Eldar Tactica - Heavy Support Part II

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! Few amongst the galactic civilisations can truly say their technology is a match for the Craftworlders, with the sheer devastation they are capable of rivaling that even of the dreaded Imperium. When the Eldar turn to their ancient weapons of war, they do so assuredly; the firepower they can bring to an engagement from the Heavy Support slot is truly magnificent. Each of the units on offer specialises in their own form of destruction, guided by Aspect or deathly whispers alike; there is a lot of competition here, and that is only to your benefit. I hope you enjoy this article!

A Quick Update - Eldar Tactica

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a quick note about my Eldar Tactica series. I regret to inform you that I may not be able to complete the article for today/tonight (depending on your time zone) as I have spent much of the day preparing for the oncoming doubles tournament in my local area. Rest assured that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Heavy Support Part II article will be posted within the next twenty four hours. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Vampire Counts - A New Army!

Hey guys, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to tell you about some awesome new models my best buddy JT gifted me! There is love in the air, with the Lahmian Vampires laughing at the pitifully weak minds of mortal souls; some awesome conversions from our helpful LGS manager have really given character to a force that I am trying to familiarize with. I hope you enjoy this article!

Eldar Tactica - Air Fast Attack

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! No recorded species can match the grace and fluidity of the Eldar, and nowhere is this more apparent than in their Fast Attack choices; warriors all, complete with a new Aspect to vie for your attention. Though of debatable use before, the returning cast are very much a far more appealing selection; geared towards dealing with specific threats, the mobility at hand here is simply unmatched in any codex. I hope you enjoy this article!

FISTING

   Hey guys, JT here getting all worked up over my favorite activity - FISTING with my Imperial FISTS; as some of you may know I have a bit of a passion for the Imperial Fists SM chapter - their combination of heavy siege weaponry, stubbornness and outright insanity clinched it for me when choosing a loyalist chapter many eons ago; that and the challenge of painting an entire army of little yellow bastards.

   So I stand upon the precipice, working on my Tau whilst staring longingly at the SM Codex trying to cook up a list for the venerable fists of the Emperor, as well as dreaming of all the pretty conversions I can perform - and seeing as L2E has popped up with the idea of Salamanders, I thought I'd share with you guys my thoughts and idea's for the fists, as well as my theory behind building solid lists.

Salamanders - Sons of Nocturne

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here and I must say that I am one happy gamer right now, what with the Eldar and Tau leaving some strong impressions everywhere. Today, I wanted to look at a chapter bedecked in history, comprised of valiant and compassionate - almost to a fault - warriors that have fought since the eve of the Horus Heresy. I speak of course of the Salamanders, a noble chapter that will never cease their defence of the innocent and weak; heroes that will reluctantly take arms even against other Astartes to preserve those who cannot save themselves. I hope you enjoy this article!

Eldar Tactica - Elites

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! For an army that defines the term, elites are even more of a specialty choice in an army comprised of units designed to perform specific roles almost exclusively. Each of them is based around close range firefights or assaults, but they are typically more durable than your average Eldar forces to compensate. I hope you enjoy this article!

An Update - Learn2Eel

Hey all, just a quick note from our resident eel; I have come down with a virus and I find it really affects my capability to author the Tacticas. With that in mind, my Eldar Elites article will be at least a day late. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Eldar Tactica - Troops

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! The citizens of the Craftworld, as well as that most famous of Aspects, comprise the bulk of the Eldar force; fittingly, the elite nature of the army is conveyed no better that even the most basic soldier has a stat line fitting of a Space Marine. The potential addition of Wraith constructs as the core troopers of the army adds both a lot of flexibility and versatility to army list design, something that can be somewhat lacking in the other 6th Edition codices.

GW vs CHS - A Thorny Topic

   Hey guys, JT here with some commentary on one of the most divisive topics facing our community today; I am talking about the on - going legal battle between Games Workshop and Chapter House Studios, and why this legal battle is kindling such heated debates across the internet; as well as considering the implications of the testimony given by Games Workshop representatives and how the future looks for everyone who works within the industry, whether it be after - market parts manufacturers to blog's, websites, forums and anyone who produces supplementary material for GW products in any capacity.

Eldar Tactica - Generic HQs

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! The generic commanders of the Eldar are, unlike most armies, primarily support focused above all else; even the Avatar, a living demigod of war, benefits your army outside of combat. I hope you enjoy this article!

Eldar Tactica - Army Special Rules and Psychic Powers

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I want to talk about the new and improved Eldar! The ancient warriors remain an incredibly elite, effective and mobile force, but a fragile one, and understanding this will be key to their use. I hope you enjoy this article!


I AM THE GREAT BIG MOUTH!

Megavalhalla, the loathed, nerd by night, hedonist, sullied and an ingenious monster of all games…
Enough narcissism for one day, today I bring you my most precious of all armies… the Tyranids. It all started way back in 2011 (100 years in internet time) when I was looking for something new and fresh, something radically different from the rest, something to test my abilities… then I came across the brand new Trygon kit… and I have never looked back.

MegaV Reviews - "Baneblade" by Guy Haley

Hello there, boys and girls, ladies and gentleman… It is I, Megavalhalla. Today, I will be giving you a review on the new Imperial Guard novel ‘Baneblade’ written by Guy Haley. His only previous writing is an audio book about the Salamanders after the massacre at Istvaan IV… so as you could imagine I was a bit apprehensive about buying it at all, but I thought it would be good to give it a try. Since the Game of Throne series is as long as it is, I thought I would give myself a break from it and go for some metal vs metal action… I love the smell of bleeding, burnt metal in the morning.

Eldar Wraithwing - Revisited

Howdy all, Learn2Eel here, and I'm eager to talk about an army list I've long wanted to do - the Eldar Wraithwing, a force so tough and small that it really defines the term 'elite force'. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on how to use such an army!

Today is a different day, but it is nonetheless a good day to discuss the Wraithwing once more; an army that is growing in popularity by the second, particularly with the new models and rules to support it. If there is anything I have learned from the new Eldar codex so far, it is that themed armies are very much viable competitively; a mark of a truly rewarding and well written book. With that in mind, let us get to it!
Elf ghosts in SPEEESSSH!!


Eldar Codex Initial Impressions

Hey there everyone, my name is Learn2Eel and I am one happy gamer! The release of the new Eldar codex is easily one of my most anticipated, with my love of the models and the background now justified by new rules designed to mesh with the other 6th Edition Warhammer 40000 codices. With that in mind, as a prelude to my full Tactica, I've been rummaging through the book and have some high hopes for this codex. Whether you play competitively or more for fun, I feel Eldar will be a tactically challenging and diverse army that rewards risk and application of their incredible maneuverability above all else. I hope you find this an enjoyable read!
