Hey, writers of the Shard. I've got a first draft of a chapter I'd like y'all to beta read. It's a continuation, of sorts, of a slightly-dead fanfic called For Those We Cherish that explores what would happen if Warhammer 40k met RWBY. First drafts are always terrible, so don't try to spare my feelings. Please let me know if you have any questions. And yes, it is a fanfiction of a fanfiction. No, I don't care if you judge me. Shove off.

So who plays tabletop miniature games here? If you do what do you currently play, and what would you like to play but don't? If you don't why not, and do you do anything else like paint miniatures, or play more common games like magic? To answer my own question I currently play Warlord from Reaper mini. It is a great little game with an easy tactical skirmish rules setup. In the recent past I would play Battletech but many of the people in charge, and site moderators need to focus on the game more. Well? How about you guys?

I'll be posting units here whenever I manage to come up with halfway decent stats. Commentary and criticism are not only welcome but requested. And probably necessary. First up are Devastator Marines Dustbringers Cost: 100 Points.
