It’s not at all easy to be a warrior princess in the forty first millennium these days. Some of the other eras are tough too, but today we’re looking at Warhammer 40k and it’s sad lack of female models where there should not be a lack. Tau, Eldar and the Imperium of Man are all composed of binary races (that still occupy their original bodies, Necron lovers) and have fluff that state that both races fight on the battlefield, but the miniature line doesn’t reflect that very well for some.

The New Digs
In December, GorkyMorkyGurl and I made the move south to the Gulf Coast. We love our new fortification and it’s proximity to the water, but there is one small change from our rental in Georgia; we no longer have a gigantic bonus room. When we moved in we found that the rental house had once had a garage that had been enclosed and it made a near perfect studio space. Spoiled, we ladies were, and though I wouldn’t trade this house for anything, we do miss being able to spread out with our hobbies.
I’m working on building up some Dark Eldar (hopefully this was obvious) allies for my Iybraesil forces.

I acquired this model some time back and have begun the work to bring her to the table just recently.
This has got to be the coolest Ork photo in history!
Of course lately the Warhammer 40k news is the soon released Ork Codex. The models so far have been pretty good, and I know that a certain someone here at home is quite tickled with what’s been released each week. We even stopped by a GW store yesterday on our way out of town to pick up the latest White Dwarf, and wound up coming away with one of the new Mek Guns as well. They’re quite well done, and not as big as I thought originally. I was worried that they would dwarf the existing big gun models. There have been …other things purchased as well. There’s quite an arsenal forming in the studio. Continue Reading
The new Imperial Guard codex(es) is right around the corner and with it some new sculpts and entirely new models. One of these is the Taurox and at first it was a bit repulsive to me, looking more orky than Imperial. But along came better leaked photos, and that gave us a much clearer image of this new interesting vehicle. Now, seeing it better, I’ve decided that it’s not terrible bad, excepting those weird mini-treads, and set out to find some vague idea of what rules will be for it. Continue Reading
