WAAGH! Drillteef

I am now officially a KR Multicase customer for life. You might recall that last year at about this time I had a great experience with KR. The delivery person put my order in the garage and my wife backed over it with the truck. I mentioned it in passing to KR and they replaced the boxes even though the incident was no fault of their own. Also, at Adepticon, they were very attentive, approachable, and kind. Amazing service from people who really care about their customers. This year I hemmed and hawed over my decisions as far as what foam to get. I loved KR's service, but I needed a full-height Heldrake foam. With KR, that meant a full $60+ purhcase since, no matter what foam you get, that's the price of a single regular card case full of "custom" foam. On another site, it would have only cost me $35 for a custom tray of the same size. I also am not a fan of pluck and I would have had to do a few pluck foam trays for some of my models. In the end, I decided...

Before the new Bloodthirster came out, I'd started working on my Tuska Daemon Prince. With the new Bloodthirster model, I wanted to make sure his footprint was proper, so I created a new base for him and a bigger bosspole.

When Tuska went into the Eye of Terror, he brought many Weirdboyz with him to protect the Ork fleet and find their way. Even after their possession by the Blood Prince, the Orks' inherent connection to the Warp cannot be pacified.

One of the great things about adopting the ITC is that you're free to use whatever mission format you want. Our group has been working with the ITC since its inception and we enjoy the exposition and camaraderie. With this in mind, I'd like to discuss mission design for smaller events. Of course, you can always just use the most popular tournament format in your area. The ITC and the People's Missions are both very popular right now, but a burgeoning scene may need to come to a slow boil before jumping into one of these formats and sometimes something unique and fun can emerge from that process. Clarity Clarity  isn't just important for new players. Complicated missions might be fun for narrative or casual play, but in a competitive environment they are unwelcome. I've heard some folks question whether it is worth catering to the lowest common denominator, bemoaning the "dumbing down" of the game. Aside from the unwarranted negative connotations th...

Previously on the Raid on Pakeshi IV: After successfully claiming the world of Shatara, Mad Dok Drillteef has sent a splinter force to raid the world of Pakeshi IV. The local PDF failed to completely repel the Ork invasion, but they have been assisted by the fortunate presence of some  Blood Ravens Space Marines. The system’s Imperial Commander, Celia Falkes and her subordinates still have no idea what either the Orks or the Space Marines are doing on her world. Pakeshi IV is little more than a huge chemical reclamation facility supporting the gas giant mining operations throughout the system. The Blood Ravens are commanded by a young Librarian by the name of Djalix T’sorg. ~ * ~ His state of being had evolved beyond simple annoyance. Codicer T’sorg and his men had been fighting Orks for days. The city they defended lay at the center of a sprawling chemical reclamation facility. The Orks had breached the initial physical defense provided by the surrounding chemical lakes a...
