In many ways, an era is coming to an end next weekend, when Games Workshop will release the first Codex for Warhammer 40K 7th Edition: Codex Orks. It struck me that now would be a good time to take a look back at the nearly 2 years of 6th Edition and ask, which of the […]
Warhammer 40K 7th Edition is coming. We are less than a week away from preorders (get ready for a sticker-shock), and two weeks until the first people will be opening the new book. From what we’ve seen so far, which is admittedly an incomplete picture, Warhammer 40K will be changing, a lot! Do you like […]
Ever since word got out, that Games Workshop was doing a plastic kit for an Imperial Knight, debates have raged on whether gamers should opt for the model from GW themselves, or opt instead for a surprisingly fitting alternative, the Leviathan Crusader from DreamForge. Time for … a poll! #1 – Leviathan vs. Knight Debates […]
I admit, the work of Warhammer 40K (and Fantasy) rumour-mongers is hard, dangerous and thankless. Lots of misinformation, lots of vague wishlists being flaunted as rumours, and very few, if any, good indicators of what is, or could be, a genuine rumour. This January, the Warhammer 40K is treated to a special treat: Two rumours […]
Wow. The new Tyranids are finally here!! This one felt like a loooong time coming, given how some people expected the new Tyranid Codex in December already (and that particular rumour proved surprisingly contagious). Either way… they are here now, including as iBook pre-order (which usually has nice previews). The Great Devourer has come, unleashing new […]
A little rules conundrum I came across in Warhammer 40K, which I thought I’d share (not least to get some opinions). Can a unit in Warhammer 40K with the Interceptor special rule fire its weapon twice during the opponent’s turn, once using Interceptor and once using the Overwatch rule? #1 – A Day in Warhammer […]
It has been a curious experience browsing Warhammer 40K forums and blogs this weekend. Why? Because GW released two Warhammer 40K supplements – Escalation and Stronghold Assault – that add super-heavies and fortifications to Warhammer 40K respectively. In some corners of the internet, the sky is falling and “Warhammer 40K is changing forever”, yet I […]
Games Workshop released the second wave of miniatures for Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves. The first two-month release wave in 2013 so far. There are some really interesting miniatures in the mix, with possibly some clues for the future design direction of Warhammer Fantasy miniatures. So I thought I will put up a little survey of […]
Your favourite Primarch model? I wanted to ask this for a while, but … well, never had the time. However, with Games Day fast approaching, it seems like the right question for this weekend! Which Primarch miniature released by Forge World (since starting on them on last years Games Day) is your favourite? If you […]
This topic came up on the PinsofWar Facebook page (thanks everyone for the interesting debates there.. you rock!). In some locations at least, it seems, the new Space Marines miniatures aren’t selling very well. Sure, the Codexes go like hot cakes, because everyone want’s a new Codex! And the Limited Editions are rocking eBay. But the […]
