Alright. The new Imperial Guard Astra Militarum Codex is out in the wilds now. While I am not the greatest scholar of the Imperial Guard in 40K, I can’t help but feel that a lot of the rules feel .. um … tedious? Prone to unnecessary rolls and re-rolls. It might be symptom of having […]
In honour of today’s release of the Codex: Astra Militarum, formerly known as Codex: Imperial Guard (or CAMfkasCIG), I dipped back into the Golden Demon collection for some inspirational highlights on what the world’s best miniature painters did with the Imperial Guard, back when it still was the Imperial Guard. Enjoy! #1 – Leman Russ […]
The third (and presumably last?) week of Imperial Guard releases arrived. Games Workshop put the latest additions to the newly named Astra Militarum up for pre-order: new plastic Ogryns, which also build close-combat Bullgryns, and a plastic Commissar. #1 – Officio Prefectus Commissar Standing proud amid the blood and thunder of the front lines, a […]
I made a few notes on the new approach to army organisation in the Codex: Militarum Tempestus yesterday. But how does this direct-only “mini-Codex” hold up as a whole? Is it worth buying, or an unnecessary stop-over until next week’s Codex: Astra Militarum? In a nutshell, I think this book is a good example of […]
Today, the new (mini-)Codex: Militarum Tempestus arrived in stores. With just a quick glance at the “army list” section (which no longer carries that name) shows some big changes to the way a Codex (even a Codex supplement) for 40K is organized. The format is reminiscent of Apocalypse, Escalation and the recent Imperial Knights Codex. […]
White Dwarf Title: Take Cover! Me: It Ignores Cover! Sorry. Had to get that out! I found it rather funny that the latest issue, which tries very hard to sell you the latest Str. 4 Artillery Piece for the Imperial Guard Astra Militarum on the virtues of having Ignore Cover and Barrage (!) is filled […]
Games Workshop’s releases for this week have arrived (on pre-order). The Codex: Astra Militarum (in other words, the full Imperial Guard Codex, after the Stormtrooper Militarum Tempestus mini-dex) and a new tank dual-kit, which builds either the Hydra Flak Tank or the Wyvern Surpression Tank. #1 – Codex: Astra Militarum The Astra Militarum, commonly […]
White Dwarf Weekly Issue 9 arrives… obviously dedicated front-to-finish to the new Militarum Tempestus release. However, there’s also a short Apoc-Battle Report and a surprisingly thought-provoking column by Jervis Johnson. Not the worst White Dwarf Weekly you could pick up. #1 – Militarum Tempestus The big release this week is the vanguard of – presumably […]
All right Ladies and Gentlemen. Games Workshop put up the pre-orders for the Astra Militarum … well, the Militarum Tempestus for the moment. You can now enjoy the 360° of the Taurox, the Tempestus Scions and other goodies in the GW-webstore, if you like. There is also an interesting little surprise as well …. a […]
Here were are. Games Workshop just revealed the cover of this week’s White Dwarf Weekly, with the new Astra Militarum on the cover (as well as a Tau vs. Necron Battle Report?). White Dwarf is out tomorrow and available in Games Workshop stores, independent stockist and right here on the Games workshop website. Tearing onto […]
