Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
In many ways, an era is coming to an end next weekend, when Games Workshop will release the first Codex for Warhammer 40K 7th Edition: Codex Orks. It struck me that now would be a good time to take a look back at the nearly 2 years of 6th Edition and ask, which of the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
