Blog Spotlight for 40K – A regular new feature
I’m going to start a feature that will showcase and review a hobby related blog each month (possibly week). I felt like a blog roll was good way of exposing newly created articles from other bloggers but not much else. It also doesn’t get them in front of new people effectively and expose what they really have to offer. So spawned [...]
Yarrick’s 40K Formation, The Young Commissar Yarrick
I’ve recently read my first 40K book, Yarrick: Imperial Creed by David Annandale. I’ve a long way to go in terms of 40K reading and this was a great start for me.

My first article that this board was used for was The Meta. The Board I started out with the Plasticard board [...]

I do like the myths surrounding their existence such as they’re the Emperor’s own secret creation – possibly gone [...]
A Social Week (ish) in 40K

I am not sure which one is more devastating. I have logged my current Twitter and Facebook stats so I can track the great exodus! Perhaps this [...]
The Grimoire of True Names – Entry #176: “Kysan”
This is the start of what will be a short campaign. I wanted to add some back story and make the battles feel like they were linked in some way. For those that don’t know the “The Grimoire of True Names” is a Relic from the Inquisition codex, it contains the “True Names” of Daemons.
