Nova Bound: Tyranid List Building - 1,850 Points

As I've alluded to in my previous Nova Bound posts, I've been bouncing all over the place in what I want to bring. Part of this is because I haven't really played many games at this scale and tend to get most of my gaming in at 1,000 points. A forewarning, this post is a veritible wall of text and quite long. Reader beware.

Nova Bound: Second Update

I took most of last week off, from blogging, work, and hobbying, for my anniversary. And then we got a puppy.

Nova-Bound: First Update

I didn't spend quite as much time at the painting table this past weekend as I would have liked, but I got a good solid session in on Sunday, working on 17 Termagants.

Converting the Tau XV8 Crisis Battle Suit, Part 3 - The Finished Product

Welcome back to the third and final part of FTGT's Crisis Battlesuit conversion series.  I've thoroughly enjoyed this process and hope you all have as well.  If you missed part 1 or 2 you can find them here:

Part 2

Above is where we last left off.  The overall dimensions were in place, now for some refining.

Farsight Enclaves Codex Supplement Review

Well, it's here, the second supplement Codex release of 6th Edition, this time the Tau get some love. 

Painting Table: Swooping Hawks and Fire Dragons

After some waffling on my part last weekend, I decided to paint some Eldar. I'd continued my organizing binge, getting an old army box full of bits all cut out and organized. Some of these included about 1,000 points of Necrons and I was tempted to work on painting the mostly assembled Warriors. After some admonishment to stick with the Eldar from Ron and Chandler (before I decided to go to NOVA with my bugs), I got down to work.

Bat Rep: 1,500 point 3-Way Battle

For our Saturday big game, we decided to play a 1,500 point, three way battle, using the rules we'd debated primarily in this post. Evan ran Guardian-heavy Eldar, Ron had his Tau, and Chandler ran a fun Space Wolf list he came up with day of.


For this Bat Rep, we're going to try something different and each of us will write up the events of our turn, along with before and after action thoughts.
