Warhammer 40k: Tau Army List
My Warhammer 40K Tau Army has been extremely successful lately, so I thought I’d share the 1000 point army list and discuss the tactics I was using. Continue reading

Warhammer Magic Guide: Lore of Light
The Lore of Light is a fairly defensive lore that focuses on Augments, with a couple of Magic Missiles and one Hex. Its focus on Augments makes it a Lore very focused on your troops, both in enhancing them and protecting them. The Lore of Light works best in conjunction with a solid understanding of tactical movement in Warhammer. Continue reading

Warhammer Magic Guide: Lore of Beasts
The Lore of Beasts has an interesting mix of spells. It primarily focuses on Augments, but also boasts two Magic Missiles and a Hex. It immediately offers itself as a fairly general spell list that can be played comfortably with and against pretty much any army.

Warhammer Magic Guide: Lore of Fire
The core magic Lores in the Warhammer rulebook are a lot more useful, and hence see a lot more play, with the changes in 8th Edition. In this post we’re looking at the Lore of Fire. The Lore of Fire is, unsurprisingly, focussed on delivering large amounts of fiery death to your opponent’s troops (or “dudes”). Most of its spells are direct damage, which is not necessarily a bad thing if that’s what you want.

iPhone app review: MineCraft Pro
The success of Minecraft has led to lots of iPhone apps trying to play on this success. MineCraft Pro is one of these… and unlike some of the other apps, it costs money. So naturally, I was extremely dubious about it. While it’s a reference app designed to be used whilst you play Minecraft on your computer the question remains: “Is it worth the price tag?”.

Star Wars RPG Saga Edition: Review, Resources, and More
If you’re a regular at Dice of Doom you’ll know about our “Gaming Experiment”: playing 12 different roleplaying games in as many months. Whilst we’re currently working through Rolemaster (…we’ll report on that if, afterwards, we’re still alive to tell the tale), the game before that was Star Wars Saga Edition, which I GM’d. Whilst the game isn’t exactly new, we hadn’t played it before, and were very excited. RPGs are awesome, Star Wars is awesome… what could go wrong? Continue reading
