Update: GW’s digital Codex: Inquisition has been released now! It probably was the Games Workshop “surprise” of the month: Codex: Inquisition. Even more so than the Codex: Adepta Sororitas, it put Games Workshop Digital Edition on the map. Now, with a flurry of previews, Games Workshop (Black Library?) put this digital exclusive Codex for Warhammer […]
At the risk of stirring up (again) the proverbial hornet’s nest, I felt the need to share these two recent pictures from Apple (or rather, from Chitika) on the use of the iPad vs. alternative devices. Why? Simply because it is a discussion that keeps coming up in talking about Games Workshop’s bias for Apple’s […]
The Kickstarter for Golem Arcana – The Digitally Enhanced Miniatures Board Game – funds for half a million US$, at more or less the last minute! The game – Golem Arcana – isn’t truly my cup of tea (from what I see), but the campaign for it shows wonderfully that it is worth fighting for […]
In today’s Newsletter, Games Workshop unveiled the new cover art for the upcoming digital Codex: Adepta Sororitas. The initial art shown in the White Dwarf preview was older, recycled artwork, but this one appears to be a newly commissioned piece? At least I haven’t seen it before. Update: The digital Codex: Adepta Sororitas is now […]
Back in July, first pictures and ideas were revealed for Golem Arcana, a “digitally enhanced” tabletop miniatures game from the makers Shadowrun Returns, Battletech and other things. The game is hitting the miniatures gaming niche from the video-game side of the world, though the idea of having a miniatures game interwoven with digital stats, automated […]
Update: The promotion is over. How to Paint Tactical Marines is now a £2.99 iBook. A favourite past-time on the internet is slamming Games Workshop for high prices. Curiously enough, Games Workshop seems to have missed the opportunity to counter that perception, even when they do actually hand out free stuff. You heard it correctly. Free […]
It appears that the new Space Marines Codex departs from established patterns in a few ways. For a start, the Codex (in paper) has a lot more pages, will cost 5 quid more than previous Codex books for 6th Edition 40K, and comes with a record number of 7 Limited Edition covers. On top of […]
In time with Apocalypse 40K, Black Library released the Armageddon collected volume, which includes Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s two Black Templars stories set during the Third War for Armageddon: Helsreach and Blood and Fire. Helsreach is arguably Black Library’s most iconic Black Templars story. Black Templars fans venerate the book with an almost religious fervour. I thus approached this book with […]
Miniature wargames and tabletop games are – shiny iPad army-books and miniature sculpted with ZBrush notwithstanding – a profoundly non-digital hobby at heart. Miniatures are cleaned and assembled with knifes, files and glue, terrain is build the old fashioned way and battles fought with tape measure and dice. No attempt to integrate miniature games more […]
Today, Games Workshop opened pre-orders for the digital edition of their second-ever Codex Supplement: Codex Farsight Enclaves. I am still somewhat puzzled by the idea of “pre-ordering” a digital book, and a bit disappointed by the lack of a paper version. The art-previews look rather good. Rumours have it, a hardback version of the Farsight […]
