Deathstars - The Positives

STAR WARS DUNDUNDUN

Deathstars

Over the past months, the Internet has been putting the hard word on Deathstars. This has in part been brought on by the abundance of players flocking to Draigowing armies over the previous months. The Internet is now full of articles slamming deathstars and bringing to light their weaknesses and showing off a myriad of ways to destroy/delay/avoid them. While many of these articles have valid information they all focus on the negatives of deathstars but I'm here to let you in on a little secret. All units have their negatives, that is why codecies generally support multiple competitive builds. So whilst deathstars have negatives they also have some very obvious and some less apparent positives that are sometimes downplayed or looked over.

Crynn’s Corner - The Movement Phase.


Hello all you aspiring master 40k generals and hello to all those whom in their own eyes have already achieved this state of enlightenment and now cast themselves high above the minions at their local gaming club. I greet you all as equals because essentially you all (including myself) paint tactical war dollies for fun.

Crynn's Corner - The Lord Inquisitor

The Lord Inquisitor

So I just wanted to make a little ‘spot’ on this blog for myself which I intend to mainly use as a space to write Warhammer 40k related tactica articles. Occasional I will throw in a personal modelling article or even something miscellaneous that pertains to 40k, which is what I want to quickly discuss today.

New Author - Crynn

Hey guys,

I’m Crynn – Chris, either is fine.

Firstly I’d like to thank Kirby for letting me contribute to this blog. Secondly I’d like to thank all those regular readers who come on the chatbawks and keep me entertained through my work breaks.

So a little about me for those very few who may actually give a fiddle. I’m Australian, 25, I work for a government organisation as a researcher but on the weekends I work as a singer and a topless barman at hen’s nights. I know none of that really goes together at all but hey, life would be boring if I did the same thing every day.

Mephiston & Grey Knights

Dakka

Can the Lord of Death strike fear into this new foe?

So I frequently hear about how Mephiston is just not what he used to be in an all comers list thanks to the abundance of new GK (Grey Knight) armies floating around. I have used Mephiston extensively in my competitive Blood Angels list since their codex came out and have had great success with him against a wide variety of armies and lists and I personally feel (and you are going to gawk when I say this) he is a largely misunderstood and miss used character. Now there have been many articles on the ‘Lord of Death’ but I am going to focus on adapting Mephiston to strike fear into the imperium’s golden boys and whether it can be done at all.
