Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
Not too long ago, trailers were released for X-Men Days of Future Past – the Movie. I may not be a huge X-Men fan (movies or comics), but the movie’s title picks up on one of the X-Men comics more famous stories, available as a collected volume paperback. Good enough to have a look! Days […]
For the last month or so, longer even, Games Workshop Digital Edition really upped their output, releasing a torrent of digital Codexes and Codex supplements for Warhammer 40K. On a weekly basis, I’ve blogged about teasers and pre-orders for things like Sentinels of Terra, Codex: Adepta Sororitas, Codex: Inquisition, and – on sale today – […]
Chief Librarian Tigurius returned to Warhammer 40K 6th Edition with a vengeance. He’s arguably the character who gained the most from the updated 6th Edition Space Marines Codex, once again living up to his name as one of the greatest Pykers in the galaxy. I’ve been a fan of Tigurius in 5th Edition too, but […]
Having unboxed the X-Wing Miniatures Game and an extra X-Wing, I’m well on my way to a small Rebel Squadron. Time to spice it up with something different. In this case, the more recently released (“Wave 3″) HWK-290 Leight Freighter Expansion, which is (I believe) the first and thus far only X-Wing Expansion that brings […]
Deathwatch by Steve Parker is rip-roaring Space Marine action at its best, spiced with plenty of morbidly gothic set-pieces, intrigue and an interesting cast of characters. It is one of those books that remind me why I started reading Warhammer 40K novels in the first place. Not as highbrow as the Horus Heresy series, Deathwatch […]
After getting my head around the X-Wing Miniatures Game Starter Box (which doesn’t take long), plans soon started appearing in my head on how to expand my squadron. Like many people starting out in the X-Wing Miniatures Game, I built a Rebel Squadron first, not least because it takes less ships to do so, making […]
Good games are games that tell interesting stories. Any kind of game can tell a story, from ancient classics like Chess, King’s Table, and Go, to complex military simulations like Warhammer. Characters appear; problems beset them; solutions are sought and struggles are endured; and events in the world unfold. At the end of the story, the […]
This is a tutorial on using two of Games Workshop’s Citadel technical paints – ‘Ardcoat and Lahmian Medium – to apply decals to miniatures in a way so they appear to be perfectly part of the armour and are not clearly discernible as decals applied on top of the paint of a miniature. This painting […]
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 […]
Slimy bugs are the talk of the town these day, both on Kickstarter and in Warhammer 40K. Personally, I’ve never managed to start a Warhammer 40K Tyranid army, but there is no denying that slime, claws and chitin bring out some of the most amazing paint-jobs in the hobby. Time to take a look at […]
