For this week's review I want to have a butchers at <a href="http://www.tabletopworkshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">Tabletop Workshop</a> and the fantastic 28mm buildings they have on offer.</div>
<br />
First of all let me introduce you to the box covers. This'll give you a 
good understanding of the quality of the finished product.<br />

The picture above shows the two beside one another and demonstrates just how much larger the chapel is alongside the cottage.<br />

<h4>
Detail</h4>
As you can see from the images below the individual sections of the  
buildings are expertly designed, from the bricks and walls all the way  
down to the wood grain it's easy to be impressed by the level of detail 
 that the design team put in.<br />

<h4>
The Packaging</h4>
I'm not one to reinvent the wheel and noticed it's usual for people to 
display the packaging products arrive in. Like many before this specific
 terrain arrived in a box.<br />
<br />
I decided to make the diorama more exciting with the addition of Chalky the Hip Hop Snowman taking a nap.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

<h4>
Assembly</h4>
This is the bit where you tip your <span style="font-size: x-small;">hat </span>at the ingenuity of the design.<br />
<br />
Assembling the buildings is easier than scratching your arse (no offence
 to quadriplegics and fat chicks who can't reach). Each building comes 
with simple click together instructions that actually means you can (if 
transport space is sparse) transport the buildings incomplete and clip 
them together when you arrive.<br />

When all the pieces are in place and held together you'll find the 
buildings are strong enough to stand together without glue. Having said 
that, when you're happy with the build I'd suggest dosing it with some 
polystyrene cement anyway to stop the pieces flopping around in transit 
and chipping away at the paint.<br />
<br />
<h4>
A Tip</h4>
If you decide to use glue try gluing three walls solid and leaving one 
single removable wall. This'll make it easier to move troops around 
inside. If ET (or someone with long fingers) is in your gaming group 
ignore this tip.<br />

<b>The Chapel</b></h4>
I decided to cut my teeth on Terrain painting with the Chapel. The

<h4>
Conclusions</h4>
I think that sums up everything I can think of regarding this set of 
uber terrain. Now, one small factor that might detract from the pikeys 
amongst you - the price. Coming in at £20 for the cottage and £22 for 
the Chapel they may be deemed a little expensive.<br />
<br />
BULLSHIT I cry! For a score you get a fantastic, expertly designed piece
 of terrain that's ever lasting, virtually impossible to break and looks
 good. The price reflects the quality in my humble worthless opinion.<br />

Escalation and Sisters of Battle

THE PRO CLUB MANAGER 0 40k, bayonet, Editorial, News 12/11/2013

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf6Nj-T6hby9RQwqFFIRuKu1zTkUZlPcx4aifTYuDZ5JNMCW1pCf_x2CtBG7IzT7yNTHgjU2QS5c2qHez50AjVSLHrmWAYz8OWyvGu5IkpPR4FaNbPrNMpBJriPKegTMt_D-lM5-gy-8Mr/s1600/dancingrobots.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf6Nj-T6hby9RQwqFFIRuKu1zTkUZlPcx4aifTYuDZ5JNMCW1pCf_x2CtBG7IzT7yNTHgjU2QS5c2qHez50AjVSLHrmWAYz8OWyvGu5IkpPR4FaNbPrNMpBJriPKegTMt_D-lM5-gy-8Mr/s640/dancingrobots.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So if you didn't know, Sisters aren't in the Escalation book. At all...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>Well, okay I really didn't expect that to come as a shock to anyone because, assuming you read my <a href="http://www.talkwargaming.com/2013/12/review-escalation.html" target="_blank">review of Escalation</a>
 that is, you already know that the book doesn't have anything for the 
Sisters of Battle. If that was a shock, well then....Surprise!<br />
  <br />
Now I know there isn't a huge market there for this all metal army that I
 for some reason continue to play despite attempting to start new armies
 (I swear, I'm only slightly addicted to the idea of bad-ass women whose
 faith is so powerful it actually let's them shrug off wounds that 
should kill them), but at the same time I really think that there are a 
number of Superheavies that could have worked, even if it was just 
giving the nuns with guns access to the Baneblade options, so not seeing
 anything was a small let down.<br />
<br />
After thinking it over for a couple of days, I went ahead and contacted 
GW's Customer Service and mentioned my disappointment in this oversight,
 especially considering the book has this in it's product description on
 the site (emphasis mine):<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Warhammer 40,000: Escalation contains full rules for adding super-heavy 
vehicles and gargantuan creatures to<b> every</b> Warhammer 40,000 army. </blockquote>
So much for "every" army, eh?<br />
<br />
I mentioned my dislike of the way it really doesn't feel completely 
honest and that I was a little dissapointed in this ommision.<br />
<br />
Yes, Internet, I was only disappointed. Not mad, not frothing at the 
mouth, not even slighted, just a little bummed that they didn't even get
 a nod there.Did it honestly surprised? Not really. This kind of thing 
happens enough that it's not really a shock and frankly it's just one of
 those things you expect anymore when you play Sisters. <br />
<br />
So they got back with me within a day, and here's the response I got from Customer Service:<br />

</blockquote>
Now I know some of you out there are rolling your eyes at the part about
 passing along the comments, but having dealt with these guys before, 
and having talked to a couple of people better internally connected than
 myself, they really do pass this stuff along. Every little thing really
 does get sent along. Does it get used? Not so much, but they do try to 
relay what we say.<br />
<br />
I did find a little humor in the idea of a Sisters of Battle Thunderhawk
 , and I've heard another person say that pretty much anything in the 
game was <i>basically</i> fair game (I'm betting conversions and 
opponent permitting of course), and if that was the case I'd say the 
Unbound C'Tan option would make one heck of a scary Living Saint. People
 think Celestine was a monster before? Imagine her with the damage she 
could do as that thing and you'll find even her Codex: White Dwarf 
version quite tame in comparison.<br />
<br />
Now obviously this still relies on your opponent agreeing to these 
options, just like any good case of house rules, but the suggestion is 
there for those who want it. It's at least a leg up over where the 
Sisters are at the moment, and gives me an option to put my Sororitas 
Stormlord on the table (well. it's still a normal Stormlord, but I am 
looking at ways to add to it to make it feel more appropriate for 
Sisters. I'm thinking about a thousand purity seals...).<br />
<br />
So unless a Dataslate or Errata comes it looks like we're waiting to see
 what Forgeworld offers everyone's favorite sci-fi nuns with guns. Who 
knows, maybe they'll get a Titan. If that happened I may get motivated 
to start a little build log in making one from scratch.<br />
<br />
We'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

Hordes on the Table Top are a pain in my arse - let's just get that one out in the open.<br />
<br />
The only thing more demoralizing than seeing 140 well spread out 
Guardsmen across the table is probably 6 flyers - but only just.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>I sit there scratching my head thinking, why, why 
would you play such a bland army? There's no awesome heroes of legend in
 there, just a bargain bucket HQ option. There's no awesome squad of 2+ 
elites in there with combi-shittydeathrays - there's just lots of Orks, 
or Cultists or Guardsmen.<br />
<br />
After I've got over the lack of character I then think Logistics, Christ
 that's over a hundred models (atleast) that you've had to paint, the 
same thing over and over again. To make things worse you've already 
eroded my will to exist by making me stare vacantly at a wall for an 
hour wishing my life away because that's how long it took you to unpack 
and place (always spread out I might add so I can't pie plate you to 
death) all of those frigging Ork Shoota Boyz.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL_iPj2ogOla9eTx8Xyt1BN6S1_9rtl5XqIArJ-FQlRHr_89Kfr0s5BhlWMT0d553rlztQ6DkNIuDK-IZqATv5t2czRyXHaBiK1_B1NVfOVuBt3khyphenhyphenrWwMZNXWvUTIiaxdeFH7IIWrbQ6F/s1600/Russia+Horde.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL_iPj2ogOla9eTx8Xyt1BN6S1_9rtl5XqIArJ-FQlRHr_89Kfr0s5BhlWMT0d553rlztQ6DkNIuDK-IZqATv5t2czRyXHaBiK1_B1NVfOVuBt3khyphenhyphenrWwMZNXWvUTIiaxdeFH7IIWrbQ6F/s1600/Russia+Horde.jpg" width="320" /></a>But
 by Turn 3 I already see the appeal, even if I hit and wounded every 
single time with all the boltguns, frag missiles, plasma guns and other 
things in my Space Wolves arsenal, I still couldn't table you - now 
that's a powerful statement. That even with astronomical luck where 
every dice was perfect, you'd still be there annoying the shit outta me.<br />
<br />
On paper I mock your 5+ to hit and wound, but then I see your ice cream 
tub full of dice you brought with you and howl in dismay as through 
sheer volume of rolls you whittle down my expensive, fully tooled up 
Grey Hunters pack in a single turn of shooting. That's right, the Grey 
Hunters pack so heavily tooled up for Close Combat they'd give almost 
every other Troops choice out there a good spanking, the same hardened 
veterans that are now raped by your 40 dice overwatch before they even 
lay a chainsword on you.<br />
<br />
It's tempting at times to think "actually, this is pretty cool" and why 
wouldn't it be? This is like what we see on the front of our armies 
Codex isn't it? A Chaos Lord stood atop a mountain of bodies raining 
shitty death into hordes of Guardsmen. That is until he gets brought 
down by a Sergeant with a Powerfist - you rarely read about that in the 
Black Library books, Sergeant Sandbag slapping the head off of a 10000 
year old Lord of Chaos.<br />

Sure your opponents horde army is slow, they're all on foot after all. 
But they don't need to be fast, they hold the key to most victories - 
Domination of the ground. They start off spread across their whole table
 edge at the start of the game and they can easily plod around absorbing
 missiles and flame templates until they sit on their objective of 
choice and spend the rest of the game jizzing dice everywhere. The only 
way you can hope to defeat them is to spam template weapons of your own 
but in a Tournament setting that means your List is geared for one 
particular army type and will likely get raped against others.<br />
<br />
 One things for certain, if you play a Horde army - you probably had to 
make very little changes to your lists from 5th Edition to 6th Edition 
WH40k.<br />
 <br />
<br />
So do you play a Horde army? Share with us your weaknesses. Or are you 
particularly good at nailing Hordes but without sacrificing the 
integrity of your army? Then let me know your secrets. What about Hordes
 in other game systems, do they fair as well as they do in 40k?<br />

How To Make Pores Smaller

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are you looking for a solution to make your pores smaller? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://acnescarsrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/best-acne-spot-treatment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" id="irc_mi" src="http://acnescarsrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/best-acne-spot-treatment.jpg" style="margin-top: 108px;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Join the queue. Enlarged pores are a major point of contention for millions of people and commonly contribute to severe outbreaks of acne. Why is this? It’s simple really, pimples and blackheads are caused when the walls of your pores stick together. Usually this is from trapped sebum and other foreign bacteria that get stuck and cause clogged pores.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So how can you reduce big pores?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
It isn’t always possible to reduce the appearance and completely eliminate the visibility of pores, however, you can shrink them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These simple steps should help.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ol>
<li><b>Use a Pore Mask.</b> You can use a product called Rhassoul Clay and mix it with a touch of aloe vera juice, a squeeze of lemon juice and a green tea. The clay tightens the skin of the face and helps to purify your skin. Green tea of course is world renowned for its multiple benefits. It’s antioxidant packed nature really benefits the skin and helps to heal.</li>
<li><b>Eat plenty of citrus fruits.</b> Yes you heard it, get plenty of orange and lemon down your neck as it produces firm skin and helps the collagen formation processes of your skin pores. This is one of the least known and most effective ways to make pores smaller.</li>
<li><b>Steam your pores.</b> Steaming your skin will help to ease open the pores and flush out the bacteria and toxins trapped within. Just be careful not to scald your skin, nothing is worse than enlarged pores except burned large pores – remember, we want to make pores smaller not cook them off! The process for steam cleaning your skin is very simple, grab a large bowl, pour in some hot water and hang your face and a towel over the top. Allow the warm vapours to caress your pores for several minutes. You will literally feel the pores relax and flush out with the condensation from the steam. Once you’ve steamed your skin give your face a wash and apply some lemon and pineapple juice to your pores.  The lemon has a natural enzyme that really helps to make pores smaller. You will feel them tighten and shrink after application.</li>
<li><b>You should also purchase pore refining products. </b>There are several great products available, from companies such as Neutrogena, Clean and Clear or Clinique. Just check out some skin pore refinining product reviews to find which is your preferred.  </li>
