Horus Heresy: Horus' Stats

Horus: Probably an 'after' pic.

While I'm more interested in the impending arrival of the Chaos book I am keeping a weather eye on the Horus Heresy supplement that Forge World are doing. Well, I was until I saw that the first book in the series, Betrayal, came with a price tag of £70. That's about €90 which will get me plenty of Cultists or more likely, enable me to go halves on both the Hordes starter and Dark Vengeance in order to get the factions that I want (Legion and Chaos respectively).

Anyway, I've still got enough interest in the Horus Heresy (thanks to the growing heap of books and audiobooks released) to have a sconce at the rules for Legions and their Primarchs. Specifically the Phoenician and his Legion before they become depraved psychopaths. His rules are available elsewhere but it would seem the gobshite that started it all has been hiding out. Proper order, as the loyalist Legions will be on their way for him soon.

Stormy's ASS: The Tork Bow

Purdy Trukk stolen from the internets.

Welcome again to my ASS (Army Specific Shenanigans) and this time to the antics that have been unleashed with the latest FAQ answers dealing with Fast Vehicles. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Tork Bow (I may not have created it but I can damn well name it).*

Named for a weapon that a buddy loves to wield in his obsession (Gears of War 2) this follows the same principle as the one in the computer game: take aim and loose a missile that will lodge itself in an enemy and take them out with an explosive detonation.

There is one additional dimension to the 40k Tork Bow.

Stormy's A.S.S.: Casting Jaws into Combat. Update. Again.

I googled Ass demotivators and this was the only one SFW .

Hello and welcome for the fourth time (yes, really) or Army Specific Shenangians and what I hope will be an irregular addition to the blog that appears every so often when someone discovers a tactic or rules loophole that makes you wish you'd spotted it for yourself beforehand. FAQ's tend to have a hand in this stuff cropping up though, so expect an article after one is released to the masses.

The stuff I'm hoping to bring to light is mainly for use in competitive games in tournaments and such, so springing it on your friends might result in you getting your A.S.S. handed to you. Or being heckled by the crowd of onlookers that invariably gathers when the game suddenly becomes very interesting.

Like it does in Other Realms (my LGS) where I took the pics. Thanks for the help with the camera Nathan.
