The Crimson Slaughter might be the last of the “old school” 6th Edition-style supplements, as “supplements” (or should that now be “sub-Codexes”?) from here on out appear to be stand-alone Militarum Tempestus style books. The Crimson Slaughter book also has a bad rep, mostly because it exists, and the Night Lords/Iron Warriors/whatever-supplement doesn’t. However, it is […]
My miniature collection grows, thus I need storage. Since I already own a few cases from Tabletop Tyrant, such as my trusty Kingmaker (behind the books in the pic above), I was more than happy to see Tabletop’s newest addition, the Squire Plastic Figure Case. Pretty much the same size as Tabletop Tyrant’s “half-size” Kingmaker, it […]
I’ve resisted the TIE Fighter expansion for X-Wing for a while. In many ways, it is the least economical of the expansion, as you get not just one, but two TIE Fighters in the X-Wing miniatures base game (and many people buy multiple copies of that). To make the TIE Fighter expansion attractive, Fantasy Flight […]
Splendor is an entertaining, abstract game where 2 – 4 players race to the most points. A lot of descriptions – on Amazon for example – describe the game as “addictive”. I don’t think I fully agree, but Splendor is a great way to spend 30 minutes, and the “puzzle” to collect the right combination […]
I raved about high quality of game components for Splendor the Board Game. But how does it actually play? Splendor is described as a chip collecting and card development game. This is actually a good, very literal summary of the two main steps that make up this game. Year Published 2014 Number of Players 2 − 4 […]
Splendor is a relatively new, abstract board game about collecting the right set of (gemstone-themed) cards. Not the usual wargamer’s fare, but it is one of three nominees for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres 2014 awards. I also happened to have a copy. Let’s take a look inside the box. #1 – Splendor – Box Contents […]
Dataslates first hit Warhammer 40K during last year’s Digital Advent Calendar, leading up to Christmas. Like any of the pre-Christmas digital dataslates – say the Tau Fire Support Cadre – the Strike Force Ultra dataslate was written to match the box of miniatures of the same name. A Strike Force Ultra is considered by any Chapter […]
Rumour has it that Space Wolves are following hot on the heels of Orks in the 40K summer of 2014. So I’ve dusted of my Vlka Fenryka, which is as good a reason as any to take a look at some of the “classic” miniature kits. Today: Fenrisian Wolves. The Fenrisian Wolf Pack is one of […]
The last of the three books in the new three-book-set for Warhammer 40K. GW even made the effort to number “The Rules” as book No. 3, after A Galaxy of War and Dark Millennium. Odd. Anyhow. While the merits and flaws of the changes to the game itself is beyond this blog post, I think many […]
Warhammer 40K 7th Edition is upon us. The overall vibe, over the past few weeks, seems to have become more positive. But what are the three (!) new core books of 40K really like? I’ll be looking at each of the three books in the new edition of Warhammer 40K: A Galaxy of War, Dark Millennium, […]
