I will start this article by saying that I am a fan of the new Chaos Daemon Codex. While it is still early, it really gives me the type of army that I like, an army with a lot of solid choices. The one sad part about the new codex is the fact that I am going to have to paint a whole lot more models as my troops choices are woefully undermanned at this point in time. While I do not mind painting, it is a wee bit disappointing as I am back to about 1250 points of playable Daemons due to the changes the codex brought. Let me say I like these changes, it will just require me to paint more….this is because… …many of the models I had already purchased an painted do not work as a cohesive “tournament” force anymore. This is because I had planned on going all Tzeentch with a few Nurgle Squads for objective holding. While that army is still a valid and playable army (thank you GW), it is not an army that is designed well enough to withstand tournament play. This is because instead of GIFTS, many of the previous powers are now Psychic Abilities and have a greater chance of being shut down. This loss of reliability coupled with a decrease in durability and hitting power means that I am scrambling to get an army together in a rather shortened time frame

Wouldn’t it be ace if the Primarchs as they are now would play a more defined role in 40k instead of just “hiding in the Eye of Terror” gig. The only Primarch to be seen really since the Heresy was Angron. All the others are hiding, dead, or in stasis. Well I think it’s time to open the door and let these characters in and go down the path of “what if” the Primarchs come out to play! First on the list is the cool bad guy; Fulgrim. But before moving onto creating Fulgrim it is best to look at the existing rules for the only Primarch in 40k; Angron. Angron is: WS: 10

Last year, I received exactly zero hobby related Christmas presents ( unless you count the camera that I gave to my wife ).

If you’re a westerner then it’s a matter of cultural heritage. Regardless of your personal stance on matters of faith and religion this is a time of giving and generosity. A time set aside to feel good despite the bitter cold outside the window. Or, if the southern hemisphere’s your home, to break out the BBQ for some Christmas burgers! No matter what you’re doing, we’re all doing it to celebrate and commemorate the gifts given by wise men and shepherds to the family of Jesus.
