Sigvald's Triumph

Learn2Eel here with a shorter than expected update on Sigvald's progress under the command of Mr Jax. The birthday boy only got one game in with his new army today - though many more are sure to follow - and it came against my nasty Vampire Counts. The odds were stacked in Countess Bathery's favour, her numerous Undead legionnaires and thrall monsters proving to be quite the challenge for Sigvald's small, yet elite, force.

However, disaster struck for the Vampire Countess; her escort of Black Knights were charged and crushed from both sides, leaving her to depart the field after receiving a light cut from Sigvald himself! Sigvald could not bear to see such a beautiful creature stricken and rent, and so the Magnificent Prince merely sliced at her arm, watching in apparent admiration at the black, lifeless blood that spilled forth. Enraged and embarrassed that her legions had failed her, and at the first sight of her own blood in centuries, Countess Bathery fled the field with Sigvald's corrupted warriors frozen by inaction. For indeed, Sigvald had commanded that this gem of the Southern Lands could not be spoiled further, and would cherish the deathly taint that she had left behind. For the ancient Countess of the Lahmian bloodline, her revenge was a plan already in formulation, even as her deathless warriors faded to dust and ash......

MAJOR VICTORY - SIGVALD'S CARNIVAL OF ABERRATIONS

Birthday Wishes - Mr Jax!

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a quick and out of the ordinary little post about one of my favourite guys in the whole wide world, our very own Mr Jax. He's been doing some epic painting, basing and conversion for my Eldar, Tyranid and Crimson Fist armies, but over the past few days - as part of his birthday present from everyone - he's been getting to hard work on his own army; Warriors of Chaos! That's right, as of today, Mr Jax has a sweet new 2000 point army of Warriors of Chaos, and he's really eager to put them through their paces tomorrow. His first opponent is going to be me with my deadly Vampire Counts, led by Countess Bathery of the Lahmian Vampires! But I have an inkling that Sigvald's Carnival of Aberrations are going to prove who the greatest temptresses of all are - Slaanesh, or the blood-line of Neferata! In any case, I wish Mr Jax all the best for a great day, and you can leave your own birthday wishes for him here! I'll be certain to post an update on how the day went for Mr Jax's Sigvald-themed Slaanesh army tomorrow night, so stay tuned for some epic battle reports!

And don't take this to mean Space Marines are getting the could shoulder, by the way! I'm going to see if I can get the first Fast Attack article up in the next few days, now that I know I don't have to "rush" to meet a certain "dead-line" *wink* *wink*. With all that said, I hope you have yourselves a great day and expect to hear from me soon!

Fortunes Change - 40K Fast Attack

Hey guys, I am Learn2Eel and today I am here to kick off a new series of articles discussing units or tactics that have received some hefty reversals in fortune either as a result of 6th Edition or of their new codex. I hope you enjoy this article, and I look forward to seeing your reception of this series-to-be!

Tactica Space Marines - Elites Part Two

Hey there everybody, I am Learn2Eel and today I have some more awesome Space Marines to discuss! The Space Marine Elites are some of the finest warriors in the galaxy, and fighting both with or against them is always an interesting experience. I hope you enjoy this article!

Tactica Space Marines - Elites Part One

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and I am excited to bring you the latest segment of my Space Marines Tactica series! When the battle turns against the forces of a Chapter, they press their most seasoned veterans into the conflict; warriors with few peers among the dozens of factions in the galaxy. I hope you enjoy this article!

Tactica Space Marines - Dedicated Transports

Hey there everyone, I am Learn2Eel and today I'm going to be bringing you some slick rolling tactics. Space Marines have a satisfyingly large number of dedicated transports for use with a wide range of units, giving them a lot of deployment flexibility and options for mobility compared to most other armies. All but one of these can be taken across most of the force organization chart, allowing you to build entire forces of one or more variants of transport. They are universally cheap and great value for delivering your mostly medium-ranged infantry straight into the thick of battle. I hope you find this an entertaining article!

Vampire Counts - Resurrection Unit Analysis

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a continuation of my newly resurrected (ha!) Vampire Counts Tactica series! Today, I'm going to be focusing on arguably the most important aspect of an Undead army in Warhammer Fantasy; raising your fallen warriors back into the chilly grip of undeath. I hope you find this an enjoyable article!

Tactica Space Marines - Scouts

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, and best of all, I don't need to split the article up into two or more pieces! 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 Badab War Character Impressions - Part Two

Hey guys, I am Learn2Eel and I am one happy (war)gamer! Today, in continuation from my first Badab War Character Impressions article, I would like to discuss the other recently updated Badab War characters. There have been so many characters updated in the FAQ, which is why there was a delay on this article - not to mention some lingering issues! Suffice it to say, as a gamer that loves all things Warhammer 40000 and adores testing out combos from every army, this really is an awesome - and free! - update that will surely lead to an influx of these characters used in both competitive and non-competitive games. With that said, I hope you enjoy this article!

Sorry Guys!

I really need to learn not to make promises! There's so much going on at the moment that I've found it difficult to do any writing at all. I just can't justify putting out "rushed articles" just to make up the numbers; it has to be at an acceptable standard or I won't publish it. With that in mind, I'll stop with the guarantees. I don't like saying it, but I guess it is very much a case of me needing to take my time. I'm sorry about all that, as I know it is hardly optimal, but I have some major issues writing these articles when I'm under pressure elsewhere. This is just to both let you guys know that all is well and good, and that I'm sorry. The Badab War article *should* be up in the next few days, with a Space Marine Scouts article to follow shortly after. Again, sorry if this is in any way an inconvenience to you wonderful, awesome fans! Thanks again, and sorry again! I'll just stop writing now, because otherwise I'll keep going in an endless circle of "thanks, sorry"!

Forge World Badab War Characters Impressions - Part One

Hey guys, I am Learn2Eel and I am one happy (war)gamer! Today, in continuation from my Forge World Chapter Tactics article, I would like to discuss the recently updated Badab War characters. There have been so many characters updated in the FAQ, which is why there was a delay on this article and not the Chapter Tactics article. Suffice it to say, as a gamer that loves all things Warhammer 40000 and adores testing out combos from every army, this really is an awesome - and free! - update that will surely lead to an influx of these characters used in both competitive and non-competitive games. With that said, I hope you enjoy this article! I should have the Scout Squad Tactica up within three or four days. Progress is slow on all fronts at the moment due to lingering health issues. Hopefully it won't be long before you start seeing an article every two days from us again!
