Today’s picture is for the greater good however has 7th edition been great for the Tau I haven’t yet had chance to find out myself. I am however looking forward to doing so as I was getting bored of winning with my Tau don’t get me wrong winning is good but when you know pretty much whats going to happen each game it really takes the fun out of playing and is no challenge.
Well 7th Edition has finally been released over the weekend. Many people have had very different opinions on the new rule set, some have renounced the hobby altogether some have embraced the new rules and there are still some people picking splinters out of their bum from sitting on the fence.
Unfortunately Ben Jackson is one of the people who has sadly decided enough is enough for him although you wont see the last of his models as Jon and I will be borrowing some to post on the site from time to time as he is such a good painter.
Jon and I will still try to post as much as we can on the site. We would both like to thank Ben for all his hard work and commitment to chaptermasters.com over the years and hope he returns to the hobby in future.
http://darogscompany.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/gorkanaut.html?m=1 The Orks look like they are getting some new toys to go stomping with shortly as seen in the link above..Many Ork players must have felt left out at seeing The Tau get riptides. The Eldar get their Wraithknight. The Marines getting thier teletubbies sorry Centurians. The Tyranids getting all of thier nice new Monstrous creatures and the imperial titan knights all appearing before they got there hands on any thing new well her it is waagh!!! A mini stompa called a Gorkanaut or Morkanaut, that is of similar size to the Forgeworld mega dread but smaller than a Stompa as you can see the towering behemoth in the background behind it in the picture in the link. Does this mean the new Ork codex is just round the corner or will it be a one off sale?
This Necron army from armies on parade at Games day 2013 seems to be fighting among themselves for some reason, perhaps it’s because they are confused at the colour of their gauss blasters with the Death marks preferring blue compared to the green of the rest of the army.

I really liked the inclusion of a very old relic those of you that remember Warhammer 40,000 second edition will remember that the Orks had access to imperial weapon’s the plasma pistol seen above was one of such weapons that came with some of the Ork models.
In the bottom right hand corner of the board are some warriors that have crawled through the sewer to get inside the ruins after a Canoptek Wraith had burst its way through. their poses would almost make me feel like their metal skeletons could actually feel the cold as they appear to be shivering. it is however a good use of excess parts from the ghost/doomsday ark kit. as he has set his up as a dooms day ark as seen below.

I also like how the scarabs have been based, also the excellent use of terrain used acros the board with the imperial cities ruins kit been used the Sky shield landing pad and also a gun emplacement base. Well done to who ever put this army together.
This Blood angel Contemptor Dreadnought was entered into Games day 2013 Golden demon, in the Warhammer 40,000 vehicle category. The Dreadnought has been armed with two twin linked auto cannon. Behind the Blood Angel Dreadnought is a World Eaters Dreadnought, which has been armed with two power fists for brutal close range assault.
At the time of writing this post Games workshop have not yet released any details for Games days in 2014. This could this spell disaster for this years’ Golden Demon and Armies on parade. After the poor attendance and feedback some people are speculating that Games day may not go ahead in 2014.
Have you or anyone that you know started work on entry for either Golden Demon or Armies if Parade 2014? How will you feel if Games day 2014 doesn’t happen? One thing is certain the editor of Warhammer visions will have a harder job finding content for the magazine, as will we finding content for Chapter Masters.
