June 16, 2020 02:40COVID-19 has definitely changed how we do things in our everyday lives these days, and Warhammer 40k is certainly no exception to that.

Blood Angels Re-vamped: Blood of Baal
December 14, 2019 03:16This past month saw the release of the latest offering in the Psychic Awakening series, Blood of Baal. This volume includes new rules for Blood Angels and Tyranids,both of which got some pretty good buffs, the Blood Angels really came out on top with this book. So much so, in fact, that it is my opinion that Blood Angels are now a tier one army in competitive 40k.

Space Marines Tactica: You Should be Using Assault Centurions
October 08, 2019 14:07I know what you're probably thinking. Assault Centurions? For Space Marines? Are those even a THING? The answer is yes! Not only do they exist, but most Space Marines armies either will be using them or should be using them. When Space Marines were released back in 6th edition, Centurions were the new hotness and, as with most new model releases, had an immediate impact on the game, which lasted well into 7th edition. In those days, however, crazy deathstars were being built around Devas...

October 04, 2019 15:55Unless you've been living under a rock for the last month or so, you probably know by now that the new Iron Hands Codex Supplement has arrived and boy is it a nasty one.

Let's take a look. How Does it Work? Before we can really deep dive into the question of "how do I beat this army," we must fi...
MathHammer App Review
September 27, 2019 20:05Recently I was contacted by app developer Jacob Noble, to take a look over his new MathHammer app. He was kind enough to give me a free version of the app to review and being more than a little bit of a mathhammer nerd I was more than happy to oblige. So, does this app deliver? Let's take a look. First, off some of you might be wondering, what exactly does the term "Mathhammer" mean anyway? In the world of Warhammer 40k, the term mathhammer is used as a means of understanding how efficien...
