Introduction
In this article, I will explain how I approach playing Deathwing army, both on the table and in list building. Deathwing sounds like a very one note army (just spam terminators) but there are actually a lot of way to play it. There are lists built around Deathwing Assault, footslogging with all storm shields, mechanized in Land Raiders, and many variations in between. For my part, I use a mix of the styles. However, that will come just a bit later.
First of all, ...by Published on 25th September 2011 14:52Categories:
The key to any good army, Orks or otherwise, is making sure everything in the list flows together just right. There are a lot of lists that just throw a bunch of stuff together to see what sticks, and while I can appreciate the trial and error involved there will eventually make a good Warboss out of any weedy git, there are a few common Ork army builds that any player should be aware of.

Located on pages 82-85 of Codex: Orks are the three most common ...by Published on 24th August 2011 22:06Categories:
Madboyz were once a part of the Ork army. Way back in Rogue Trader, they had a series of rules designed to show how unpredictable they were on the field of battle.
I have taken the time to translate the rules as closely as I can to the 5th edition of Warhammer 40,000 so that you can attempt to use the Madboyz as a unique, crazy unit or perhaps a special retinue for a Weirdboy.
The sheer amount of rules involved with these guys is absolutely massive, which is presumably why ...by Published on 23rd August 2011 19:28Categories:
'Space Marine' is Games Workshop and Warhammer 40k's latest venture into the PC and Console gaming world, developed by THQ. The Demo has been released today for download, and equally today I was invited to play test the game at an exclusive event in London. The game is available on PS3, Xbox 360 and on the PC - just for the sake of those who are interested; the version we played was a near-full version of the game, on the Xbox 360 console.
The game is a 3rd Person Action/Shooter, ...by Published on 24th July 2011 14:43Categories:
Sternguard – a “how to”
What are Sternguard?
Sternguard are Veteran Space Marines. They have the same stat-line as any other Veteran Marine, with a higher Leadership, 2 Attacks and the standard Marine numbers across the board. Clad in Power Armour and kitted out with Frag & Krak grenades, they’re able to take a lot of incoming fire power and still survive. But Sternguard are no ordinary Veteran Marines, they do things differently. ...by Published on 19th July 2011 17:24Categories:
I’ll start with showing a cluster of completed bases so you can see some examples of what can be done. Of course your imagination is the limit, but these show a few styles I typically create. These bases do not take very long to complete, as the drying time of the paint is the longest process, and they can be done in batches just like doing an entire squad of Marines a the same time.
This tutorial is going to show two examples of base styles. One will be a “Lava” base ...by Published on 16th July 2011 17:34Categories:
This is version 2 of my Deathwing Tactica. The intended aim of this version is to make it a lot more presentable and easier to understand then the first.
You know, I’ve looked at many Deathwing articles over the last 2 years. And there’s one thing they don’t seem to touch on. Is Deathwing a good army to play, either for first timers or for veterans? With this article I hope to give you a genuine answer. I myself am sort of in the middle. I’m not old enough to be ...
