have an Army - Now What? (Part I)
Well, since it’s the holiday season, I’m going to try something really depressing – codifying some tactical decisions in a generic and useful way. Yes, I understand that making generalizations about tactical decisions means that everything I sa...
HOLIDAYS: Beating Macy\'s to the Punch...
Hi all, Jwolf here. I normally talk about playing 40K here, but tonight I want to shamelessly plug a few of our vendors from BoLSCon and their incredible products. Before you get all weird about me talking about things you can spend money on, think a...
40K EDITORIAL: Uncle Joe Wants You.
Hi all, Jwolf here. This week I’d like to talk a little about the current state of our local metagame, because it interests me (might as well admit it). The armies I play evolve to better survive the local environment – I don’t play on the Inte...
40K TACTICS: Know When to Reserve It
One of the big differences in Fifth Edition is every mission allows Reserves. I use Reserves almost every game for various reasons. The most obvious use is preserving Troop choices to enter later in the game and grab objectives after the heavy hittin...
