Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
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 […]
I continue to grow my Imperial squadron for the X-Wing Miniatures game. Though I have a Slave 1, which I field regularly (the only way I get to 100 pts. on the Imperial side), having started with Rebels made me long for more missiles and bombs. Enter the Tie Bomber Expansion Pack. Another awesome-looking ship, […]
Today’s the day. The new Tyranid codex is officially released and in stores along with the new Tyranid miniatures. The first Warhammer 40K codex of 2014. The first Warhammer 40K codex officially written by the “Games Workshop Design Team”, rather than a specific lead-author. Moreover, this seems to be a codex that is getting a […]
I continue to build my X-Wing miniatures collection. I now own 4 Rebel ships, 2 X-Wings (incl. the one from the base game), an A-Wing and a HWK-290. These make a few nice 100 pts. squadrons to play with. Building a squadron for the “Dark Side”, however, feels trickier, mostly because I feel buying a […]
The Imperial Tie Interceptor!!! If you’ve seen some of my earlier X-Wing unboxings, you might know that I’ve explored the game from the Rebel side. What about the Empire? Well, the most popular way to play the Imperials is arguably with large squadrons of Tie-Fighters. It’s a indubitably an iconic theme for Star Wars, and […]
I have played DreadBall for a solid year now. With a steady supply of new toys coming from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I had no need to actually buy any DreadBall miniatures the old-fashioned way (as far as ordering from an online-store can be considered “old-fashioned”). With Christmas closing in, I treated myself to a new […]
A good day today. Shipment No. 3 of the DreadBall Kickstarter, containing miniatures for DreadBall Season 3 arrived today. Lots of fantastic new miniatures to unpack and, surprise, Mantic Games appears to have changed the recipe of their Restic (Resin + Plastic?) material. Here’s what I found in my box! #1 – The New Miniatures […]
Got my hands on some paints from The Army Painter for the first time, so I decided to write up some thoughts of unpacking it. I also took the chance to (ab)use some of my newly arrived Reaper Bones goodies (advertised as “ready-for-paint” without primer) as test-dummies. #1 – Army Painter Starter Price & Savings […]
Though I heard a lot of good things about Infinity by Corvus Belli, it is not a game I really tried yet. The Infinity miniatures are always stunning though. I really do like their style of Sci-Fi. One miniature that was on several “best-miniature-of-the-year” polls in 2012, at least the polls I saw, was Corvus […]
Christmas last year, I was one of the lucky few to win a miniature of Valdis the Witch in Norsgard’s Facebook naming competition. This week, the postman came knocking with a package from Poland. Inside, of course, a brand new blister with Valdis the Witch from Norsgard. Many, many thanks again to the awesome guys from […]
