White Dwarf November 2013 – A Review

November 2013 White Dwarf

Last weekend I picked up a copy of the latest White Dwarf, my 3rd this year after Dark Angels and Apocalypse 40K. My first “fantasy-focused” White Dwarf too! Given that November 2013 saw a “2nd-wave” for October’s Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves release, I was wondering if they’d switch up the format a bit (no luck there!). I was […]

Poll: Your Favourite 2nd Wave Dark Elf Release?

Dark Elves 2nd Wave Fleetmaster

Games Workshop released the second wave of miniatures for Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves. The first two-month release wave in 2013 so far. There are some really interesting miniatures in the mix, with possibly some clues for the future design direction of Warhammer Fantasy miniatures. So I thought I will put up a little survey of […]

Review: The Imperial Truth – A Horus Heresy Anthology

Imperial Truth Horus Heresy Anthology

Another event-exclusive book I took home from Games Day 2013: The Imperial Truth! The Imperial Truth is an anthology of 6 Horus Heresy stories. Unlike the “regular” Space Marines 2013 Games Day Anthology, these are proper “full-sized” short stories. Also, for being a Horus Heresy anthology, there were surprisingly few Space Marines stories in The […]

Change – Building A Smaller, More Personal Blog

change to pins of war

If you are a (more or less) regular visitor to my blog, and you’ve been here over in the last week, you may have noticed that I have been a bit … restrained … in blogging about the latest rumours and upcoming releases. The interwebs have been hot on Warhammer Dark Elves, Sentinels of Terra, […]

Review – Lords of Waterdeep by Wizards of the Coast

I am not normally big on board games (though I play a mean Monopoly!). Recently, I had a chance to play a few rounds of Lords of Waterdeep. Here are my thoughts on the game. Lords of Waterdeep is a strategy board game set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. In this Euro-style game, players […]

Pins of the Month – October 2013

Fire Walker – An Excerpt from Neverland’s Library

Neverland Anthology

If you’ve been here before, you will be aware I greatly enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy stories. When Roger Bellini asked if I’d be interested in publishing an excerpt from their fantasy anthology, Neverland’s Library, now on Kickstarter (and funded!), I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Here’s an excerpt of one story that will be […]

The Garden of Nurgle and Nurgle Plaguebearer List

Warhammer 40K Herald of Nurgle

Yesterday, Games Workshop announced that they’ve released another batch of digital products, including a nurgly background-supplement called the Garden of Nurgle. The Plague Father’s realm within the Warp includes the nauseating putrescent of the Garden of Nurgle. A tangled forest of noxious plants and rotting souls the garden is crisscrossed with winding paths and stinking […]
