Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
One thing that always stirs up some controversy in 40K are the “Spirit of the Game”-boxes included in the rulebook, which emphasise players – not just game designers – doing their part to make sure a game of Warhammer 40K is fun, enjoyable and “reasonably balanced”. Love it or hate it, the philosophy has been […]
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 […]
Rumour has it that Space Wolves are following hot on the heels of Orks in the 40K summer of 2014. So I’ve dusted of my Vlka Fenryka, which is as good a reason as any to take a look at some of the “classic” miniature kits. Today: Fenrisian Wolves. The Fenrisian Wolf Pack is one of […]
The latest White Dwarf Weekly – the second in a row without new miniatures – is all about the new Edition of Warhammer 40K, which went up for pre-orders last night. Indeed, it is probably the most-leaked Weekly White Dwarf yet. Pictures and scans from this issue kept a lot of blogs – including mine […]
Finding good, that is reliable rumours about Warhammer 40K is a tough job. Games Workshop, generally, has done a good job of clamping down on any leaks. Sadly, the vacuum has mostly been filled by made-up stuff. Now, the Facebook page of 40K Radio used to be a beacon of solid information, predicting Imperial Knights […]
Oh boy… The Primarchs are here, and no, they are not from Forge World. Polish miniature painting studio Den of Imagination has been sculpting and showing off their version of the famous Warhammer 40K Primarchs, exquisitely sculpted in (mostly) green-stuff and to match official Games Workshop artwork of the Primarchs to boot. They are not […]
The license (prospects?) for a full-fledged “old school” computer game in the Warhammer 40K universe may have sunk with THQ (for now? forever?), but these app-games, browser-games and free2play takes on Warhammer 40K just keep on coming. Here’s another one: Warhammer 40.000 Space Wolves from HeroCraft, a Russian mobile games developer. #1 – Warhammer 40.000 […]
It feels like I’ve been whining criticising a lot about Games Workshop’s new Apocalypse 40K formations recently. Still, here’s another one I’d like to throw out to you. The Space Wolves (and Space Marines) Librarius formation. Or, rather, their ‘Eavy Metal Paint Job. #1 – Space Marines Librarius vs. Space Wolves Librarius For some reason, […]
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 […]
It’s been a mad week for me. As the weekend is approaching (I’ll be needing this one), I wanted to make up for my own lack of time for hobby-stuff by showing off some amazing miniatures from the Lugdunum 2013 convention/competition (?) held in France this week. The End of Games Day? This might be […]
