Facing the Grey Tide Podcast - Episode 34: Julio is in the House

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, Ron, Bryan, and Chandler are joined by Julio as they run down his recent success (aka 1st Place) at the Butchers of Bakersfield ITC Tournament.  Julio comes in with a very stout ITC list and we talk about the list, the opponents, and some of the crazy things that happen during the tournament.  Julio also describes how the ITC tournament scoring works, how the missions were setup, and what he is planning for the greatness of the LVO.

Julio represents the NWO and gives us a little help when facing the ITC.

Malifaux Starter Set Review and Painted

A few months back I picked up the Malifaux Starter box, with the intention of using it as a nice way to introduce the game to friends. I've since assembled and painted the eight models that come with it, and run through the introduction missions with Chris and Chandler.

2015 In Review and 2016 Resolutions

Happy New Year! In the lull around holidays, and awaiting the imminent arrival of my first child, I thought I would review the last year and revisit my Hobby Resolutions from the past year, and outline some new ones or updates for 2016.

This fall, the Black Library announced a new mini-series of books in the 40k Universe's history; the Beast Arises, a 12-part series set two millenia after the Horus Heresy.

With the first book having been out a month, and the next impending, let's dive into a review of Book 1, I Am Slaughter. As with my Horus Heresy reviews (which I haven't done in ages), SPOILER ALERT.

Review: Gamemat.eu G-Mats

In recent posts, you may or may not have noticed some new gaming mats appearing on our tables. I recently acquired three G-Mats from Gamemat.eu, and after having played a few games on them, wanted to write up a review.

List Building: Tyranid Monster Mash

As you may have noticed, we're on a bit of a "casual" gaming kick of late. As such, I put together a Nid list I think would be a lot of fun to run and also motivate me to paint up some monstrous creatures who have been sitting around waiting for attention.

Bat Rep: Twilight Fight - 1,500 Points - Blood Angels vs. Space Wolves

A couple weekends ago, Chandler and I got in our casual "Twilight Fight, Team Jacob vs. Team Edward" Game. Chandler brought some hard punching Space Wolves to counter my hodgepodge Flesh Tearers posing as Blood Angels. We set up the board to show off a bit our new G-Mat from Gamemat.eu, which inspired the narrative element of our game as well.
