What’s up, you absolute nerds. Nerd Prime here to say, this game is sick. I feel like I’ve had some core aspect of my identity absolutely rocked over the last couple weeks. Since I was a kid I remember poring over the books that came in the Starcraft Battle Chest for hours, and I wasContinue reading “Terran (Raynor’s Raiders) vs Zerg (Zerg Swarm) Beta Batrep!”

Khalai Protoss vs Raynor’s Raiders Terran Beta Batrep
Well well well. It has been a minute, hasn’t it. I’ve got a bit of a train of thought I’d like to go into about the Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game, but we’ll get to that. For the moment, I knew one thing for certain: I needed to try this game as soon as possible. ThankfullyContinue reading “Khalai Protoss vs Raynor’s Raiders Terran Beta Batrep”
Nords vs. City States Two Player Starter Set Review
It’s time again, my friends, for a new release from Para Bellum Wargames! These are always exciting times, as no company I’ve run across so consistently improves its product quality like Para Bellum on a release by release basis.

Exalt the Dark Gods: Chaos Marine Prayers
Prayers are a powerful tool in the arsenal of armies that have them, and Chaos Space Marines make extremely good use of them. The Dark Apostle has become a staple in competitive Chaos Space Marine play, with his highly consistent 2+ prayers and of course access to some powerful options (yeah, we’ll talk about THATContinue reading “Exalt the Dark Gods: Chaos Marine Prayers”
Seeking the Sea Jotnar
About a month ago, Para Bellum posted a little surprise to their youtube channel. This absolutely beautiful bastard is the Sea Jotnar, an awaited Nord monster thats been in the works for a while, it would seem. Obviously I’m immensely excited for the model; the Ice Jotnar is easily among my favorite models in ParaContinue reading “Seeking the Sea Jotnar”
The Order of the Crimson Tower
So the Order of the Crimson Tower are up for pre-order. When I first picked up Hundred Kingdoms, the Orders are definitely a big part of what appealed to me initially. For one, I’m just a big fan of these paladin-esque knightly order type organizations in fantasy settings. For another… uh… dope horses? Dope horses.Continue reading “The Order of the Crimson Tower”
Breaking Down the Word Bearers
After jumping around a number of Chaos factions for some time, I have to say Chaos Space Marines really hooked me in a way the other factions haven’t so far. While most of my time initially was spent with Black Legion, I decided I wanted to experiment a little bit with other legions and seeContinue reading “Breaking Down the Word Bearers”
Brewing Up a Monster
As a kid, I collected tabletop roleplaying rulebooks. Rifts, the Lord of the Rings TTRPG, Spycraft, Shadowrun, Exalted, Vampire: The Masquerade, you name it… but few books stuck with me more than the 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons core rulebooks I picked up when I was young. Of those three books, the most exciting ofContinue reading “Brewing Up a Monster”
Trolls: Learning Nords
Nords are a diverse faction when it comes to ‘types’ of creatures you can bring to bear. We’ve all seen the brutal Jotnars on the table, acting as a massive hammer to bring down on your opponents forces in the later game. Ugr make for a reasonably solid, more elite choice with high damage andContinue reading “Trolls: Learning Nords”
On Writing Worlds: The Reverse Timeline Approach
There’s a point in many a GM’s life where they sit down and decide to write something entirely from scratch. This could be a story within an existing setting all the way to an entire new world, and each comes with their own challenges to overcome. Sometimes just getting started is the hardest part, asContinue reading “On Writing Worlds: The Reverse Timeline Approach”
