One popular conspiratorial rumour has it that Games Workshop is always tweaking their rules to give their latest releases for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K a slight advantage in the game, and players a reason to buy the newest stuff. Whether that claim usually holds or not, a curious “new” arrival to Space Marines tactics […]
Along with the new Space Marines Anti-Aircraft tanks, the only other truly new unit are the Centurions, both as Centurion Assault Squad and Centurion Devastator Squad. Centurions didn’t get much love from the community when the first pictures hit, but it seems quite a few (though probably not all) people are coming around to them. […]
The surprise was a bit spoiled as the price appeared in a list leaked shortly before the Space Marines Codex was revealed. But it is here now: Games Workshop’s “one-click-collect-an-entire-Space-Marines-Chapter” bundle deal! We proudly present our most ambitious collection ever! Nearly 1,200 Space Marine models representing the Ultramarines as deployed at the Battle of Orar’s […]
The new Space Marines Codex doesn’t introduce any new Flyers (though the Codex now includes both the Stormtalon and the Stormraven). Instead, the book introduced two new anti-aircraft tanks: The Stalker and the Hunter (right in the pair painted by Medows Arts above). Both are awesome models that enhance the time-honoured Rhino-aesthetic very nicely. But […]
I took a first look at the regular Space Marines Codex two days ago. Though the contents are obviously the same, let’s take a look at the added eye-candy offered by the Limited Edition Space Marines Codex for those extra £35,- over the unlimited version. #1 – Limited Edition Codexes & Me Games Workshop’s Limited Edition […]
This is easily.. very easily.. one of the most bizarre RAW/RAI disputes I’ve come across in a long time. Do not enter without your most detail-obsessed mindset. First things first, without a doubt, among the most surprising things about the new Space Marines Codex is the fact that the Black Templars Space Marines – former masters of […]
Space Marines! The new Codex is here. Time to take a look! They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear. Obviously, I haven’t done a thorough reading of the book. These are – in essence – arbitrary things that […]
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 […]
As of today, the new 6th Edition Warhammer 40K Space Marines are available for pre-order. Without a doubt, it’s been one of the most thoroughly leaked releases from Games Workshop of the last few years. Even rules from the Space Marine Codex abound on the interwebs. Of the new miniatures, the Space Marine Centurions easily sparked […]
