A guide to swappable weapons on Eldar vehicles

Since I’ve had a couple of people asking me how I magnetised the weapons on my Falcons and Wave Serpent and what I do for Wraithlords and War Walkers, I thought I’d put together this guide.

There are two methods for creating swappable weapon options for Eldar (and any other race, really) vehicles. Firstly - magnets. I’ve used magnets for my Falcons and Wave Serpent. Secondly, pinning. Pinning does not support the weapon as effectively but works fairly well on my Wraithlords, War Walkers and Guardian Heavy Weapon Platforms. For the Guardian Support Weapon platforms I plan to use a combination of the two.

Designing a Chapter

“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…”

Blending earthtones and creating a mudd effect

In This tutorial I will try to show how I blend the robe of a warcrow miniature in a natural green colour, and also how I make a mudd-effect on the clothes. This is the same technique that has been used on Sir Broderick in the my gallery. I excuse for the difference in the quality and nuances of the pictures - but it is extremely diffucult to create the same light-conditions when taking pictures. I hope you find this tutorial usefull.

Chaos 4th Edition Unit Tactica

As the new codex has just recently been released there seem to be a lot of ideas flying around the forums as to the effectiveness of certain units combinations / unit builds. I figured that it was about time that someone went to the trouble of writing a tactica to help those who are a little bit behind on the new codex or maybe just less tactically enlightened than some of our brethren. Whether you are new to the forces of the ruinous powers or a veteran of hundreds of battles I hope that one and all are able to come away with something new from this article.

DaemonHunters Tactica

Alright, so in an effort to get rid of all these “I’m new to the Daemonhunters, now what should I do?” posts, I’ve attempted to put together a bit of a Tactica. Feel free to add your own views and tactics here – it should be an ever-growing list that (hopefully) gets pinned to the board. Everything here follows GW & LO’s rules on copyrighted information, so I ask that everyone follows that rule on any replies. Disclaimer: This is all based purely on my experiences and opinions with Daemonhunters. If you disagree on a tactic, then say so and give your version, but please don’t tear me apart for it. We all play our own ways, and we all play very different opponents. Let it go at that. On a similar note, I’m a Puritan player, so a lot of my tactics and opinions will be slanted that way. If anyone wants to type up their tactics for Daemonhosts and/or Radical armies, send them my way and I’ll include them here.

Big, Green and Bristly

Hedges are a favourite bit of scenery and terrain in wargames, probably the most popular after the ubiquitous hill and wood. They conjure up pastoral images of fields and meadows to do battle over, and they are easy enough to construct, unlike some other scenery. And they generally have a useful place in the rules, providing cover from shooting, or a defensive position in combat, or even an impediment to guard a flank.

Wraithlords

Wraithlords are the toughest unit that an eldar player has available to them. The fact that they have a toughness value and not an armor value makes them much stronger than any dreadnought.

SM Bike Tactica I: What you need to know about bikers

I have always been a fan of Space Marine Bikes. Fast, tough and powerful. That’s what drew me to the marines in the first place. Needless to say I was astounded to find that the community as a whole considered bikes useless. Now I will concede that in 3rd ed, they were not particularly impressive unless you were a White Scar (Indexus Astares 1). But with the release of 4th edition Space Marine bikers have become not only a force to be reckoned with. In this article we will look at what bikes mean to characters as well as each of the bike types and the traight “Be swift as the wind”.

Sisters of Battle tactica for beginners

“Emperor grant me enough bolter rounds to shoot the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and a targeting system that knows the difference”

OK so we have several, good but somewhat dated SOB tactica, particularly Sister Mels (for those of you that don’t know her, she used to be a moderator around here in the good old days before Codex Witch Hunters). Now codex WH has introduced some changes that do rather change things, coupled with the more ready availability of minis such as Exorcists and immolators without having to do a “Brinks-matt” job to pay Forgeworld. So below is a new tactica for SoB.
