The cover of next week’s White Dwarf Weekly previews a new Space Marines boxed set – Strike Force Ultra – including the new Terminator Captain, Ultramarines First Captain Agemman. The details on the miniature are generic enough that he should make a fine non-Ultramarine Terminator Captain. But the little ‘U’-shaped laurel on the shield and […]
Warzone Valedor & 7th Edition: White Dwarf Weekly 15
The White Dwarf Weekly 15 is here. Possibly the first time since GW launched the weekly format, we have a week without new miniatures. This is a “books only”-week, and somewhat of a stopgap between the Wood Elves from the last two weeks and (presumably) next week’s all-out coverage of Warhammer 40K 7th Edition. Perhaps […]
Summoning Daemons in Warhammer 40K 7th Edition
One of the news about Warhammer 40K 7th Edition gleaned from the recent White Dwarf “previews” was the new lore of Daemonology. From the wording, this psychic discipline is actually two: the evil Malefic and the good Sanctic. The former, presumably, summons daemons, the latter banishes them. My, like many people, assumed that most psykers […]
Fantasy Flight Previews the Tantive IV for X-Wing
Fantasy Flight’s fantastic X-Wing Miniatures Game is a bit at a cross-road. They’ve mostly exhausted the known ships from the classic Star Wars movies that make for good dog-fighting: the TIE Fighter and its movie-variants, the eponymous X-Wing, the Millenium Falcon and Slave 1, etc.. . The game has clearly been a massive success for […]
Beyond the Gates of Antares: Algoryn
Wow. Beyond the Gates of Antares was silent for a year, but now things are coming blow upon blow. First we’ve seen some painted, finished Boromites. Now, Warlord Games previews renders for the Algoryn Faction (which I don’t remember from the Kickstarter). The Boromites had a kind of retro-charm, but the Algoryns … they are […]
Storm of Vengeance Previews – Ravenwing, Comms & More!
A month ago, the developers from Eutechnyx were kind enough to share some unit previews of their upcoming Storm of Vengeance game (based on the classic Dark Angels vs. Orks 40K campaign of the same name), asking for feedback and opinions from the community. Now, Eutechnyx sent out a new package of previews for upcoming […]
Storm of Vengeance Previews – Feedback Wanted!
Once upon a time there was a campaign for Warhammer 40K, which pitched Dark Angels Space Marines against the might of Ghazghkull Thraka himself: Storm of Vengeance. To my surprise, my (rudimentary) google-fu still found a pdf for the Storm of Vengeance campaign on the GW website. More recently, game developers Eutechnyx dropped the news, that […]
Black Library Previews Clan Raukaan Codex Supplement
Holy! These guys are relentless. You thought Games Workshop’s Codex and Army Book release-schedule in 2013 was fast? Games Workshop Digital is clearly aiming to put their print-supplement colleagues to shame. Codex Inquisition isn’t even released yet, and previews are gearing up for the Iron Hands Space Marines Codex Supplement: Clan Raukaan. #1 – Black […]
Thoughts on the Latest Sentinels of Terra Preview
Games Workshop’s Digital Edition’s team has started the facebook-preview-machine for the upcoming Sentinels of Terra supplement. If their Adepta Sororitas previews are anything to go by, it’ll be a torrent of stuff that I cannot possibly all cover here. So do follow their Facebook-Page! Still, I thought I give a few thoughts on their latest preview, […]
