The Weekly Top X - Vitamin A(wesome)

Proper nutrition is super important for many reasons.  But it can be hard to get.  So today I'm fortifying today's Top X with a massive dose of the oft overlooked but no less important supplements - Vitamin Awesome.  Just make sure you make it past the 1:25 mark so you can properly absorb it all.




All right, now it's time for the REALLY important stuff.

The Weekly Top X

1) The Shell Case- Why Do We Bother With Rumors?
It's a good question and a fair question.  And a well written post that deservedly need to float to the top of the 6th edition hullabaloo. Here's another question for ya:  does this post answer that question?  You'll have to read it to find out.

2) Whelpslayer - DiY: Recessed Bases
Recessed bases are a petty rad thing for when you really want to go crazygonuts on a basing project.  You can buy them, of course.  But you can also make them for much cheaper.  Probably with things you already have laying around.  If only we had a tutorial on that...



3) The Hogs of War - Reflections on Wargaming Abroad
One of the main problems with we have when it comes to comparing gaming groups across cultures is the simple fact of geography.  Sure you can get an American dude and a British dude to talk about their own local experiences, but until they actually play a real, in person game together it's all just so much theory.  So here's a post from the Hogs of War that I hereby awared the coveted: "House of Paincakes Awared for Excellence in the Field of Comparative Wargaming".

4) 3++ is the New Black - Paint an army in 2 weeks - this is madness... THIS IS ORK HORDE!
Rupert is crazier than a shit house rat.  This post is proof of that.  I'm really at a loss for words here.

5) Tentakel Games - Jervis Johnson Versus the Opulence
Dethtron sez: Contemplative, concise, and seemingly accurate breakdown of the state of 40K without being a whining, rambling bitch fest. Also offers a unique perspective on a universally hated codex.

6) Team Snake Eyes - No Chapter For Old Men: Local League game 1 of 5
Lets see here...  Well painted army:  check.  Excellent description of a thought process:  check.  Well written prose:  check.  Crazy ass premise:  check.

7) Defending Humanity - Adepticon 2012: The Battle for Piscina IV
8) Defending Humanity - Adepticon 2012: The Battle for Piscina IV, Part 2
One of the many, many reasons I think that I enjoy Adepticon so much (even if it is only a contact high) is all the great stories that come out of the event.  These posts about the narrative event are no exception and shed some light on feature of the con that I didn't know a whole hell of a lot about.
