Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
I tried to wean myself off excessive Kickstarter blogging. And yet, I have to write a short one on this, as it goes straight to the heart of the “What-is-Kickstarter-and-what-is-it-not” controversy, which I previously tackled in my ‘Kickstarter is Entertainment‘ article. Summary: Rick Priestley’s ‘Beyond the Gates of Antares’ Kickstarter seeks to create an “authentic” […]
I had a lot of fun (and luck) doing interviews with talented artists, sculptors and entrepreneurs behind several interesting crowd-funding campaigns. I especially those more unusual fundraisers that dare to stray off the beaten path. So when #warmongers‘ own Hugo from Ichiban Painting launched the Ichiban Studio Miniatures Indiegogo, I knew who I really needed to […]
Not a lot of time to blog today. Deadlines have no mercy! But if you’re looking for a good read, head over to TheShellCase, where Phil just posted a great interview with Graham McNeill. Feels right on time, as I’ve just started into The Dark King (as a follow-up to Black Library’s recent audio drama Script book thing). […]
With my Chaos Space Marines Challenge concluded, there is no giveaway on PinsofWar.net at the moment. That doesn’t mean that there are no opportunities to win cool prizes out there. Here are three fantastic giveaways that might interest you. Check out these great giveaways from Titan Forge, Nicholas Kay and #warmongers‘ Golden Daemon Winner Ichiban […]
The end of the year is approaching. Time to look back. I may be early, but I am guessing Games Workshop’s work on the Hobbit Strategy Battle Game will mean the end of Warhammer 40K releases for 2012. Hopefully, 2013 will start strong with a new Codex (Dark Angels?). Here is 2012 in Warhammer 40K […]
Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that I’ve managed to contact all four winners of my Chaos Space Marines Hobby Challenge! Prizes are on their way, going to as diverse places as Australia, Canada, the UK and the United States. I’d also like to thank all the blogs, forums and hobby-sites that helped promote […]
I was drifting through the Internet, stumbling across this little special character review of the “new” Huron Blackheart and the “new” Kharn the Betrayer written by Hitting on 3s. One interesting feature was their ‘before vs. after’ look at how Kharn translated from 4th/5th to 6th Edition. A more pressing question, however, came back to me […]
Quite a coincidence. I launch into the first giveaway of my own and on the very same day I win the Druid Gone Wilder Gen-Con exclusive from Disobedient Donkey Games. Hell, I almost missed to call in on time because I was so busy setting up my own giveaway and getting some university-stuff in on time. […]
Games Workshop continues to confuse me with their limited editions. Their latest, the limited version of the Dark Vengeance starter box featuring a unique “only-in-the-limited-edition”, steam-powered Chaplain, sold out in a wink. Or was it? New rumours seem to point to the limited edition being artificially withdrawn, despite stocks not having cleared. Can this be […]
