Warseer Blog of the Pre-Heresy Emperor's Children.
Forget everything you have ever seen for the Emperor's Children, a new master of the Children is here.

Hi there,
about time I started another army!. It feels good to finally get back into it I must say.

A friend and I are both doing pre heresy armies, so we decided to base our armies around a certain event in the books. I don't want to spoil too much for those that haven't read into the stories, but my army will be themed around the force that is sent down to Iistvaan III to purge the loyalists that remain after the Virus bombs.

Philip's 40k Think Tank

nospam@example.com (Refuse) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 11:55:49 -0700

This is a collection of my various 40K inspired concepts that I refer to quite often when I'm explaining how I see the universe actually working. My aim was to introduce a reasoned premise for the structure of the universe that reinforces the image and horror of the setting.

What a great site for some amazing thinking!

Squad Command Demo - Review

nospam@example.com (Refuse) — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 17:14:49 -0700

Downloaded the Squad Command Demo for the PSP, comes with one mission.

From their site:
# Compelling single player game consisting of 13 unique missions
# 9 unique multiplayer maps for Local or Global games, with small, medium and large map variants to cater for games from 2 to 8 players
# Fully destructible, real time 3D battlefields mean that no two games will be the same
# Pick from two Space Marine chapters or two Chaos Space Marine Legions to play as in Multiplayer games, in battles between Imperium vs. Imperium, Forces of Chaos vs. Forces of Chaos, or Imperium vs. Forces of Chaos
# Over 20 ranged and close combat weapons taken directly from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, including the Bolter, Plasma Gun, Chainsword and Power Fist

Read more for my opinions of the demo. The game is a turned based game between two players. With the normal "Overwatch" (cone of response).

Graphics look good, though you can only play Ultramarines (against Chaos, ooh the insanity).

Controls took a bit to get use to. You move with the arrows and look with the joystick.
Your basically either in movement mode (Turn based) or shooting (aiming, and then AP to fire).
The marines can each take (this is only the demo) a bolter and a chainsword or plasmagun.

The marines move around the map (using APs), and avoid the "cones" from the enemy. If you get in the enemy cones (or they yours) your troops automatically fire. Now this may be good to kill the enemy, but it can also hurt as your guys will shoot into your troops. During the demo, the enemies Terminator kills more of his troops then mine.

The map is hard to get use to (small) and without instructions it took me abit to find out how to shoot (killed several troops with plasmagun fire that does alot of damage).

The mission was simplistic (demo so not complaining).

GW's modelling tips for Slaanesh.

With sections like:
PAINTING PINK SIMPLY TAKES A BIT OF PATIENCE
The color pink factors into quite a few Slaanesh-oriented color schemes. It looks like a tricky color to paint due to its bright nature.

SCULPTING LEATHER OVER ARMOR
Often, the followers of Slaanesh stretch leather over their armor.

SCULPTING FUR COLLARS
Other common ways Slaanesh Renegades distinguish themselves are elaborate fur collars and linings.

MODELING STUDDED ARMOR
Armor studs are yet another way to give off a Slaanesh feel within your squad of Chaos Space Marines.

Inquisition!

nospam@example.com (Refuse) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:00:00 -0700

An illustrated guide to the secretive protectors of the Imperium.

‘In the name of the Inquisition, I can sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a billion souls to oblivion.’

The Warhammer 40,000 universe is a deadly place in which mankind must defend itself from aliens, heretics and the insidious forces of Chaos. To do so, the Imperium employs agents of the Inquisition – a shadowy and ruthless organisation, which will go to any lengths to protect humanity.

This amazing background book is the essential guide to inquisitors, including the famous personalities of the Inquisition, their allies, enemies, equipment, methods, political factions and much more. Every entry is rendered in encyclopaedic style, with superb illustrations throughout.

Everything you have been told is a lie.
