Poll: The Best 6th Edition Codex for Warhammer 40K

Zweischneid — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 18:30:55 +0000

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 […]

More evidence appears that the starter-set for Warhammer 40K 7th Edition will indeed be the same that it was for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition… Dark Vengeance. #1 – White Dwarf Preview #2 – 40K Radio Rumour Confirmation Via 40K Radio. Another 40k fact about 7th. Stick with 40k Radio for facts not rumors and fiction. […]

How To Field Imperial Knights With A Chaos Army

Zweischneid — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 06:32:10 +0000

The Imperial Knights have arrived in Warhammer 40K in all their gothic glory. I am building a Knight and, as of this weekend, been studying the new Imperial Knights Codex. Among the most frequent complaints I heard, is the harsh restriction that prevents Imperial Knights from forming an alliance with Chaos armies of any kind. […]

New Helbrute – White Dwarf Issue 6

Zweischneid — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 09:36:13 +0000

Slowly but surely we are seeing how Games Workshop’s releases are taking advantage of the new weekly “release windows”, launched with the new White Dwarf Weekly format. The last two weeks were dedicated to the Imperial Knights. Indeed, the Imperial Knights Codex is only in GW stores today. But it’s not a “month of Knights”, […]

What the HelDrake?

Zweischneid — Sun, 28 Jul 2013 11:25:47 +0000

I have to ask: Did Games Workshop drop the ball on Heldrakes with their last FAQ? What am I talking about, you are asking? Well, Games Workshop latest Chaos Space Marines codex FAQ (pdf link) ruled that a Heldrake’s ranged weapons are to be treated as “Turret Mounted Weapons“! Q: How do I determine the […]

Covers of Upcoming Black Library Novels

Zweischneid — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:51:46 +0000

With the Farsight Enclaves Supplement being the talk of the town, I decided it’s about time to sit down finishing my Tau Codex review. I started writing that one … dunno .. months ago. It’s still a beast that keeps evading me, so I’ll keep it under taps for another day or two to tame […]

Ahriman: Exile by John French – A Book Review

Zweischneid — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:32:14 +0000

Ahriman: Exile starts a new trilogy on one of the most famous Chaos Marine Renegades: Ahriman. Ahriman: Exile is a very well written, very well crafted book. I wasn’t 100% convinced by the central premise of this book, of bringing Ahriman down a notch or two and showing him full of doubts, weak and with […]
