Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
So the word on the interwebs is (once again) that Warhammer 40K is ill-suited to be used as a competitive test of your skills against another opponent. Admittedly, that isn’t the main focus of Warhammer 40K – and as long as there is such a thing as a “meta”, competitive 40K cannot exist out of […]

A single CD with two Audio Dramas for the Horus Heresy: Hunter’s Moon by Guy Haley and Thief of Revelations by Graham McNeill. Hunter’s Moon is a nice story, well told, though it could easily have been a regular 40K story. Thief of Revelations, on the other hand, sweeps across the entire Heresy, but left me wondering […]
Games Workshop’s series of painting videos, which they launched recently has generally been very good. The three videos they put out to today are particularly noteworthy, not because it is about Orks, but because they show you how to paint a model in a nice, smooth yellow. Duncan Rhodes may talk all he wants about […]
Dataslates first hit Warhammer 40K during last year’s Digital Advent Calendar, leading up to Christmas. Like any of the pre-Christmas digital dataslates – say the Tau Fire Support Cadre – the Strike Force Ultra dataslate was written to match the box of miniatures of the same name. A Strike Force Ultra is considered by any Chapter […]
Forge World releases the Cerastus Knight-Lancer, recently previewed at the Forge World Heresy Weekender. It’s big! It’s a bit spindle-legged! It’s 170,- quid! #1 – The Cerastus Knight-Lancer The Cerastus Knight-Lancer is a first strike weapon, attuned to rapid assault tactics and lethal outflanking charges against a foe. It is justly renowned for its speed […]
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 […]
The Ork Gorkanaut (and Morkanaut) are here, as are glimpses of the new Flash Gitz. To top it all off, there are a few more rumours about the new 7th Edition Ork Codex via Beasts of War. Among the more interesting things is the idea of a whole new form of Detachment, which allows Orks […]
White Dwarf Weekly #18 is here – introducing the Gorkanaut and kicking off the new Warhammer 40K Ork releases (which, it seems, will continue with Flash Gitz next week). Still, this week is all about showing off the Gorkanaut (and Morkanaut). Despite the model’s size and plenty of Ork jokes, it feels like GW are […]
Games Workshop kicks off a (likely) series of Warhammer 40K Ork releases with a huge (but not superheavy) walker, the Gorkanaut (and it’s Morkanaut variant): a suitably ramshackle Ork-Walker with a bit of transport capacity to boot! At £65 RRP, it’s actually quite a bit cheaper than the Imperial Knight. #1 – Warhammer 40K Orks Gorkanaut The […]
