Few weeks ago I planned out to make this series of comparative mat reviews. This is it!
Please watch the video below, and follow the links to another six videos embedded.

Witajcie!

Pozwólcie, że tym razem skupię się na pisaniu posta po angielsku, ponieważ wideo, które mam zamiar nagrać będzie pierwotnie po angielsku. W wolnej chwili nałożę ścieżkę audio z polskim.

Welcome!

My friend Witek (you could see couple of his models on this blog, and I also played a game with him last weekend ) has planted a seed for this in my head and I simply followed on from there.

So, the idea was, as you can guess from the title of this post, to make a review of the mats. But different than the other reviews. So far I have only seen reviews that would show one, maybe two mats, usually from the same manufacturer. I started getting in touch with some of the companies and managed to secure samples from some of them.


Main objectives

• To make a comparative VIDEO review in ENGLISH of various mats side by side.
• To show potential buyers maximum angles, views of the mats owned.
• To allow potential buyers to make a decision on their own by providing them with maxium amount of information about the mats owned.
• To perform various test, that are real life scenarios:
• folding - keep the mat folded for 24h and then unfold it - how fast can it go to it's flat state
• waterresistance - spill the same amount of water onto a mat, see if it soaks the mat or stays on top
• reflections - film the mat from various angles to show that there are no / are some reflections, that could spoil your fun
• thickness - measure each mat, show them side by side
• materials used - draft info from the manufacturers on the materials (if it's not a secret :)
• sound of dice - film the same amount of dice being thrown on the table, focus on the sound they make (is it soft or loud?)
• resolution of graphics used - do they look the part?
• price - compare prices of each mat in Euros
• shipping costs - how much does it cost to post it to UK / US / Poland (will be asking each manufacturer for info)
• To present collected data in a chart (?) and allow for well informed decision making.
• No winners! Honest and objective opinion.

W końcówce stycznia mamy numer poświęcony Eldarom i w sumie też i tak Eldarom, gdyż pojawiają się w sprzedaży modele Harlequin Troupe oraz Harlequin Solitaire. Czytajcie dalej.

Welcome!

At the end of January we receive an issue with Eldar and Dark Eldar units of Harlequin Troupe and Solitaire. Read on for more.

Witajcie!

W tym tygodniu mamy numer w większości poświęcony Hobbitowi i Warhammerowi Fantasy, ale jest teżsmaczek dla nas 40tkowiczów. Zaczynijmy od tego, że jest to pierwszy numer, w którym nie ma żadnych nowości prezentowanych, więc możemy spodziewać się większej ilości wartościowych treści. Tia...

Welcome!

This week we have got an issue that is mostly dedicated to the Hobbit and Warhammer Fantasy, but there is little something for us, 40k fans. Let's begin with the fact, that this is the first issue without any new releases, so it should be full of good quality content. It should...

Welcome!

Another week, another White Dwarf from Games Workshop. Here's what's inside:


Blood Angels

• A release of the new Terminator Assault Squad and a Librarian
• Shield of Baal: Exterminatus in slipcased two-volume hardback and eBook and iBook editions. This is a last installment of the Shield of Baal: Laviathan and Shield of Baal: Deathstorm campaign. Blood Angels and Flesh Tearers fighting of Tyranids. It contains eight missions, 18 datasheets, Relics and Warlord Traits for Angels, Tearers and (!) Necton Mephrit Dynasty!

Hobbit

• Ruuuleees! I think the game is selling poorly if they are including the basic ruleset into the WD, together with two scenarios and hero profiles and example army lists.
• Some models, who cares?

The Phodian Mind War

• A eight pages long battlereport (don't get exited, it's mostly pictures) of a game between Blood Angels and Flesh Tearers versus Tyranids. You can see how all the new toys look on the table and how they fare in the game as well.

Paint Splatter

• Painting Mephrit Dynasty from Exterminatus as well as painting Flesh Tearers

The Rules

• Flesh Tearers Vanguard Strike Force that gets special rules like: Leading by Example (can do disordered charges without penalties) and Red Thirst (+1 to Initiative in the first round of combat).

Issue 47

• Brand new minigames
• Exclusive Exterminatus datasheets
• Free Cities of Death Tactical Objectives

Welcome!

Trying to look through the supplement for you, piece by piece. I hope you are enjoying those posts.

This time around I had a look at the unique formations conatined in the campaign supplement, Shield of Baal: Deathstorm, as well as all entries. As you know, we are receiving seven entries and two formation (mixture of 5 for Blood Angels and 4 for Tyranids). I will not go into too much detail (like statlines) due to obvious reasons, but will give you and overview. Let's start with the Blood Angels, shall we?

Captain Karlaen

A terminator captain with an already assigned Strategic Genius warlord trait. He has counter attack special rule and wields a Relic of Baal - The Hammer of Baal which is a Specialist, Uwieldly and Master-crafted weapon. Comes in at 160 points.

Squad Alphaeus

Five terminators with a sargeant. They have to wield one heavy flamer, one combination of storm bolter and chainfist and two combinations of strom bolter and power fists. Sarge, who prefers to kill Tyranids, is carrying as storm bolter and a power sword. This is the most generic squad of terminators you have seen. Well, it could have an assault cannon. Price tag - 215 points.

Raphen's Death Company

Another unit of five dudes, this time the crazed assault marines. Their captain, Raphen, carries a thunder hammer and a bolt pistol, rest of them have a mixture of chainswords, power fists and inferno pistols, etc. Each of them different kit. They will cost you 210 points.

Cassor the Damned

Dreadnaught with two blood talons and a meltagun and a storm bolter. He feels rage and is furios at charge. His armour will also ignore Shaken and Stunned effects. 140 points.

Strike Force Deathstorm

Now you know where the boxset name came from! Uses all models from Blood Angels faction with two special rules giving them Fearless or Counter-attack if they already were Fearless. The other one is the ability of Karlaen to enable all memebers to re-roll failed to wound rolls.

Now let's move on to Tyranids, three unti entries and a formation.

The Children of Cryptus

Eight genestealers and a Broodlord, who is also a psyker and a warlord with prefered enemy thingy. 215 points.

Phodian Hive Warriors

Three warriors with mixed gear: pair of scything talons with either a venom canon or boneswords and one with rending claws, lash whip and a bonesword. They come with interesting special rules, one saying that they do not suffer penalty from charging through difficult terrain and the other making all difficult terrain within 12" of that unit a dangerous terrain. 170 points.

The Beast of Phodia

Nothing beats a carnifex. And a carnifex with a Hammer of Wrath that just doesn't want to die... nothing gets even close to hurting it. It's dirt cheap too, 170 points.

Phodian Annihilation Swarm

All the above Tyranid entries with two special rules. One giving them Stealth or Shrouded (if already Stealthy enough). The other giving them Preferred Enemy as long as the Broodlord / Spawn of Cryptus is alive.

So this is it. These are the units / formations. Take it or leave, or even buy the box, since now you know what to expect!

Deathstorm: The Missions

Deathstorm: A Closer Look

Welcome!

So in the new campaign supplement we get three missions. I will quickly go through them and let you know what I think about them.

Mission 1 - Hunters in the Dark

• In this mission you are limited to use only Captain Karlaen and the five terminators versus eight genestealers and you play the game on a very weird table, 72"x24" and you start on the short edges. As you can imagine, your mission is to get the Captain from one edge to another.

• There are three special rules stating that the farthest you can shoot is 18", if you start your turn 6" away from the Exit table edge you can leave and win and the last, the most important is the one about genestealers going into Ongoing Reserves when they die. What's more, they will enter from the Blood Angels table edge on a roll of 1-2, 3-4 from the Exit table edge and 5-6 by Deep Strike. The game ends when the captain either leaves the table or dies.

I think that this mission is a breath of fresh air and it can (and probably will) be used to introduce new players to the game. Make the table shorter (48"), deployment narrower (12") and you can use it in your shop as an intro game or on any tournament for all the onlookers to "have a go".
When it comes to the seasoned players, it can be used as a short beer and pretzels break from big and tiresome games.

Mission 2 - Storm of Blood

• This mission allows more models than the previous one. After escaping the dark, Captain Karlaen is joined by a squad of the Death Company and the Dreadnaught (plus the terminators from the previous one). They face a huge force of Tyranids consisting of a carnifex, three tyranid warriors and eight genestealers. You play on a 48"x48" table with Blood Angels deploying 6" from the center and Captain Karlaen being an objective marker.

• There are certain arrangements on what can start the game and in what kind of deployment, ie. carnifex and the dread start in reserves (but will be able to arrive from any table edge), Death Company in Deep Strike. During first turn terminators are pinned in the center. The game is played according to Variable Game Length.

This is clearly a sruvival kind of mission. Blood Angels have to retrieve their captain and bring him back to their deployment zone. There's not much of a twist in this mission and I would score it the lowest of all three.

Mission 3 - Shadow of the Beast

• In this mission players are allowed to use all models contained in the boxset. You play on a normal 6'x4' table and again, Blood Angels deploy 6" from the center and Tyranids 3" from all edges. Genestealers have Infiltrate. Nothing can go into reserves. The game is played according to Variable Game Length.
• Special rules on play are that all Tyranids except for the Broodlord go into Ongoing Reserves when they die and that captian has Rage.

The aim of this mission is to score as many VP as possible. Players get 3 VPs for captain Karlaen (dead or alive - depending on the side) and 1VP for each Space Marine (dead or alive - depending on the side). This looks like a normal 40k mission but it still can't be played competetively. More like Space Hulk - you go as Blood Angels, then I go as them.

In the next installment I will go through the formations conatined in the campaign supplement.

Deathstorm: A Closer Look

Deathstorm: Units and Formations

Welcome!

As you all know we have the sons of Sanguinius are getting a new codex, some new minis and most importantly new campaign. Shield of Baal part two! With all that going on I have noticed, that Flesh Tearers are getting metnioned far too often to get omitted by some supplement. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

In the light of the above, I have purchased two boxes of Deathstorm and sold everything I do not need to bolster up my Flesh Tearers - one captain and terminators and the whole lot of Tyranids. I have left only two Furiosos and 10 man Death Company squad plus one Captain.

Rest assured, I will be posting some progress pics as soon as I get them assembled. But the question is, should I buy the BA codex? Got the magic cards. Will I be able to use them with FT? This will not make any sense...

Anyway... let's have a closer look on what's in the box before I shipe everything out.


The models

What we get in the box:

• 1 Blood Angels Terminator Captain
• 1 Furioso Dreadnaught
• 5 Death Company Space Marines
• 5 Space Marine Terminators
• 1 Broodlord
• 8 Genestealers
• 3 Tyranid Warriors
• 1 Carnifex.

The models are exactly what you get in their boxed counterparts. Except for the Captain and the Broodlord. Space Marine looks like he's dancing and Broodlord is based on the model from the Space Hulk (just a change of hands and the base).

The books

We get a mini rulebook, with a Blood Angel on the cover. That's the only difference. It's well done, as always.
We also get a campaign supplement with Shield of Baal: Deathstorm. It contains plenty of background information on the goings on in the Cryptus System and very nice two page artworks. On top of that it also contains:

• galleries of very nicely painted models from the boxset
• three missions to play with all the models (here's a catch: tables that they use are: 72"x24", 48"x48" and 72"x48")
• formations for both Blood Angels and Tyranids (same as in the Stormclaw, no special rules though)
• wargear for both factions and special rules and psychic powers for Tyranids

All in all I really am glad that I spent the money for the sets. The miniatures are worth their money for both Blood Angel and Tyranid players. Also, you get a book and the rule book for free.
Go and get it if you still can, if you collect or want to collect the armies.

Deathstorm: The Missions

Deathstorm: Units and Formations

Welcome!

I have collected all confirmed news from the latest issue of the latest Games Workshop catalogue. Here's what you can find inside:

Welcome!

So i had a look through the new WD and I must say, GW knows how to make money. Not only they are introducing new base sizes (Power Armour dudes and Jump Infantry and Broodlord) but are realeasing another boxset that makes you want to buy it straight up! Damn you GW! I hope you burn in hell! Ha!

But let's see what else is in the issue.

Deathstorm

• The new boxset with the new Shield of Baal campaign sort of thingy taking place in Cryptus System. Blah, blah, blah... you get 1 Blood Angels Terminator Captain, 1 Furioso Dreadnaught, 5 Death Company Space Marines, 5 Space Marine Terminators, 1 Broodlord, 8 Genestealers, 3 Tyranid Warriors and 1 Carnifex. 
• What's more interesting are the two new base sizes: 32mm round and 75mm oval. The 32mm bases are (supposedly) for all Power Armoured and Jump Infantry units. The other, 75mm oval, is for Broodlord, so I would say bigger, smallest monstrous of some kind.
• The box will also include the campaign book and a rulebook and a set of dice and markers and stuff.
• Captain Karlaen - dancing terminator is pretty cool with his Thunder Hammer and a Storm Bolter at once. Very Spacehulky looking model. Same goes for The Spawn of Cryptus, very similar to the Space Hulk Broodlord.

Witajcie!

Oto krótki pokaz jakości pakowania paczek przez sklep Cytadela.pl.

Witajcie! Ostatnimi dniami niewiele się działo na blogu w kontekście plotek. Raz, że miałem masę innej roboty i wszystko co do mnie dotarło, musiałbym wrzucać z opóźnieniem a dwa, że nie było nic niesamowitego. Recenzja White Dwarfa numer 23 pojawi się na dniach - paczka nie przyszła i nie miałem go w rękach! Sezon ogórkowy rozpoczął się pełną gębą, bo i nie dostawałem tajnych info na fejsie ani na mailu - co nie zmienia faktu, że bardzo dziękuję zainteresowanym ;) Jednakże, jak już coś trafi w moje ręce to od razu wam to przekazuję, jak i to niniejszym zaraz uczynię. NEWS: Stormclaw będzie zestawem z Orkami i Space Wolves. To już pewnie wiecie. Ale czy wiecie, że zestaw nie będzie miał specjalnych wyprasek, tylko normalne wypraski z pudełek, przepakowane w super duże pudło? "Co w tym dziwnego? Skoro są wyprodukowane to czemu nie?" - zdajecie się pytać. Dołączmy do tego fakt, że będzie to limited run (niekoniecznie limited edition) i mamy ciekawostkę: A co jeśli Games Workshop, ma zamiar zrobić, załóżmy na to, 50 tysięcy takich pudełek a potem, jak już się skończą, przepakować co innego w nie? Tak, aby zgrywało się z dalej postępującą kampanią Sanctus Reach itd? Moim zdaniem: bardzo prawdopodobne! Pamiętajcie, że usłyszeliście o tym u mnie! ;) Poniżej parę fotek nowego boxa i Red Waaagh! za pośrednictwem Lil'Loser oraz The Mexican Ork.

Welcome! In the last few days I haven't posted much rumour related. There are two reasons for it, one of them is that all the rumours got to me late and I would have to post stuff as the last guy on the blogosphere and second is that there were nothing exciting to share. The White Dwarf issue 23 review should be up in a day or two - I didn't receive the issue until today! It seems like the holiday season is fully on, since I didn't get any exciting leaks over the FB or email - I'm still thankful to those who kept sending them before ;) But, as you know, if I get to know something I will share it straight away, like now: NEWS: Stormclaw is going to be the new kit of Orks and Space Wolves. This you already know. But do you know, that the boxset will be comprised out of normal sprues, not special ones for the starter set? "What's so surprising about that? Since they got them made, why not sell them?" - I hear you ask. Well, let's mix it up with the news that it's going to be a limited run (not a limited edition) and we got ourselves a great news: What if Games Workshop is going to change the box every time it runs out of stock (they could easily make 50k of them to sell) and keep it up to date with the campaign Sanctus Reach or something. I think it's quite probable! Remember, you heard it here first! ;) Below are pics of the new box and the Red Waaagh! thanks toLil'Loser and The Mexican Ork.

Witajcie! Oto bardzo ciekawy model pomalowany przez Fleo, z Figs Factory. Miałem przyjemność trzymać ten model w rękach oraz przed moim obiektywem. Miłego oglądania. Miejcie na uwadze, że obrazki są bardzo wysokiej rozdzielczości.

Welcome! I have got a beautiful model painted by Fleo from Figs Factory. I had the pleasure to have it in my hand and in front of my camera. Enjoy. Be aware, the files a very high resolution.

Witajcie! Mam dla was hot news taki, że wam portki spadną! Tym razem mały Snotling nie podesłał fotek, a same informacje, więc bierzmy je ze szczyptą soli (jak to się utarło mówić), ale że blisko premiery, to nie bierzcie tej soli za dużo. Tak czy inaczej, już niedługo (13 Czerwca) do sklepów trafi (jak z resztą pisałem kilka postów niżej, nowy model Big Meka z Shokk Attack Gunem, całkowicie w plastiku. Cena 110zł. Dodatkowo wychodzi zupełnie nowy model Ork Mek Gun. Będzie to super wielkie działo z zestawem sześciu Grotów do obsługi. Z zestawu będzie można złozyć Smasha Gun, Traktor Kannon, Bubble Chukka, Mega-Kannon. Nie wiadomo nic dokładnie na temat działania tych opcji, ale co można wykminić to, że będą to pewnie nowe odpowiedniki starych dział artyleryjskich. Cena - 140zł. Pamiętajcie, usłyszeliście o tym tutaj! No i chwała Grotowi, który dostarczył wiadomości!

Welcome!  Today I got a bit of news for you that you will drop your pants down. This time my little Grot didn't take any photos, just used his big brain to memorize stuff, so... him being a Grot, take it with a pinch of salt, but knowing how close we are to the release: don't take too much. Anyhow, this weekend (13th June) we will see a new model of Big Mek model (as I wrote couple posts below) with Shokk Attack Gun. The model will be 100% plastic and will cost us 20 pounds / 35 dollars. Additionally we will get a new artillery unit. A Ork Mek Gun with six Gretchin crew. From the parts in the box we will be able to make Smasha Gun, Traktor Kannon, Bubble Chukka, Mega-Kannon. We don't know anything more about it, but I can guess this will swap the old artillery kits. Price: 25 pounds / 38 dollars.  Remember, you heard it first here! And all hail the Grot who brought the news!

Witajcie! Czyli jednak! Jeśli te plotki się potwierdzą, oznaczać to będzie, że miałem rację i Meganoby będą miały Warbossa, lub coś na jego kształt w oddziale. Czyli Warboss i obstawa. Tak jak Dedogg i dwóch Ogrynów. Ha! Jak to fajnie mieć rację - chyba. A wy jak to widzicie?

Welcome!  So as I was saying! If these rumours check out, it will mean that Meganobz can have an upgraded guy to something in the likes of a Warboss. Almost like Dedogg and two Ogryns. Ha! It's so cool to be right - I think. What do you guys think?

Witajcie! Poza kilkoma fotkami, które pojawiły się ostatnio, z nowymi Flashgits i ich zasadami, pojawiła się jeszcze jedna z nowymi Warbuggy i Mega Nobami. Mało kto zauważył w tej fotce nowego Shokk Attack Gun, który teraz wyjdzie pewnie w plastiku. Skąd to założenie? Ano tych płomyczków w Finecascie się nie da rady zrobić dobrze, a metalowe model już nie są produkowane. Tak czy inaczej, usłyszeliście o tym najpierw tutaj! ;)

Welcome! With all the new pics emerging here and there, there were couple depicting new Flash Gits and their rules. Additionaly there was one with new Shokk Attack Gun, but not everyone noticed it. This time it's going to be a plastic model, since you can't make such detail in resin and the metal models are no more. Remember! You heard about here first! ;)
