L2E's WH40K; Basics for a Beginner

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here! 

It's O'Shavah!

I'm here today to discuss starting new armies and how the potential cost and challenge can be mitigated through considered and in-depth study of the main rulebook and the codex pertaining to your chosen army. Obviously, building up a new army and taking to the field of battle poses many challenges - how do I write up an army list, which units should I take, how do I make this unit work, etc, etc? Ultimately, the decisions you make are never going to be easy - understanding a new army requires both patience and tactical application - traits which are not easily acquired, especially for one new to war-gaming. This is where I feel my experience with starting multiple new forces, and in particular the Tyranid swarm, will be a useful tool for any budding war-gamer.

Paint Station Review

The Paint Station+ - Available around Christmas every year.

Hey guys, JT here to talk about the Games Workshop Paint Station and to offer a review for those of you thinking of picking one up from your FLGS or local GW store. I had the luck to receive the PS+ from my wonderful parents as a Christmas gift - they're aware of my love of painting, and are also acutely aware of the lack of space I have in my apartment - my desk being consumed by computer peripherals and work - related stuff. The PS+ is only available around Christmas, and it seems to be a regular thing with GW - annual re-releases of the same product with different colours for the holiday season; in the mean time you can always pick up the plain grey regular Paint Station - which is essentially the same product - minus the cutting mat, palettes and water pots that come with the PS+. For the purposes of this review I will be using the PS+, but will include a point on pricing if you had to purchase all the elements seperately.
