The Book Whispers

 Ave,

Though it's probably already made it's way into your inbox, but there's a new photo that's been going around the interwebs.   & Here it is. 

While I haven't been down to the Keep to verify this yet, this is supposed to be a photo of the spines of the first two 2012 issues of White Dwarf lined up together.  It could be nothing, but then what fun is rumor mongering without some conjecture and just making things up?  The going rumor is that this shroud of a photo is showing a marine in green armor with a tan robe.  Hmm...  I wonder what that could mean?  Perhaps we could be seeing the first (legion) being the last (codex of fifth edition).  It adds a bit of fun to my life, as I'd love to see more Dark Angels fluff being added.  I hope this just stirs the pot of rumors up more and when we do get an announcement, that no one will believe it.  Have fun speculating!  Till next time.

Man(iple) Up! part 6


Ave,

The time has come for me to acknowledge some well-considered and intelligent criticisms of my example list and adapt the example to accommodate those criticisms and better suit the maniple principles I wrote.  The new list will look significantly different and will use some rare choices, but I believe that this revision may both better suit the principles and reward aggression like my previous example has done for me.

Inside Look: Ghost/Doomsday Ark



Hello everyone.  On today's episode of Dragon Ball... or rather Inside Look, I thought I'd take a look at one of GW's newest kits, the Ghost/Doomsday Ark.  At first glance I was immediately shocked at the level of detail that has gone into the new metal men of the 41st millennium.  Much like the Mandrakes of Dark Eldar, the new Necrons utilize a fairly decent amount of engraved lines and built in details.  This is a great improvement upon the old as it just adds a level of detail that the majority of the hobbyist and players have a hard time achieving.  It seems the sculptors at GW have gone the extra distance to really make this new line shine.

Wanted to stop and say thanks to all of our readers as we pass the 200 mark of Rites of Battle.  We hope to keep bringing you the best we can in interweb shenanigans.

Cheers!

Now & Later



For anyone who’s enjoyed this tasty candy comes today’s delicious article on the latest things to talk about in 40k: Necrons and 6th Edition. Now, I haven’t gotten a look at the leak myself but I’ve kept on a close eye on those rumors I see circulating, and I’ve looked the Necron codex over in great detail (mainly because it’s my first army outside of my beloved Ravens.)

Hobby Table V


Hey guys, and welcome to another edition of Hobby Table.  Once again I have had some fun with my spare time and have come up with another unique scenario for people to enjoy.  Inspired by my Death Korps, and eager to create a fun (if toxic) atmosphere for those beer and pretzel lovers out there.
