Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
Games Workshop recently moved to a weekly release schedule for their new books and product, complete with changing the White Dwarf from a monthly to a weekly format. For the most part, it’s been a wild ride so far. Dwarfs, more Dwarfs, Imperial Knights, Imperial Knights Codex, a new Chaos Helbrute, a new Chaos Space […]
Last weekend I picked up a copy of the latest White Dwarf, my 3rd this year after Dark Angels and Apocalypse 40K. My first “fantasy-focused” White Dwarf too! Given that November 2013 saw a “2nd-wave” for October’s Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves release, I was wondering if they’d switch up the format a bit (no luck there!). I was […]
Forge World has a special treat today for fans of Apocalypse 40K. A new version of Imperial Armour Apocalypse is now up for pre-order on their site. Lots of super-heavy units of course, new Apocalypse 40K missions and a new Warzone in the style of the Armageddon Warzone released for Apocalypse 40K by the Games […]
In time with Apocalypse 40K, Black Library released the Armageddon collected volume, which includes Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s two Black Templars stories set during the Third War for Armageddon: Helsreach and Blood and Fire. Helsreach is arguably Black Library’s most iconic Black Templars story. Black Templars fans venerate the book with an almost religious fervour. I thus approached this book with […]
Al right. Time to close my Warhammer 40K Apocalypse poll and start something new. Well over 600 people cast their vote. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to do so. These things obvious do not (and cannot) adhere to any kind of representative sampling. Still, I find them insightful as to what readers […]
It is clear that the Chaos Space Marines Lord of Skulls kit by Games Workshop, which has been released this week, is a divisive one. A lot of people hate it. A rare few love it. Me, I can absolutely see where most of the criticism is coming from, though I’ve always felt that there […]
Supplements are all the rage with Games Workshop these days. We had the first Codex Supplement – Iyanden – for the Eldar Codex just a few weeks ago. A new Farsight Supplement (possibly eBook only) for the Tau was announced in the most recent White Dwarf. I suppose it is only logical that the new […]
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, […]
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 […]
I am, at best, an infrequent White Dwarf reader. The last I picked up was the issue on Dark Angels. This weekend, I picked up the July 2013 White Dwarf on GW’s latest iteration of Warhammer 40K Apocalypse, partly because I don’t think I’ll buy the new Apocalypse 40K rulebook right away. Some basic observations: […]
