Napoleon Total War
I have always been a fan of the Total War franchise, but in my opinion none of them have been all that great. Good and fun in most cases, sure.. but great? Eh not really.. All of them have had their share of issues of which Napoleon TW shares some of them.. NTW is by far the most refined version so far and a lot of fun but, I’m not quite sure it peeks the “great” meter just yet.. I will say its pretty darn good and a lot of fun though..
Totally worth the price as it’s clear to me that Creative Assembly (the developers) are getting better at their craft but the game has one staggering short fall that it shares with all it’s siblings; Horrible AI.

So I prefer Warhammer Fantasy to 40k.. I just think the rules are better, and the game as a whole has a lot of tactics and strategy to it, where as 40k is written more for the kids to be a fast paced shoot’em’up style game. I still play 40k, but I prefer fantasy..
I also believe in having multiple armies for your game.. I have two 40k armies; Tau and Orks. I like them both and am not really looking to change them.. But right now I only really have one fantasy army; Skaven. I love my rats, but I want to find another army to play and have been looking for a while.. I tried Ogre’s and I tried Tomb Kings but really didn’t get into them. I have a lot of TK stuff painted up and I very much like the models and the lore, but for whatever reason the TK army just doesn’t excite me.. The Ogre’s never even got that far..
So I’m back on the hunt and I think I have settled on getting a Daemons of Chaos list going.

Skaven
I have been a Skaven player since the early 1990′s. They were the second fantasy army I got into after Orcs & Goblins. Once I found the blessing of the horned rat however, my love of all things green didn’t last very long.. The Skaven were here to stay! I love these little guys.. Primarily because back then they were as damaging and deadly to themselves as they were to anyone else..
Later revisions of the Skaven codex very much removed a good portion of the wild and whacky from the army entirely and they sort of became boring.. I stuck with them through all these years but eventually ventured into Tomb Kings just to try something new.. Well with the new Skaven, I’m back baby..
And my opponents are doomed!
