Competitive Innovations in 9th: Grand Showdown pt.2

Welcome back to part 2 of this week's column, looking at what I think is a Friday record of 6 events (after shuffling to make space for the US Open Showdowns on Wednesday). We're going to be straight into...

The Horus Heresy Legion Focus: Ultramarines

Here's the pitch: Heresy-era Ultramarines are awesome. A combined ops force with powerful flexibility, units that can out-shoot and out-fight everything else, a Primarch who can slug it out with the best of them, and absolutely stellar background. The Avenging Son is after you Horus, and he's goddamn furious.

Army Showcase: Charlie’s Ultramarines Successors

Finishing your own army is core to the Warhammer 40,000 hobby. In our Army Showcase series, Goonhammer contributors take a look at the armies we’ve been collecting for years, and the new ones we’ve just finished – what drew us to...

TheChirurgeon’s Road Through 2022, Part 17: Slinging Ultramarines at an RTT

TheArmorofContempt is on the warpath, headed for Adepticon after two consecutive years of cancellation. If you missed part 1 of his series, you can find it here.  One of the best aspects of Adepticon is that there is basically an...

The Horus Heresy: the Battle of Armatura and World Eaters Red Hand Destroyers

The Armatura campaign holds a special place in my heard as its one of the core settings of Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s Betrayer, one of the best novels Black Library has released. Indeed, the only stain upon its honour is that...

Army Showcase: Musterkrux’s Ultramarines 5th Company

The Painter: Musterkrux The Game: Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition Points: 2,000 (and change) Faction: Ultramarines (with a dash of Deathwatch) Collecting Since: The start of 8th Edition (spot the Dark Imperium models...)

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Global Waaaagh pt.1

OK, so the new bit here is that seemingly every other week I need to introduce this column with "it's the biggest week yet for Competitive Innovations" because it is, again. This week we've got ten events from around the...
