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 […]
Let us take a look at the second book of three core books that make the new edition of Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium. If A Galaxy of War corresponds to the hobby/miniature-gallery sections of the old single-volume book (albeit poorly, IMO), Dark Millennium covers the background section. A 128 page on Who’s Who in the […]
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, […]
2013 is coming to an end. Everyone’s getting ready for the festive days. Christmas presents will soon be unwrapped. And, of course, it’s the time to think back on the past year. I don’t blog about Warhammer 40K exclusively, but Warhammer 40K, as a game, has certainly been through a crazy rollercoaster of a year. […]
A slightly older book from Black Library, Fear the Alien is a short-story anthology with stories about … wait for it … aliens! Like the game of Warhammer 40K, Black Library is heavily Imperium (and Space Marine) biased in their publications, at least in the number of publications. That alone made me want to take […]
I have to admit, there is a certain excitement to Games Workshop’s digital advent calendar, simply because these releases do indeed shake up the game (if you use them), at least the formations and data-slates do (though the motive clearly is to push the Christmas bundles). We’ve had two so far (for Warhammer 40K): The […]
I started this block late in 2012. When I did, the interwebz were going made over a spilled release list detailing all Games Workshop releases for Summer 2013, including plastic Sororitas and more. It was an expertly made fake, complete with product codes, etc… . The fake rumours in 2013, in contrast, haven’t been nearly […]
Over the last few days, we saw Games Workshop Digital & Black Library’s new digital Advent Calendar shake up the game of Warhammer 40K. If the trend continues (almost a given with Eldar and Space Marines Formations to match the Tau Firebase Cadre Support Formation), army-list-building in 40K is suddenly very different from what most […]
Way back in June, a press release went out that there will be a Warhammer 40.000 MMORPG, called Eternal Crusade, at some point in 2015 (if things are on schedule). 2015 is, admittedly, long ways off. Still, Behaviour Interactive, the people making the game, recently previewed a bit of in-game footage (very early W.I.P of […]
One popular conspiratorial rumour has it that Games Workshop is always tweaking their rules to give their latest releases for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K a slight advantage in the game, and players a reason to buy the newest stuff. Whether that claim usually holds or not, a curious “new” arrival to Space Marines tactics […]
