GCT Studios has announced there next wave of mini’s and they are letting you in on project.

Heere is a quick overview of Bushido from our friends at GCT Studios and copied from the article.

“Welcome, here’s a quick intro…

GCT Studios launched Bushido last year and we have had an excellent time sharing our world with you. Bushido is a table-top, 32mm miniatures, Oriental Fantasy, skirmish game, where fast and brutal gameplay combine with real strategic depth.

We launched with four factions and grand plans to release more and really fill out the Jwar Isles. Now we have concepted the next faction and our excitement levels have risen to the point that we want to share it with you NOW… And that’s where you come in, we need your support to get this off the concept table and released sooner.

With your help the Ito will come to life and leave their island. You can cause the Prefecture of Ryu yet another setback as their uneasy alliance with the Ito comes crashing to an end, the upper echelons of the Takashi clan’s fears of an attack from across the Silver Strait finally realised.

You can help us to allow the Ito to finally shed their veil of deceipt and reveal their true nature to world.”

Dark Eldar 1000 point List

 Dark Eldar, Warhammer 40K  Comments Off on Dark Eldar 1000 point List
Jan 052012
 

This is one of my favorite lists of all times at 1000 points.  Not only is this list easy to play it allows you to apply several different strategies while it is on the table.   It just doesn’t matter what you are playing against with this list you stand a a chance.  It is balanced.  Yet it’s fairly straight forward.  While the Dark Eldar as a whole are a pretty balanced army this one is a shooting army.   That doesn’t mean they can’t hold their own in close combat it just means they  will do better without it.

 

The army contains only 56 models. While that is not an impressive number the important thing to note is the firepower.  We will look at that in a minute.  Here is the list

Game Review Warhammer 40K

 Gaming News, Miniature Game Reviews, Reviews  Comments Off on Game Review Warhammer 40K
Nov 182011
 

Warhammer 40K is another sci-fi skirmish game.  It has a huge following.  It is both loved and hated by gamers around the world.  There is just so much one can say in the great GW argument, but we aren’t here to fuel that debate.  I am here to give an honest review of Warhammer 40K

Here is my brief history  of 40k.  In November of 2004 (the night bfore Thanksgiving actually)  I painted my first 40 Dark Eldar Warriors.   For, oh the next 3 years we played pretty hard, 2 or 3 nights a week.  So, what happened?  Life just kind of got in the way.  Our 4oK games began to grind down.  We still play a game or 2 a year but it is nothing like it used to  be.

So here we go the roller coaster known as 40K.

Warhammer 40k Uses an archaic set of game rules.  The largest detriment to the game is the whole army activations.  The game industry moved away from this around 2003.  Not only is whole army activation old it slows down game play.  The game would play much faster if the interaction of activations alternated form player to player instead of army to army.  Further, if  the activations alternated squad to squad the game would allow for more tactics.
