A First Look at the New Warhammer 40K 7th Edition Allies Chart

Zweischneid — Wed, 21 May 2014 06:59:39 +0000

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, […]

Fear the Alien – Book Review

Zweischneid — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:42:21 +0000

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 […]

Eldar Ghost Warriors – Is it any Good?

Zweischneid — Sun, 08 Dec 2013 09:56:53 +0000

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 […]

Five 2013 Rumours for Warhammer 40K that Never Happened

Zweischneid — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 06:35:33 +0000

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 […]

Zweischneid — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:30:00 +0000

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 […]

How Do You Use Eldar Striking Scorpions?

Zweischneid — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:06:39 +0000

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 End of the Elder Vyper Squadron

Zweischneid — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 08:35:11 +0000

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 […]

A Review of Codex Iyanden

Zweischneid — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:07:11 +0000

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, […]

Eldar Codex Available for Android and Kindle

Zweischneid — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:13:25 +0000

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 […]
