Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
Three days ago, I posted an article criticising Mantic Games for their latest announcement of a special ‘Azure Forest edition’ of their bestselling DreadBall game. As pointed out by vigilant Mantic fans and by Mantic Games themselves, pretty much everything I said in that article was wrong. Worse, it was published prematurely and without the […]
I made a few notes on the new approach to army organisation in the Codex: Militarum Tempestus yesterday. But how does this direct-only “mini-Codex” hold up as a whole? Is it worth buying, or an unnecessary stop-over until next week’s Codex: Astra Militarum? In a nutshell, I think this book is a good example of […]
Today’s the day. The new Tyranid codex is officially released and in stores along with the new Tyranid miniatures. The first Warhammer 40K codex of 2014. The first Warhammer 40K codex officially written by the “Games Workshop Design Team”, rather than a specific lead-author. Moreover, this seems to be a codex that is getting a […]
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 […]
Games Workshop Digital Editions is fast becoming my favourite part of the company. No, I still don’t have an iPad (or Android-something), but it seems they’ve assembled a team there that’s allowed to use previews to build anticipation for upcoming releases! Yesterday, lots of teasers – artwork and rules – went up on the Black […]
Games Day is coming to a close. Once again, it was a fine event, though the reduced numbers and the lack of gaming made it a very different beast from last year’s Games Day. I’ll write a more in-depth post tomorrow or so, but here’s a quick update with two “newsy” items. #1 – Sentinels […]
If you’ve followed the continuous flow of rumours coming out on the upcoming 6th Edition Space Marines Codex, you’ll possibly know by know that much of it is coming from 40KRadio, who seem to have some form of early copy / play test copy of the Codex. If they indeed have such a document, and […]
Today marks the release of the new Warhammer Fantasy Lizardmen. Along with the new Fantasy Army Book and Lizardmen miniatures, Games Workshop is giving another new type of digital products a try: Warhammer Battlefields. There are two of them available in the iTunes store. Warhammer Battlefields: Lustria Warhammer Battlefields: Border Wars Warhammer Battlefields from Games Worskhop […]
From the moment it was announced (and before), Death From The Skies sparked controversy. All the fuss about not getting the book in stores, needing to buy a 20,- quid FAQ, etc.. is only made worse by the fact that Death From The Skies is – truly – a very bad product. I believe (though I might […]
It is time. The first White Dwarf has arrived and the pictures have spilled. If I get this correctly, the credit this time goes to PlasticKraK Blog (please correct me if I am wrong). #1 – A Leak is a Leak is a Leak is a Leak? I have to admit, I am as late to […]
