Deep Striking Santa

I just received my Freebooter Deepstriking Santa. It is insane. Look at all this. My Seraphon army is huge now! Even the Knights are magnetized!

Looking forward to finishing the paintjobs on these.

Thanks, Friday!

Fading Sun, Rising Star

Vandyr Starmantle, Autarch of the Lugganath, Dearest Brother, I hope this note is delivered to you in a timely manner and its courier remains unmolested by the bullies in your employ. I cannot imagine that you were as surprised to see me as I you in our recent engagement. Your full armour and Swooping Hawk getup did not fool me. I could sense you behind the mask. Also, your body language was reminiscent of the boy I knew from before the universe collapsed around our people and threatened to swallow us whole. Still, I was surprised to see you. I must admit that when I saw your force of naive puritans arrayed against my own, we were caught off-guard. This is a rare occurrence, I assure you, therefore I am certain our encounter was not by chance. Moreover, many of your number had more than ample opportunity to end the lives of many of our number as they lay wounded and out of reach from aid. They did not -- rather, you and your forces faded back into the sky and the hidden paths f...

How Did it Come to This? 10,000 Points of Painted Orks

Image
One can only make so many milestone posts before people eventually get soul-crushingly bored of them.  However, I'm going to make an exception here because with my Vengeance Batteries, I've reached a total of 10,000 points painted with my Orks.  These points include reasonable upgrades, but not ridiculous add-ons like Kill Kannons for the Battlewagons.  Let's not be silly . Here's a video of the army.  Unlike the one I did for 7,000, this does not include a running commentary of each unit.  I simply cannot find the time to do that.  However, at the end of the post, please find a complete army list. Please try to view in YouTube instead of this embed because I uploaded it at full resolution and it took me forever.  You won't be disappointed! I started playing this game in 2010 when some friends and I suddenly realized that we finally had grown-up jobs and could actually afford it.  I'd always danced around the idea of collecting Or...

Joke Armies - an Editorial

Image
Ponies and Smurfs and Gundams! Oh my! Sometimes someone posts a joke army they've built and painted on the internet and the internet lashes out against it, sometimes quite vociferously. I have a problem with the strong objections to these armies, with caveats. Please note that, throughout this article, I will refer to armies which break the 4th wall and are incongruous to the 40k fluff as "joke armies".  Of course, I do realize many hobbyists who choose to build their armies in this way do not mean them as a joke and take it very seriously, but I need some kind of general term for the article. Shannon's Smurf Drop Pod Army Hobbyist Reasoning The hobbyists who choose this kind of path for their army express four-ish common reasons for doing so, sometimes citing two or three of them simultaneously. Cost:  Cost can be a big driver towards building this kind of army. A lot of the time, it's quite a bit cheaper to use toys to stand in for 40k models.  An ...
