My best looking and up there with best to play has to be the Hive Tyrant with wings. I kit bashed an old school twin linked devourer model recently and it puts out 24 S6 shots but covers so much ground on the table. Playing as Kronos and a Warlord gives the psychic ability an extra punch with the D3 mortal on a failed psychic test. Plus there is a strat which makes anyone roll one die on a psychic test with (shadows in the warp) an auto fail on the cards for a test of 6+. It is a thing of beauty.

I can say from all of us we appreciate the hard work you put into keeping the website up-to-date and keeping the content really interesting! It’s great to see you participating in the tournaments! Your models are also looking great, keep up the good work! My favourite 40k model would have to be the Tesseract Vault, it’s huge table presence and the idea that a shard of a god is stored inside is an impressive thing to model!

My favorate 40k model varies but a model I keep coming back to are Harlequin Players. the old metal kit was way ahead of its time compared to other GW sculpts in how dynamic and "in motion" the models feel, and the newer plastic kit turns that up to 11.

Each one is beautifully sculpted, and each showcases a different aspect of a Commissar in the Imperium. You have one charging forward, inspiring the soldiers of the Astra Miltiarum with his courage. Another is delivering a rousing speach , reading from the a book of holy verses. While the last and in my opinion the best is performing the ultimate sanction. Bolt pistol raised as he returns discipline. He also has a riding crop behind his back, and a smirk on his face. This guy likes his job!

Be it one from the famous RTB01 box, that was astonishing modular at the time, the metal ones from the 2nd edition, that also offered some variety, or pretty much every other box that has come since then. Don't forget the Chapter specific packs, that allow for even more customized models.<br />The Space Marines ARE W40k!<br />Nothing symbolizes it more than them, probably even to someone who is not into our niche hobby, the Space Marines may be a something they know.<br /><br />Looking forward to many more years and countless more articles coming from you. ;-)HellHennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923437652472440692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-60971846930908567602018-08-10T14:45:47.761+01:002018-08-10T14:45:47.761+01:00Thanks for the info, I'll check it out :)Thanks for the info, I'll check it out :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126357742587398422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-46170014459029897272018-08-10T12:56:02.431+01:002018-08-10T12:56:02.431+01:00Thanks for your comment Ewan!

If you check out the Frontline Gaming tab at the top (or in the tabs menu if using your phone) you'll find a list of the articles I've posted. I've been mainly covering Space Marines, Dark Angels and Deathwatch at the moment. These mostly cover unit reviews, but I might take a look at some general tactics articles in the future.

I have plans :)<br /><br />Love the content, though, has been great watching your blog grow over the years I've followed (and of course not commented :)). Looking forward to seeing what you make of Codex Orks, whenever it arrives!<br /><br />Favourite model for me would have to be going way back, to the Rogue Trader Imperial Guard models. They all really grabbed me as a kid, they tied in so well with the art at the time (the John Blanche plastic boxed set cover in particular). But the commander officer was my favourite through the range, wish I still had him somewhere :) the breastplate, fatigues and helmets were a great look IMO, and really got me into the game.<br /><br />On a side note, have you ever considered any tactics articles? You're very proficient with the battle report maps, old WD features I used to love used these maps a lot to demonstrate theories and points and as someone who's very out of the game I'd love to see some pages like that. Just an idea :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126357742587398422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-52718432587911529272018-08-10T09:16:08.792+01:002018-08-10T09:16:08.792+01:00There are?
