Crazy models for today: night goblin fanatics
Saturday, May 17th, 2014[WFB] Steam tank – scratchbuilt
Friday, May 16th, 2014First model in my Empire army is Steam Tank, which I have made out of paper and matchsticks. Not only did it save me some money, but also gave me a lot of fun building it. If you want to learn more about steam tank, please visit excellent Lexicanum article detailing various kinds of imperial steam tanks.
I have started design process on paper from designing both upper and lower deck. They both were cut out using cutting mat and sharp hobby knife.

Imperial Armour vol. 3 second edition: a review
Tuesday, May 13th, 2014Volume 3: The Taros Campaign is a landmark of Imperial Armour series for it was the very book which established current IA book format consisting of both campaign fluff and detailed unit profiles (earlier 4 IA books were focused on descriptions of units only, not events).
This book was released almost immediately after recent Tau Empire codex and contains all (barring few super heavies updated in IA Apoc) the rules for Forgeworld Tau Empire units as well as full army list for Elysian drop regiment.

Tournament scene in Poland and recent additions to the 6th edition
Monday, May 12th, 2014This is translation of an article which was originally published in Polish Podsumowanie wpływu ostatnich zmian 6 edycji na rzeczywistosc turniejową w Polsce.
Some of my international readers (only about 30% of this blog’s readers are from Poland) may be interested in how Polish tournament scene have accepted recent additions to 40k 6th edition.
I have recently browsed Polish 40k league forums and checked rulesets for tournaments in various places. Since March (release of Imperial Knight codex) there were 38 tournaments in our country.
On 7 of them Escalation rules were used and on 11 IK codex was allowed. In most cases Destroyer Weapons were homeruled as S:10 with some additions (armourbane, instant death, ignores cover, but nothing consistent).
I don’t know if it’s good that SH vehicles are becoming common on tournaments, but this unequal approach of some Tournament Organizers (where Imperial Knights are OK but Lords of War are not) appears to be a bit irrational.

7th edition reactions: unbelieving and fear?
Monday, May 12th, 2014Of rumors on upcoming 7th edition, most widely discussed are:
- Unbound army-lists
- Demonology (no one knows how it is supposed to work but it is assumed that it allows to summon greater daemon at psykers will)
- Magic Phase (in principle just like in WHFB)
- Reinventing allies chart
- Inclusion of Escalation rules in core rulebook (Lords of War)

Empire is awesome
Sunday, May 11th, 2014Top 10 reasons why I have started collecting the Empire in Warhammer (and not any new faction of Empire in Warhammer 40k)
- Sigmar is most powerful warhammer character ever. He united tribes of men, personally slaughtered thousands of orks and his empire stands undefeated 25 centuries later.
- He also didn’t allow Horus Heresy like his 40k counterpart.

[PL] Podsumowanie wpływu ostatnich zmian 6 edycji na rzeczywistosc turniejową w Polsce
Saturday, May 10th, 2014This article is in Polish only.
Podsumowanie ostatnich ewolucji 6 edycji i ich wpływu na rzeczywistość turniejową:
Przejrzałem ostatnie tematy na forum ligowym. I jestem zaskoczony poziomem zadomowienia się w naszej mecie turniejowej ostatnich nowości GW.
Od marca (publikacja kodeksu IK) odbyło się w naszym kraju 38 turniejow zgłoszonych do ligi.
na 7 wykorzystano zasady Escalation a na 11 dopuszczono kodeks Imperial Knights. (w większosci przypadków redukując Destroyer Weapon do S:10 z jakimiś special rulami, za każdym razem innymi).
Nie wiem czy sie cieszyć z zadomowienia się SH vehicles na turniejach, ale wiem że selektywne podejście niektórych organizatorów (imperial knights tak, escalation nie) jest niekonsekwentne i nieracjonalne.

Primaris Lightning Interceptor w/ ground attack option
Saturday, May 3rd, 2014One of the greatest interceptor fighters used by Legiones Astartes during Great Crusade and Horus Heresy was Primaris Lightning. It was a fast maneuverable aircraft capable of delivering overwhelming firepower. While it wasn’t extremely durable, it was piloted by skillful space marine legionaries capable of extreme evasive maneuvers. After those events Lightning jetplanes were mostly abandoned by Space Marine chapters, and their new pattern (which isn’t performing as well as heresy-era ones) is used almost exclusively by Imperial Navy
Biker Marines – tactica
Friday, May 2nd, 2014As I have mentioned earlier, I am going to repost all the articles, I have originally written in Polish, this time translated. While it was written in early January, it isn’t yet outdated although it’s worth mentioning that new Tyranids (due to spam of vector striking FMCs) and Astra Militarum (due to hordes of cheap infantry) are going to be thogh enemies for you.
