Krootcon Down Under – Am I getting good at this?

Back in July, after Gonghammer, I was a tired old man. My first 40k event in years, and I was exhausted. With a sigh of relief and a grunt of effort, I freed a finger from my bags of...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Grand Showdown pt.2

Welcome back to part 2 of this week's column, looking at what I think is a Friday record of 6 events (after shuffling to make space for the US Open Showdowns on Wednesday). We're going to be straight into...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Grand Showdown pt.1

Warhammer - it's the thing that is happening. A lot. Tempting though it is to had the reins to Falcon once more just to see whether he could stretch a Beetleborgs theme out to 10+ events, it's me Wings, I'm...

Hammer of Math: Imperial Knight Non-House Martial Traditions

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Windy City Warfare

War doesn't stand still, and while we're still somewhat in Balance Dataslate waiting room, there's plenty to talk about on the battlefields of the 41st Millenium, with a US supermajor going into the books in Chicago, and plenty of...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Major Mayhem pt.2

Major Mayhem continues, despite it disappointingly not being the month of May. Someone should get on that. Today we've got three more of aforesaid majors to take a look at, and two GTs - the Mother of all Battles...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Conspicuously Pachyderm-Free Room

Plenty more Warhammer this weekend past, and lots of Warhammer on the one coming up. The biggest London Grand Tournament yet is going to be the largest single showcase for the Nephilim metagame so far, and should give us a...
