Defending Our Myths and Heroes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mythsandheroes/ Defending Our Myths And Heroes is dedicated to doing just that. Our mission is twofold. Part one: Preserving the image of what DMH considers to be our modern day myths. To us Batman and Superman are the modern day King Arthur. We do this with respecting the characters in every way we interpret them.

Necron Rumor Updates Short-term Stuff Necrons - January 2015 Minis: Clampack Necron Lord Clampack Cryptek Codex is described at "thick, almost Space Marine sized". Look for it to include lots of fluff, as well as many Lords of War & Formations (possibly some of the Apoc ones.) Medium-term Stuff Later in 2015, Necrons will star in a Campaign Book, alongside 3 additional kits (both reworks, and new kits) Vox Broadcast (Videos of the Week): We ain't done shit! New Recruits (Hobby Updates): · FatMAT Chapter Meeting (Q&A/Discussion): Shaun Russell: Very helpful video Adam, my question is; Would it be better to use a blood claw pack in a drop pod or Stormwolf if you had to choose? I know this can depend on how many points available and the army list your up against but I'd just like to hear your opinion on it. Shaun Russell Portsmouth, England P.S. Just listen to the last 3 pod cast in a row as I fell behind, I'm not falling behind ago as that was an intense 6 hours lol
