Let's Be Friends! - Blood Angels

Hey guys, Corvus here to warn you of a whirlwind week in blogging for me! I owe you guys something in the neighborhood of 3 or 4 weeks worth of Friends articles (all forthcoming this week), as well as a GenCon breakdown. Also this week, I'm hoping to have a space marine rumor dissection in advance of the White Dwarf release.  Likewise, as soon as we have the space marine codex, we will be bringing you our next podcast! So, with those pleasantries and apologies out of the way, I bring you the Blood Angels allies matrix!

Changes in my Eldar Army: Path of the Witch

Greetings Gentlereaders,

Today I was just hoping to talk to you for a bit about what I think will be changing in my Eldar army now that I actually have a copy of the codex.  Also, first post from lovely Arlington, VA.

The heart and soul of my army has been the seer council, which I tried to make work in 5th edition, but it never worked out well when I was playing against Daemonhunting Templar and BA with FNP.  While their witchblades got hit when dealing with vehicles, but the new codex made the unit much more prominent in terms of time and a more variable threat both as a hammer unit and as a support unit.  I can't think of any other unit that both exemplifies an aspect of their army and forces you and the opponent to deal with a unit that changes what type of threat it is after the list building phase.

Into the Black Library - Yarrick: Chains of Golgatha

Well, After finishing my most recent dive into the Black Library in a single sitting, I can come to you now with my thoughts and feelings on one of the few novels that features Commissar Sebastian Yarrick.  He has always been one of my favorites amongst the Imperial Guard, and this read gave me great insight into him as a man, and how he lives with the legend he has created for himself.  And he doesn't disappoint.

Inside Look: The Wraithknight

Hey Folk, And welcome to another Inside Look.  It's a little behind, But having had a chance to put one of these together, I've had a good look at the model, and how it comes to you in the box. 

Three sprues of highly detailed awesome.  I can say there are quite a few pro's to this kit; but as with most anything, it is not without its cons to be sure.   Especially give the increased quality of the recent "big kits" Games Workshop has been producing since 6th dropped.  But there is a reason this kit was chosen as my pick for an inside look.

The FOC and Army Design

Greetings gentlereaders,

How many of you remember playing against Dragowing and Loganwing in fifth edition.  I'm sure if you were the one playing those armies to win tournaments, those were satisfying armies.  For the rest of us, those armies were oppressive to play against.  I know my coauthors have no love for those types of armies, but I would like to propose that the fault, dear readers, is not in our codices, but in our FOC.

Bonus Podcast - Marines

Here it is, the bonus podcast we here at rites have promised to make up for our long absence. Join Godfrey and I as we chat about our favorite topic, Space Marines! We've both written articles detailing the plight of the space marine, but now we have the ability to post an in depth discussion between the two of us about it. If there's any rules or taking points we missed, make sure to hit us up in the comments!
