Privateer Press is planning a Kickstarter. Easily the biggest miniature company to launch a crowd-funding campaign yet. Privateer will not Kickstarter new miniatures or a new miniature game. Privateer Press is kickstarting “Warmachine Tactics”, a video game set – obviously – in the world of the Iron Kingdoms. Warmachine Tactics Video Trailer Warmachine Tactics Press […]
It has been a while since I wrote a post of this kind. To an extend, I suffered some Kickstarter / Crowd-funding burn-out, even though I immensely enjoy the crowd-funding loot I did (so far) receive, including the Massive Voodoo Figure Art book and, of course, DreadBall. Yet there are several interesting Kickstarter-campaigns running at […]
Do you need the Iyanden Supplement for the Eldar Codex to play an Iyanden army? To play a “fluffy” Iyanden army? To play an “effective” Iyanden army? The short answer to all three questions is: No! #1 – Five Optional Iyanden Rules I’ve had the new Iyanden Supplement for the Eldar Codex for a few […]
I do not read many Warhammer Fantasy books from Black Library, though I’ve long wanted to pick up Gilead’s Blood. I vividly recall the cursed, gloomy and enigmatic elf warrior named Gilead from way, way back in Black Library’s old Inferno Magazine. Gilead’s Blood reprints several of the old, loosely connected Gilead stories (though I don’t […]
It’s been a pleasantly hectic week over on the sister-site to this blog – www.pinsofwar.net. Busy enough, that I thought I’d do a quick round-up of some of the interesting stuff that has been pinned over the last week (or two). Here’s a (somewhat random) selection! #1 – Dark Sword Miniatures’ Thief of Hearts Up […]
With the recent release of Forge World’s Fulgrim miniature, it seemed like a good time to get back into the Horus Heresy series and pick up the next book after The Flight of the Eisenstein. That book, of course, is Graham McNeill’s Fulgrim. Fulgrim is an odd book. The story has a few problems if […]
There is little doubt that the star of the recent 6th Edition Tau Codex is the the XV104 Riptide. The Riptide is a great model. It has a great variety of weapon-options, all of them useful in one way or another. It is hard to find a Tau army without a Riptide these days. With […]
Last week, a miniature painting competition was held in Germany, the Golden Vinci 2013. Lots of awesome miniatures. Lots of deserving winners. To me – judging less the painting quality (for which I would not be qualified), but more the pure awesomeness of the overall composition – one piece in particular stood out. The Imperial […]
As (more or less) regular readers of Pin of War will know, I am very fond of named characters. If there is one army in Warhammer 40K that always had far more of those than almost every other 40K army, it is the Eldar. One reason for this is that, in addition to “normal” Special Characters […]
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 […]
