Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
I admit, the work of Warhammer 40K (and Fantasy) rumour-mongers is hard, dangerous and thankless. Lots of misinformation, lots of vague wishlists being flaunted as rumours, and very few, if any, good indicators of what is, or could be, a genuine rumour. This January, the Warhammer 40K is treated to a special treat: Two rumours […]
Gold is a surprisingly common colour for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K. Not all miniatures are completely in gold, like the Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard but, but there are small gold-sections on a lot of miniature. In this tutorial I present a short guide to painting gold with Citadel Metallic Paints. There are different ways […]
More digital goodness from Games Workshop Digital Editions. Along with the second wave of Dark Elves miniatures, GW released the digital version of the Blood Angels Codex today. Also, they published a teaser preview from the upcoming Codex Inquisition: Ordo Xenos. #1 – Blood Angels Digital Codex Lots of previews of the new digital Blood […]
Gemstones and other ornamentation are important visual elements for a Blood Angels army. Doubly so for blood-drop shaped stones, a central part of Blood Angels iconography. The Blood Angels Terminators from the Space Hulk boxed set have a lot of details like this sculpted on. Painting them, I decided to paint gemstones purple, contrasting nicely […]
In partnership with Games Workshop, Slitherine Games is developing a “Battle for Armageddon” game in the turn-based, hex-based strategy game format Slitherine Games specializes in. Now, there’s a first glimpse of what we will visually be looking forward to for this game. A collection of unit-graphics for the Blood Angels and the Imperial Guard from […]
Warhammer 5th Edition is over. Everyone’s talking about Warhammer 40K 6th Edition now. Yet the final closing of 5th Edition also offer a unique moment to stop, look back and reflect on how those years have changed, for better or worse, the miniature wargame that still is – without a doubt – the big kid […]
A lot of people these days seem to take it as a bad sign that the Sisters of Battle are currently relegated to an army list published only in an out-of-print White Dwarf, with little to no up-to-date (read: plastic) miniatures to make the army reasonably collectible. True, Blood Angels once suffered the same fate […]
Slitherine Games is a comparatively small British game developer. They recently launched a few games for the iPad, including Battle Academy and Legion. All appear to be turn-based strategy games or board-game simulations in some shape or another. A few weeks ago, news broke that Slitherine partnered with Games Workshop to develop a Warhammer 40K-based […]
Bloodspire and Deathwolf are two Space Marines Battles audio dramas by C. Z. Dunn and Andy Smillie respectively. Bloodspire features the Blood Angels. Deathwolf the Space Wolves. Both describe fights for (different) hive cities. Bloodspire felt a bit abstract, lacking a narrative core. Deathwolf, in contrast, was highly enjoyable. Most of all, the entire thing […]
A few weeks ago, I interviewed David Annandale, one of Black Library’s more recent new authors. He made (some short stories aside) an impressive Black Library debut with Yarrick: Chains of Golgotha. Now, his first full Warhammer 40K novel is here. Black Library already released the eBook for the Space Marines Battles novels The Death […]
