Adeptus Astragalactica: December 2007
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2007. CXI kicks butt at Ironbuilder III! Poney took biggest piece count (640, to Gordon's 519 and Cargill's 319), while Gordon took best conversion. Pictures of Headtaker are coming up- he incorporates Rogue Trader Marine Legs, a Skaven Tail, and loads of Marine and Berzerker bits from various eras in GW history. These can be seen a little bigger at my photobucket. Know the rest of the story. /paul.harvey ). In turn 6, Buzzy was still around, having made several armor saves and hav...

Adeptus Astragalactica: July 2008
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The Magic of the Multi-Melta. A commonly fielded unit in my marine army is a multi-melta Devastator unit. I have considered them a fairly effective unit and they have usually performed admirably. They have usually acted in the deterrent role because of their ability punch through armor, so my opponents would typically give them wide berth or present lower armor targets. Friday, July 25, 2008. The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Gunfire…. Hot wire foam cutter. When you’re...

Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The Magic of the Multi-Melta. A commonly fielded unit in my marine army is a multi-melta Devastator unit. I have considered them a fairly effective unit and they have usually performed admirably. They have usually acted in the deterrent role because of their ability punch through armor, so my opponents would typically give them wide berth or present lower armor targets. OTOH, though, if you DO manage to run that MM over close enough to get the "melta bonus", chances are you've a...

Adeptus Astragalactica: January 2008
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. I realized after a few read throughs, that Atredies article. Was not about lazy painting, but about working smarter not harder. When one has nine pointers on how to turn out painted forces they aren’t lazy; they’re economical. The thought occurred to me that many of his pointers were the base for which advanced painting techniques come from, so I thought I would share some tips on improving your painting ability. Painting is all about the art of illusion. If you find a sh...

Adeptus Astragalactica: Tyrus Campaign Finished
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008/07/tyrus-campaign-finished.html
Saturday, July 19, 2008. After many months of manuver and battle, the Tyrus campaign has drawn to a close. Here are the victory points earned by each force as of the end of the 11th week:. Sisters of Battle: 800. As can be seen, the top slot was hotly contested and only narrowly won. Having captured the massive artifact at the center of the Tyus system, Typhus is going to attempt to create a new warp storm so he can claim a kingdom for his own. I'm totally down for an Apocalypse game! I think that the Le...

Adeptus Astragalactica: Oh, you Beast!
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008/08/oh-you-beast.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Oh, you Beast! Having played my first 5th-ed game I came across one really surprising and irritating rule:. Moving within ruins (page 83): "Only certain troops are capable of clambering to the upper levels of ruins. Accordingly, only infantry, jump infantry, jetbikes, monstrous creatures and walkers may move on the upper levels of a ruin - and only if the model can physically be placed there. Other units may only move on the ground level of the ruin.". Hopefully we'll see an F...

Adeptus Astragalactica: April 2008
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Lucius left the Augury chamber in disgust. If the sorcerer was to be believed, his patrol on Shroud was ambushed and destroyed by a loyalist force. Another patrol was getting ready to disembark, but where to send it? The Lord Commander made it clear that he would was not to engage the enemy directly until his force had built up to a size befitting a Lord of Chaos; and Lucius desperately hungered for direct engagement. The loss of materiel due to the...

Adeptus Astragalactica: February 2008
http://adeptusastragalactica.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 15, 2008. Is a bit on how I do these things. It's a little long, so I've linked it, rather than take up the screen here at Adeptus. Ethereal Council, Dalyth Prime. Monday, February 11, 2008. Iron Builder: CXI is there! Today was the third of the Iron Builder tourneys we've been to at the Lair, and it was pretty fun. We hadn't planned things out this time, so our piece count wasn't nearly what it might have been. Better than the crotch-lunge that was originally glued down! I did not do th...
