Codices are coming thick and fast these days. In the space of eight months Games Workshop has managed to update a large portion of their available armies and those armies all badly need an update, well except for Chaos Daemons who got a White Dwarf update, but still this was a short term fix. To remind you here is the releases: October – Chaos Space Marines January – Dark Angels March – Chaos Daemons April – Tau June – Eldar Games Workshop hasn’t released codices as quickly as this. Usually three are released per year and already in 2013 we have four brand spankin’ new books. Is this codex release a good or bad thing? The new codex releases bring older armies up to date and create a more level playing field. This means players of these armies will get new stuff and be able to match the more updated armies. The player is certainly a happy bunny and of course so is Games Workshop when people are splashing the cash on a range which probably doesn’t see as many sales as other ranges. Having all these codices come close together can create some issues; Games Workshop has massively increased the price levels of their product, which to be frank is bordering on silly.

The new flier looks ok from the top but underneath it looks pretty damn weird. Also looks like it has ears. Close combat Wraithblades look ok,

Done these bad boys yesterday. Used Kromlech shoulder pads and heads and then took the normal CSM heavy bolter and removed the barrel and ammo feed. Then added daemon head for the barrel and some electrical cables for details etc. Will be finishing the Vindicator tonight; got to highlight the pink and dry brush the flesh some more.

Dark Eldar are tough bastards to make a no spam army; they need to work together and basically need to hit hard so they don’t get hit back and in order to do that they need to spam poison and lance weapons. Anyway I like a challenge to here goes it. Oh, as previously discussed here's a link to

At the weekend I was cutting up some guitar wire to make some personal touches to my Vindicators or Sonicators as I call them. I was using a pair of sharp scissors to cut through the wire and instead cut my finger.Not only am I a noob for doing this school boy slice and dice error, I am actually an ultra noob as I have cut myself three times! The third I didn’t realise until today when I removed the plaster. I’m like Edward Scissorhands or something! Has anyone else got any hobby injuiries? Spill the beans and share, I don’t want to feel like a total hobby noob on my own!

Ok, what’s the most broken unit in 40k? I am gonna throw my hat into the ring with canoptek wraiths. Wraiths are 35 points a pop and you get a 2 wound s6 i2 jump infantry space marine. They also have 3 attacks base with rending, 3+ invulnerable save and are also fearless. If you want to make them more bad ass then throw on whip coils for 10 points a pop, any model in base contact is now initiative 1. Sure wraiths have weakness from mass small arms fire and instagib, but the 3+ invulnerable save keeps them safe. Consider that a terminator is 40 points. What do you think is the most broken unit in 40k?

Got this converted four armed Daemon Prince for sale. The arms have only been greenstuff’d in place so can be easily removed. Model is almost finished just needs another layer of blue and general tidying up. I am after £15 plus postage.
