Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
Citadel recently released a new range of hobby toys, including this fancy hand-held drill for £16,-. The sticker-price is obviously a huge issue. Similar products go for 1/3rd on Amazon, probably less if you look around. So what do you get for your money from Games Workshop? Price aside, it is a nice, well/made tool, designed […]
Finding good, that is reliable rumours about Warhammer 40K is a tough job. Games Workshop, generally, has done a good job of clamping down on any leaks. Sadly, the vacuum has mostly been filled by made-up stuff. Now, the Facebook page of 40K Radio used to be a beacon of solid information, predicting Imperial Knights […]
Well, Games Workshop certainly has a reputation by now for teaser videos that … well … are very minimalist (aside from an opulence of logos). Here is the latest offering. Enjoy! In the Emperor’s Name Teaser Video Thoughts? Let me know what you think! Z.
White Dwarf Issue 8. It feels like a “filler”-White Dwarf, with a rag-tag collection of releases that “didn’t fit” anywhere else, including rarely seen Hobbit releases. Still, it will be remembered for a long time as the White Dwarf with the Void Shield Generator cover, a (for most people at best) Saturday-morning magazine advertising a […]
I continue to build my X-Wing miniatures collection. I now own 4 Rebel ships, 2 X-Wings (incl. the one from the base game), an A-Wing and a HWK-290. These make a few nice 100 pts. squadrons to play with. Building a squadron for the “Dark Side”, however, feels trickier, mostly because I feel buying a […]
I recently neglected Forge World a bit (with the exception of Lorgar). Time to make up. For one, there’s some new, gritty Iron Hands Space Marines… the Immortals. For another, an intriguing jigsaw preview, that is almost certainly going to end up a Horus Heresy name of some kind. #1 – Iron Hands Medusan Immortals […]
We played Total Extinction by Sentinel Games. All I can say is WOW! Fast paced, engage lay, easy to play, and seriously, after reading the rules, you don’t need to look back much at all. This is a guest-post by Jeff La Belle & Crew, backers of Total Extinction on Kickstarter. Preparing a Game of […]
I am somewhat late to the party. Nevertheless, after hearing lots of good things about Fantasy Flight Games’ smash-hit X Wing the Miniatures Game, I decided to take the plunge. It certainly is a great little game (more on that another time). Here’s what you get when you first open the basic box for the […]
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 […]
Terrain in miniature wargaming is an odd affair. Without doubt, the look of your gaming table, the “feel” of your game depends as much (if not more so) on the terrain you have, as it does depend on your miniatures. Nevertheless, wargames terrain (for a lot of people) only gets a fraction of the effort compared […]
