One of the hotter issues in 40k tactics is the debate between specialization and flexibility. One theory argues that units should be highly capable at a specific task, so that when they attempt it...

I'm hip to that. I'm just quickly reaching a point on BOLS where the number of posters I like reading is outnumbered by those who simply throw flame. Why the hell should I spend time on a moderated...

Green Tide orks are a tasty list, I think that the main reason not to expect them to win every game is that in the two years we've had the codex they simply haven't.

they are admittedly stronger...

I think, as has been stated by many previous posters, that the reason there aren't columns showing how to construct thematic lists is that thematic lists are inherently personal. I mean, I could...

There is a real reason for the current proliferation in SCs seen on the table top, and it has less to do with WAAC or a loss of respect than it does with the way the books are designed. In 3rd and...

First off, not all special characters are nearly the same. An SC like Belial isn't necessarily powerful, he's required to build a deathwing. Same with Sammael. A model like the Khan is the only...

There are two kinds of land raiders:

The first (and scariest) are ones that bring a payload of nasty troops towards you. Luckily, it's coming to get you. Melta vets in a chimera, while cliched,...

I feel bad for the OP, as nobody likes to play against jerks. That said, what the hell kind of jerk lumps all people that want to win in with cheaters and bullies?

I'm sick of the attitude of the...

Especially since I think your list isn't legal. Death company and DC Dreads all take troops slots, and you can't take more than six troops, even at Hard boys, otherwise I'd be fielding even more IG...

Well, I'd certainly quit the club. I'm sure you've guessed this, but part of their "rules" are clearly intended to get rid of you. Maybe not just you, but they either actively want you out or don't...

The Imperial guard have one of the broadest canvasses to create your own back story, organization, tactics, etc. It's not that they're not supported by official fluff, it's just that the fluff makes...

I wouldn't sell your army, at least not anything painted. Never sell painted stuff, because you can't get back the time you put into it.

Have a chat with the store owner, and see if you can get...

How do you ignore people? I think that 60% of all flame wars here are from one person, 30% from another, and only 10% from the field. Ignoring them would help.

Of course, I'm not entirely...

I think the current problem is that GW doesn't want anybody to feel like they "need" to buy WD to play and enjoy their games, which is nice, as it saves me $9 a month, but it means I also never buy...

Most of the spam encountered is due to the rules of 5th edition, not due to the influence of net lists. Why? Simple:

1) Fifth edition requires troops. With only troops scoring, every army needs...

GW might claim that it's not designing a tournament ready game, but the codices over the last three years have all been far more balanced, varied, and tournament ready than at any time. Even GW...

The old Ork Trukks are one of the only OOP models that has a significant advantages. Things like the OOP rhinos (Which I use exclusively for my marines) are close enough, but the Trukks are simply...

Can models assault out of a deep striking landraider? If not, then any player that actually deepstrikes is probably doing you a favor. Played properly, a landraider should allow a turn 2, or at...

That's weird, because when I double checked it comes out to only 1480....

So, I play a lot of IG, but I think the last 1500pt game I played competitively was about five years ago. Here's an attempt at what I hope will be a tough list for the following scenarios:...

My first army for GW was a warhammer empire army, built around the 6th edition box set I split. That was in 2002, and I've still only played less than 10 games with it (and it's now 2500pts...

Fog of war is a great component to war games. That can't be denied.

What can be denied is that 40k is a wargame. It's not. It's a skirmish level miniatures game. Fog of War is great in...

One of the ways that people deflect criticism from themselves is to go on the offensive, and accuse others of their own flaws. In doing so, it makes any retaliation, no matter how true, simply seem...

Actually, unless I missed something the rules dont' really actually define deployment. There really are no defined mechanisms for deploying a unit into a transport. They aren't embarking, because...

Honestly, and no offense the to OP, but if a good player with a good IG list shouldn't have difficulty with any Chaos list, no matter how tailored. I get the feeling he's looking for advice that...
