Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
Back from the holidays, back to see what’s happening in the world of Wargaming. The big topic clearly is the rumoured 7th Edition of 40K, which seems more or less confirmed. Having that in mind, I found the most recent White Dwarf Weekly article by Jervis Johnson intriguing. Amid another plea for more story-driven gaming, […]
As you may or may not know, I am a huge DreadBall fan and have followed Mantic Games for a while. Like most people, I also started the hobby with Games Workshop games. Both companies are based in Nottingham in the UK, Mantic Games in Greasly Street and Games Workshop in Lenton. Indeed, Mantic Games […]
I had a busy week, and haven’t been able to follow the world of miniature wargaming as closely as I usually do. When I did, I came across a rather curious sight when I checked in on the final days of Mantic Games’ most recent Kickstarter for a Mars Attacks board game: It seems to […]
It’s here: Mars Attacks! Mantic Games’ 5th Kickstarter (including Loka, which – though published by Mantic – was as much Alessio Cavatore’s pet project), and their first Kickstarter for a licensed Intellectual Property. By every possible benchmark, this is Mantic’s most professional and slickest Kickstarter yet. It’s flawlessly build and took off like a rocket on its […]
All right. This is a post-type I’ve tried to revive for a while, highlighting some of the cool miniature-pics on www.pinsofwar.net. It’s still not the most active site in the world, but I’ve grown very fond of it for bookmarking some of the cool miniatures out there. Let’s have a look at this month’s collection! […]
This post is for those of you that have not yet dived into the world of Warpath. However, rather than go into extensive detail of every aspect of the game, I am going to give you a quick run down of the things that I think make the game awesome… This is a guest post by Andrew Brown from […]
A lot of people like to give Games Workshop a hard time for what they perceive to be an old-fashioned or, at worst, even clumsy approach to handing their online and social media presence. Games Workshop’s decision to shut down their main Facebook-page is often cited as proof. Whatever your view of GW’s online marketing […]
Why do Zombies rule Kickstarter.com? It is an honest question. If you came here looking for the answer, I must disappoint you. Yet, as anyone who spends time on the site will quickly find, Kickstarter.com is overrun by Zombies. They are everywhere! Clearly, the attraction of using Zombies for a Kickstarter project goes far beyond […]
Mantic Games is frantically producing one great game after another. They are now on Kickstarter for Deadzone, a Sci-Fi skirmish game promising to bring easy, fast game-play of board games to the table (read the Interview with Jake Thornton for details). Though game-play is one innovation of Deadzone, another one is Mantic’s foray into digital […]
Having missed every gaming event this year so far, and still holding a Mantic Ticket from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I headed to Nottingham for Mantic’s Open Day and DreadBall tournament. The DreadBall tournament was a blast, though I’ll keep my DreadBall thoughts for another post. However, even though I spend most of the day focused […]
