This month – as I painted a lot of Ravenwing miniatures and will move on to painting Raven Guard Space Marines next week (!) – I decided to share my recipe for painting the black armour plates on a Ravenwing Land Speeder! Of course, this works for any black armour. I hope you like it. […]
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 […]
I am running a small poll on what people perceive to be the best Codex released in Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. The tail light of this poll is the Chaos Daemons Codex. While this may be unfortunate, it isn’t all that surprising. Though Daemons have a small, but devout following of fans, the Codex received […]
A late Friday night surprise from the guys over at Forge World: Legion MKIV Outriders. Or, in other words, Forge World’s take on Space Marine bikes. Unlike a lot of Horus Heresy miniatures, these bikes are (to my knowledge) not a retro-redesign of older (as in.. 1980s, early 1990s) Games Workshop miniatures, but a more […]
It is time, once again, to call upon the crowd-wisdom of my loyal Pins of War blog-readers to solve me a Warhammer 40K rules conundrum. Reading the latest Dark Angels codex for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition, I was (and remain) deeply impressed with the new and shiny Ravenwing options. As a consequence, I paid little […]
A lot of pixel-ink has been spilled on the interwebs over the last weeks, trying to divine the do’s and don’ts of the new 6th Edition Dark Angels codex. Fortunately, the new list is surprisingly “deep”, offering a great variety of lists and builds that seem viable and fun. It avoids “no-brain” choices such as […]
I admit, the latest Dark Angels Codex for Warhammer 40K is killing me. On the first read, it struck me as solid, if perhaps just a tiny but lackluster. The more I page through it, not least to come up with a “verdict” for a review of sorts, the more I find myself tinkering with […]
Yesterday, I was rambling a bit about the (to me) rather un-fun trend in 6th Edition Codexes of adding no new Special Characters. Ok, there might not be any new kids in the book. Therefore, I took an in-depth look at the five Special Characters that actually are in the book. Azrael – Supreme Grand Masters […]
I have been leafing through the Dark Angels Codex for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition a bit more. Being a new book, a new edition, a new codex author, etc.., I am trying to let it sink in a bit before making any attempt at a review or judgement call. Last week, I posted my musings […]
A lot of Dark Angel pictures spilled before Christmas. Now, three more pictures of the coming Dark Angels from January’s White Dwarf appeared. They include a first sighting of a Deathwing Terminator with Plasma Cannon, a shot of a Watcher in the Dark and the Dark Angel Standard Bearer. All in all, this one is […]
