The Scourge - War Pack Review

Jan 19 2015 01:50 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

It was demanded, so here it is:

A proper, strategic, tournament-minded review of the Warpack!

Necessarily, these articles will come a bit later than the Chime of Eons ones (as they remain my main enthusiasm, and time is needed to playtest, gather reviews and collate), but I expect that these are the articles people will find actually useful!

The Chime of Eons - The Scourge

Jan 10 2015 12:09 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

"In the embrace of the great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilential favour I have become that which I once most feared: Death."

More Dakka was demanded, and More Dakka has arrived.

After far, far too long we return to the Chime of Eons. Speed up those War Packs, FFG!

The Chime of Eons - The Howl of Blackmane

Nov 28 2014 09:00 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

We are the wolf that stalks
The stars in the sky
And swallows the star-fire

AROOOOOOOOOO! Attack, my angry werewolf vikings in space, attack!

The Chime of Eons returns, after an absence so short that its actually ahead of the 5-day schedule. Come on in, and see how fluffy a furry marine can be.

The Chime of Eons - Neutrals

Nov 25 2014 02:46 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

Every servant has his place, no matter how lowly or modest. To know it is his greatest comfort, to excel within it is his greatest solace, and his master's contentment is his greatest reward.

Just six cards proper, and a brief look at the Planets to tie up the first series of The Chime of Eons.

An unworthy addendum, that I hope will entertain!

The Chime of Eons - The Dark Eldar

Nov 18 2014 07:00 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

"We are the masters of the shadowed sky. Not for us a grubbing crawl through the mud and filth of battle. Leave that to the lesser races. We shall only set foot upon the soil these vermin call home in order to place our bladed heels on their throats."

Nice guys, these Dark Eldar. Really positive, friendly people.

Pop round to Commorragh for tea, toast and a lovely chat about the fluff of this cheerful gang. They promise to be most kind and happy, and promise to only torture or maim or terrify you if they really have to, or if they're bored, or if they just want to.

The Chime of Eons - Chaos

Nov 13 2014 06:16 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

"It is this hatred that has sustained me through the long millennia. I tend it with bitterness. I nurture it with the deaths of my former brothers."

The Long War began ten thousand years ago, but it isn't over yet! The Conquest LCG represents the latest battlefront, and our Chaos faction cards are our tools and weapons. Are they up to the job, fluffwise? Or are they as weak and purposeless as a whimpering Loyalist marine?

The Chime of Eons - The Orks

Nov 08 2014 02:36 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

â€œOrkses is never defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!â€

Run! Run as fast as you can! The greenskin tide is upon us, and if their choppas, sluggas and rokkit launchas don't get you, their body odour surely will!

The Chime of Eons sounds a discordant note, but is drowned out by a mighty "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

The Orks are here!

The Chime of Eons - The Astra Militarum

Nov 03 2014 02:35 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

â€œI have at my command an entire battle group of the Imperial Guard. Fifty regiments, including specialized drop troops, stealthers, mechanized formations, armored companies, combat engineers and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mine to command. Emperor show mercy to the fool that stands against me, for I shall not.â€

Shots ring out in the dead of night, the sergeant calls 'Stand up and fight!' You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now!

Yes... uh, little bit of Status Quo there, to make me look like an old man. Anyway, the Chime of Eons continues, with the fluff of the Astra Militarum!

The Chime of Eons - The Space Marines

Oct 30 2014 02:34 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

â€œWe are the slayers of kings, the destroyers of worlds, bringers of ruination and death in all its forms. These things we do in the name of the Emperor and in the defense of Mankind. Let none stay our wrath.â€

Ding a ling, ring a ding ding! Its that Eon Chimey Time again! The Imperial Explorator General has ordered a Fluff Article on the Adeptus Astartes, and this humble Logis Apothecarion has provided, as best able.

The Chime of Eons - The Tau

Oct 24 2014 08:48 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

â€œTo follow any path other than the Tauâ€™va is to doom us all. Only together and with courage and discipline shall we stand victorious. Fight with fire and courage and nothing can stand against us.â€

The toddler Tau of T'au take their technological toys to Traxis!

The Chime of Eons - The Eldar

Oct 17 2014 07:00 AM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

When one truly understands fate as it is, myriad branching paths, then one can truly see that duty is cleaving to a particular fate, and glory is the accomplishment of dutyâ€™s ends. When we are true to the nature of the Eldar, we cannot fail."
The journey begins! The ancient and arrogant Eldar fall under the spotlight, as we commence the examinations of the Fluff of 40k, and how well it is represented in the LCG.

The Chime of Eons - A Column about the Fluffy Bits

Oct 10 2014 01:00 PM | Asklepios in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

A man may die yet still endure if his work enters the greater work, for time is carried upon a current of forgotten deeds, and events of great moment are but the culmination of a single carefully placed thought. As all men must thank progenitors obscured by the past, so we must endure the present so that those who follow may continue the endeavour

Flooded No More

Oct 02 2014 03:35 AM | SynnerG in Warhammer 40k: Conquest

How a difference in mechanics and a sudden realization while playing 40K: Conquest made me see the light. I go over the design of the "Command Struggle" and how it changes deck building, theming, and tempo of FFG's latest Living Card Game.
