Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
So… Fancy new graphics All Imperial Armies combined into one heading and Battle Brothers (no more Space Wolves keeping a distance to Dark Angels). Imperium and Tau are Desperate Allies Tau and Eldar are Allies of Convencience (the “end” of TauDar?) Eldar & Dark Eldar, Chaos Marines & Daemons remain Battle Brothers (the only ones, […]
2013 is coming to an end. Everyone’s getting ready for the festive days. Christmas presents will soon be unwrapped. And, of course, it’s the time to think back on the past year. I don’t blog about Warhammer 40K exclusively, but Warhammer 40K, as a game, has certainly been through a crazy rollercoaster of a year. […]
Ok. I am sorry. I promise my blog will not mimic Games Workshop’s Digital Advent Calender for the whole month, but there is a lot of interesting things coming out of it. Yesterday, we saw a new (and powerful) Character for Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Daemons (and the two Chaos Fantasy armies). Today, the […]
Forge World news! And it’s not even new Horus Heresy Space Marines for a change. Forge World will be releasing a new Tau Battlesuit for the upcoming UK Games Day 2013. It looks like a huge kit, a Forge World take on something akin to the XV104 Riptide (and it looks like it uses the […]
The question came up in the comments to my Tau Codex review, and it is clearly a key question for anyone setting out into Warhammer 40K hobby: How do I get started building my army? I am going to try giving a more thorough answer – for the 6th Edition Tau – here. #1 – […]
I received a little question on starting a Warhammer 40K Tau army via email this weekend. I’ll try to help. Maybe you can too! Just got the tau 6th edition codex, I want to build an easy 500 pt. army that can back some punch. Trying to use the riptide, don’t like the xv8 battle […]
Shadowsun: The Last of Kiru’s Line is a premium hardback novella from Black Library. Update: Shadowsun: The Last of Kiru’s Line has been released on iTunes now. Surely it’s no coincidence that ‘Shadowsun‘ (along with Firecaste) was released just ahead of Games Workshop’s upcoming Tau Empire release (which is expected to be out in early […]
I recently posted a review of the Codex: Tau Empire for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. Overall, I thought the Tau Codex is one of the better new Codexes for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. Evidently, not everyone agrees. Which leads me to a simple question: What is – in your opinion – the best 6th Edition […]
Games Workshop latest Codex Supplement for Warhammer 40K – Farsight Enclaves – is out today. The more people pour over the (e)book, the more it becomes clear that the supplement suffers from a particular bad case of unclear rules and bad editing. I sure make my share of mistakes writing on pinsofwar.com, likely far more than […]
With all the new excitement surrounding the upcoming Farsight Enclaves Supplement, I thought I should finally sit down and write down my thoughts on the 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex. Plentiful Options or Bland Gun-Line? There seem to be more or less two opinions on the new Tau Codex out there. On one hand people […]
