Ulthuan

It should be noted that this is still a work in progress, very early version of the game, so hopefully that sort of thing will be fixed as they continue working on the project.

Speaking for myself, I'm withholding any views on 9th edition until I see some solid information rather than rumours, however reliable they may be. I would like to say that I enjoyed four out of the five End Times books immensely (Glottkin was serviceable but lacked the sweeping feel of the rest of ...

A small spoiler, I suppose, but Egrimm van Horstmann dies in an attempt to bind the Wind of Fire to himself. Despite binding a number of souls to himself, it goes about as well as you'd expect and the Magister is burnt to a crisp. And Alith Anar is definitely mentioned during the storyline in Loren....

While it may not be as exciting as the campaign book itself, my copy of the Black Library novel that goes with the Nagash storyline arrived today. If people would like, I can go through it and see what if any elf spoilers can be extracted from between its covers? I know I saw scenes with Tyrion, Imr...

You may find that Malifaux models look odd by comparison - they are taller than GW models and considerably skinnier, or at least their new plastics are. Personally, I also find them incredibly fiddly to assemble. You may already be aware of this, but I'd definitely either find a comparison shot onli...

I might be interested in joining in if you need more members/players and nobody objects.

Many thanks, Milliardo. Skin is still something I struggle with but I'm quite pleased with how he turned out. Anyway, some more pictures for anyone still reading. It only took me a month to update this time, though I suspect I will be posting more pictures twice in the next couple of weeks. Hopefull...

Ok, so much for good intentions regarding regular updates. In my defence, real life happened and I have actually got more painting done. I just wasn't able to take pictures of some models and won't be able to until mid-May. I'll try my best to remember to take some then. However, I do have one updat...

Merry Christmas to everyone on Ulthuan and a happy New Year!

"All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow." - The Book of Lorgar Welcome, traveller, to my humble attempt at a painting log! This is the first time that I have done anything of the sort, as is evidenced by the number of attempts I’ve made at s...

If it sells, then GW will almost certainly do more like it. That said, I was under the impression that this was a new addition to the timeline rather than an expansion of pre-existing background material. It appears to be set in the present of the Warhammer World, given that this is Volkmar as oppos...

As promised, here (with any luck) is a picture of some of my Dark Eldar warriors. I hope it's of interest. The armour is Ultramarine Blue (Army Painter spray) washed with Drakenhof Nightshade. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc207/Veherzak/Warhammer/Dark%20Eldar/705276cf-3a1b-4ddf-b391-15e09f75b2...

For my Dark Eldar, I used Army Painter's Ultramarine Blue spray as a basecoat and then washed it with Drakenhof Nightshade - however I am trying to paint them as the Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue, one of the canon Kabals. If I can, I'll upload a picture later if that'd be helpful,though I cannot clai...

No, but I am very curious about it and probably would if I could find people who did play it.

Any more detailed comments about the rules?

Not everyone has ready access to army books - my nearest GW store takes me a good hour to get to all told, costs me a bus fare and takes up most of a morning/afternoon. Unless I have another reason to make the trip, which I don't very often, I just cannot justify going there when I can buy anything ...

Well, given the price of the army books now, not everyone can afford to buy all of them and not everyone has friends to borrow it from.

Personally, I hold the view that Chaos is going to win. It doesn’t matter what the other races try or plot, it is inevitable – that is how I like to view the background. That said, I am not arguing that what I stated above is going to happen, even if the technology changes occur. There are definite ...

This brings up the second pillar - technology. Skaven have some, albeit not known for it's reliability or potential for mass-manufacture, and there's the chaos dwarves and some minor stuff in Chaos itself now, but the real advancement seems to be happening among the dwarves and the Empire, and in g...

In addition to the above on the greek propeganda it should be noted that it was'nt armies as we understand it today, there was no really regimented battles and the notion of the close knit greek phalanx where soldiers stand shoulder to shoulder is pretty much a myth which only bad historians (Like ...

Even Ragnarök is not going to be final end of the world. Most Aesir will die, but not all. It is renewal as much as the end. Like most mythoi known to man (probably can't have it any other way). :mrgreen: True - 'only' the vast bulk of the Aesir and all but two humans die, but it is still the end o...

An alternative comparison might be made with Ragnarok, the final battle prophesied in the Norse sagas and clearly mimicked at least in 40K books with the Rhana Dandra - the final battle of the Eldar against Chaos. The point being that, in all of the sagas, Odin at least knows that the Aesir are doom...

Briefly - no, there are new versions of both. The game is currently on its 6th edition - for the rules, you have the choice of the main rulebook (£45), the rules-only hardback that GW recently released (£30) or the paperback from the Dark Vengeance set which you could probably find via eBay or some ...

Personally, I tend to view it as a case of "I against my brother, my brothers and I against my cousins, then my cousins and I against strangers" where they certainly do not get along but they still prefer each other to the rest of the races of the forty-first millennium. There is an entry ...

The rumour mill certainly seems to be of the opinion that the Eldar Codex is next in line now, which would make it due for release at the end of the month. I hope it's true - it would be nice to add some Eldar Battle Brothers to my Dark Eldar force...

One thing to consider is that fliers are relatively predictable - they can only turn 90 degrees and otherwise have to move in a straight line and so on and so forth. Given this and the relative speed of a bike army, you should be able to dodge around those paths to a reasonable degree. The exception...

I would probably increase that Reaver squad to 6 or 9 models as 3 won't last long, and give them Heat Lances rather than Blasters. If you can get them into melta range (9") of enemy tanks, Heat Lances are vicious and much more potent than Blasters. I would also consider giving the Scourges eith...

I would strongly advise that you reconsider that Trueborn set up. While it looks like a lot of anti-tank firepower, the issue is that you cannot move and use those Dark Lances. That means that giving them the transport is a waste - I would suggest giving it to the Incubi instead, give the Archon a P...

Welcome to the dark side of 40k, Selvhan. Dark Eldar are one of my armies, but I would certainly not count myself as an expert so take all this with a pinch of salt too! However, I would strongly suggest that you need more transports. Dark Eldar rely on speed and manoeuvrability, so having the bulk ...

Given the lack of such limits in recent books, I would be very surprised to see any of the High Elf elite infantry made 0-1. See the comments Jervis Johnson made in the October issue of White Dwarf - GW are moving away from this because it is putting 'artificial limitations on what models we can col...

You might also consider how distrustful the High Elves will be of a Dark Elf claiming such things. Given that this is coming from an enemy that has infiltrated Ulthuan multiple times, that has killed and worse... There is every chance that the potential Druchii defector will meet with a very cold re...
