A few months ago, when everybody was flicking through the new Codex for Chaos Space Marines, I noted there were no new special characters in the first 40K 6th Edition Codex. #1 – Warhammer 40K 5th Edition and Special Characters This was – and is – quite a major break from what everyone was accustomed […]
I have been leafing through the Dark Angels Codex for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition a bit more. Being a new book, a new edition, a new codex author, etc.., I am trying to let it sink in a bit before making any attempt at a review or judgement call. Last week, I posted my musings […]
With the Warhammer 40K 6th Edition Dark Angels codex released, now seems a good time to see how Games Workshop is tinkering with point costs to influence the meta-game. More than any other unit, the basic, most common Space Marine units offer an excellent rough indicator to comparing different editions of Warhammer 40K. They are, […]
The latest White Dwarf from Games Workshop. I already forked an article about the controversial battle-report found in this White Dwarf. Time now, to run through the rest of the magazine. I clearly wont be able to cover every bit, which is arguably the reason I find reviewing the White Dwarf tedious.. it’s very hard […]
Time to take a peek at the limited edition of the Codex: Dark Angels. I’ve wondered what these new limited edition codexes for Games Workshop’s 6th edition of Warhammer 40K were all about. I missed the Chaos version, limited to 1000 copies worldwide, which was gone before I even knew that a limited edition Codex […]

Holy! Games Workshop is truly pulling all the strings for the Dark Angels. Not one, but a total of three YouTube videos have now appeared to showcase and celebrate the (re-)release of the Unforgiven. They are titled Retribution, Devastation and Fortitude. Games-Workshop-YouTube-Eye-Candy at its finest. Take a look!
It is time! The White Dwarf pictures have circulated on the internet. Now it is official. The Dark Angels are here. Check out the latest release for Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40K: the Dark Angels in all their dark and gothic splendour. Deathwing, Ravenwing, new sculpts for Asmodai and Belial, and the new Dark Angels Codex, including as (slightly […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone got through the New Year’s festivities alright. If you missed it celebrating, Games Workshop released the official word for the upcoming Dark Angels codex and miniatures in the form of a brief teaser YouTube trailer. Reason enough to take a closer look at the Dark Angels’ classic background, rich with […]
A lot of Dark Angel pictures spilled before Christmas. Now, three more pictures of the coming Dark Angels from January’s White Dwarf appeared. They include a first sighting of a Deathwing Terminator with Plasma Cannon, a shot of a Watcher in the Dark and the Dark Angel Standard Bearer. All in all, this one is […]
