Path of the Archon is the third and last book of Andy Chamber’s Dark Eldar trilogy. Three books in, Andy Chambers is clearly at the top of his game in bringing the Dark City to life. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t live up to the glorious setting and scenery Andy Chambers rolls out. Too often it […]
I wrote a post similar to this one some months ago. The Grot Makari got a short mention in the most recent White Dwarf, which made it pop up again. Many people pointed out that my old “5 lost characters”-list wasn’t really up to date (notably, Cypher made it back!). Long story short, let’s do […]
A slightly older book from Black Library, Fear the Alien is a short-story anthology with stories about … wait for it … aliens! Like the game of Warhammer 40K, Black Library is heavily Imperium (and Space Marine) biased in their publications, at least in the number of publications. That alone made me want to take […]
As there weren’t actually any games on Games Day 2013 (outside of the valiant efforts by the guys from Fantasy Flight to demo some of their board games), the Golden Demons and Armies on Parade painting competition were the only “fan-contribution” to the event (beyond shopping). Here’s a choice of 5 miniatures from the Golden […]
Path of the Incubus is the second novel in Andy Chambers’ Dark Eldar series. The book continues the story from Path of the Renegade and the series will conclude in the upcoming Path of the Archon. One key character – the Harlequin Motley – also plays a central role in Andy Chambers’ spin-off novella and Edgar-Allen-Poe-homage The Masque […]
One of Games Workshop’s best known and most senior miniature sculptors – Juan Diaz – has left the company after 16 years to return to his home in Spain. Apparently Juan Diaz will now work for Zenit Miniatures and, possibly, do some freelance work under the name of Tiny Tales Studio (I assume Kickstarter-hopeful miniature […]
Path of the Renegade unleashes all the weirdness and intrigue of Commorragh in an action-packed romp through the stranger aspects of the Warhammer 40K-verse. It is the definite Dark Eldar novel from Black Library. The things that keep this from a top rating are (a) mainly the lack of a truly self-contained story, and not “just” opening the trilogy […]
Occasionally, one has to ask oneself basic questions. Or, failing that, ask the readers of your blog some basic questions. So here is one for you: Are spam-armies in Warhammer 40K inferior to other armies (lists), or do they merely represent a different, just as viable approach to the game? #1 – Warhammer 40K Spam […]
The hardback premium novella ‘The Masque of Vyle’ struck me as an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what Andy Chamber’s new Dark Eldar series novels (launched in 2012 with Path of the Renegade and followed last month with Path of the Incubus) would be like. After ‘The Masque of Vyle’, I wanted to read more […]
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 […]
