Generals Corner – Raven Guard Tactics. Part 1- Decapitation Strike Force

I have been playing the Raven Guard since I started playing 30k which was shortly after the release of Betrayal at Calth. The legion specific rules grabbed me straight away as did their reliance on infantry, drop pods, fliers, infiltrators and jump infantry. I have collected about 9000 points of the mighty XIXth legion andContinue reading “Generals Corner – Raven Guard Tactics. Part 1- Decapitation Strike Force”

When the Byzant Dominate was absorbedContinue reading “Dok’s Shop – Militia Land Speeders”

We played a couple of games using some of our new jungle terrain. It blocks line of sight really well and we are working on a lot more pieces to create a really dense board. The jungle pieces mix nicely with the rest of our terrain which is really handy for mixing and matching andContinue reading “Dicing with Death – the Swamps of Voggo”

General’s Corner – Sky Hunter Phalanx

Today I thought I would do a post covering a favourite RoW of mine and one you don’t see very often on the board, the Sky Hunter Phalanx. I run it with my Emperor’s Children and it plays really differently; it has such a unique feel to it and your opponents will struggle to knowContinue reading “General’s Corner – Sky Hunter Phalanx”
