This weekend is the big weekend of wargaming conventions. In London, Salute 2013 saw Mantic Games pull the veil of their Warpath Deadzone offerings, which will hit Kickstarter on Friday. In Chicago, Adepticon is in full swing, and with it CoolMiniOrNot’s Crystal Brush painting competition. I was not able to attend either. Hopefully next year. [...]
Holy! What a weekend. First the Warhammer Fantasy High Elves break, now their pointy-eared Sci-Fi cousins appear with a picture leaked via the ever reliable Faeit212! [link removed, as Faeit212 was taken down] Take a look at the blister for the evidently imminent Plastic Eldar Farseer for Warhammer 40K! #1 – The Leaked Blister Pic [...]
Wow. What a day! Two high-quality pictures from the new Warhammer Fantasy Battle Army Book for High Elves were leaked through a GW-store Facebook page some time ago. Now, more “conventional” White Dwarf scans have appeared on Warseer. Some really interesting kits… and a big release by the look of it. Enjoy! #1 – The [...]
I’ve written a few posts on the new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K. I have not yet addressed the elephant in the room: the new XV104 Riptide Battlesuit. The Riptide is the biggest, most impressive miniature for the new range. It’s the answer to all those years of “big Tau robo-suit” wishlisting. It is also [...]
Among the great things Kickstarter brought to the miniatures wargaming niche, besides lots of interesting new miniatures, are the wealth of interesting game ideas the crowd-funding platform has helped bring to market. Some of the highest-grossing tabletop Kickstarters have been co-operative miniatures games, a genre that – a few years ago – would’ve been considered [...]
A staple of all Tau armies are the XV8 Crisis Suit teams. Both in the 4th Edition and in the new 6th Edition, a wide selection of options are available to customize the load-out of Crisis Suit teams to different needs (Tau skipped the “no-armoury” age of 5th Edition). XV8 Crisis Suits get to pick [...]
The Warlock Sagas: Instruments of War is one of three initial publications by Privateer Press’ new e-book outfit. Specifically, it’s a story for their Hordes miniatures game, telling an origins/coming-of-age story for Archdomina Makeda, a prominent character in the tabletop game as well. I struggled a bit to get “into it” at first, possibly because [...]
The new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex is the second Warhammer 40K Codex written by the “new” kid on Games Workshop’s Codex writer-team: Jeremy Vetock. Codex Dark Angels was his first. Looking more in-depth at the new Tau Empire Codex, I can’t help but make comparisons between the two books. And while there’re some good [...]
This is a guest post by Chris Michaels of PoweredPlay.net, currently also on Kickstarter. Prototyping is one of the most exciting parts of doing something completely new in the world of modeling. It’s almost God-like, because you’re creating something that has never been created before. In the modeling world, that could easily be seen as a [...]
