The new Dark Elves for Warhammer Fantasy were officially unveiled by Games Workshop today. Though I am not a Warhammer Fantasy player, I must say that the last few releases for Warhammer Fantasy, most recently Lizardmen and now Dark Elves, have all been spectacular miniatures. Fantasy releases don’t seem to generate quite the hype that […]
Games Day UK Giant Troll Hag by Warhammer Forge
Games Day UK 2013 is drawing closer. The highlights we know will be on display at the show are the XV107 R’Varna Riptide variant and Iron Hands Primarch Ferrus Manus from Forge World. For the Fantasy-side of things, I am hoping to see some of the rumoured new Dark Elves from Games Workshop itself. It seems […]
Mantic Games Disappointing Basilean Hard Plastic Sprues
If you are in the miniatures wargaming hobby, chances are you’ve bought and painted, even collected Games Workshop miniatures at some point.

The End of Games Day? This might be […]

Poll: New Warhammer Chaos Daemons Miniatures
Oh boy. Rarely have there been models as contentious as the new Chaos Daemons. When the first, small and grainy pictures broke, the overall opinion seems to have been negative. When new and better pictures showed up, quite a few (though clearly not all) people changed their minds. Whatever the case, I think it’s about […]
Tre Manor’s Kickstarter Troubles
Tre Manor’s 2nd Red Box Games Miniatures Kickstarter was cancelled. Despite reaching nearly three times the (teaser)-goal, it fell well short of Tre Manor’s first Kickstarter last year. It also, apparently, failed to raise the funding for some of the key miniatures he was aiming for. #1 – A Week of Chaos Daemons… This certainly […]
Unboxing – Valdis the Witch from Norsgard
Just after Christmas last year, I was one of the lucky few to win a miniature of Valdis the Witch in Norsgard’s Facebook naming competition. This week, the postman came knocking with a package from Poland. Inside, of course, a brand new blister with Valdis the Witch from Norsgard. Many, many thanks again to the awesome […]
