From the Inbox: 500 Point Army List with Pathfinders – Revised

fire warrior

Alright, the list I posted yesterday did not work. Shows me for assuming things about a supplement I don’t own! Many thanks to everyone pointing out the flaws. Hello,I was reading your article: https://pinsofwar.com/starting-a-tau-40k-army/ and love the idea you’re giving suggestions. However I blindly bought a random Tau set, the Pathfinder team, and was wondering how you […]

From the Inbox: 500 Point Tau Army with Pathfinders

Tau Crisis Suit Team

As pointed out in the comments, this list is not viable (except being played as “unbound”). Here’s a revised 500 pts. Tau list. A Tau list-building question arrived in my inbox today. To be honest, I haven’t played Tau in 7th Edition (though I did get wiped by a Tau army in 7th Edition.. I […]

Strange Black Library eBook Pricing

Black Library

A blog-post about Games Workshop and prices? I know. That probably isn’t going anywhere good. Still, have a look at one of Games Workshop’s upcoming novel additions – Sandy Mitchell’s ‘The Greater Good’. Specifically, compare the pre-order price for the actual book with the (get it before the release) eBook version. Presumably, as you can […]

White Dwarf Issue 7 – Knights, Daemons & Apocalypse

White Dwarf Apocalypse Damocles

White Dwarf Weekly 7 arrived! When I heard this weeks release was a 40K Apocalypse campaign supplement, I was a bit torn. I love campaign books, but Apocalypse still hasn’t really entered my gaming. I still don’t know if I’d ever buy War Zone: Damocles, but this weeks White Dwarf is surprisingly good, not least […]

Games Workshop’s Apocalypse War Zone: Damocles

damocles crusade

Games Workshop recently moved to a weekly release schedule for their new books and product, complete with changing the White Dwarf from a monthly to a weekly format. For the most part, it’s been a wild ride so far. Dwarfs, more Dwarfs, Imperial Knights, Imperial Knights Codex, a new Chaos Helbrute, a new Chaos Space […]

How To Base Miniatures With Citadel Texture Paints

Basing with Static Grass

I have been asked how I make cool bases, especially if I need to do a lot of them for larger armies. The following is a quick guide on how to make good-looking bases for gaming models using the Citadel Texture Paints as a base. In this case, I used Stirland Mud. This hobby tutorial […]

40K Rules Conundrum: Interceptor & Overwatch in the same turn?

Tau Empire XV88 Broadside

A little rules conundrum I came across in Warhammer 40K, which I thought I’d share (not least to get some opinions). Can a unit in Warhammer 40K with the Interceptor special rule fire its weapon twice during the opponent’s turn, once using Interceptor and once using the Overwatch rule? #1 – A Day in Warhammer […]

Warhammer 40K in 2013 – The Year in Pictures

Tau Riptide

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. […]

Fear the Alien – Book Review

Review Black Library Fear the Alien

A slightly older book from Black Library, Fear the Alien is a short-story anthology with stories about … wait for it … aliens! Like the game of Warhammer 40K, Black Library is heavily Imperium (and Space Marine) biased in their publications, at least in the number of publications. That alone made me want to take […]

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 […]
