Daemon Rules Ahoy!

Howdy all, Learn2Eel here with a first look at the new leaked Daemons rules! I am really excited to discuss these, as it is clearly obvious Chaos Daemons are a much different army - and one that I feel is much more powerful and balanced, too. Now, as the rumours I've found are congested into a massive pile, I have decided to break each unit or section down and analyse them individually with regards to the old codex and what this could mean in the meta. Thanks all, I hope you enjoy!

This compilation comes by way of Bell of Lost Souls courtesy of Hero. Enjoy!

L2E's High Elves Tactica - Lords and Special Rules


Hey guys, Learn2Eel here! I'm back to discuss the mighty High Elves, one of the more difficult armies in Warhammer Fantasy to master, but a very powerful force if used correctly. With outstanding melee units, brutal magic users and effective, cheap war machine hunters, the High Elves are a mobile force that relies on smart play and magic to win the day. As my first Warhammer Fantasy Tactica, I hope this article is both enlightening and entertaining for you!

The first Imperator Guide!

   Hey guys JT here with a very special announcement - until now we have been steadily producing content on the blog and over at BoLS to help everyone in the community with their wargaming; however, we are geared towards helping the beginner's amongst us or those who are interested in really getting to know the game's systems as deeply as possible. To help us achieve that end, and to produce something you guys can take away (literally) from the site - we are producing a comprehensive Starter Guide for Warhammer 40,000 that will be available in PDF format for you to download, print and distribute to your hearts content.

    The guide will be designed to help ease the shock new player's may experience upon first entering the world of tabletop wargaming - and to offer helpful hobby tips, army list design tips as well as every thing else a new player may need to help get them started.
 
   As of now, we have no set - in -stone release date for the guide and we are very much looking forward to getting feedback from the community about what you would like to see put into such a guide. We will be treating the guide as a living document that will be updated by us regularly. If you would like to contribute to the guide, or would like to edit it - let us know in the comment section below or over at the BoLS Lounge.

Creating a Home Brew Chapter - Colour Schemes

I AM QUARTERED!
Hey guys, JT here with the next article in our series covering the creation of a Space Marine army for your games of Warhammer 40,000! Until recently, every single army I had ever created followed a home brew colour scheme - that's a lot of different schemes over the years (I am a hobby butterfly by nature) and over that period I've learnt some tips and tricks to help you create that all - important colour scheme and make it look good. Not all of us like the rigid nature of established chapters, and the home brew indeed does provide the ultimate freedom of expression to the budding Chapter Master.

We are Elite!

  Hey guys, JT here to update on the slight lay-out changes we've implemented as well as the revamped colour scheme to help make the site a lot more visually appealing and easy to navigate - this is part of our constant re - evaluation process that all sites follow; particularly if they're like us and are only a very young site! Either way, we're also proud to announce that we have been incorporated into the +Bell of Lost Souls Alliance Elite blogroll which is remarkable to say the least - and we are extremely thankful for this opportunity to get our name out there and spread our helpful articles to those who need it. We're very happy to be part of the BoLS family and we appreciate the continued support we're receiving from both the community and Bigred; look for us in the lounge and feel free to talk to us!
Feel free to let us know what you think of the new scheme and if you can suggest any improvements. Cheers everyone!
