There's no reason Zombies can't use ladders. They're not so mindless and brain-dead enough that they can't grapple with their victims to feast on their flesh, and if you can grapple with a struggling victim then you can probably figure out planting and climbing a latter to get to the flesh morsels o...

I have some experience in the art of siegecraft, yes. It went well enough all things considered, a tactical loss but a strategic windfall. I handled deployment by using forward parties of swift and cunning scouts to pre-empt some of the undermining activities of the defenders around the castle, all...

The attack occurred on a Tau staging post above Penros X and marks the second major space combat by Tau ...

Luna: ... Welcome back to Tor'Vash'Por, I'm Luna Samara joining you now at the top of the hour. We begin tonight in the Penros system where Tau expeditionary forces have managed to contain armed terror groups probing the equatorial desert belt of Penros VII. It's one of the few successes Tau forces...

Hello, Classichammer. It's been a long time for both of us, hasn't it? I'm sorry I keep forgetting to write. I've had a very rough few years, and I've been seeing other games. Modern games. I know, I know, but the fact of the matter is meeting people where they are gets me out of the house and play...

Well, right off the bat your biggest problem is that neither of the Spellsingers have a unicorn, and a Spellsinger on a Unicorn is as mandatory for Wood Elf armies as giants and trolls are for Orc/Goblin armies and Dragons are for High Elves, because really if you're not going to include a beautiful...

Part of it is game sizes, but a lot of it is simply down to perspective and planning. Even in small games I still often take a regiment of 20 Eternal Guard precisely because they're vulnerable to getting flanked and that's exactly what I want my opponent to do . If I know they're a juicy target for ...

I struggle a lot with positioning to make that happen, though. Usually when I charge, my unit luckily destroys the enemy or makes them flee, but then, in my opponent’s next turn, that unit is left exposed and vulnerable to being charged. Do you have any advice on how to avoid that? The fundamental ...

Above all remember that Wood Elves are a movement army. They win in the movement phase the same way that Bretonnians and Chaos armies win in the combat phase and certain Dwarf and Skaven armies win in the shooting phase. Consider the units you want to use first. Wood Elf armies are the most unit-cen...

At last it's finally here! Just in time for Christmas, this year ends with a bang seeing the long-awaited release of the much anticipated second installment in the Codex Battlezone series of Warhammer 40,000 rules supplements, Codex: Desert Fight, which explores the burning desert battlefields of t...

Oh Jonathan, don't you know? Project Enormity will never end. Now that you've cracked the Forgeworld barrier there's all the other Wardian Necron resin to consider, and after that the Chaos Space Marine Dinobots, and after that the Space Wolf FHREEEEZING ENGINES, and after that... The brain worms wi...

Also. Genestealer Cults. My mind's coming up blanks. Were those a thing in Chapter Approved or the like? Or do I have... oh, no. I feel another project coming on. Yes they were covered by the Citadel Journal. I can't tell you which journal issue it was, but the article section seems to be included ...

Any Cruddacing that's occurred here should be more than compensated by the extended Chambers-Hainesing treatment the Night Parrot team is giving them. And the Stormsurge IS ridonkulous and deserves every last iota of ridicule it gets. They are a great source of parts for kitbashing and converting go...

I tried to warn them. Conveniently there is also a handy expanded Tau VDR module set up that might assist your obsession. Don't be afraid to let someone else conveniently do half the work for you, I said. Science is made by standing on the shoulders of giants, I said. It's all for the greater good, ...

Welcome back to another kakapo Approved! This time Kakapo is paying a visit to his arms dealer to bring us a new set of rules that introduces the 41st Millennium to the oldest improvised fighting vehicle in the book. Governments of the galaxy beware! Ahh, the humble Technical. Simple, crude, undere...

My experiences in real-time virtually-simulated strategium training against the machine spirit confirm this. I've been running a very successful Night Lords battlegroup - Carnage and Desolator class cruisers, and a squadron of Iconoclast destroyers - around the Scarus sector, keeping the Green Kroo...

Making people feel like they're a little kid rushing across the playground is a key goal at Night Parrot Magazine. In a good fun 'reminiscent of innocence' way of course and not a 'reliving all your worst school experiences over and over again' way like the recurring nightmares do. Ironically, the C...

Tau Turn 5 Kakapo: What a reversal, but I still need to do something about the Harvester of Sorrows now that it's starting to get dangerously close to the escape zone. It is at this point that I realise that the Sharon Den Adel is still combat effective with only one Hull Point lost, and could catc...

Chaos Turn 1 Millitant: The scenario guaranteed me first turn against an off-guard fleet, and I was absolutely going to make the very most of it by getting my ships up as close as possible before they started coming under attack. The sooner I could get in close proximity to the Tau ships the sooner...

"Black 4, Black 6, this is Gate Control. Snap to waypoint 8-8-4-0. EM and quantum waveform disruption detected, Daosk." "Confirmed Gate Control, we'll investigate. Tau'va." Kor'vre'T'au Doran'Ko'Shi glanced across his tactical display to double check the waypoint before switchin...

So first: I'm having a horrid day today and those clickbait titles really cheered me up. Thanks, mate. No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed them! I think the coupling of mass points and transport capacity is mostly to keep the scale sensible? Imagine thirty-two Gaunts piling out of a Tervigon's gullet ...

I thought about suggesting that and then remembered Spirited Away. It's actually not too hard to find ridden Asian dragons if you go looking. Here's a Chinese one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_painting_depicting_a_man_riding_a_dragon I'm sure it's not hard at all, but I'm not talking about As...
