Tactica Space Marines - Tactical Squads

Hey there everyone, I'm Learn2Eel and today I'm continuing my Codex: Space Marines Tactica! This time, I'm going to be focusing on the Troops choices. These stalwart warriors of the Astartes form the back-bone of all Chapters, giving you a good core of elite units that are amazingly flexible in their design and applications. I hope you enjoy this article!

Forge World Chapter Tactics Impressions

Howdy there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I'm here to talk some more about the awesome Space Marines! Between the recent Space Marines codex and an edition shift, Forge World has had to release a lot of updates to their existing material so that they can function within the context of 6th Edition Warhammer 40000. The most recent of these was the release of not only a Space Marine Characters FAQ, but a Chapter Tactics FAQ - and the latter of which is what I will be focusing on today. I hope you enjoy this article!
Just a bit of a heads up, I've been "hard at work" at my local gaming store, and I'm going all out on the Troops article for Space Marines. One form of it or another should be up two days from now at the absolute latest.

Even in Death do we Serve

Hiya guys, Learn2Eel here with a very quick look at one of our most recently completed models, assembled by me and painted by the talented Mr Jax. This is, of course, the titanic Eldar Wraithknight, one of three that are to be part of my Ulthwe Wraith-themed army list. To add to this completed Wraithknight, Mr Jax has so far completely finished 5 Wraithguard and 1 Wraithlord - he has another 5 Wraithguard, another 1 Wraithlord, another 2 Wraithknights, 2 Spiritseers and 2 Wave Serpents to finish! All credit to this amazing guy who never fails to impress me! I hope you enjoy these photos! I'll try and get a hobby article up in the next few days with detailed descriptions of how Mr Jax painted this fine model.


"Broken"and its Chronic Misuse

Howdy all, Learn2Eel here with some thoughts on the term 'broken' and its application in Warhammer 40000. I've been simmering on these thoughts for several months, particularly in light of the many meta shifts since the introduction of 6th Edition. I hope you enjoy this article!

Dark Elves - Initial Impressions

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a quick look at the "new" kids off the block; the Dark Elves of Naggaroth. I have been anticipating this release for a while due in no small part to the earlier High Elf update, and it is really intriguing to see just how the two forces compare. I hope you enjoy this article!

Updates on Works in Progress

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a quick update on how everything is progressing! This week has been a busy week for me and my family, and with the Dark Elf release, I've had little time to really focus on my ongoing Tacticas. Rest assured, progress is being made, but as I spoke of earlier, it will be slow due to me still struggling with lingering issues after my extended period in medical centres. I'm also trying to move the Vampire Counts and Necron Tacticas over to the new format shown in my Space Marine articles so that if I am having a bit of writers block on one, I can simply move to the other one, but this time I won't force myself. The Heresy articles are coming, but I may wait until after I have completed those three reviews; Betrayal is so extensive and varied in its units and options that it really requires my full attention! Hopefully, there will be a Space Marine article tonight, followed by a subsequent article on either of the three ongoing armies within three days after that. I'm trying to get a more regular and structured time frame to these articles going. I'll let you know how it goes, and thanks again for all the support!

Just thought I would throw in an update to the update, I may actually forsake the Necron and Vampire Counts Tacticas in favour of the Horus Heresy Betrayal (and possibly Massacre) lists....any feedback here would be greatly appreciated!
