Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
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 […]
Warhammer 40K 7th Edition is upon us. The overall vibe, over the past few weeks, seems to have become more positive. But what are the three (!) new core books of 40K really like? I’ll be looking at each of the three books in the new edition of Warhammer 40K: A Galaxy of War, Dark Millennium, […]
Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Warmachine – possibly the last time Privateer released the Convergence of Cyriss faction. Well, that time has come again, Privateer unveiled another new faction for Warmachine – the sadistic Cephalyx! #1 – Cephalyx Faction Video Being the Warmachine-newb I am, I’ll hand over to Privateer […]
As there weren’t actually any games on Games Day 2013 (outside of the valiant efforts by the guys from Fantasy Flight to demo some of their board games), the Golden Demons and Armies on Parade painting competition were the only “fan-contribution” to the event (beyond shopping). Here’s a choice of 5 miniatures from the Golden […]
Path of the Incubus is the second novel in Andy Chambers’ Dark Eldar series. The book continues the story from Path of the Renegade and the series will conclude in the upcoming Path of the Archon. One key character – the Harlequin Motley – also plays a central role in Andy Chambers’ spin-off novella and Edgar-Allen-Poe-homage The Masque […]
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 […]
I took some time to look closely at my team of DreadBall Void Sirens; one of two Season 2 teams for DreadBall I received with the second shipment from the DreadBall Kickstarter. Like almost all DreadBall miniatures, these are highly flavourful sculpts. The fact that they can be easily played as both “Void Sirens” or as […]
Path of the Renegade unleashes all the weirdness and intrigue of Commorragh in an action-packed romp through the stranger aspects of the Warhammer 40K-verse. It is the definite Dark Eldar novel from Black Library. The things that keep this from a top rating are (a) mainly the lack of a truly self-contained story, and not “just” opening the trilogy […]
Occasionally, one has to ask oneself basic questions. Or, failing that, ask the readers of your blog some basic questions. So here is one for you: Are spam-armies in Warhammer 40K inferior to other armies (lists), or do they merely represent a different, just as viable approach to the game? #1 – Warhammer 40K Spam […]
The hardback premium novella ‘The Masque of Vyle’ struck me as an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what Andy Chamber’s new Dark Eldar series novels (launched in 2012 with Path of the Renegade and followed last month with Path of the Incubus) would be like. After ‘The Masque of Vyle’, I wanted to read more […]
