Forge World is warming up for their upcoming Forge World open day. Unsurprisingly, the Horus Heresy dominates all. Here are the miniatures and books previewed for the event! #1 – The Isstvan Campaign Collectors Edition The Isstvan Campaign Collector’s Edition £145 #2 – Horus Heresy Book 3: Extermination The Horus Heresy Book Three – Extermination […]
White Dwarf Issue 8. It feels like a “filler”-White Dwarf, with a rag-tag collection of releases that “didn’t fit” anywhere else, including rarely seen Hobbit releases. Still, it will be remembered for a long time as the White Dwarf with the Void Shield Generator cover, a (for most people at best) Saturday-morning magazine advertising a […]
Something is wrong. Either with Games Workshop, or with the Internet. Reading blogs and forums yesterday and today about the Void Shield Generator – which sold out within minutes of pre-orders going up – it seems that – by the assumption of many people commenting on this piece of Limited Edition terrain, Games Workshop can […]
Wow. That thing has been online for about 5 minutes! 1000 Limited Edition copies were available. All gone! The White Dwarf for that thing only goes out tomorrow. I know the limited Edition Codex Books, even at 1000, tended to last the weekend at least. Somebody at Games Workshop seriously underestimated demand for this piece […]
A mixed bag of goodies arriving from Games Workshop & Forge World this week, especially if you like the Mechanicus Cog. GW is releasing a limited release resin-cast Void Shield Generator, as well as a set of grimdark craters, while Forge World adds an Iron Father. #1 – Void Shield Generator Own a terrain piece […]
Here I am, blogging about miniature gaming and related Kickstarter for .. I don’t know … two years maybe? And still I am surprised at what goes and what doesn’t go on Kickstarter.com. #1 – The Kickstarter-Magic of Dwarven Forge One of the things that obviously kickstarted like hotcakes last year was the deceptively simple […]
Since yesterday, I’ve been flipping through the new Tyranid Codex. I’ll freely admit that – thus far – Nids have been something of a blind spot for me in Warhammer 40K. That Tyranids cannot be allied with other armies also makes them more difficult to collect in 6th Edition. There are simply fewer options to […]
Terrain in miniature wargaming is an odd affair. Without doubt, the look of your gaming table, the “feel” of your game depends as much (if not more so) on the terrain you have, as it does depend on your miniatures. Nevertheless, wargames terrain (for a lot of people) only gets a fraction of the effort compared […]
Last year, a new miniatures gaming company – Hawk Wargames – launched a new 10mm sci-fi miniatures game – Dropzone Commander (and without Kickstarter!). Fans lovingly call it DZC. I remember the vivid debates sparked by the “premium” prices of the Dropzone Commander resin miniatures and, even more so, the DZC resin terrain buildings. With […]
Last year’s Reaper Bones Kickstarter was easily the highest-grossing crowd-funding campaign for miniatures. Hell, it even brought Kickstarter.com’s servers to its knees. “Bones” doesn’t appear in the Tabletop Games category, as it offers no games… just loads of miniatures. Still, nearly 3.5 Million US$ put it comfortably ahead of all the other Kickstarter top-dogs of […]
