Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
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 […]
Gold is a surprisingly common colour for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K. Not all miniatures are completely in gold, like the Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard but, but there are small gold-sections on a lot of miniature. In this tutorial I present a short guide to painting gold with Citadel Metallic Paints. There are different ways […]
More digital goodness from Games Workshop Digital Editions. Along with the second wave of Dark Elves miniatures, GW released the digital version of the Blood Angels Codex today. Also, they published a teaser preview from the upcoming Codex Inquisition: Ordo Xenos. #1 – Blood Angels Digital Codex Lots of previews of the new digital Blood […]
Gemstones and other ornamentation are important visual elements for a Blood Angels army. Doubly so for blood-drop shaped stones, a central part of Blood Angels iconography. These Terminators from Space Hulk have a lot of details like this sculpted on. Painting them, I decided to paint gemstones purple, contrasting nicely with the red armour. This […]
In partnership with Games Workshop, Slitherine Games is developing a “Battle for Armageddon” game in the turn-based, hex-based strategy game format Slitherine Games specializes in. Now, there’s a first glimpse of what we will visually be looking forward to for this game. A collection of unit-graphics for the Blood Angels and the Imperial Guard from […]
Rumours about future GW releases are always a fickle thing. This one, however, excites me. If the rumour-mongers are correct, the new Codex for Tau Empires will break with one of the most lamentable trends in Warhammer 40K 6th Edition: the lack of new Special Characters iconic to a Warhammer 40K faction or army. It […]
Bloodspire and Deathwolf are two Space Marines Battles audio dramas by C. Z. Dunn and Andy Smillie respectively. Bloodspire features the Blood Angels. Deathwolf the Space Wolves. Both describe fights for (different) hive cities. Bloodspire felt a bit abstract, lacking a narrative core. Deathwolf, in contrast, was highly enjoyable. Most of all, the entire thing […]
Black Library is clearly on a roll. In 2012, we saw the new premium hard-cover novels, the launch of Black Library in German and French, audio-drama script-books, a preview of Horus Heresy graphic novels, and a record number of new books and short-stories. 2013 kicks off with the same vigor, including several interesting novels and stories by some […]
Ho there! Just yesterday I posted by review of ‘The Flight of the Eisenstein’ in what I (foolishly) assumed was Black Library’s premium format. Boy, was I wrong. Today I get their latest newsletter. Following up on their recent, more obscure trailer, Black Library is releasing, or launching, a new line of books that will […]
Black Library managed to sneak in a little teaser with their latest newsletter. Below their announcement for Ahriman: Exile, they hid a nondescript teaser video called ‘Rebirth’. I dismissed it at first. However, watching the teaser again, it seems that nobody other than Mephiston, the Blood Angels’ infamous Lord of Death will star in this […]
