Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
The latest White Dwarf Weekly – the second in a row without new miniatures – is all about the new Edition of Warhammer 40K, which went up for pre-orders last night. Indeed, it is probably the most-leaked Weekly White Dwarf yet. Pictures and scans from this issue kept a lot of blogs – including mine […]
I managed to pick up a copy of Phil Kelly’s Sigmar’s Blood (for free!). Vampires, Witch Hunters, grimdark Fantasy! What could go wrong? Well, I wasn’t really impressed however. Sigmar’s Blood is hectic and jumbled and, for me, fails to really create the mood and theme necessary for its, at first glance, interesting premise. Also, […]
As you may or may not know, I am a huge DreadBall fan and have followed Mantic Games for a while. Like most people, I also started the hobby with Games Workshop games. Both companies are based in Nottingham in the UK, Mantic Games in Greasly Street and Games Workshop in Lenton. Indeed, Mantic Games […]
Games Day 2013. I’ve written a blog post “from the hip” about my (for the most part) general disappointment with UK Games Day 2013, especially compared with UK Games Day 2012. One of the few things I did pick up at Games Day (no Games Day miniature for me this year) was a few Black […]
I have to ask: Did Games Workshop drop the ball on Heldrakes with their last FAQ? What am I talking about, you are asking? Well, Games Workshop latest Chaos Space Marines codex FAQ (pdf link) ruled that a Heldrake’s ranged weapons are to be treated as “Turret Mounted Weapons“! Q: How do I determine the […]
There is little doubt that the star of the recent 6th Edition Tau Codex is the the XV104 Riptide. The Riptide is a great model. It has a great variety of weapon-options, all of them useful in one way or another. It is hard to find a Tau army without a Riptide these days. With […]
A signature addition to all Warhammer 40K Codexes in 6th Edition has been the list of unique Wargear items. Chaos Space Marines got Artifacts. Dark Angels Chapter Relics. Chaos Daemons Hellforged Artefacts. Tau their Signature System. Now Eldar get Remnants of Glory. For the most part, these are underwhelming and/or overpriced in the early 6th Edition books. There is […]
The Eldar will arrive this weekend (for pre-orders at least) to the 6th Edition of Warhammer 40K. Games Workshop’s been exceptionally tight on this one, though the first images from the White Dwarf have started to appear the last couple of days. If you haven’t seen them, take a look: Eldar Spiritseer Eldar Hemlock Flyer Eldar […]
The Chaos Daemons Codex released by Games Workshop in March for Warhammer 40K is a tough one for me. I don’t play Daemons, nor do I feel much tempted to start now. I don’t play much against (!) Daemons either. They don’t seem to crop up in my corner of the UK (which is actually […]
Soooo… Chaos Daemons. Games Workshop is releasing new books for Warhammer 40K in rapid-fire mode. Tau are all over the place. The pre-orders will likely be up this weekend, even though Games Workshop’s latest release, the 6th Edition Chaos Daemons Codex is hardly a month old. #1 – My Chaos Daemons Codex Conundrum For a number of […]
