  • My 10 reasons for the Blood Angels

    The Blood Angels already had a rough recent past with the Baal System being omnomnomed by Tyrandis, but things will get even worse with the 8th Edition: Nearly wiped out by the Tyrandis – and I can’t think of anyone better I would rather be wiped out by – only to be rescued in the…

    My 10 reasons for the Blood Angels
  • “Where fascist policies are not just justified, but absolutely required …”

    “40K, especially the Imperium of Man, is a fascinating universe in part because it accomplishes something that can only be done when you play some of these tropes perfectly straight. It constructs an Alternate Universe where fascist policies are not just justified, but absolutely required for mere survival. As someone else put it, ‘if you…

  • “Why would the Emperor permit something quite so dangerous and untamed to exist?”

    “Space Marines are inherently tough, but the Space Wolves are particularly dangerous. They are ruthless. They are savage. They are brutal. It begs the question why would the Emperor permit something quite so dangerous and untamed to exist? That would be to take down another legion.”

  • The Primaris and the Minis

    There has been a lot of excitement within the Astartes-Community about the comming of the new Marines. Will Games Workshop phase out the old Minis? Will your Army be invalidated? Will your Minis look shitty? We still don’t know a few things, especially, the further Plans Games Workshop has, but I think we know enough…

  • The Primaris Space Marines and the Space Wolves

    It’s only been a few hours, that we know of the upcoming Primaris Space Marines. And we still know very little about them. But this we do know … They are the work of Ten Thousand Years. They still bear the gene-seed of their Primarchs. They are better than common Space Marines.

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 7 – Our Darkness

    My Brother, my report seems to have ended with the last letter, but you do know, that I haven mentioned a certain aspect of my chapter only briefly: The _things_ we do within our old fortress monastery on Campus Actuarii. I think, it all started with the loss of our homeworld. Or maybe even earlier:…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 6 – Important Members of the Chapter and Campaigns

    My dearest Brother, within my last letters I told you all the essential information about my chapter and my people. Yet I do have do add some things without too much explanation: A highly incomplete report on the most important Brothers of my chapter, Persons within our Fleet and our most important campaigns. You will…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 5 – Military Organisation and Combat Doctrine

    My honoured Battlebrother, within my last Letter, I told you about the culture of my people as well as their traditions and believes. I considered it important to understand that, or rather have a first glimpse into it, before I explain the military organisation and combat doctrines of my chapter, as the later has greatly…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 4 – Chapter Culture and Believes

    My Brother, I am sorry for the delay in my letters. We have been under attack by renegades lately and the secret of our fortress monastery must be defended at all costs. So I neither had a chance to write you nor to continue on my research. Currently I can only continue to explain the…

  • Thousand Fist – Letter No. 3 – Loss of the Mountain

    My honoured Brother, in my last letter I told you how my chapter lost our homeworld and was granted a star fortress – The Mountain – for our reliable services. For more than three millennia it served as the home of my chapter and the refuge of our people. Sadly this was not the end…
