Pre-6th Edition Thoughts

I have been thinking.  A very dangerous endeavor for me.  There are so many ways the rumored 6th edition rules could impact my Imperial Guard armies.  I will use the 91st Steel Legion as an example of good things to come.

Vehicles
Vehicles can possibly shoot at 2+ targets.  My immediate impression is that my Chimeras just got better.  I can hose a unit that got too close with my hull mounted heavy flamer while popping off shots at a light vehicle or a monstrous creature with my multi-laser turret.  After all of that I get to have the unit inside shoot.  While this isn't game breaking it does help with my chimera build's diverse capabilities albeit only if it doesn't move.  Then again if I get heavy stubbers mounted we are back in business.  My Vendettas, Leman Russ' Battle Tanks, Manitcores, and Basilisks are going to have a field day with multi-targeting rules.  Although I think I am still hitting only one target with a Manticore barrage.  Rolling BS to hit with a 5" template and the rest of the following templates from the Manticore will be very nice.

Warhammer 40K... 6th Edition

Change is good.  I truly believe that.  Change tests the limits of what a long standing game edition can handle as it evolves with time.  Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition was a failure and as such I transitioned to the Pathfinder series of RPG gaming.  Plus its all available for purchase on my iPad.  That is a huge bonus.  While Warhammer 40K 5th edition is very fun there is a definite transition that has been evolving as each new army book comes out.  The Warhammer 40K game as it stands has too many optional rules and quirky game elements that can be simply explained as poor based on the time the army or general game based rule was instituted compared to the newer elements of the game that have expanded on the 40K environment in an often game changing level.

I tend not to complain about army rules...I hope.  I think 40K is fair for everyone but there is undeniable evidence that some armies need to do some crazy list building just to remain competitive in top tier tournaments.  I am predominantly an Imperial Guard player.  I have a plethora of options for my army, although I do hate that everyone says stay in your tanks about my troop squads but it is decent advice, and so I am confident I can remain competitive in the current game system.  This brings me to the rumored 6th edition 40K.

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition?

Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition broke the following of D&D into 4 groups?  I myself am a Pathfinder fan.  Much better bang for my buck.  The books are on my iPad for an affordable price.  The miniatures are cool.  They have maps and modules galore.  I like it a lot so the evolution of D&D 5th edition makes me wonder if I will be a Pathfinder player still.  Has the term D&D died, or will it rise like a phoenix from the ashes of residual WoW madness and interference to become king once more to its once true and loyal followers.

I await in hopes that I will be impressed, and yet I am skeptical.

The 91st Steel Legion Infantry Regiment "Desert Vultures"

Here they are in all of their glory.  I was missing a Leman Russ that is being fitted for a Demolisher cannon and I have 4 Vendettas and 4 Valkyries that I can always add along with Steel Legion storm troopers squads in each.  I can also convert the Stormlord into a Shadowsword when I need to.  Without further ado I am proud to finally show the 91st Steel Legion... and the clutter from me moving stuff around the room just to get the table setup.

Steampunk Art

I am a big fan of Steampunk so naturally I search for images that inspire me to write Steampunk stories.  Here is what I came up with today.  I thank the internet and the people with much better imaginations than mine for this bounty.
