Announcing: Tales of Battle

Tired of a magazine where their army lists are crap, tactics are total BS, and the army reports are contrived. Well, so am I.

Which is why I'm announcing the launch of a brand new Magazine, Tales of Battle.

This is Not another e-zine that will put out 2-3 issues and die out.

This is a real bi-monthly magazine that will be published and delivered into your hands for perusing.

Tales of Battle will be covering Independent Grand Tournaments and bring you pictures of great looking armies, tales of great battles and tactics you can take to the tabletop the next day.

The main feature, called Table One, will be a recreation of the round 5 battle on the top table of the GT. Would you want to miss a Jordan Braun vs Todd Thacker matchup, or The Bowman vs Touradj (the Dark General)? Not just a brief description, but a blow by blow description, with pictures, army lists, diagrams, comments from the players and more.

ToB will also include a full breakdown of my favorite army at the tournament along with an interview with the owner. Why he took what he did, how does it play, what are its strengths and weaknesses along with his painting and modeling tips.

There will be a whole lot more, so go check out http://www.talesofbattle.com/ for more details and how you can order your copy.

I expect for the first issue to hit the streets on March 31st and will be covering the Lone Wolf GT. With a price of only $5 (and that covers s&h and taxes) its less than a cost of one miniature.

I hope you guys can get behind this and help get this project off the ground.
