Early Access to All Stars Jerry Edition! 40k in 40m.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry...

Patrons, I hope you are pleased with yourselves. We asked you to give stats to the soon to be released God-busta Mega-stompa from Kromlech, which you did, and you knew we would unleash that thing on #yearofsteve, which we did. 

James Jones, Mr. Initiative, himself is in studio to pilot all things Orks and Space Marine Steve faces off against it with his Crimson Fists. I think. I honestly couldn't see anything on that table except the God-busta Mega-stom...

40k in 40m is back and this time Space Marine Steve takes on his arch nemesis

Over the course of many years and many clashes friendships and rivalries can form. Mike Bunz who you might remember from Season One has had Space Marine Steve's number and continues to challenge our favourite pilot of power armour for tabletop supremacy. 

Space Marine Steve brings his beautiful Astral Claws out again to try and exact revenge on Mike and his Aeldari.

Goal Achieved: Manta strike inbound! 1000 Patrons!

We did it! 1000 patrons!  Completely crazy.  When we started this we were never sure that people would like it let alone be dedicated enough to support us directly!  We are honoured and excited! 

We had a goal to reach 1000 patrons and if so, we all promised Nick that we would buy a Tau Manta as a incentive.  The biggest model that games workshop creates.   I think the team at the time didn't think we would actually reach that...

But then... trag...

Trying something different with YouTube Live

We are going to try again! In the spirit of Kill Team Challenger, Space Marine Steve has concocted a new premise for our YouTube Live Uncut show and it involves challenges. In this first one Space Marine Steve and T'au Nick must play their entire game of Warhammer 40k in 40 minutes, literally. 

This should be a lot of fun! For good measure we have also worked in some special rules around explosions.

We hope you can join us on Friday, August 27th at 12pm PST, 3pm EST, and 8pm ...

Early Access to Tyranids vs Ultramarines in a MASSIVE 4000 point game.

This is a BIG one! In this Death or Glory mission the Ultramarines must defend their base in a final stand against 4000 points of Tyranids who look to destroy and devour all that stand in their way.

JT built a custom board that represents a fortified Ultramarine base. The battlefield is completed with scatter terrain from Gamemat.eu.

ALL STARS Ep. 02 - Creating the Mission

The battle draws near! We are going to be filming the ALL STARS game on Monday Night! So close! I have taken into consideration the rules submitted for Gerry and a Homebrew Datasheet is going to be released to all of you so you can follow along with all of Gerry's shenanigans as he stomps his way through the game! 

HOWEVER! We still need to put together the game!

Kill Team Update: Sad News, Everyone

Hello, everyone. Space Marine Steve here.

I have some really sad news about the production of Kill Team Challenger: Season 2 - it has been cancelled. I'm sure that there are going to be many reactions to this news depending on how invested you were in the series, in me as a player, the concept, and as one of our fans.

I respect you all too much to give you some kind of corporate business answer, your standard press release kind of thing... I'm just going to hit you with the truth....
