If you identify with the concept, especially if you're putting out new ideas, feel free to use Colonel Kane's 40K OSR logo - to the right.
If you do, consider crediting the Colonel and adding Tales from the Maelstrom to your roll,
as one of the great 40K and gaming blogs.

So what does this week bring?
Fresh approaches, a scenario and battle report, conversions, brand new rules and original writing, as well as some comment and reflection, all in that order. Plenty.
Fresh approaches, a scenario and battle report, conversions, brand new rules and original writing, as well as some comment and reflection, all in that order. Plenty.
- Martin at Fire Broadside! shows a way forward with plans for Necromunda using the AE Bounty ruleset and minis including the Pig Iron Kolony Ferals.
- Mik at Mik's Minis is on the same track re rules, but with SuperSystem; his thinking on 'UN40K' is here. He gives us a scenario with background and briefings for the Imperials - Dark Angels and IG - and the aliens - Tau and Orks - following up with the battle itself, using the alternative ruleset.
- Mordian 7th Regiment has some converted adeptus custodes terminators...
- ... and Ron at From the Warp shows us how to do it for power armour.
- Staying with conversions, Lantz has a striking adeptus mechanicus cult abomination at The Magnet Pro, another entry in his AdMech FanDex.
- Hungry Ghosts has more inspirational converting at his blog, as ever a spot-the-bit contest from across Citadel history; this time it's an undead Khornate Squat-genestealer hybrid. Something for many there, if not all.
- Getting back to rules, sonsoftaurus has been working on Codex: Lost and the Damned and given us entries for two units, stalk tanks and operatives.
- Bix at The Veil's Edge has more material for the Blood Drinkers Fandex, this time round chapter organisation. I mentioned the post in this week's summary of the strange new worlds blogroll, but it's relevant here too.
- Thanks to jabberjabber at Warpstone Flux I got to read an alternative history for the Dark Angels published at The Bolter and Chainsword.
- N Wright over at Lawful Indifferent explains a dislike of space marines, at least in the context of 40K roleplay, a post with strong language; wargamers are forgiven, and Bix certainly is for the depth of personality in the chapter.
- Strong language at FightingFantasist too, in a farewell to GW metals.
If you think anything else should be in here, just go right ahead and leave the links.

How are you my friend! Been very busy at the moment. Have not had my own computer for a while. Nice to see you have 195 followers!
Hello and welcome back! I hope this does mean you'll be back blogging. There's been a certain something lacking round here, that suave dash and derring-do.
I'm fine, starting to get busy again too - I'll bet you got plenty done while offline. I keep looking at the space a break would give me. Even if it's great fun, blogging and reading blogs can get quite distracting, and time flies by. That 195 has snuck up on me. Doesn't seem so long ago it was 100, or even the low two digits..!
More thanks for another mention Porky & a brief apology for my lack of prescence these last few months. I'm trying to play catch up with blog stalwarts like your good self, whose output knows no bounds; whilst returning the Edge to some semblance of productivity.
All the best.
Bix
No trouble at all and no need to apologise! I look forward to linking more even, but to your schedule, whatever it is.
As for the output here, it does know bounds more's the pity, although not in ideas I hope, just time. Too much to do!
