6 Step Design Guide
March 8, 2008
Just a helpful giude I came up with for everyone wanting to make someone nifty but weren’t sure where to start. Felt like the best place to put it. Enjoy.
A lot of people are interested in making their own characters or vehicles or respective rules for them. But what is the best way to do it? The golden rule on 40K is that you play to have fun, so whatever is the most fun is the best way. But remember you play with others so you have to keep them in mind when making up your rules. Here are some helpful steps and things to keep in mind when you begin concocting your unique characters for campaigns, fun play, or just to see what kind of damage you could unleash.
Battlefleet Gothic Fleet Choice… Which Is Right For Me?
December 30, 2007
Concept: Battlefleet Gothic is a simulation of starship battles in the 41st millennium. Many may be familiar with Warhammer 40k, where lumbering armies tear into each other on the surfaces of alien worlds. But take a step back and ask yourself… How did they get there? Battlefleet Gothic (BFG to it’s players) answers that question. Fleets of immense ships clash in deep space or in attempts to land troops on distant planets, each designed around their 40k army’s psychology and technological base. Many folks find an inter-linked campaign comprised of BFG battles in space landing forces that reinforce their 40k troops on the planets below, particularly rewarding.
Guardian Defenders

This unit is the basic bullet-catcher of the eldar army. Thier major goal is to give the enemy something cheap to shoot at. They are great for screening, or just mobbing your foe.
Lets take a look at what you are getting for your 8 points. When compared to an average human, you are getting one more point of leadership and initative.
A Brief Overview of Aeronautica Imperialis
December 30, 2007
Aeronautica Imperialis (AI for short) portrays the vicious, high-speed dance of death that plays itself out above battlefields the length and breadth of the 40K universe. Published by Forgeworld in an excellent hardback rulebook, the game delivers an experience unique amongst the current GW games in that it focuses almost solely on aerial combat. AI operates on the same scale as epic, meaning all the models are much smaller than those used in WH40K. Cast from resin, their small size does not mean they lack detail; quite the opposite in fact. As might be expected, the game rules are quite different from WH40K, focusing more on fluid movement and educated guesswork. All said and done the game looks very interesting, and well worth the money if high-stakes aerial combat is your thing!

Designing a Chapter – a Few Ideas
December 30, 2007
“My chapter is called The Lords of Pawnage and they own. They’re totally hard and mean and even the Grey Knights say they’re the best fighters in the galaxy. And the Emperor himself got off his throne and ordered them to be better than any other chapter, and…”
Sigh. I’ve been playing and painting for a few years now, and whenever I hear something like this, I end up wanting to put my head in my hands. The Space Marines are by far the most popular army in 40k, and are often the one with which players start. It’s always a shame, then, when people do the same tired things when creating a chapter. In this article, I hope to suggest ways of approaching a new chapter, so that you end up with something that’s interesting, unusual and still has the capability to kick backside on the battlefield. I’ve divided the article in two: firstly, the more practical side of thinking up how your army will look and why, and secondly, a (very) rough guide to how to approach writing background.
