To be honest when the latest edition of 40k came out I was quite upset with the major changes that
GW made compared to the previous version. Gone were many of the the unique items and wargear. No
more Psychic phase and movement for the individual races was non existent. But since I run all the GW
games at the Sentry Box here in town I soon grew to like the new W40K (although I still have the
occasional game of the 2nd edition) and its back on the top of my favorite games. Below are
links to images of some of the armies I am presently collecting. Missing are my Chaos, Space Wolves
and Blood Angels which I work on as much as I can. I appreciate any feedback and I will try to get
some better images as soon as possible.
In the previous version the Eldar were definitely my favorite army because of their versatility and
great variety of weapons, troops and Psychic abilities. In the 3rd edition the Eldar are still one of my
favorites but I've grown to enjoy playing the Tyranids more often and with the release of their codex
and fantastic new models (except maybe the Carnifex) they're sure to see battle more than any of my
other armies. The Space Wolves are slowly getting started and my Ork horde of 3000 points is nearing
completion. More images will surely arrive soon and tactics for some of the armies will be posted to, so
keep checking here periodically.
Oct. 15/01: The new Tau army has definitely a unique feel to it and some of the new models are great
and some are ok. This army has allot of weaknesses that can be easily exploited by opponents who get
to know this army. Unfortunately I think many players will have to do the inevitable and that is build up
their arsenal of Battle suit units. These units will give most players the best chance of survival and Andy
Chambers noted this right in the beginning of the Codex. The Tau warriors will be pathetic in hand to
hand combat and even though the Kroot have a few small advantages they won't survive much longer.
With total lack of power weapons or any that remove a models save this army will have a really hard time
with power armor or those with good saves. Even the Battle Suits won't fair much better and what may
help them is the 4+ invulnerable save they can have which I am sure every player will have included.
This is an army that asks to have a big variety of units from all the selections you have, the basic troop
in my opinion will never win you a game unless you get really lucky or at least outfit the units to the max
and there isn't that many things you can add to your standard troop selections. So remember you will be
wanting some of those expensive Battle Suit figures if you want to have a good chance in your battles.
I know I will have quite a few of them and that's not because I want to win all the time ( many know I
don't any ways) but I like to have fun and fair games.

Updated Sep.6/04 : Well 4th edition is here and I think GW has done a great job of cleaning
up the rules and adding new elements to an already sound gaming system. The rule book is
just filled with extras, like painting, modeling, terrain building and lots of scenarios. Even
though I was hoping to see some of the 2nd edition come back into the game it's still good
to have a clean set of rules and it does flow quite nicely. Now I will just have to figure out the
best way to use all my armies with the updated changes.
Updated Feb.5/07 : Added an image of one of my new Hive Tyrants with wings.
Updated Feb.17/07 : Added some images of my Space Wolves on the Space Marines page.*
