Review: Ultramarines the Movie: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie

Codex Pictures released the first full length CGI film for Warhammer 40K just this last December.  Some minor production hiccups delayed most international shipping to those of us fanboys here in the States.  But I can say that for this 40K-Space Marine Playing-Movie Loving- enthusiast the wait was well worth it. One of the things [...]

Intro to 40K: List Building pt 3 – Themed List

This is perhaps my favorite kind of list to play as I’m a very cinematic gamer.  I love setting up huge game boards with all kinds of terrain that tells a story, not just haphazardly thrown on the table.  My most enjoyable games are usually when one side or another is functioning at a disadvantage [...]

Intro to Warhammer 40K: The Armies – The Forces of the Imperium

The forces of the Empire are serving the divine will of their God-Emperor in preserving humanity against all those baddies we mentioned last week. The forces are broken into three basic groups: the masses of the Imperial Guard, the superhuman Space Marines, and the militant forces of the Inquisition\Ecchlesiarchy.

Ultramarines: They really are the greatest of them all

Let’s start out with some fluff: The Ultramarines were the 13th of the original 20 Space Marine Legions. Their Primarch was Roboute Guilliman, whose leadership (not to mention the Codex Astartes) were instrumental in humanity’s survival following the Horus Heresy.
