The Living Card Guy: Warhammer 40,000 Conquest Deck Review -The Demolished Throne

Warhammer 40,000 Conquest Deck Review To start off I know the picture is of the Emperor, but a corpse god sitting in a defamed throne is exactly what this deck aims to accomplish. Today I want to do my first deck review! I built a Warhammer 40,000 Conquest  deck using Smasha Gun Battery […]


Boxed Culture: Trading Books for Boards

Trading Books for Boards I have a bimonthly table top RPG group. We have run through many different pen and paper RPG systems. From Dungeons &Dragons 4th edition to Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, we have played and learned a lot. The main problem we run into is that table top RPG rule […]
