Public Service Announcement (September 2017)

Image
I know what you're thinking, this month has been a little sparse compared to what I promised and, unfortunately, my activity will be less than I would like over the next month or so. "Pffft. I could have guessed this would happen!" You can be quiet! I have a good and exciting reason; I'm moving house. Anyone who has had to go through this rigmarole will know exactly how awkward this can be, so I do hope you can bear with me. So, where am I moving you ask? I have bought a nice pyramid-top apartment on the outskirts of Tizca, Prospero, overlooking the great library. It's absolutely stunning. The view from my new place I have no doubt I will spend many peaceful millennia here. #loljk #stupidspacewolves #whoeveninvitedthecustodesanyway? I will get posts up as and when I can but, as I said, please bear with me.  - Tom (XVth) Of course Tom hasn't actually moved to Prospero. He lives around Hull, UK and if you happen...

As was to be expected the Custodes terminator look suitably imposing in their golden armour. Custodes Aquillon Terminators - because they weren't tough enough already That wasn't the only imposing release we saw for the Custodes. There was a fantastic way of showing just how nervous their new Orion Assault Dropship should make you feel. Simply put it next to a Thunderhawk Gunship Yep. That would do it. ...

Rules Round Up: Legion Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank

Image
It's that time of the week again where we get to see what we have been blessed with. Personally, I don't think we should be disappointed. Today we see the release of a new Sicaran class tank: the Arcus. In case you haven't caught the rules yet they can be found here: Horus Heresy - Legion Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank 40k - Relic Sicaran Arcus Strike Tank The Sicaran Arcus looking truly splendid in a Blood Angels colour scheme Let's take a look at the rules. Just a heads up - I'm only going to be commenting on the 30k rules. This will be the general rule moving forward when it comes to discussing models that go across 30k and 40k. The classic Sicaran stats and options we all know and love, with some fun warheads too So we have the standard armour, ballistic skill, and hull points we'd expect to see, but what really sets this apart from the other tanks we've seen in the 30k universe is the choice of warheads paired with the Ripple Fire specia...
