This is a guest post by Tim Everett from Black Widow Company. The Idea This is my first cosplay outfit, outside of Halloween costumes, which don’t really count. I started planning this outfit in mid-2010, but I didn’t start actual work until around March or April of 2011. I first got the idea from a […]
The question came up in the comments to my Tau Codex review, and it is clearly a key question for anyone setting out into Warhammer 40K hobby: How do I get started building my army? I am going to try giving a more thorough answer – for the 6th Edition Tau – here. #1 – […]
Re-posting Talk Wargaming’s Space Marines rumour Q&A yesterday, I briefly noted that there are Tyranid rumours flying about. Promptly I received some Tweets where and what these rumours are. To be honest, I haven’t published what is out there, because it is (A) a lot, (B) often still vague and (C) usually mixed with loads […]
Look to Windward is Iain M. Banks’ seventh sci-fi epic about The Culture, his famously quirky post-human, post-scarcity interstellar utopian society.

August 11th was the date of this years Games Workshop Games Day Germany. Though it appears Games Workshop did not reveal any new miniatures on this Games Day (such as.. well… Space Marines), the internet is overflowing with all sorts of awesome and inspiring pictures from this years Golden Daemon competition in Germany. By far […]
Border Wars isn’t perfect, but I don’t feel that it has any real problems either. I’d have liked more content, but then it doesn’t cost very much. It is hard to fault a good product that costs £5. Warhammer Battlefields: Border Wars: {rating} Some basic details, followed by my thoughts. What You Get With Border […]
Time for some light-hearted and morbid fun. Not every Kickstarter needs a hundred quid or more to get you a new game. Sometimes Kickstarter is a great place just to pick up some fun things that break the mould. Some unique dice perhaps. Or Zombie-Pin-Up-themed Poker Cards!
