Hello everyone and welcome to the latest addition in my Ork Tactica series! I've been longing to cover Painboys and now that I finally got the chance to do so, I haven't been left disappointed at all. Much like Blood Angel Sanguinary Priests, Painboys are inexpensive Independent Characters that provide Feel No Pain to any unit they join, though unlike the Scions of Baal these mad Orks are proper HQ choices and thus cannot be taken in as plentiful numbers outside of Unbound army lists. They are good characters to employ in an army list that wants all the survivability boosts it can get. I hope you enjoy this article!

Ork Tactica - Meks and Big Meks
Greetings fellow members of the Waaagh! and welcome to my latest Ork Tactica article, featuring the zany but always lovable Meks and Big Meks. These two are similar enough that I decided to review them in the same spot to save both time and space, while both are great choices to include in an Ork army - though obviously a Big Mek is probably the only one you would want if you decide to run without vehicles. I hope you enjoy this article!

Orks Tactica - Weirdboy
Greetings my fellow war-gamers and welcome to my latest entry in the Ork Tactica series! I am pleased to highlight one of the most hilarious Ork characters ever conceived, the Weirdboy, a cheap psyker option that, while limited in terms of psychic powers to choose from, provides some very impressive augmentative abilities to his or her fellow Ork Boyz'. I hope you find this article to be useful to your endeavours to smash some heads and lead an awesome Waaagh!

Greetings fellow war-gamers and welcome to the long-awaited introduction to my new Ork Tactica series! This has been a long time in the making and I must apologize profusely for the incredible delay between the codex's release date and the start of this new range of articles - you can blame those poncy 'umies for that! I couldn't be more excited to speak about 7th Edition's first fully fledged codex, featuring Lords of War and Formations unlike any of its 6th Edition predecessors. I hope you enjoy this series and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the latest Ork Waaagh! terrorizing your local gaming area!

End Times Characters and Units Rules Review II
The End
Times started off with a bang a few months ago, featuring the cataclysmic return of Nagash,
Valten, Neferata, Crom the Conqueror and numerous other heroes of legend, as
well as the deaths of famous characters beyond count. Now, they continue with
End Times: Glottkin, named for the hulking northmen trio supremely blessed by
Grandfather Nurgle and featuring an updated and combined army list aptly named
the Legions of Chaos, featuring the hordes of Beastmen, Daemons of Chaos and
Warriors of Chaos unified under the will of Archaeon. While this book focuses
more on a vanguard force of Archaeon's world-burning force, this is nonetheless
a gift for all scions of the Dark Gods; the rules for Chaos Ascendant, Legions
of Chaos and the return of Marks of Chaos for Beastmen gives Chaos players more
tools to use in their games than ever before. In this review, I have chosen to
cover not just the newly introduced characters and units favoured by Nurgle,
but also all the many special rules and potential combinations that End Times: Glottkin
offers for the servants of Chaos. I hope you enjoy it! Scratch that - Blood for
the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Due to excessive length I have chosen to cover the characters and units in a separate article.

Alien: Isolation - Review
Greetings my fellow gamers, friends and family; I welcome you all to my latest video game review, and what a convenient entry given the very spooky holiday that has just gone past. With Halloween just recently gracing our lives, there is no better time than now to publish my review of Creative Assembly's latest high budget exodus from their signature Total War series, Alien: Isolation. While previous efforts such as Viking: Battle for Asgard and Stormrise were either entirely forgettable or downright awful, Alien: Isolation breaks new ground for Creative Assembly and proves that the Total War series is not their only high quality outlet. As their first true attempt at a modern survival horror game, Alien: Isolation ranks as among the genre's best and stands strong even without its' faithful devotion to the source material. While my love of the original Alien - a true masterpiece even despite my general dislike of horror movies - might cloud my judgement in the case of Isolation, I feel it is definitely one of the highest quality games released this year and is a strong competitor for my game of the year vote.
