Ahem *taps mic*.... THOUSAND SONS CODEX!

We are stupidly excited and race against time (you'd think we'd learn by now but Ahriman's stubborness rubs off on us) to pump out a Codex: army review for those chomping at the bit. This is Kenny's current--and favorite--40K army and Shawn loves them too. 

So here is part 1: the mechanics, rules, stratagems. As this goes up pre-orders have already begun in the east and you can and should start pre-ordering your Sons (and Tzaangors) of Magnus. We will be back again next week for the remainder of the review, which will cover the lore and art/design of the book...plus a few games played using this new book.

Rise up into the lower enumerations and enjoy the show!

Sorry Perturabo, we ran out of time and will stroke your ego next week. :)
