Hello, Birdie

There's a lot to be said for Tzaangor Shamans in a Thousand Sons list: cheap Elite slot, cheap psychic power, buffs two different units, mobile, able to dish out a punch.


Converted Tzaangor Shaman from Warhammer 40k, Thousand Sons or Age of Sigmar, Disciples of Tzeentch.
I didn't mean to imply the Tzaangor Shaman is cheap.
She is, of course, a lady.

The only downside is the model is monopose. A lovely monopose, but to have a second one in the same style is unacceptable in any army of mine, not least a Tzeentch one.

So it's a-converting we shall go...

Mr Tumnus Will See You Now

"I'm crying because I'm such a bad Faun."

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Ungor as Chaos Cultists conversions.
"It's no good now, you know," said the Faun,
shaking its head at her very sorrowfully.

"I don't think you're a bad Faun at all," said Lucy. "I think you are a very good Faun. You are the nicest Faun I've ever met."

We Are Returned: Black Legion vs Death Guard & Black Legion vs T'au

A double-header battle report - I took the Black Legion over to Kasfunatu Towers to fight all-comers!



I, Stylus, will be providing a brief summary for each game. No images, I fear. We were playing two games of 2000pts, and getting to grips with some relatively new armies, so there was no brain power left for the historical record.

My opponent, and host, was Kasfunatu.

Go Fish: Black Legion vs T'au

The Greater Good meets the Big Bad - T'au versus Black Legion!



Get the Fish To Bite!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!


I, Stylus, will be taking on the T'au for the first time in 8th Edition. I'll also be eschewing the Thousand Sons for a more conventional form of heresy - the Black Legion will take to the field!

After a recent casual-tournament I had the basis of a T'au army ready to go, but welcomed the extra points to knock it up to 1500pts. I'll warn now, my rebuttals/comments may be a little sketchy as the fight was a couple of weeks ago.

A Clash Of Heroes: Thousand Sons vs Dark Angels

The gauntlet is thrown down between the mightiest heroes of the legion: nine Thousand Sons characters take on nine Dark Angels - it's X-Treme Killteam!

Warhammer 40k custom mission - 9 vs 9 characters - Dark Angels vs Thousand Sons.

Once again, I was battling Mr AP Burn, who brought a full compliment of Dark Angels command structure!

Which of GW's game systems is the mightiest? 

We've all thought it, right? Time to find out, as I, Kraken, 

and I, Stylus,

power up our super world collider and pit Age of Sigmar against 40K! After all - there can only be one!*

Bring an Axe to this Gunfight!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Shameless Mercantile Behaviour

So, it comes to this. My cupboard is too small, my wallet too puny and my ambitions too great. Something had to give!

Fools Rush In: Dark Angels vs Thousand Sons

It's a clash of the fallen as Dark Angels face Thousand Sons once again!

Warhammer 40k battle report - Maelstrom of War - Contact Lost - 2000 points - Dark Angels vs Thousand Sons.

I returned to Bristol to face Mr AP Burn's grim astartes - but did I bring scissors or paper?

Well, I haven't really finished anything new here. But I am a year older, and got some new kit for my birthday that I want to show off!

All Creatures Small and Smaller


I looked at my scenery projects for at least five minutes before deciding that Reaper Bones models aren't that tedious to paint after all.
