Shout Out: Heroes of Armageddon Project

Busy busy busy! For those of you who didn't know, live under a rock or you're that one last person who doesn't follow MWC; last week I was chosen by Matt (the guy running the show,) to be one of his new writers. What does this mean for The Magnet Pro? Hopefully it means pushing out twice as many posts as before, only time will tell. As for right now, Matt at MWC has gathered a small team of writers with all manner of strengths in the tabletop world and I'm very excited for the readers to see some of the ideas we have going. But enough about me, let's transition to another group of writers that are about to be very busy.

The old Storm Wardens crew is back at it, and in a big way. Dave Taylor Miniatures revealed today that they will be creating a similar project for Doctors Without Borders, only this time the scale of things will be epic. Instead of one army, this time around there will be four teams working on four, count them--four, 3,000 point armies all based off of the Third War of Armageddon. Donation placements are already set up and ready for the raffle to win one of these armies (I assume they won't all be going to one person.) Just like last time, I would expect to see many prizes involved for runner-ups as well. Keep an eye on this project's epicness and get those donations in for your chance to win!

EDIT: The central blog for this project can be found here and also in my blog roll to the right.

Rules: Walking Transport

I Like To Think My Walking Transports Are A Little Less Lame Than This

There has been some questions that have come up, in my games and for you playtesters out there, as to the specifics on how the Walking Transport Special Rule in the AdMech FanDex functions. Fear not! I'm here to spell it all out for you with specific scenarios and explanations. First, the actual rule states, "Any model with the Walking Transport Special Rule uses the same movement and shooting rules for walkers (see pages 72-73 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.) This also applies to any passengers firing weapons from the transport. All other normal vehicle rules apply."

Finally!

Thanks goes to Tabletop Fix (easily my favorite blog to find new minis) for this heads-up. Ever since I saw the first teaser pictures of this model, I've kept my watchful eye on it in hopes that it would be completed sometime before I perish. Luckily, Kromlech has finally released this model for sale on their eBay store! Now you may be asking, what use would I have for this model? Is this possibly a sneak peek into the future of the Adeptus Mechanicus' fandex? The answer is; banana.

So many things to come! Stay tuned.
