SISTAZ of Battle Part 1: A Crisis of Faith

The new Sisters of Battle codex hit the news stands about a month ago now. This has given me some time to really find out what the book does and doesn't have going for it.

It seems like many people have given the book a very rough handling.

(like Games Workshop! -Rimshot- )

It's true the book, is a lot different than it used to be. But people yelling

"OMG SELL YOUR SISTAZ NOW OFMG!"

is really uncalled for, especially when they were doing that before the 2nd part of the codex was even out...

An informed opinion I'm sure.

Also, people seemed to gain a lot of knowledge about how bad sisters were NOW, even though they had exactly ZERO previous experience with the Codex...

An informed opinion I'm sure.

Well now that that's out of the way..

Instead of going and drilling to death individual unit reviews I'll stick with making a general list of Pros and Cons in-relation to the old book addressing the biggest complaints I've seen circulating.

Dreadfleet Preview

So, there's this new GW thing. It's called 'Dreadfleet', and it looks pretty cool. There's a 10-minute video hosted by Phil 'Dank Budz' Kelly detailing all the ins and outs. Because it's GW, an over-acting pirate tells you in harsh pirate language how cool every ship is, and how super spooky it is that ships can be made of ghosts. The goods are about 9 minutes in though, as you'd expect. And if you're a gamer, you know 'the goods' are: What do we get?' We love our fluff, aye, but we'll not spill our purses unless you tell us how many models we get! I'll embed the video at the end, feel free to watch it, but be aware that your host is HIGH AS HELL.

HIGH AS HELL, BRO

3rd Annual: Texas Tag-Team Tournament

There comes a time every year when everyone at the local gaming store feels the pressure.

The pressure of having to find the perfect partner for the "Texas Tag Team Tournament!"

And I'm not immune to such pressures, every year I try to become inspired by my own personal Heroes.....

....The Legion of Doom.

What would you do Hawk and Animal?!

No, elbow drops aren't the answer this time.

Despite their council I have yet to capture Tag-Team glory in the 41st Millennium.

But NOT This Year!

This year I've been grooming a new dark apprentice to stand at my side and claim victory...and destroy the Jedi once and for all!

However, having 6'' spiked shoulder-pads and an evil manifesto against space samurai isn't enough, at least not when it comes to 40k, so we'll also need the perfect Army List to bring down the house! A "5 Moves of Doom" if you will.

From The Depth of Local Gaming!

Every weekends friends get together to do things with and to each other (if you're lucky.)

I seem to spend many of my weekends hunched over a gaming table making many bad long term life choices at once. Which is why so often after weekly gaming we retire to the bar, for some much needed emotional salve on our sore emotion anuses.....emotionally!

This weekend was no different. However, this weekend stood out with a break in form of having a rather large mega-battle, pitting forces of the Imperium against the:

"RUINOUS POWERS OF CHAY-OAS!"

The powers, ruinous as they may be, consisted mostly of . Orks, Dark Eldar,...and 1 Chaos Marine player (who wasn't foolish enough to not run Space Marine formations and use Chaos models).

As I have recently sold my most precious Ork army, I decided I would need something fancy to put together during the week to have for Saturday. A trip to Toys "R" Us and the Hobby Store later.... This came a rolling out of my workshop
