6th Edition Workbench Part 2

It's been about 2 weeks since I talked about what I am working on in 6th.  I finished the Nurgle Daemon Prince, Plaguemarines (both squads), and 1 squad of CSM Fallen Dark Angels.  I built Epidemius, a Havoc squad with Heavy Bolters, and a 4 man Terminator squad with Heavy Flamer, combiflamer, combimelta and assorted CC weapons; and primed all of them.  But with the rumors that the new CSM codex is due in just a few weeks I lost interest and started to work on my Necrons which I really want finished by the August tournament at our FLGS.  More after the break.

No More Open Army Lists in 40k!?

Open army lists have been a part of Competitive 40k since 3rd and part of the actual rules in the BRB since 4th.  So I just assumed army lists in 6th were open as well.  Guess what?  They aren't open anymore...  Let the firestorm commence!  More after the break.

My 6th Edition Work Bench

With 6th ed finally here, I may need a Work Bench this big...

6th edition has me more inspired to build, paint, convert, and play with 40k miniatures than anything in memory.  Maybe the SW codex.  Maybe.  I am currently working on many things, first up is I want to do a CSM/Daemon army hybrid and have the whole 1500 points finished by next weekend for our 1500 point learner tournament.  Details about that tournament can be found here on the Dakka forums.  The army has a heavy Nurgle theme to it and I am not sure if it will get done or not, but we'll see.  More after the break on that project and others, including some in progress shots.

Deep Breathes Everybody, it's Going to be OK.

I would like everyone in the gaming community to sit back and take a deep breathe.  No really, a little bit of controlled breathing might go a long way toward a healthier life and developing a good edition of Warhammer 40k.  Too much sky is falling nonsense is out there, at our FLGS, and on places like Dakka, Warseer, the BoLS lounge, and on the gaming blogosphere.  My response to which is: really guys?  The edition is 5 days old.  More after the break.
