So… Fancy new graphics All Imperial Armies combined into one heading and Battle Brothers (no more Space Wolves keeping a distance to Dark Angels). Imperium and Tau are Desperate Allies Tau and Eldar are Allies of Convencience (the “end” of TauDar?) Eldar & Dark Eldar, Chaos Marines & Daemons remain Battle Brothers (the only ones, […]
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 […]
I have to admit, there is a certain excitement to Games Workshop’s digital advent calendar, simply because these releases do indeed shake up the game (if you use them), at least the formations and data-slates do (though the motive clearly is to push the Christmas bundles). We’ve had two so far (for Warhammer 40K): The […]
I started this block late in 2012. When I did, the interwebz were going made over a spilled release list detailing all Games Workshop releases for Summer 2013, including plastic Sororitas and more. It was an expertly made fake, complete with product codes, etc… . The fake rumours in 2013, in contrast, haven’t been nearly […]
Hussar 2013 on the 19th was the 4th Hussar Painting Competition held in Poland. Miniature painters assembled and showed off their best. I wasn’t there, but pictures were shared on Facebook (many thanks to Joker Studio.. shoot them a like!). Here are 10 of the amazing entries (in no particular order). #1 – Meadow of […]
Black Library is releasing Warhammer 40K Tactica eBooks, starting with Eldar Wraithknights. This certainly is an interesting Saturday, full of unusual releases from Games Workshop. First the Space Marines Ultramarines Chapter One-Click Bundle. Now the first of a new series of Tactica-eBooks from Black Library to help you play Warhammer 40K. The first one is […]
Less than two months ago, shortly after the release of the new 6th Edition Eldar Codex, I took a brief look at some of the Eldar Aspect Warriors in the latest edition of Warhammer 40K. One type of Aspect Warrior that didn’t immediately catch my attention were the Striking Scorpions. Was that an oversight (as […]
The Vyper Squadron is gone, at least from Games Workshop’s (UK) online store. Perhaps GW wanted to discontinue the 3-Vypers-in-a-single-box all along. The timing, a few days after the oddly priced Winderider Host Bundle went up for pre-order, seem … unfortunate. #1 – Vypers and the Windrider Host Formation This weekend, the new Warhammer 40K Apocalypse […]
The Iyanden Codex supplement is not easy to review. On one hand, it was far better than I feared. The background section is simply brilliant, and the tie-in missions designed to bring this background to the table-top are a stroke of genius. It’s a template I’d love to see used again. On the other hand, […]
Games Workshop’s decision to publish it’s Warhammer 40K Codex books (and Warhammer Fantasy Army books) as eBooks is still a fairly new one, all things considered. Thus far, GW’s eBook publications (as opposed to Black Library’s eBook publications) have been limited to publications for Apple devices, notably the iPad. Now, Games Workshop expanded the range […]
