Happy Gaming!
Sisters of Battle. Ok, so the chances of a SoB army being voted for is pretty slim. However, because of how deep the background and fluff and how little Sisters get covered it is the perfect choice. They have so many of their own ‘chapters’ and can interact with so many of the other Imperial forces they can be themed far and wide.
😀 you’ve got my vote, sister!
I am not proud, I will take it!~!
Yeah for the SPACE NUNS!!!!!
My vote too.
This has my vote
You see Tau, Marines and the other armies on every corner. Sisters are the underdog on the table and very rare – thats your opportunity to make something really unique!
I support the vote for sisters (or Adepta Sororitas how they are now called in the “new codex”).
Plus one for the sisters
Fcuk the constant Waaaah-ing. If there was a lack of it there then than the gods, may it rest uneasily in a shallow grave!
Great vid – if you are going to do an army start to finish I would suggest is imperial guard, just my preference as 28mm sci fi human models are pretty easy to get a hold of.
Great weekender guys. Games Day didn’t look all that great, with the exception of that Panzer General looking iPad game. Best of luck on the move!
The DOS based Panzer General game was and is one of my all time favourite games!
I agree Orcs Orcs Orcs ….
2 words – Space Wolves 🙂
Yeah, if Sisters of Battle do not make the cut then Space Wolves would be great.
I choose blood angels.
So are you going to do the same for Fantasy too ? Could do Orcs or Deamons for both
So Gamesday is now just people paying £35 (or whatever it is these days) for the privilage of queing up to buy stuff they can buy off the interweb anyway?
Oh FFS!
You would have thought the clue to what it should be about was in the F***ing name!
Sisters of Battle i say !! emm does any have a Sisters of Battle army ?
It sure looks fun, when was this anyway?
You guys are getting excited about your renewed 40k coverage and I can accept that. It isn’t my thing but it is your prerogative to cover all the big games.
However I have one plea to make: do NOT play in 40k tournaments. I understand Warren has warmed up to the tourney scene recently through FoW and I fear the 40k competitive scene will kill that enthusiasm.
I have to add to the voices calling out for Sisters of Battle coverage. 🙂
I praise your ability to walk backwards without falling over Warren 😀
Great show guys, As the army voted for will undoubtedly be a Space Marine army I’d like to see the only chapter I’d even consider looking at: Space Wolves.
Loved the clip with Brian’s Massacre book being unwrapped, could see the pain in his eyes as @warzan ran his finger up that wrapper.
Dark Elder using a large number of female figs.
yes because you dont really see any stuff on them
Just for comparison of how times have changed.

This should work lol
But it didn’t, it failed, twas a wet fart with no ability to edit, lame 🙁
The Armageddon game is not an RTS but more a turn strategy game, i would say very similar to Final liberation, more info:

Haha, Games Day without any games..
Anyhow, I would vote for an Alpha Legion army. It would give access to conversions and a major codex.
LOL, how much did players pay just to go to a GW Mega Store then, sounds like a real person White Dwarf to me.
£35 🙁 and not one waaaggghhhh!!!!
Gamesday looked pretty sad to be honest especially when you compare it to any other wargames show.
I have to second @dais there’s a big difference between a 40K tournament and others but it would make a good report to see how you compare them.
Eldar will get my vote for your army.
Good luck getting back into 40k, after playing dropzone, flames etc it’s going to be a long hard road.
Orks were always my favorite! The opportunities for conversion are infinite! There’s so many ways of building an ork army that will be totally different and original.
Great show guys and good luck with the move, look forward to seeing you up and running again soon. As for the 40k army build, I think it’s a great idea, and I’d have to vote for Tyranids. Going off on a bit of a tangent, while your building this 40k army (what ever it may be), it might be interesting to choose one of the models, and do a little conversion tutorial with it. Doesn’t have to be anything complicated, just enough to show off that side of the hobby, and explore how well that particular army lends itself… Read more »
A new name for the 40k content, Warren you hit on the head, call it “Know your enemy!”
