This weekend was the event entitled "Age of the Emperor: The Great Scouring" run by the Tempus Fugitives. Here's a selection of photos from the event for you viewing pleasure!

Currently the list of projects is:

1. Forlong the Fat - Golden Demon Entry
2. Ogre Maneater - Golden Demon Entry
3. Finish Brass Scorpion and Blood Slaughterers
4. New Army - Possibly some WFB Tzeentch Warriors of Chaos?

All being well, Games Workshop will be holding their annual 40K Doubles tournament in January. There's no confirmation yet, but after a great response in 2010, I am sure they'll be going for it. The rules are normally thus: Two players, each with 750pts. Each must have 1HQ and 1Troops. The remainder of the combined army then has to conform to the standard FOC, but you must take one Elite, one Fast Attack and one Heavy Support before you can take a second selection from any of them. You may of course include more Troops without restriction.

An email from Rhinocaps to BOLS sparked a thought in my mind. I'm building up a World Eaters army at the moment, but never once did I even consider using bikes. Am I right in my ignorance, or am I missing a trick?

Blimey, how much is this being debated...!

The latest info I have is this:

1. Blood Angels
2. Dark Eldar (70% sure)
3. Inquisition!! (30% sure)

Of all the changes that came into 5th edition, the one of the most sweeping ones was the new mission structure. With the Battle Missions book on the horizon, my biggest hope is that there aren't many kill-point missions in it!!

Games of 40K with more than two players, particularly doubles, have seen a surge in popularity in recent months in our local gaming scene. These 2v2 games require you to rethink your normal gaming procedures, before and during the game. If you aren't used to playing doubles, they can create a few situations to test your nerve!

I'm currently taking part in a 40K campaign at Warhammer World. For almost every game in recent months I've been using my World Eaters, so I fancied revisiting one of my older armies. So, cue the resurection of my Radical Daemonhunters.

One unit has stolen all the headlines in the last couple of weeks, the Doom of Malan'tai. Ok, so it's big and scary, and I know it steals all your souls and can get itself up to 10 wounds, but love it or hate it, it's here to stay. You may as well get used to it, and learn to deal with it! Ok, so once the FAQ is out, we'll have some answers to the questions on embarked units and cover saves, but until then, let's see if we can cope him!
