40k Warzone Presents: The Star Wars: Armada Battle of Endor Scenario

So even though Wave 1 hasn't been released yet, and Wave 2 is still some time away, Crazy and I have been assembling an Endor scenario for when we inevitably have more Armada than sense.

There's too many of them! - X-Wings vs TIE Fighters in Star Wars: Armada

The humble fighter craft in Armada are a key part of any admiral's offensive, and defensive, capabilities. Only a madman would roll out onto the field without their support.....

Star Wars: Armada

Tell me you have heard of this game? You better have, because it's damn good.

X-Wing: Wave VI Locked and Loaded!

So, Wave 6 for X-Wing has finally arrived and it is quite the game changer!

While Scum and Villainy ships themselves haven't been making any top tables, an upgrade card or two have had an absolutely massive impact on the way players craft their squads.

Join the Rebellion! (Or Don't, Y'know Cos They Suck)

So last time we explored what it will what it will be like to wield the ultimate power of the Imperial Navy, bringing powerful but slow ships into battle and winning through sheer crippling force. However Armada is shaping up to be as diverse as it is magical (cue fanboyism), and below are a couple of ship builds that I think could cause some serious problems for even the most experienced of Imperial tacticians.

Red Squadron at our Store Championship

Saturday's X-Wing Store Championship was an absolute blast! We maxed out at 40 players (we can only fit that many at the moment) to make it a full on competitive event..... too bad I did so rubbish!

40k Conquest: Just built a Chaos deck.

40k Conquest has been a huge hit around here, and we are all looking forward to the warpacks! I’ve been playing Eldar/Dark Eldar the majority of the time, but have recently switched the Chaos. Here is why.

The Hobbit: need a new combat character.

WOW, time warp to the extreme. It’s been over two weeks since I last got a post up! Anyway, back in action. Let’s talk The Hobbit.

Speedwing - The fast way to play X-Wing.

Alright, so you may have read a few months back that we had the idea to create a short and fast version of X-Wing for single night play. Well here is how it went!

Dealing with The End Times

GW dropping their latest FAQ for fantasy has led to a rapid change in the gaming scene. Being able to now take up to 50% lord and 50% heroes means that there are now some seriously hilarious combos available. However, was it the right move?

The Hobbit team tournament this weekend!

This weekend the boys and I are teaming up at Sydney's first Team The Hobbit tournament. Here is the breakdown:

X-Wing Rebel Aces - Keyen Farlander is the man!

Rebel Aces was released last week, and what a set it is.

FIrst look at Dark Eldar, round 3!

Round three!

First look at the DE codex, round 2.

Alright my next round of thoughts:

First look at the Dark Eldar Codex.

So, it's not the end of the world! As with most codex releases, there is a HUGE blow out of it "being rubbish" before we even get the book. Well, while we have lost a lot of cool things, the book isn't half bad.

Talking about the Dark Eldar release #1

Wow, what a week it has been with Dark Eldar news! I’ve been away on holidays for the past two weeks (hence the silence), but I am back in action as of today. Let’s talk Dark Eldar again....

Wracks and Dark Eldar Leaks

Hells yeah! The Covens are back in style. Obviously we can all tell that little work has gone into the Wracks.....but they didn't really need an update anyway. 

How to Play 40k Conquest - Video

ALRIGHT, well this is what we really have been waiting for.....a proper video explaining how this game plays:

We are still a few weeks out from this, but most of us are pretty psyched!

X-Wing Tournament Report

What a weekend! TommyH and I attended a 100 point X-Wing tournament down here in Sydney. It was a great day with 15 players in total (that is great for X-Wing). Here was what I took:

The Hobbit: My list for next week.

Alright, so it's been a few months since we have had some Hobbit action! Well, for once we are the ones attending, rather than hosting a LOTR tournament. It's four games with an escalating format. You start out with 300 points, and increase in 450 point increments. Here is my base list:
