Codex Inquisition - Everything you have been told is true - it's pretty crap.

Sad to say.

I was so excited about the prospect of even the tiniest new tweaks and art - and if the previous Inquisitor Codexes or the Inquisitor rule book were any indicator we were in for some real gems.

Nothing new, some very mediocre art, bad editing... What a missed opportunity. Going to see if I can get a refund.

Sons of Mars

Fabricator Captain Siimon has received reinforcements from Mars as Rhisienne prepares for war and destiny!



“Praetorians are the absolute elite of  Skitarii (the official term for Mechanicus military forces), augmented with a sophisticated array of bionics and powered suits of armour. The Centurions are heavy battle suit originally built for the Astartes fire support roles, but modified versions were created for the Skitarii and have become the hammer of many Praetorian missions”


“The Legio Cybernetica is a treasured facet of the Mechanicum. Since the great Crusade it has played its role among the noblest Astartes Legion. The Cyclops are incredibly destructive and mission specific robotic shells housing advanced machine-spirits. Cybernetica tech-priests engineer organic-synthetic minds from biological components to work as the neural system of these automatons. Cyclops form the Alfa strike component of the Imperial Minerals’ fighting arm”

First 6th edition game - quick note: it was a blast!

It was an absolute blast and very educational. It took us 4 hours to get to midway turn three and we had to leave the game deliciously in balance. Pete was a great host and a brilliant guide to the changes in 6th ed.

And I wasn't getting tabled!

Many reasons to be happy. Finding good guys to play with, with great armies and total understanding of the spirit of the game. My army was a ton of fun to play with and I got some nice tweaking ahead and new units to make. Very much looking forward to more!

Should have some random pics for you later.
